Abstract: The fitting comprises a pipe connection with a one-ended connecting head (2) on which a one part full flange (1) is fitted. The connecting head is blunt conically shaped, with the smaller blunt conical end surface forming the transition to the pipe connection. The full flange has a through passage opening, which has a negative profile corresponding to the blunt conical section of the connecting head. The connecting head in the area of the larger blunt conical end surface has an approach limitation (13) for the full flange. The approach limitation connects directly to the larger blunt conical end surface. It is so formed and arranged that the face surface (7) is enlarged through a diameter enlargement of the connecting head.

Abstract: In a method for recovering polymers in a substantially pure form from a solution containing the polymers, the solution is first treated with a reactant (e.g. an acid, a sequestrant or a mixture of both) to form the free polymers and salts of the reactant. Second, the solution is treated to remove the salts therefrom and in a final stage the polymer solution is concentrated and the polymers recovered. The second treatment step may consist of membrane-filtration, ion-exchange or electrodialysis.

Abstract: Electrical connector that penetrates insulation, to connect insulated wires to e.g. a plug or an actuator. It includes perforators mounted on a support. These make the connection to the equipment on one side. On the other side, they are moved towards a conductor, cutting through the insulation to complete the connection. In the new design, the perforator includes a spike (27) with cylindrical (28) and conical sections terminating in a point (29). The diameter D of the cylindrical section (28) is linked to the diameter d of the conductors by the relationship 0.78 (0.91) x d < D < 1.56 (1.38) x d. This applies to flexible conductors between 0.75 mm<2> and 6 mm<2>. Preferably the cable insulation is polyvinyl chloride.

Abstract: Compositions for coating biological and non-biological surfaces, which minimize or prevent cell-cell contact and tissue adhesion, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. Embodiments include polyethylene glycol/polylysine (PEG/PLL) block or comb-type copolymers with high molecular weight PLL (greater than 1000, more preferably greater than 100,000); PEG/PLL copolymers in which the PLL is a dendrimer which is attached to one end of the PEG; and multilayer compositions including alternating layers of polycationic and polyanionic materials. The multi-layer polymeric material is formed by the ionic interactions of a polycation and a polyanion. The molecular weights of the individual materials are selected such that the PEG portion of the copolymer inhibits cellular interactions, and the PLL portion adheres well to tissues. The compositions and methods are useful, for example, in inhibiting formation of post-surgical adhesions, protecting damaged blood vessels from thrombosis and restenosis, and decreasing the extent of metastasis of attachment-dependent tumor cells. The compositions and methods are also useful for coating non-biological surfaces such as metallic surfaces.

Abstract: A non-allergenic resistive exercise device is described. The device is in the form of a relatively thin elongate band of thermoplastic elastomer. In one embodiment of the invention, the device is in the form of a seamless endless band, while in another, the band is substantially strip-shaped. The bands can be textured to enhance the ability of a user to grip them during use, and the bands can also be printed or otherwise ornamented. The exercise devices of the instant invention are latex-free so as to be non-allergenic, do not require supplemental powdering of their surfaces, and are virtually odor-free. Several methods for producing the bands are also described. In one method, the thermoplastic elastomer material is extruded through an elongate-shaped die to form a cast film, which is solidified and cut to the desired length for use. In this method, the die in desirably substantially dog bone-shaped, in order to produce elongate bands having thickened side edges. In another method, the material is extruded as a hollow tube which is inflated with a gas and enlarged to form a large diameter tube having relatively thin walls. The tube is then cut transversely to form a plurality of seamless, substantially ring-shaped bands.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for polishing a surface of a semiconductor wafer using a pad moveable in both forward and reverse directions. In both VLSI and ULSI applications, polishing the wafer surface to complete flatness is highly desirable. The forward and reverse movement of the polishing pad provides superior planarity and uniformity to the surface of the wafer. The wafer surface is pressed against the polishing pad as the pad moves in both forward and reverse directions while polishing the wafer surface. During polishing, the wafer is supported by a wafer housing having a novel wafer loading and unloading method.
