Patent number: 10926202Abstract: A filter device has a filter element (1) received in a filter housing of at least two interconnectable housing parts (17, 19). The filter element (1) can be fixed to a housing part (19) in a removable manner by one screw connection (32, 33). An additional screw connection (17, 41) is provided for connecting the housing parts (17, 19). To transmit a torque between threaded elements (33) of the one screw connection (32, 33) and of the additional screw connection (41), the threaded elements are rotatable relative to each other. A coupling device (43, 46, 61) is added that allows an additional rotational movement of the threaded element (17) of the additional screw connection (41) when the threaded element (33) of the one screw connection (32, 33) reaches the fixed rotational state.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: HYDAC FILTERTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Patrick Maurer, Stefan Hennes, Michael Sakraschinsky

Publication number: 20150030620Abstract: The invention relates to the finding that virus like particles (VLPs) can be loaded with immunostimulatory substances, in particular with DNA oligonucleotides containing non-methylated C and G (CpGs). Such CpG-VLPs are dramatically more immunogenic than their CpG-free counterparts and induce enhanced B and T cell responses. The immune response against antigens optionally coupled, fused or attached otherwise to the VLPs is similarly enhanced as the immune response against the VLP itself. In addition, the T cell responses against both the VLPs and antigens are especially directed to the Th1 type. Antigens attached to CpG-loaded VLPs may therefore be ideal vaccines for prophylactic or therapeutic vaccination against allergies, tumors and other self-molecules and chronic viral diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: CYTOS BIOTECHNOLOGY AGInventors: MARTIN F. BACHMANN, Tazio STORNI, Patrick MAURER, Alain TISSOT, Katrin SCHWARZ, Edwin MEIJERINK, Gerd LlPOWSKY, Paul PUMPENS, Indulis CIELENS, Regina RENHOFA

Patent number: RE46080Abstract: A filtering apparatus includes a pot-type filter housing (10), a filter element (28) accommodated in the housing, a holding mechanism (38) disposed in the filter housing (10) to removably fix the filter element along its longitudinal axis, and a sealing device (60) that seals between a lid (20) of the filter housing (10) and the filter element (28). The holding mechanism (38) is provided with cooperating holding elements embodied on the interior face of the filter housing (10) as well as on the filter element (28). The filtering apparatus dispenses with the need for O-seals that are known in prior art and extend in a radial direction between the filter element and the filter head as a housing lid because the sealing device (60) encompasses at least one sealing edge (62) or sealing surface placed parallel to the longitudinal axis in a radial direction and seals under the effect of the pressure applied it by the holding mechanism (38).Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2013Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: HYDAC FILTERTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Patrick Maurer, Norbert Sann
