Abstract:
A composition of a long-acting enzyme comprises the enzyme in a formulation comprising a buffer and an additive selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid, ε-aminocaproic acid, and analogs of L-lysine other than tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid, combinations thereof, and mixtures thereof. The composition can further comprise another additive selected from the group consisting of L-lysine, L-arginine, L-ornithine (or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts; e.g., L-ornithine hydrochloride), γ-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, glycylglycine, triglycine, N-α-acetyl-L-arginine, betaine, sarcosine, gelatin, HSA, streptokinase, tPA, uPA, non-ionic surfactants, glycerin, D-sorbitol, combinations thereof, and mixtures thereof. A method for prolonging the activity of an autodegradable enzyme comprises storing the enzyme after manufacture at a low pH, and reconstituting the acidified enzyme before use with a solution containing at least one of such additives. The method is useful to provide enzyme for wide use, which otherwise would lose activity upon long storage. In one embodiment the method is applicable to provide enzyme for inducing controlled posterior vitreous detachment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a steam ironing device (1) comprising a water supply device (4), a steam generator (6) for generating steam, heating means (13) for heating the steam generator, at least one atomizating device (10, 15), a valve (11) provided in a flow path (9) between the steam generator and the atomizing device, and an electric pump (5) for delivering water from said water supply device to said steam generator. To obtain wet steam at the atomizing device the ironing device comprises control means (7) for controlling the power of the heating means (13) of the steam generator, for controlling the flow rate of the pump, and for controlling the opening and closing of said valve, said valve being open if the ratio between the flow rate (g/min) of the pump and the power (W) of the heating means is in a range of 1:20 to 1:38.

Abstract:
An ophthalmic composition that includes an epithelium cell stabilizer component. The epithelium cell stabilizer component may be one or more of diglycine, triglycine, tetraglycine, pentaglycine. The invention is also directed to a method of treating or preventing dry eye comprising administering an effective amount of the ophthalmic composition to the eye.
Abstract:
An electric heating structure of a domestic appliance includes at least one first electric heating track (23) having a positive temperature coefficient and at least one additional electric heating track (27, 28). A control structure (22, 25, 29) is provided for controlling electric power supply to said first and additional heating tracks (23, 27, 28) and is sensitive to the heating of said at least one first heating track (23) for switching on said at least one additional electric heating track (27, 28) in parallel and in addition to said at least one first heating track (23) when said at least one first heating track (23) has been heated to at least a predetermined extent.
Abstract:
A liquid supply system and a nozzle construction for a jet weaving loom. The nozzle is supplied directly from a public water works at the normal pressure of said water works. The exact amount of water required to propel the weft yarn across the open harness shed of the loom is obtained by a solenoid valve series-connected to the water supply adjacent the nozzle and controlled by an electric pulsator which is adjustable to open the valve for the required time in accordance with the width of the weaving and the type of weft yarn. Synchronization of the operation of the nozzle with the harness motion is obtained by a switch controlling the pulsator and directly operated by a cam connected to a shaft of the main movement of the weaving loom. The nozzle structure comprises only two parts: namely, a bored body having a main cylindrical bore portion followed by a tapered frusto-conical bore portion, in turn followed by a cylindrical terminal outlet bore portion and a needle axially adjustable within the body bore, defining an annular space with the latter and having a slightly tapered terminal end fitted within the outlet bore portion of the body. The needle has an axial passage for the yarn. The water is admitted laterally within the body directly into the annular space. The nozzle is able to propel the yarn at a considerable distance with a minimum quantity of liquid and at a low liquid pressure. There is minimum deviation and dispersion of the liquid jet across the harness shed.
