Patent number: 10502244Abstract: An actuator control arrangement is provided comprising a pair of rotary control valves used in combination to control the operation of an actuator. The rotary control valves are driven synchronously through a hydraulic or mechanical coupling. Each rotary control valve has a by-pass mode which activates in the event of a jam. In addition each rotary control valve has a mechanism for activating the by-pass mode absent any jam. The actuator control arrangement further comprises a circuit coupling a pilot control and/or a flight control computer (FCC) to one or both of the mechanisms for remotely switching the rotary control valve(s) from an active mode to a by-pass mode under control of a pilot or FCC.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: GOODRICH ACTUATION SYSTEMS SASInventors: Arnauld Hervieux, Johann Martin-Meyer

Publication number: 20190231884Abstract: A synthetic pulmonary surfactant composition for use in the treatment of inflammatory or cell proliferation disorders of the lungs is provided. The composition comprises a lipidaceous carrier and a peptide complex of poly-L-lysine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-aspartic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the peptide complex having a charge-neutralised region and a positively-charged region. The synthetic pulmonary surfactant composition may be provided in an inhalable formulation. The synthetic pulmonary surfactant composition may also be combined with a drug for use in treating a lung infection, particularly a lung infection characterised by inflammation in the lungs so that the combination provides dual immunomodulatory effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2017Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Lyne VAN RENSBURG, Johann Martin VAN ZYL

Patent number: 10124015Abstract: The disclosure describes a composition comprising a lipidaceous carrier and a peptide complex formed from poly-L-lysine or a salt thereof; and either poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-aspartic acid, or a salt thereof. The composition can be used to prevent or treat a disease related to pulmonary surfactant dysfunction, such as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), hydrocarbon poisoning, near-drowning, HIV/AIDS-related lung diseases, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI), asthma, tuberculosis (TB) or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Alternatively, the composition can be used to increase the permeability of a pharmaceutical compound or composition across a membrane of a subject or to act as a carrier. The poly-L-lysine or salt thereof is longer than the poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-aspartic acid so that the complex that forms has a charge-neutralized region and a positively-charged region.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Stellenbosch UniversityInventors: Johann Martin Van Zyl, Johan Smith, Arthur Owen Hawtrey, Pieter Van Der Bijl
