Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide construct comprising at least two fragments of an allergen from the Amb a 1 family of allergens from Ambrosia atermisiifolia or variants of said at least two fragments, wherein each of the at least two fragments consist of 20 to 50 amino acid residues and wherein at least one fragment is derived from amino acid residues 1 to 50 of the mature allergen and at least one fragment is derived from amino acid residues 240 and ending at the C-terminal end of the mature allergen.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fiber material for producing a container, wherein the fiber material comprises fiber structures for ensuring a predetermined stability of a container produced from the fiber material. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a method for producing a container using the fiber material, and container comprising the fiber material.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a container comprising fibers, wherein the container further comprises a coating that is biodegradable. The disclosure further relates to a method for coating a container comprising fibers for producing the container.

Abstract: In a known process for the manufacture of an elongated porous SiO2 preform, SiO2 particles are deposited on the mantle surface of a cylindrical carrier rotating about its longitudinal axis. The SiO2 particles are formed by means of a plurality of deposition burners which are arranged, at a distance from one another, in at least one burner row extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier. The burners are moved in a repeated cycle back and forth along the forming preform and between turnaround points where the direction of their motion is reversed. Measures are taken in the process to prevent or reduce overheating of the preform in the turnaround point regions. These measures can lead to variations in the rate of deposition.

Abstract: The overcoat emulsion for protection a carbon spot or other image transfer medium against smudging is made from a polyethylene wax emulsion. In addition, a stilt such as wheat starch may be added to the emulsion to improve the pressure absorbing qualities of the overcoat. In addition, a surfactant may be added to the emulsion to improve the wettability characteristics of the emulsion when being applied to a substrate such as a paper ply of a mailer.

Abstract: The image transfer medium, such as a carbon spot or microcapsule type of medium is provided with a protective overcoat which precludes smudging of an insert ply within the mailer form due to the rubbing of the face of the mailer form. The overcoat serves to preclude or greatly reduce an image transfer under a transversely applied rubbing force while allowing transfer of an image under impact force.

Abstract: The front ply of the mailer is provided with a cutout window and a transparent patch over the window. The patch is provided with a CB coating while the underlying area of the insert ply is provided with a CF coating for chemically reacting with the first coating in response to an impact force from a stylus on the patch. Imaged information on the insert ply can be viewed through the transparent patch while being protected by the patch.

Abstract: The front and back plies of the continuous mailer assembly are secured together by a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive. This adhesive secures the plies together in a fixed permanent relation. When the assembly is unfolded from a zig zag stack, "tenting" is eliminated.

Abstract: The negotiable document which may be used, e.g. by airlines includes a cover sheet provided with a hot spot carbon or other image transfer medium and at least one underlying sheet fully or partly coated with microcapsules of a dye intensifier and attractor. When information is imprinted on the cover sheet, the microcapsules of the dye intensifier in the underlying sheet are burst to wet the sheet and, thus, allow impregnation of the image transferred by the hot spot carbon into the fibers of the sheet. At the same time, the dye within the hot spot carbon is attracted into the sheet. The impregnation of the sheet is sufficient to prevent removal of the image from the underlying sheet without first destroying the sheet or mutilating it in such a manner that the defalcation effort is obvious.
