  • Manufacturing line, process, and sintered article
    Patent number: 11953264
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.

  • Regulation of cellular invasiveness
    Patent number: 5744442
    Abstract: A method for decreasing metalloproteinase activity in a patient that comprises the step of administering to said patient a therapeutic composition comprising the cytokine oncostatin-M, or a biologically active fragment, mutant, analog or fusion construct thereof. Also, a method for increasing TIMP activity in a patient that comprises the step of administering to said patient a therapeutic composition comprising the cytokine oncostatin-M, or a biologically active fragment, mutant, analog or fusion construct thereof. In addition a method for inhibiting or treating progression of a tumor in a patient that comprises the step of administering to said patient a therapeutic composition comprising oncostatin-M, or a biologically active fragment, mutant, analog, or fusion construct thereof, said method being effective to inhibit invasion by a tumor cell through an extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane, interstitial tissue or connective tissue.
