  • Publication number: 20070098732
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of PDT-treated cells (whole or fragments thereof) and/or supernatant thereof in the preparation of vaccines for immunoprotection or immunomodulation. More particularly, the use of PDT-treated cells (whole or fragments thereof) and/or supernatant thereof in the preparation of an immunologic compound for prevention, protection, prophylaxis or treatment of an immunological disorder, infection and/or a cancer in an individual, which comprises treatment of the individual cells or components thereof with a photoactivatable molecule selected from the group consisting of compounds I to XVIII, wherein the photoactivatable molecule is activated by a light of appropriate wavelength, thereby activating the photoactivatable molecule and causing prevention, protection, prophylaxis or treatment of the immunological disorder, infection and/or a cancer.

  • Patent number: 4575363
    Abstract: A variable ratio drive pulley, of the type employed in snowmobiles to transmit a drive from the snowmobile engine via a belt transmission to the snowmobile track, has a fixed flanged and an opposed movable flange which co-operate to drive the belt. The movable flange is spring loaded away from the fixed flange and centrifugal means are included to overcome the spring force and urge the movable flange towards the fixed flange with a force that increases with the speed of rotation. The centrifugal means comprises a number of pivoted levers each having a roller cooperating with a ramp, and the pulley includes means whereby the position of the ramp can be rapidly adjusted without disassembly of the drive pulley, to vary the response of the drive pulley to different operating conditions.
