  • Patent number: 11919089
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for splitting an electrically conductive liquid, in particular a melt jet, comprising the steps providing the electrically conductive liquid which moves in a first direction (12) in the form of a liquid jet (10); and generating high-frequency travelling electromagnetic fields surrounding the liquid jet (10) which travel in the first direction (12) and accelerate the liquid jet (10) in the first direction (12), thereby atomizing the liquid jet (10).

  • Patent number: 11331371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel labyrinthopeptin derivatives. These labyrinthopeptin derivatives are useful for the treatment of infectious diseases, such as an infectious disease caused by an infection with human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), cytomegalovirus (CMV/HCMV), dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV; FSME virus), vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus (VSV), zika virus (ZIKV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Said labyrinthopeptin derivatives are also useful for analyzing the mode of action of labyrinthopeptins. Also encompassed by the present invention are labyrinthopeptins for use in treating an infectious disease, in particular an infectious disease caused by an infection with any one of the viruses selected from RSV, KSHV, CMV, CHIKV, TBEV, VSV, ZIKV and HCV. The invention further relates to a combination of labyrinthopeptin A1 and A2 for use as a medicament, e.g.
