Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US97/08009 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 27, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 27, 1998 PCT Filed May 8, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/43527 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 20, 1997A regenerative thermal oxidizer (H-101) includes a number of heat exchange columns (A, B) topped by a combustion chamber (C-101). Contaminated air is directed into one of the columns and oxidation is completed as the flow passes through the combustion chamber (C-101). From the combustion chamber (C-101), the now clean air flows vertically downward through another column and then is directed via an outlet through an outlet manifold and released to atmosphere or recirculated back to the oxidizer (H-101). A combustible fuel is added to the contaminated air prior to its entry into one of the columns. The addition of the combustible fuel is regulated by continuously monitoring the inlet and outlet temperatures (TE-101A, TE-108A), and comparing a difference between these temperatures to a predetermined value. Further control can be achieved by measuring the flow of contaminated air to the oxidizer (H-101) via pressure differential and coordinating that measurement with the temperature differential measurement.

Abstract: A package for containing hygienic articles. The package has a dispensing aperture covered by a refastenably closable flap. The flap overlaps the dispensing aperture, to minimize external contamination. The aperture is made by a cut-out, leaving an opening in the material used to form the package. A separate retaining band is added to decrease the size of the opening so that the desired overlap can be maintained independent of the cut-out used to form the opening or the flap. The package is intact as presented to the user, and may completely enclose the hygienic articles after the first use of a hygienic article.

Abstract: A container has a wall which defines a space for holding a fluid and a sealing device connected to the wall. The sealing device comprises a coupling member having a seat and a channel which gives access to the space. The sealing device further comprises a valve, which has been formed separately from the coupling member and which is movable with respect to the coupling member in a first direction parallel to the channel from on open position, in which the channel is open, to a closed position, in which the valve cooperates with the seat and the channel is closed. The sealing device has two arms which position the valve in its open position and which support the valve in the first direction (5). The arms are separate from the seat and in its open position the valve (20) is clear of the seat. In this way a reliable sealing is achieved.

Abstract: The invention concerns modular construction of a retainer system which simultaneously can serve both for retaining and temporary storage. The design calls for a few basic elements which can be attached like "lego" and are always based on the same connecting elements (23). However, the design includes both lengthways and crossways coupling. This enables linear, star-shaped and web-shaped retainers to be constructed. The basic element consists of light-weight tubular canisters which serve as containers (13) for the dual sealed tubes folded into themselves. The length of the dual sealed tubes can be adapted to the particular situation and ranges, for example, from 5-100 meters. In the case of large-scale accidents, the new system can be combined with the heavy state-of-the-art retainers. However, it is particularly suited for smaller and medium oil spills, in the course of which the collection and skimming of oil can be particularly well optimized.

Abstract: Human mast cell activation is modulated by ATP binding to P2-purinoceptors on the mast cell surface. ATP binding to the purinoceptors provides a target for therapeutic intervention for the treatment of disorders characterized by undesireable mast cell mediator release, such as asthma and allergy. Inhibitors of ATP binding to mast cell P2-purinoceptors are useful therapeutic agents for treatments of those disorders. Methods of treatment using agents, and in vitro screening assays for selection of the therapeutic agents, are described.

Abstract: The bed frame includes a base frame and an articulating upper frame. The base frame includes a head end, a foot end and oppositely-disposed longitudinally extending sides. The articulating upper frame or deck comprises an upper body section, a seat section, a thigh section, and a lower leg section. These frame sections are longitudinally spaced apart and transversely extended, and at least the upper body, thigh and lower leg sections are movable with respect to the seat section to provide for the articulating movement. The articulating upper frame is mounted on the base frame for longitudinal shifting of the articulating upper frame relative to the base frame. A drive assembly for raising and lowering the upper body section relative to the base frame includes linkage connected to the upper body section such that, tilting movement of the upper body section shifts the articulating upper frame longitudinally relative to the base frame. A second drive assembly for raising and lowering the thigh section relative to the base frame includes linkage connected to the lower leg section such that, when the thigh section tilts upwardly, the lower leg section tilts downwardly. In accordance with further aspects of the bed frame, a drive assembly for longitudinal shifting of the upper frame relative to the base frame includes linkage connected to the upper body section such that longitudinal shifting of the upper frame relative to the base frame results in tilting movement of the upper body section.

Abstract: The present invention refers to stirrups and ties for structural members. Such stirrups and ties are used in all the structural members like columns, beams, slabs, footings, piles, chainages, lintels etc. The invention refers also to a method of reinforcement of structural members and to the structural members themselves. According to the invention the stirrup or tie consists of a load-bearing element for the fixing of the longitudinal rebars and for the undertaking of the tensile forces which develop during the loading of the structural members. The load bearing element consists of at least one cell of closed shape so that the flow of the tensile stresses developed in the cross section is closed and the stresses are not diffused to the concrete. The load bearing element of the stirrup or tie in accordance to the invention has a continuous cross section and thus there are no free ends as in the known stirrups. In this way anchoring of the stirrups or ties is completely avoided. The closed cellular shape has no discontinuation and may be simple, for example, rectangular, circular, T-shaped, I-shaped, etc. or complete, for example, square with inscribed rectangular, circular with inscribed per square etc.

Abstract: Vitamin E TPGS/drug compositions and methods are provided which obviate the need for surfactants or non-evaporated co-solvents because the active drug component is dissolved directly into Vitamin E TPGS to form a true molecular solution-not an emulsion or a micro-emulsion. The invention provides a slowly dissolving TPGS/Drug matrix that absorbs gastrointestinal fluid into the matrix at the dosage form/fluid interface, where a gel-like liquid crystal is formed. This gel front forms a liquid crystal boundary where drug dissolution is highest. At this liquid crystal/GI fluid boundary, a synchronization takes place in which the rate of formation of liquid crystals equals the dissolution rate of liquid crystals at the water interface, thereby giving controlled order release of the drug into the GI tract. The rate of dissolution is also controlled by the geometry of the dosage form. The solid Vitamin E TPGS/drug matrices of the invention can be solidified and compressed into tablets or filled into capsules, with other excipients, binders and/or fillers. The solid TPGS/drug solution of the invention also can be made into an immediate release liquid formulation upon addition of water, or into a controlled release system solid tablet by the use of impermeable or semi-permeable barriers or coatings surrounding portions of the tablet.
