  • Cyclodecapeptide compounds for use as drugs
    Patent number: 9856294
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel cyclodecapeptide compounds having formula (I) for use as drugs and, more specifically, for use in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Wilson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and for use in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of poisoning with metal ions, such as copper and mercury ions. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound having formula (I) as an active principle.

  • Machine crank-shaft with improved dynamic balance ratio
    Patent number: 4002087
    Abstract: A balanced multiple-throw crank-shaft wherein the free forces of the first and second orders forming resultants for the whole crank-shaft of the forces produced by each coupling are substantially zero and at least some of the crank-throws are shifted or offset angularly, respectively, by such a small angle in one direction of rotation and by such an amount relative to the corresponding circumferentially uniformly distributed angular positions they would assume in a configuration with angularly equally spaced crank-throws in orthogonal projection on a plane perpendicular to the geometrical spin axis of rotation of said crank-shaft that an improved balancing ratio will result therefrom.
