Patent number: 11787837Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel acylating agent, a method for its preparation, and a method of using it for acylating one or more amino groups of an amino acid, a peptide, or a protein. The novel acylating agent may be a compound which comprises a structural element —HN—(CH2)2-(O—((CH2)2)k-O—(CH2)n-CO—, wherein k is an integer in the range of 1-10, and n is an integer in the range of 1-2, being esterified at its —CO-end to the hydroxy group of 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzenesulfonic acid (3,5-DC-2-HBSA). This novel acylating agent has an improved stability. Using this agent the acylation process is improved as regards robustness, as well as improving yield and overall production economy. The novel acylating agent is useful for acylating pharmaceutical peptides and proteins such as GLP-1, insulin, pYY, and amylin. The invention also relates to a number of novel GLP-1 precursor peptides and derivatives in which the two N-terminal amino acids have been deleted.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Kim Birkebaek Jensen, Magnus Bernt Fredrik Gustafsson

Patent number: 10969401Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the estimation of a velocity of a first object using accelerometer signals, indicating an acceleration of the first object and/or a second object coupled to a first object. To this end, a characteristic frequency in the accelerometer signal spectrum may be determined, preferably by applying a parametric model or by performing a spectrum analysis, and used as a basis to estimate the velocity of the first object based on the determined characteristic frequency. The characteristic frequency may be determined by identifying the frequency having the maximum spectral amplitude or by identifying the fundamental frequency or a particular harmonic in the spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: NIRA DYNAMICS ABInventors: Rickard Karlsson, Fredrik Gustafsson

Patent number: 10429185Abstract: A method and system are provided for determining a heading angle of a user of a portable electronic device in an indoor environment. In an embodiment, the device collects rotational movement information indicative of rotational movement of the device and determines a first heading angle of the device. The first heading angle is determined by using the downward direction of the device to determine the vertical angular rate in the horizontal plane, and integrating the vertical angular rate to form the first heading angle. The device collects first direction information from a first direction sensor and second direction information from a second direction sensor and uses it determine which of the first and second direction information is an outlier, e.g., inaccurate due to an occurrence of a disturbance. The device then corrects the heading angle by comparing the heading angle to the first and second direction information.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: SENIONLAB ABInventors: David Tornqvist, Fredrik Gustafsson, Per Skoglar
