Patent number: 9365629Abstract: The invention relates to collections of target-specific designed binding proteins based on armadillo repeat proteins, and to a method of generating them. Designed armadillo repeat proteins are based on consensus sequences of single armadillo repeat units. These repeat proteins can be used as scaffolds for peptide recognition. Such a scaffold provides a binding mode that is in principle the same for every small recognizable unit, e.g. an amino acid or dipeptide, allowing a precise and modular recognition of a peptide in extended conformation. The method allows to generate a series of modules recognizing these simple units, and to combine such building blocks to create a binding site for any desired peptide target without performing additional selections.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2008Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: University of ZurichInventors: Fabio Parmeggiani, Riccardo Pellarin, Anders Peter Larsen, Gautham Varadamsetty, Michael Tobias Stumpp, Andreas Plückthun

Patent number: 9091022Abstract: A process and apparatus for the preparation of a modified lignocellulosic material by treating the lignocellulosic material in a first activator zone having an atmosphere of one or more acid anhydrides in vapour form in a gas at a gauge pressure of 0-50 kPag and a temperature of 100-160° C., and then treating the lignocellulosic material in a second reactor zone having an atmosphere of a gas at a gauge pressure of 0-50 kPag and a temperature of 120-190° C., thereafter stripping the lignocellulosic material with steam or water in a stripper zone, and optionally further processing. The process is more efficient as compared with the prior art processes by providing a better access of the acid anhydrides to the sites of the reactive lignocellulosic hydroxyl groups (—OH), which are located on the internal surfaces of pores and capillary channels in the lignocellulose. Furthermore, the apparatus is relatively simple.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Danish Plant Fibre Technologies Holding A/SInventors: Per Berre Eriksen, Peter Larsen, Eskild Kyhn

Publication number: 20070269701Abstract: SOFC cell comprising a metallic support 1 ending in a substantially pure electron conducting oxide, an active anode layer 2 consisting of doped ceria, ScYSZ, Ni—Fe alloy, an electrolyte layer 3 consisting of co-doped zirconia based on oxygen ionic conductor, an active cathode layer 5 and a layer of a mixture of LSM and a ferrite as a transition layer 6 to a cathode current collector 7 of single phase LSM. The use of a metallic support instead of a Ni—YSZ anode support increases the mechanical strength of the support and secures redox stability of the support. The porous ferrite stainless steel ends in a pure electron conducting oxide so as to prevent reactivity between the metals in the active anode which tends to dissolve into the ferrite stainless steel causing a detrimental phase shift from ferrite to austenite structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2005Publication date: November 22, 2007Applicant: RISOE NATIONAL LABORATORYInventors: Peter Larsen, Mogens Mogensen, Soren Linderoth, Kent Hansen, Weiguo Wang

Publication number: 20070192363Abstract: An aspect-oriented document that controls both the granularity of functionality and content integration. As such, embodiments of the innovation enable programmatic interoperability prompted via the content of a document. The document-centric environment can utilize an aspect-oriented document component that controls/dictates appropriate expert applications based at least in part upon content of the data. These aspect-oriented documents shift the focus from the application to the data. As such, in this novel environment, many applications can operate on the same data file, each doing its piece. A novel feature of the innovation is a collaboration model where fragments of project information are each maintained with expert applications or applets and can expose data to each other to tie different dimensions together.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2005Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Peter Larsen
