20110262419SPECIFICALLY TARGETED CATALYTIC ANTAGONISTS AND USES THEREOF - This invention provides chimeric molecules that are catalytic antagonists of a target molecule. The catalytic antagonists of this invention preferably comprise a targeting moiety attached to an enzyme that degrades the molecule specifically bound by the targeting moiety. The catalytic antagonists of this invention thus bind to a target recognized by the targeting moiety (e.g., a receptor) the enzyme component of the chimera then degrades all or part of the target. This typically results in a reduction or loss of activity of the target and release of the chimeric molecule. The chimeric molecule is then free to attack and degrade another target molecule.10-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090173826TRAPEZOIDAL PANEL PIN JOINT ALLOWING FREE DEFLECTION BETWEEN FUSELAGE AND WING - The invention is directed a trapezoidal panel pin joint for allowing deflection of an aircraft between a fuselage section and a wing section, wherein the pin joint comprises a vertical pin portion, a lug portion, and a clevis portion; wherein at least one vertical flexible tee member is positioned below the pin joint; and wherein the pin joint is coupled to at least two horizontal flexible tee members, such that the pin joint and vertical and horizontal flexible tee members, in combination, release two rotational degrees of freedom.07-09-2009
