Abstract: The present invention relates to aromatic polyamide film which is characterized in that on at least one face thereof the number of projections of height at least 20nm but less than 50nm is from 10<3> to 10<6> per mm<2>, and the number of projections of height at least 50nm but less than 100nm is from 0 to 3 x 10<4> per mm<2>. Further, the present invention also offers a method of producing an aromatic polyamide film which is characterized in that, in a method of producing aromatic polyamide film from a solution obtained by adding to an aromatic polyamide solution a particle-containing slurry formed by dispersing particles of particle diameter 10 to 300nm in a liquid medium of 10 poise or less, such that the amount of said particles added in terms of the aromatic polyamide is 0.005 to 4.5wt%, the relative standard deviation in the diameters of said particles is no more than 0.8 and, furthermore, there is used a particle-containing slurry where the initial filterability index Q1 of said particle-containing slurry and the filterability index Q2 after the passage of 500ml of liquid satisfy the following relation. <MATH>   While the film of the present invention is also ideal for use as flexible printed substrates, capacitors and printer ribbons, etc, since it is possible to realise extremely high levels of both output characteristics and durability, it is especially suitable for magnetic recording media, in particular for computer external memory and digital video tape where high density and high precision are demanded.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for enhancing the bioadhesive properties of polymers used in drug delivery systems. The bioadhesive properties of a polymer are enhanced by incorporating an anhydride oligomer into the polymer to enhance the ability of the polymer to adhere to a tissue surface such as a mucosal membrane. Anhydride oligomers which enhance the bioadhesive properties of a polymer include oligomers synthesized from dicarboxylic acid monomers, preferably those found in Krebs glycolysis cycle, especially fumaric acid. The oligomers can be incorporated within a wide range of polymers including proteins, polysaccharides and synthetic biocompatible polymers. In one embodiment, anhydride oligomers can be incorporated within polymers used to form or coat drug delivery systems, such as microspheres, which contain a drug or diagnostic agent. The oligomers can either be solubilized and blended with the polymer before manufacture or else used as a coating with polymers over existing systems. The polymers, for example in the form of microspheres, have improved ability to adhere to mucosal membranes, and thus can be used to deliver a drug or diagnostic agent via any of a range of mucosal membrane surfaces including those of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, excretory and reproductive tracts.

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are vectors having enhanced expression and methods for making and using them. Enhancement of expression is from substantially co-temporal expression of at least one first nucleic acid molecule and at least one second nucleic acid molecule. The second nucleic acid molecule encodes a translation factor. The contemporaneous expression can be from operably linking the first and second nucleic molecules to a single promoter, or from operably linking the first nucleic acid molecule to a first promoter and the second nucleic molecule to a second promoter wherein the first and second promoters function substantially contemporaneously. Thus, the first and second nucleic acid molecules can be at the same locus in the vector or at different loci. The second nucleic acid molecule can encode encode one translation factor or more than one translation factor. The translation factor can be a K3L open reading frame, an E3L open reading frame, a VAI RNA, an EBER RNA, a sigma 3 open reading frame, a TRBP open reading frame, or combinations thereof. The vector can be a poxvirus such as an attenuated poxvirus; for instance, a NYVAC vaccinia virus or an ALVAC canarypox virus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for fluids having a volume (2a) which can be filled with a fluid, and emptied by pressurizing the fluid by subjecting it to internal gas pressure. The invention is characterized in that the container has a valve device (7a) for filling the volume (2a) with the fluid, while the internal gas pressure is generated by compressing a gas trapped in the container (1a). It is thus not necessary to fill the receptacle with pressure gas separately.

Abstract: An electric power cable of the kind having at least one metallic conductor, optionally a conductor screen of semiconductive material, and insulation all enclosed in an earth screen formed by wires or narrow tapes and a sheath formed by polymeric material is characterised by a sheath construction including a first extruded polymeric layer which encloses the earth screen of the cable without filling the gaps between the components thereof (the wires or strips), a second extruded polymeric layer enclosing the first and between them a moisture barrier laminate having a metal foil layer coated on one of its major faces with a polymeric material compatible with the material of the extruded layer it contacts and bonded to that extruded layer only. That increases the resistance of the cable to impact, compared with constructions in which a moisture barrier foil layer is applied directly over the screen wires, and increases flexibility and reduces cost compared with constructions in which the foil is bonded to both extruded layers.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for producing a propylene polymer nucleated with a polymeric nucleating agent containing vinyl compound units. The method comprises modifying a catalyst by polymerizing a vinyl compound in the presence of said catalyst in a medium, which does not essentially dissolve the polymerized vinyl compound, and by continuing the polymerization of the vinyl compound until the concentration of unreacted vinyl compounds is less than about 0.5 wt-%. The thus obtained modified catalyst composition is used for polymerizing propylene optionally together with comonomers to produce in the presence of said modified catalyst composition. Modification of the catalyst according to the present invention will reduce production costs and provide highly reliable catalyst activity.

Abstract: A diode 30 is forward-biased by the complementary outputs of an ECL bistable 22 so that RF signals may pass between terminals 26 and 28. Rapid switching is possible because there are no biasing inductors. When the bistable outputs toggle, the diode is reverse-biased and the RF signal is blocked. A diode bridge (figure 3) comprising two diode pairs in separate packages may be used instead of a single diode to improve isolation between ports 26 and 28 when the switch is off.
