Patent EP-0455193-B1 (EP)

Abstract: An entangled multifilament yarn made of high-modulus individual filaments, such as, for example, aramide, carbon or glass, and a method of making this yarn are described. Customary air entangling is virtually unusable in the case of high-modulus yarns, since, owing to their brittleness, they have a tendency to break, which leads in particular to a substantial decrease in the tenacity. The invention proposes to carry out the entangling at elevated temperature, either by preheating the yarn or by heating the entangling air. Surprisingly, it has been shown that this substantially avoids a lowering of the tenacity at relatively low entanglement spacings and in some cases even makes it possible to increase the tenacity. The multifilament yarn made by this process is distinguished in particular by a small number of breaks of the individual filaments. The invention is also applicable to so-called comingled yarns in which only a portion of the yarn consists of high-modulus filaments and the other portion of thermoplastic filaments.

Abstract: A process utilizes the tetrazole functional group to direct lithiation at the ortho position of a phenyltetrazole and generate a nucleophilic aryllithium species which then undergoes reaction with an electrophile to generate a 2-substituted 1-(tetrazol-5-yl)benzene. The process is useful in the production of intermediates in the synthesis of angiotensin II antagonists. This novel process is a more cost effective and versatile route for the large-scale preparation of these key intermediates.

Date Sep. 19, 1991.A sofa or armchair with adjustable sitting depth (7-8), which has a back rest (1), which can be detached and taken off and the distance of which can be changed and thus, the sitting depth can be changed, and to which belongs an adjusting and locking device (2), with which a stepless or adjustment with steps are locked. E.g. the back of a sofa is traditionally fixed and almost all adjustment possibilities have been different solutions by cushions, which however, are not always satisfying when thinking of needs of different people. With this solution people of different lengths can adjust the sitting depth of a sofa or armchair fitting to themselves, which at the same time makes the sitting more comfortable and along with that reduces likelihood of back problems. Also the adjustable back rest gives new dimensions and possibilities for furniture design and product development.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for treating pruritus by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a PAF antagonist to a mammal afflicted with pruritus. The PAF antagonists may, for example, be selected from synthetic PAF analogues, natural products isolated from plants having PAF antagonist activity, and triazolobenzodiazepines. The PAF antagonists are preferably applied topically to the afflicted site but systemic such as oral, parenteral, nasal and intrarectal administration, is also possible.

The method and the device are characterized in that the geometry of the microwave cavity is varied proportionally to the geometry of the sample container in order to concentrate the microwave field within the container. The reaction time can also be shortened and the reaction yield also increased by varying the microwave field energy or microwave field frequency. The reaction time can also be decreased by adding salts to the process liquid or by adapting the frequency of the microwave field to the resonance frequency of the process liquid in the microwave spectrum.

Abstract: The receiver (3) is connected to a first phase of the electrical power supply network (2) from which it is fed exclusively with the transmitted information items. At least one event is monitored in the phases of the electrical power supply network (2), the occurrence of which event in one of the phases exacerbates or renders impossible correct reception of the transmitted information items in the receiver (3) when the latter is fed exclusively from the relevant phase with the transmitted information items. The arrangement (1) is driven via in each case one voltage divider (9, 10, 11) per phase and contains a controller (8), a switching arrangement (15; 16; 17) and in each case one event monitoring arrangement (12, 13, 14) per phase. The arrangement contains in each case one event detector (25, 26, 27) and in each case one event counter (28, 29, 30) per monitored event. The method and the arrangement (1) produce statements on the quality of the transmission and of the transmission path, which statements can be used, inter alia, for statistical purposes, for saving temporarily stored measurement data in a non-volatile memory and for switching over the transmission path. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mattress (1) lies on a slat support which comprises a plurality of sprung support modules (4) arranged spaced apart along two longitudinal supports (2, 3). Each of the support modules (4) extending transversely to the longitudinal supports has a spring slat (5) which is supported in the region of its lateral ends by a support slat (6) which is preferably loosely connected to the said longitudinal supports. In order to prevent displacement of the mattress (1) relative to the slat support, displacement prevention means (8) in each case in the form of a pocket (10) with attachment means (12, 13) are mounted on the lateral lower edges (7) of the mattress. Since the longitudinal supports (2, 3) of the slat support are offset inwards away from the edge of the slat support symmetrically relative to the longitudinal access thereof, the pockets (10) can be looped around the exposed lateral ends of the support modules (4) and attached thereto by the said attachment means. A permanent, simple and aesthetically attractive solution for preventing displacement of the mattress relative to the slat support is outlined here. <IMAGE>
