  • Patent number: 10927352
    Abstract: Use of a catalyst in a method of reducing a substrate, the method comprising contacting a substrate with a catalyst, optionally in the presence of a co-substrate, thereby to generate a reduced substrate. The catalyst is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% identity to SEQ ID NO: 7. In some methods, the substrate concentration is at least 50 mM.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2021
    Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited Company

  • Patent number: 10829743
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method that includes use of a catalyst in a method of reducing a substrate, the method including contacting a substrate with a catalyst, optionally in the presence of a co-substrate, thereby to generate a reduced substrate. The catalyst is a polypeptide including an amino acid sequence having at least 70% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 7 or SEQ ID NO: 9. In the method the substrate concentration is at least 50 mM.

  • Patent number: 10590642
    Abstract: A fastening rail for embedding into a concrete element has one rail back, two rail lips and two rail longitudinal sides disposed opposite one another. The rail lips delimit a slot between them. The fastening rail is realized in an anchorless manner and forms at least one undercut from the rail back in the direction of the outside of the rail lips. To improve anchoring in concrete, the rail back has profiling on its outside which is remote from the rail lips. The fastening rail is advantageously embedded into a concrete element such that the outside of the rail lips lies flush with the surface of the concrete element. A method for making a fastening rail includes producing a profiling in at least one central region of a top side of a metal plate and reshaping the metal plate to form the rail back, rail longitudinal sides and rail lips.

To improve anchoring in the concrete, the rail back has profiling on its outside which is remote from the rail lips. The fastening rail is advantageously embedded into a concrete element such that the outside of the rail lips lies flush with the surface of the concrete element. A method for making a fastening rail provides that a profiling is produced in at least top one center region a metal plate and the metal plate is re-shaped to form the rail back, rail longitudinal sides and rail lips.
