Abstract: Novel unsaturated peroxyketals useful as molecular weight regulators in polymerization reactions are disclosed. Also disclosed are a polymerization process employing these novel unsaturated peroxyketals as molecular weight regulators, polymers and oligomers made by this process and articles of manufacture comprising one or more polymers or oligomers made by this process. These molecular weight regulating peroxyketals provide the ability to introduce an epoxy functionality to the oligomer or polymer as well as an additional functionality, in a manner which gives a higher monomer conversion and less by-products than with comparable chain transfer regulators.

Abstract: A method for grafting a cell in the brain of a mammalian subject is accomplished by attaching the cell to a support matrix so that the cell attaches to the matrix outer surface, and implanting the support matrix with the attached cell into the brain. Preferred support matrices are glass or plastic microbeads having a diameter from about 90 to about 125  mu m. The method employs cells of different types, preferably cells of neural or paraneural origin, such as adrenal chromaffin cells. Also useful are cell lines grown in vitro. Cells not of neural or paraneural origin, such as fibroblasts, may also be used following genetic alteration to express a desired neural product such as a neurotransmitter or a neuronal growth factor. The method is used to treat neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury.

Abstract: In a cuvette (K) for the duplication of dental models (ST), in order to compensate for the so-called expansion-on-setting of the refractory casting composition, it is provided that a foil insert (F), whose thickness (S) corresponds to the magnitude of the expansion-on-setting of the particular embedding composition, be located in the region of the separating plane (T) of the two mould halves (1 and 2) and that the model to be duplicated (e.g. a dental stump "ST") be pushed through this foil insert (F) in a lying position over about half of its longitudinal extent (L) and preferably in the region of the cuvette mid-axis (M) and that this position be retained. After removal of the foil (F), the cuvette (K) can thus close further by the value of the expansion-on-setting and thus compensate for the latter.

Abstract: Device for regulating the rotation speed of an electrical machine, means being provided for torque limiting. The torque limiting (B1) in the pilot-control loop (V1, B1, I1) of a regulated rotation-speed electrical machine (ST) is shifted by the integral component (Mi) of the regulator output signal. Pilot control at virtually the optimum time is thus matched to the direction-dependent control reserve of the drive system which is still available in each load state. Quick regulation, without any overshoots, is thus possible, during which the machine (ST) is not overloaded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for the thermal pretreatment of wood blanks (12) is disclosed, the wood blanks (12) being arranged in radial pockets (10) of a drum (1) which is filled with a heat-treatment medium. Here, an inner drum (8) is rotatably mounted in a fixed outer casing (2). The radial pockets (10) are formed on the outer periphery of the inner drum (8). Two solutions are proposed in which the blanks are now arranged in their longitudinal extent parallel to the axis of rotation of the inner drum and then in the radial direction of the inner drum. An apparatus of this type is distinguished by a small space requirement, where the heat losses can be substantially reduced compared with conventional apparatuses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of gas-assisted injection molding in which: 1) a first amount of plastic is injected into an article-defining cavity of a mold so that it flows therein; 2) a second amount of plastic continues to be injected into the cavity simultaneous with the injection of a charge of pressurized gas wherein the pressurized gas prevents the flow of plastic in the cavity from stopping; and 3) the charge of pressurized gas continues to be injected after the second amount of plastic is injected to distribute the total amount of molten plastic resin in the cavity. The ratio for the first amount of plastic to the total amount of plastic required for the preparation of the article is in the range of .2 to .7. Also, the pressurized gas has a pressure between approximately 1000 psi and 5000 psi. These steps prevent imperfections on the exterior surface of the plastic article. The gas charge is maintained under pressure within the article until the article has set up in the article-defining cavity. Finally, the gas pressure is relieved in the article and the finished article is removed from the mold. The method is particularly useful in molding articles having a relative large cross-section.

Abstract: The invention relates to accoustic transducers of the flextensor type wherein a body having an oblong cross-section is acted upon by a motor along the long axis of such cross-section. The invention aims at using visco-elastic means (104) to absorb slow deformations of the case (401) under the immersion effect. These visco-elastic means present an important stiffness to frequencies of utilisation of the transducers so as to efficiently transmit the vibrations from the motor to the case. The invention allows to produce a flextensor transducer which may withstand an important immersion without breaking the motor and whose efficiency is higher than 75 %.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a powder compact in which a recess (3) formed by die (d) and a lower punch (p1) inserted into said die is loaded with rubber mold (m) provided with a cavity (m') shaped according to the desired configuration of the compact, and subsequently, a powder is packed in the cavity of the rubber mold, and an upper punch (p2) is placed on die (d) to press the rubber mold with powder in the space formed by the die, the lower punch and the upper punch, thereby producing a powder compact. Because of the construction in which the upper punch is not inserted into the die but contacted at its bottom with the top of the die thereby carrying out the die pressing, the positioning of the indexed table does not have to be so accurate as in the prior art. The time for positioning is therefore shortened and the productivity is enhanced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the case of a process for coating one surface of a glass pane, for example a motor-vehicle window, by applying a liquid by means of a spray or atomising device, an air curtain, closed and directed radially towards the outside, parallel to the surface of the glass pane, is created on the rear side of the glass pane during application of the liquid. This air curtain makes it possible to prevent the sprayed coating material from going beyond the edge of the glass pane and from being deposited on the rear side of the latter. A suitable device for carrying out the process comprises an air-distributor box (21) with an upper closure plate (23) and supports (31, 32) for the glass pane (30). A peripheral flange (33) is installed on the closure plate (23), which flange is shifted (offset) towards the inside, parallel to the edge of the glass pane, and whose height is less than that of the supports (31, 32). The flange (33) forms, together with the glass pane (30), an air-exit gap (35). <IMAGE>
