| 20120019760 | METHOD OF PREPARATION OF SURFACE COATING OF VARIABLE TRANSMITTANCE AND ELECTRO-OPTICAL APPLIANCE INCLUDING THE SAME - Method of preparation of surface coating of variable transmittance and an electro-optical layered appliance including the same comprises dispersing of liquid crystal microdroplets in hydrolyzable and polymerizable precursors and applying obtained mixture on a surface by spraying. Applying the material to the surface by spraying is intrinsically related to the synthesis processes because the properties of the surrounding environment (i.e. content of water and acidity, UV radiation) and the chemical reactions that take place during spraying have considerable influence on the properties (i.e. driving voltage, thickness of obtained layer). Obtained layered appliance comprises of a matrix material with dispersed microdroplets of liquid crystal obtained by the described method, electrically conductive transparent electrodes with contacts, a dielectric material, substrate and covering layers. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110318271 | Arginase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Depression - The subjects of the current invention are compounds, which exhibit arginase inhibiting activity (including difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and L-norvaline, but not limited to them), and which can be used as therapeutically active agents for the treatment and prevention of depression and/or depression-related conditions. Other subjects of the present invention are the use of said arginase inhibiting compounds as therapeutically active agents for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for human and veterinary application, pharmaceutical composition comprising said arginase inhibiting compound and a method for treatment and prevention of depression and/or depression-related conditions. Also, a method for identifying compounds suitable for use as therapeutically active agents for treatment and/or prevention of depression and/or depression-related conditions is disclosed. The invention further comprises a kit for selecting compounds for treatment and/or prevention of depression and/or depression-related conditions. | 12-29-2011 |
