摘要:
A system for delivering molecular iodine or other substance into a pet's drinking water on a daily basis without exceeding the safe amount allowed for the pet. The system delivers a particular amount of molecular iodine into the pet water supply to achieve maximum benefit of I2 to reduce or eliminate bad pet breath and minimize total iodine in the pet diet so that 20-40 μg/mL/Kg/day iodine is consumed for optimum thyroid health. The preferred method is to use a solution created by dissolving iodine crystals in absolute ethanol. The iodine will only be in solution as I2 for a short time as it undergoes out gassing and hydrolysis at neutral pH. The present invention removes the iodine from the drinking water after the pet drinks. Therefore, during the day, pets will get no additional iodine—only fresh water. Each enrolled pet is electronically recognized by the system.

The present invention relates generally to an enzymatically generated iodine microbiocide and more specifically to the use of such a microbiocide for the inactivation of pathogenic organisms that are contaminants in sensitive biological materials. The biocidal agent from the enzymatic reaction is free molecular iodine generated so as to (1) establish a minimum level above 10 ppm of free molecular iodine and (2) to establish defined ratios of free molecular iodine to other iodine species such that free molecular iodine comprises at least 10% of the total iodine species present on a molar basis.

The invention involves an apparatus for recovering the carrier signal in OPSK or QAM data. First an energy directed phase detector controls a voltage controlled oscillator so that the output signal has a phase that is within a few degrees of the carrier phase. Following this coarse acquisition, the system clock timing is recovered and established. A decision directed phase detector, using the system clock information, then controls the VCO to adjust the output signal phase to within a very small tolerance of the actual carrier phase.

A method for detecting a first member of a specific binding pair in a sample, the first member being capable of forming a complex with a second member of the specific binding pair, includes immobilizing the second member on a surface of a piezoelectric oscillator, determining a first vibrational frequency of the oscillator on which the second member has been immobilized, contacting the surface of the oscillator on which the second member has been immobilized with the sample under conditions permitting formation of the complex, and with a particle under conditions permitting binding of the particle with the first member, mass coupling the bound particle with the oscillator, and determining a second vibrational frequency of the oscillator with which the particle has been mass coupled, the difference between the first vibrational frequency and the second vibrational frequency providing a measure of the quantity of the first member in the sample.
摘要:
The removal of the glycosidic phosphate from the reducing end of the derived LPS molecule creates an aldehydo functionality which causes the formation of an immunologically dominant neo-epitope. Conjugation to the reducing end of a carbohydrate molecule following removal of the glycosidic phosphate traps the reducing glucosamine residue in an open-chain form which surprisingly was found to dominate the immune response. We therefore modified our conjugation strategy to avoid this open-chain form, by utilising the amino functionality created by the isolated amidase activity from Dictyostelium discoideum, concomitant with a unique blocking and un-blocking strategy to protect the immunologically important phosphoethanolamine inner core residue. These antigenic structures are useful in producing vaccines and compounds helpful in combating Gram-negative bacteria. Also described are specific structures of the carbohydrate molecules derived from a variety of Gram-negative bacteria, which when presented appropriately as a glycoconjugate will facilitate a functional immune response to the target core oligosaccharide region.

Disclosed are specific structures of the carbohydrate molecules derived from genetically engineered strains of Moraxella catarrhalis, which when presented appropriately to the immune system will facilitate a functional immune response to the target core oligosaccharide region.

Embodiments of the present invention feature devices and methods for administering medicaments to subjects and, in particular, molecular iodine to animals in drinking water for the treatment of oral bad breath and disease. An exemplary device comprises a source of medicament in a fluid, measuring means, an administration switch and a water reservoir means. The measuring means is in fluid communication with said source of medicament for measuring an aliquot of medicament corresponding to a dose for the treatment of a disease. The measuring means is also in communication with a water reservoir means and releases the aliquot into the water reservoir means upon signal activation. The administration switch means is in signal communication with the measuring means and upon activation by a subject produces an activation signal received by the measuring means. The water reservoir means is for receiving the aliquot and forming an aqueous solution of medicament.
