Abstract: A method and an apparatus for roofing a structure or the like by erection of at least one frame and instal­lation of a tent cloth (41) therealong. The frame comprises various elements forming, in the erected position of the frame, roof (2) and wall elements. The roof elements adjoin each other along a ridge line (11) and the wall elements adjoin the roof elements along roof edge lines (11). The method and apparatus are characterized in that the frame consists of two frame halves hinged together in a flat starting position and lifted from that position by at least two points. The roof elements are lifted first on the side of the ridge line (11) until the roof elements are at a given angle to each other, in which position there is provided between the roof elements a tie member which, in the loaded condition, defines an angle between the roof elements. After this, the frame is hoisted further, whereby the wall elements swivel outwardly until these have reached a substantially vertical position, in which they are fixed relatively to the roof elements (2).

Abstract: An adsorbent is used to recover methanol in unreacted C₄'s from the MTBE process. methanol is desorbed from the mixture in a closed loop regeneration system utilizing a circulating vapor at an elevated temperature. Gas from the adsorber is cooled to condense methanol which may be recycled to the MTBE reaction. Unreacted C₄'s substantially free from methanol may be used in HF or sulfuric acid alkylation.

Abstract: An encapsulated-lens retroreflective sheeting comprising a monolayer of lenses (22) partially embedded in a binder layer (26), a specularly reflective layer (24) underlying the lenses, and a cover film (28) sealed to the binder layer along a network of interconnecting lines (36) forming hermetically sealed cells within which the lenses are encapsulated and have an air interface, wherein the cover film comprises polyethylene, or polypropylene, or a copolymer comprising a major portion by weight of at least one of ethylene or propylene and a minor portion by weight of a comonomer. Such a cover film affords high flexibility, improved impact resistance, resistance to moisture absorption, and greater toughness to the retroreflective sheeting. In some embodiments the cover film is multi-layer.

Abstract: A family of cDNA sequences derived from hepatitis C virus (HCV) are provided. These sequences encode antigens which react immunologically with antibod­ies present in individuals with non-A non-B hepatitis (NANBH), but which generally are absent from individuals infected with hepatitis A virus (HAV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV), and also are absent from control individuals. A comparison of these cDNA sequences with the sequences in Genebank, and with the sequences of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and HBV shows a lack of substantial homology. A comparison of the sequences of amino acids encoded in the cDNA with the sequences of Flaviviruses indicates that HCV is a Flavivirus or Flavi-like virus. 
     The HCV cDNA sequences are useful for the design of polynucleotide probes, and for the synthesis of polypeptides which may be used in immunoassays. Both the polynucleotide probes and the polypeptides may be useful for the diagnosis of HCV-induced NANBH, and for screening blood bank specimens and donors for HCV infection. In addition, these cDNA sequences may be useful for the synthesis of immunogenic polypeptides which may be used in vaccines for the treatment, prophylactic and/or therapeutic, of HCV infection. Polypeptides encoded within the cDNA sequences may also be used to raise anti­bodies against HCV antigens, and for the purification of antibodies directed against HCV antigens. These antibodies may be useful in immunoassays for detecting HCV antigens associated with NANBH in individuals, and in blood bank donations. Moreover, these antibodies may be used for treatment of NANBH in individuals. 
     The reagents provided in the invention also en­able the isolation of NANBH agent(s), and the propagation of these agent(s) in tissue culture systems. Moreover,   they provide reagents which are useful for screening for antiviral agents for HCV, particularly in tissue culture or animal model systems.

Abstract: The fibre (18) issuing from a reel (12) passes into an untwisting system (26) and then into a degreasing oven (24) and enters a tank (30) containing a liquid (32), before being wound onto a receiver reel (38). A pump (50) makes it possible to suck up the liquid contained in the tank and to deliver it by means of a nozzle (48) onto the fibre at a point located within the tank. The pressure exerted by the liquid discharged in this way causes the separation of the filaments (58) forming the fibre (18), and the fibre wound onto the reel (38) is one which has been spread correctly. The invention is used for the spreading of fragile fibres. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Sheet conveyer intended to take charge of and convey part sheets (2′, 2˝, 2‴) obtained from a main sheet by divid­ing this into a predetermined number of parts and dilivering it out of a cutter simultaneously and side by side. The con­veyer is characterized by a device comprising a number of downward gradient planes (4, 5, 6) in the intended conveying direction (A) of the part sheets and corresponding to the num­ber of said part sheets. Each thereof has a length as seen in the conveying direction corresponding to the length of the respective part sheet. Adjacent planes are connected with one another by means of an intermediate portion (7, 8) substan­tially shorter as seen in the conveying direction than the respective plane (4, 5, 6), the connection of said interme­diate portion (7, 8) to the preceding plane as seen in the conveying direction being rounded off (9, 10). Furthermore, carrier means (12) are arranged so that when the planes have received each their part sheet (2′, 2˝, 2‴) the carrier means will push the last part sheet (2′) as seen in the conveying direction from its plane (4) to a position on top of the last part sheet (2˝) but one and will thereafter push the part sheets lying on one another to a position on top of the fol­lowing part sheet (2‴) as seen in the conveying direction (A) etc. until all part sheets are on top of one another after which the carrier means (12) move the pile of part sheets for further treatment.

Abstract: Le dispositif décrit requiert des logements de broches d'enroulement (13/14) et des fixations de broches d'enroulement (9/10) qui renferment toutes les vis de réglage nécessaires au réglage initial ainsi qu'aux réglages ultérieurs. Si tel est le cas, un préréglage peut être effectué dans un dispositif de réglage approprié, et des réglages fins peuvent également être effectués ultérieurement dans la machine elle-même. Sans cette possibilité de réglages fins, le système ne pourrait pas marcher car les différentes duretés des fils métalliques usuels du ressort le rendraient impraticable. Les broches d'enroulement (16) doivent être capables de tourner avec leurs logements (13/14) et de coulisser dans le sens longitudinal, et ces unités doivent à leur tour pouvoir, au moyen de la fixation de broches d'enroulement (9/10), pivoter et faire varier leur hauteur par rapport au coulisseau de réglage. Le dispositif de pré-réglage mesure les variations angulaires sur un axe de mesure (41) et les affiche sur un dispositif de mesurage d'angle (45). Un comparateur à cadran (55) est prévu pour les réglages dans le sens axial. Le réglage effectué dans le dispositif de réglage peut être transféré à la machine sans altérations. Cette reproductibilité simplifie et accélère non seulement le réglage de base mais permet également un processus de remplacement par diverses fixations.

Abstract: Composition de minoxydile aqueuse, non cristalline, pour usage spécifique. La composition contient du minoxydile complexé avec un composé amphipathique dont le pK est inférieur à 5 environ et contenant une partie constituée d'une chaîne lipophile unique et une partie polaire constituée d'un sulfate, d'un sulfonate, d'un phosphate et d'un phosphanate. La composition peut être formulée sous forme de pommade, dans un véhicule aqueux, ou dispersée dans un solvant chlorure de carbone fluoré, en vue d'une application par pulvérisation à l'aide d'une pulvérisation à auto-propulsion. Le monoxydile de la composition se maintient sous forme non cristalline pendant une période d'au moins plusieurs heures après application sur la peau, ce qui permet de résoudre le problème que posait antérieurement la tendance minoxydile à reprendre une forme cristalline insoluble, lorsque les compositions connues sont appliquées sur la peau.
