Abstract

The present invention relates to a semi-automatic method of searching for masonry work images, comprising the following steps : - searching within one or more collections of digital images relating to masonry architectures based upon graphic pattern features that act upon the layout of the images, using parameters that may also be managed from the user side; - associating digital extensions, or contents, with collections of digital images relating to masonry architectures; - interactive user experience of masonry architectures in real time : by using the features of an application downloaded to a smartphone/ tablet, the user performs a scan in the presence of the masonry; if there is a corresponding image within the collection connected to the application, and the image has been enriched using digital extensions, the user may interact in real time and in the presence of the image on the smartphone/ tablet thereof and make use of those digital extensions that provide relevant information.

Abstract

A process for the preparation of carbonyl compounds starting from olefins is described, comprising the oxidative scission reaction of one or more carbon- carbon double bonds, where electron-poor double bonds and terminal bonds which do not have neighbouring functional groups capable of donate electronic density are excluded, wherein such reaction is carried out by means of an advanced oxidation process, in the presence of at least one nitrogen-containing additive and at least one advanced oxidation agent, the advanced oxidation process being a chemical treatment which in a reaction produces oxidation of chemical compounds through the generation of active radical species.

Abstract

A distinctly anti-vibration handle grip, in particular for motorcycles, allows a significant reduction in the transmitted vibrations, eased by a better adaptation of the handle grip to the anthropometric features of the driver's hand, and comprises: an internal cylinder (4), which is fitted on the receiving stem; and an external casing (5), enclosing said internal cylinder ((44)) from a proximal end (2) to a distal end (3) of the anti- vibration handle grip (1), and which is connected to said internal cylinder (4) by means of a sequence of circumferential junctions (6), forming a corresponding sequence of grooves (7) on the external surface of the external casing (5) and respective inner tubes (8), formed by the empty space between external casing (5) and internal cylinder (4), between each one of said grooves (7), wherein the distances between the adjacent grooves depend upon the anthropometric measurements of the user's hand.

Object of the present invention is a method and the related production technology for the manufacturing of multifunctional suture threads with antimicrobial and/or antibiotic and/or cicatrizing properties that can be modulated as a function of the manufacturing conditions. The threads can display single properties or multiple properties among those described above. In particular, it was build up a technology that consider the melt incorporation of an antimicrobial and/or antibiotic and/or cicatrizing agent during the preparation of the suture threads. The spinning process is inline with the extrusion and by modulating the amount of agent, the drawing conditions (isothermal and non-isothermal), it is possible to regulate the final diameter, the mechanical resistance and the release of the necessary amount of agent over the space (i.e. locally in the proximity of the filament) and over the time (i.e. regulating the duration of the antimicrobial and/or antibiotic and/or cicatrizing activity) according to a precise linear function.

Abstract

The wind turbine has a central axis that supports pairs of blades offset by 90°, each pair is integral with a single supporting shaft able to rotate relative to the central axis of the turbine owing to coupling by means of bearings. The pairs of blades are orientated automatically in order to present the maximum possible surface area of the blades to the wind when they move in the direction of the wind, at the same time minimizing the surface area of the blades when they move against the wind. The large surface exposed to the action of the wind is not opposed by a braking action due to the blades moving against the wind, which produces a very high torque on the central axis. The turbine operates with the wind blowing from any direction and is able to start moving even in the presence of very light winds.

The invention describes a four-step differentiation protocol which efficiently directs LSCs, in particular a fibroblast-like LSC population characterized by the expression of several pluripotent stem cell markers and exhibiting self-renewal ability, towards the endocrine cell fate, eventually leading to production of pancreatic hormone-expressing cells. In addition, LSC-derived insulin-producing cells obtained according to the invention are fully functional as demonstrated by the ability to secrete C-peptide in response to glucose and other stimuli, similar to beta cells. Thus they possess distinctive features which make them optimal candidates for potential therapeutic application in diabetes.

Abstract

The present invention concerns the synthesis of new analogs of angelicins, pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinoline, for the treatment of pathologies having hyperproliferative character included those having neoplastic nature. The treatment is based on the combined action of pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinolines and UV-A light, through a clinical approach defined as PUVA (psoralen+UVA light). The most important feature of these compounds is that they exert their remarkable phototoxicity without any DNA damage, which is the main origin of the side effects of the PUVA therapy.
