摘要:
The present invention relates to extracellular matrix proteins of Moraxella catarrhalis and their ability to interact with epithelial cells via cellassociated fibronectin and laminin, and also to their ability to inhibit the complement system. These extracellular proteins are useful in the preparation of vaccines. The present invention provides peptides interacting with the fibronectin, laminin and complement system.

A device for teeing a golf ball includes a ball support member that has at least two opposed feet and that defines at least one ball locating formation for supporting a golf ball interposed between the feet. The, or each, ball locating formation is in a plane that is spaced from a plane in which the feet are positioned. The ball support member is of a resiliently flexible material to permit the, or each, ball locating formation to deflect, against a bias of the ball support member, towards the plane of the feet when either or both of the ball support member and the ball are struck with a golf club head.

The present invention relates to a process for integrated production of ethanol and seaweed biofertilizer from fresh red seaweed, Kappaphycus alvarezii . Specifically, the present invention describes a process for the production of ethanol, as a byproduct, from Kappaphycus alvarezii . The process includes crushing the fresh weeds to release the sap, a proved biofertilizer, and recovering the residual carrageenan rich biomass, hydrolysing the biomass using dilute acid at elevated temperature, neutralizing the hydrolysate by using inexpensive calcium hydroxide and removing the insoluble salts through filtration or centrifugation, desalting soluble salts from the hydrolysate by electrodialysis, enriching with nitrogen source, inoculating with yeast and fermenting it to form a fermented broth containing ethanol and separating ethanol from the fermented broth by distillation and using residual hydrolysate, generated CaSO 4 and reject obtained from electrodialysis as manure.

The present invention provides a method of making rare earth (RE) doped optical fiber using BaO as co-dopant instead of Al or P commonly used for incorporation of the RE in silica glass by MCVD and solution doping technique. The method comprises deposition of particulate layer of GeO 2 doped SiO 2 with or without small P 2 O 5 for formation of the core and solution doping by soaking the porous soot layer into an aqueous solution of RE and Ba containing salt. This is followed by dehydration and sintering of the soaked deposit, collapsing at a high temperature to produce the preform and drawing of fibers of appropriate dimension. The use of Ba-oxide enables to eliminate unwanted core-clad interface defect which is common in case of Al doped fibers. The fibers also show good RE uniformity, relatively low optical loss in the 0.6-1.6 μm wavelength region and good optical properties suitable for their application in amplifiers, fiber lasers and sensor devices.

A portable device accessory is used to hold, grip or manipulate a portable device such as and not limited to mobile phones, MP3 players, portable entertainment/computing devices, and/or gaming devices. The accessory possesses two suctions cups connected by a neck and having an aperture for receiving a jack on earphone. Certain embodiments of the accessory will have tabs, ridges, groove and/or a space to receive earphones. The accessory permits a jack of earphones to be threaded through an aperture and the cord of the earphones to be wrapped around the accessory. The suction cups may be inverted to conceal the cord wrapped around a neck of the accessory and tabs may be used to hold inverted suction cups together.
