  • Patent number: 7666629
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for producing recombinant trypsin from porcine pancreas in Pichia pastoris which is soluble and secreted into the culture medium, whereby expression at pH 3.0-4.0 substantially prevents activation of trypsinogen to ?-trypsin and autolysis of ?-trypsin by ?-trypsin into ?-trypsin and from there into inactive peptides.

  • Publication number: 20090050741
    Abstract: When a fire breaks out, air flows that promote the spread of fire may occur in the region between the load bay and the skin of the aircraft. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fire barrier is disclosed that allows rapid decompression of the passenger cabin in the normal operating mode of the aircraft and prevents flashovers in case of a fire. In this case, the fire barrier may be arranged at different positions in the intermediate wall space of the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20090026787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle. The insulation structure will contribute to ensuring the fire protection for interior regions of the vehicle from a (conceivable) fire incursion from outside the vehicle environment, so that evacuation of the passengers from the vehicle is made significantly easier. Intended modifications to a typical insulation package will implement an elevation of the fire protection safety for separated interior regions lying proximal to a structure external skin. The insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle comprises an insulation package, which is implemented using an insulation, and a film, which is positioned inside an intermediate space that includes internal paneling and an external skin of the vehicle. The insulation package is implemented homogeneously using a first insulation, whose insulation material is burn-through safe.

  • Publication number: 20080308676
    Abstract: The present invention provides an aircraft fuselage which comprises a bulletproof layer in at least partial areas, an aircraft fuselage being understood as both a primary fuselage structure of an aircraft, i.e., sheeting and associated frames and stringers, aircraft fuselage insulation, and also cabin internal paneling, which encloses a pressurized cabin on the outside toward the primary fuselage structure. In this way, it may be possible to ensure bulletproof security of the aircraft fuselage and thus prevent danger to passengers and/or flight-relevant systems of the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20070023572
    Abstract: The fuselage according to an exemplary embodiment is conceived in such a way as to prevent the spread of flames produced by a source of fire and acting on the fuselage from outside the aircraft environment. The fuselage concept takes into account materials or material combinations that will scarcely allow protection of the cabin area of an aircraft (upon emergency landing) to be violated by flames spreading from outside the aircraft environment, which may facilitate an evacuation of passengers from the aircraft. An aircraft fuselage, whose fuselage structure, in addition to other structural elements that are components of the mechanical strength bracing of the fuselage and help absorb its forces, encompasses an exterior skin consisting of various respective materials, which are designed to be resistant to shear, and incorporated as a bearing element into the mechanical strength bracing to absorb and transfer the forces and torques acting thereupon.

  • Publication number: 20070018042
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle. The insulation structure is improved in such a way that using it a fire incursion of the flames of a source of fire acting from outside the vehicle environment into the vehicle interior is excluded as much as possible, an increase of the fire protection safety for separate interior regions lying proximal to a structure external skin being implemented by the type of the film insulation of the insulation package. The insulation structure comprises an insulation package (3), in which an insulation core (1) is embedded, and a film (11). The insulation package (3) is positioned inside an intermediate space which encloses internal paneling and an external skin. It is completely enclosed by the film (11). The film (11) is implemented using a burn-through safe film material, which is an obstruction to a flaming fire, to which a film surface region of this film is subjected during an occurring fire catastrophe.

  • Publication number: 20070003733
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for lining the interior of a passenger vehicle such as an airplane including a honeycomb formation of several honeycombs arranged side by side. At its end, the honeycomb body is supported by a cover layer supported above and below the honeycomb formation such that by means of two cover layers glued onto the honeycomb formation, a layer design of the honeycomb panelling is created, which layer design is arranged so as to extend parallel to the outer skin of the aircraft and follow the curvature of the outer skin. The honeycomb formation used is made of paper- or aramide honeycombs or of a mixed combination of both honeycomb types; on whose cross section of the honeycomb body a CFK cover layer is positioned to both ends of the honeycomb bodies. As an alternative, further CFK insulation layers are glued onto the outer surface of the respective cover layer supported above and below the honeycomb formation, which cover layers comprise a CFK or GFK.

  • Publication number: 20060284014
    Abstract: The design and attachment of an insulation package according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be installed near the fuselage structure, is believed protect the cabin region of an aircraft against fire whose flames act on the insulation package from outside the aircraft environment, thus clearly facilitating evacuation of the passengers from the vehicle. The insulation package arrangement may comprise several fuselage insulation packages of an elongated form. These packages may adjoin the aircraft fuselage structure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. They may longitudinally adjoin a support surface of the stringers which are attached to the aircraft fuselage, or longitudinally adjoin an inner area of a panel of outer skin and are attached to both longitudinal sides of the ribs. Furthermore, those insulation packages may be completely enclosed by a burn-through-proof foil which is arranged in a space enclosed by interior paneling and by the panels of the outer skin.
