20090323703 | Method and System for Secure Communication Between a Public Network and a Local Network - A method for secure communication between a local area network and a wide area network includes integrating a NAT functionality in a firewall associated with the local area network, wherein the NAT functionality is suitable to translate the source port of outgoing data packets with a NAT port value obtained by adding to a NAT offset value the value of the session ED used in a session database. When reply data packets coming from the wide area network are received by the firewall, the session ID is extracted from the NAT port value and is used for directly pointing to the session database, thus reducing the time required to recognize the session. | 12-31-2009 |

20110218331 | Method of Preparation of DTPA Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Derivatives and Modification of Said Dervivatives - The invention relates to the modification of hyaluronic acid by means of a protonized DTPA bis anhydride in a non-basic polar aprotic solvent in absence of any external base to form crosslinked products. The reaction runs via the formation of a complex and the acylating agent is the hyaluronan co-cation itself, i.e. protonized DTPA bis anhydride. The final crosslinked derivative (linker) comprises three carboxylic groups and three tertiary amines which are capable of complexing various metals effectively. The final DTPA crosslinked hyaluronic acid may also be hydrophobized by means of mono, bis or tris functional alkylating agents. | 09-08-2011 |
20120095205 | Method of Modification of Hyaluronic Acid by Means of (O-ACYL-O'-ALKYL Carbonate-Substituted Pyridine) Complex - This invention relates to a novel method of preparation of hyaluronic acid derivatives by means of a reaction of the hyaluronic acid with the complex (O-acyl-O′-alkyl carbonate-substituted pyridine) of the general formula R—CO—O—CO—O—R1 and R25C5N. The reaction takes place in DMSO in the presence of an external base, forming O-acylated products. The method leads to higher substitution degrees and shorter reaction times compared to the known analogues, hi case the agent comprises two or more functional groups R(CO—O—CO—O—R1)n, crosslinked hyaluronic acid derivatives are formed. | 04-19-2012 |
