Patent number: 9776702Abstract: The system heats glycol water using steam generated by a boiler and heating LNG using the glycol water, thereby increasing efficiently the LNG to temperature required for an engine. In addition, the system senses LNG flowing to a glycol tank using a pressure sensor, etc. when the LNG flows to the glycol tank due to pressure difference between a fuel supplying line and a glycol circulation line generated according as a heat exchanger is broken down, and outputs the flowed LNG to the outside. As a result, the glycol circulation line may be returned to original state and stability of the system may be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Min Ho Kang, Ju Seog Han, Jong Bum Lee

Publication number: 20170240889Abstract: Disclosed are particles which are introduced into target cells and suppress the expression of specific genes, and a method of manufacturing such particles. More particularly, the present invention relates to DNA-RNA hybrid particles that comprise a DNA strand and an RNA strand that binds to the DNA strand through partial complementary base pairing, in which the DNA strand comprises an aptamer sequence that is able to bind to a target protein produced in a target cell, and the RNA strand comprises an siRNA sequence that binds to a target RNA in the target cell to suppress protein expression from the target RNA. Such hybrid particles are capable of effectively delivering an siRNA therapeutic agent into target cells for the treatment of disease, and have resistance against digestion by in vivo nucleases, DNase and RNase, owing to complementary binding formed between DNA and RNA strands. Also, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing such DNA-RNA hybrid particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF SEOUL INDUSTRY COOPERATION FOUNDATIONInventors: Jong-Bum LEE, Yong-Kuk PARK

Publication number: 20170216457Abstract: Disclosed are nanoparticles that are introduced into cells and express a specific protein and a manufacturing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to mRNA nanoparticles, which increase the expression of a specific protein capable of stimulating the cellular immune system to induce cellular immune responses and are thus applicable to treat a variety of diseases, do not require passage across the nuclear envelope because a desired gene is delivered not as plasmid DNA itself but in the form of mRNA, thus improving the efficiency of protein expression, and the nanoparticles are generated through a one-step process with a relatively small amount of plasmid DNA via rolling circle transcription (RCT), thereby providing a simple and economical process for gene delivery. The present invention is also concerned with such mRNA nanoparticles.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2015Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: Jong-Bum LEE, Hye-Jin KIM
