Abstract:
A dendritic compound comprises two dendrons, each comprising dendritically linked amino acid units, preferably lysine units, joined to a focal group. One of the dendrons includes terminal branches including anchor groups constituted by hydrophobic units and the second dendron has terminal branches which are linked or may be linked to active ligands or sugar moieties. Methods for synthesising the dendritic compounds using solid phase peptide synthetic techniques including lipidic amino acid reagents is described. The compounds serve as a basis for multiple antigenic peptides or drug delivery systems.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the actuation of an hydrodynamic retarder brake for motor vehicles, which is controlled by an electrohydraulic valve system. The rotational velocity of some part of the drive system (or an average of a plurality thereof) is indicated by a continuously generated electrical signal. When the throttle is released, or the brake pedal, having been depressed is then released, the vehicle velocity at that moment is stored as a reference signal in a memory. If the actual velocity thereafter exceeds the stored value, the hydrodynamic retarder is actuated. The momentary velocity of the vehicle is thereafter continuously compared with the stored reference velocity, and the retarder controlled accordingly. Rapidly applied retarder action is realized by controlling the same using PD control.

Abstract:
This invention provides a purification process for crude 1-nitroanthraquinone which comprises treating the crude 1-nitroanthraquinone with a base or a basic hydrolyzable salt, in the presence of a solvent and at an elevated temperature, and isolating the purified 1-nitroanthraquinone. The process particularly removes substantial proportions of dinitroanthraquinones and oxidation products.
