Abstract: A peel seal zipper tape (10) for reclosable plastic bags or packages includes a first and a second mutually interlocking zipper profile (14,16) disposed on a top surface of a laminated film strip (12). The top surface (20) is formed by a layer of a sealant material. The laminated film strip also has a bottom surface (26) formed by a layer of a non-peel-seal material. In use, the laminated film strip is folded over enabling the zipper profiles to be interlocked with one another. In so doing, portions of the top surface of the laminated film strip face one another, so that they may be joined with a heat seal. The outside of the folded peel seal zipper tape, that is, the bottom surface of non-peel-seal material, is bonded to plastic sheet material from which reclosable plastic bags or packages are made. In the production of the bags or packages, the mutually facing portions of the laminated film strip are sealed together. The resulting seal gives a visual indication of having been broken when initially opened. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to determine parameters of closed containers, primary mechanical oscillations are excited in a container wall. The secondary oscillations which are excited in the container by the primary mechanical oscillations of the container wall and which occur within the space between a closure and the liquid are picked up and analyzed, the parameters being determined from the ascertained frequency characteristic of these oscillations. In addition, the primary oscillations of the closure can also be picked up and analyzed, the internal pressure prevailing in the container being determined from the frequency of these primary oscillations. The frequencies of the primary and secondary oscillations can be determined by analysis of the frequency spectrum. The secondary oscillations can be picked up separately from the primary oscillations in that only those oscillations are picked up which occur within a time measurement window within which the primary oscillations have already decayed.

Abstract: The calorific value is used of the fuel above the dew point temperature of the exhaust gas by means of an integrated open circuit operated with aqueous solutions of salts or acid. The moisture contained in the exhaust gas is first absorbed from the solution, ejected again into a desorber and deposited in the condenser. The heat supply to the desorber of the circulating process takes place directly in the combustion chamber, before or after the conventional heating surfaces through a special heat carrier or in the exhaust gas flue of the boiler.

Abstract: A multiple loop antenna is provided which may be connected to either a transmit circuit, a receive circuit, or a transmit/receive circuit. When powered by a transmit circuit, the antenna generates radio frequency magnetic fields in an area or zone proximate to the antenna, but which are substantially canceled at a distance approximately one wavelength and more from the antenna, thereby defining a surveillance zone proximate to the antenna. Radiating loop segments of the antenna are centered around a common feed point and are geometrically symmetrical, such that currents are precisely controlled in each loop segment. A crossover element electrically connects the loop segments. The crossover element includes a pair of spaced, parallel conductors.

Abstract: A water-in-oil type emulsion fuel oil is prepared by dispersing and emulsifying in heavy oil a water/carbon mixture prepared by dispersing carbon fine particles in water with a dispersant and a protective colloid. The emulsion fuel oil includes 100 vol% of heavy oil and 20 to 45 vol% of the water/carbon mixture. Water particles are uniformly dispersed and emulsified in the heavy oil in the form of particles having diameters exceeding 20  mu  m but not exceeding 35  mu  m, and when the amount of the water/carbon mixture to be mixed with 100 vol% of the heavy oil is 20 to 35 vol%, the dispersed water particles have diameters ranging from 25 to 35  mu  m, while when the amount is 35 to 45 vol%, they have diameters of from more than 20  mu  m to 25  mu  m. Because, in this emulsified fuel oil, flame temperature does not change in comparison with the heavy oil combustion to which water is not add, this emulsified fuel oil is extremely advantageous in view of a heat balance. Since oil to be combusted is decreased, CO2 to be exhausted is decreased, thereby it is effective in inhibiting global warming.

The formulation closely replicates the properties of nitroglycerin molded sublingual tablets (e.g. adequate disintegration and sublingual absorption), while reducing the problems experienced with compressed tablets (e.g. friability and weight variations). The stable tablets are characterized by a decreased migration of nitroglycerin, decreased potency loss, excellent content uniformity when stored. The preferred combination of components are: nitroglycerin/lactose dilution, hydrous lactose, glyceril monostearate, fumed silica, pregelantinized starch and calcium stearate. The preferred process employs direct compression technology to yield composition showing adequate disintegration, bioavailability and improved stability.
