Abstract: Racemic Feist's acid is treated with (R)-(+)-a-methylbenzylamine to yield (1R-trans)-3-methylenecyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, (R)-a-methylbenzylamine (1:1) salt. This salt can then be converted to (1R-trans)-3-methylene-1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acid, dimethyl ester which is an intermediate in the preparation of the antiviral agent Ä1R-(1a,2b,3a)Ü-2-amino-9-Ä2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutylÜ-1,9-dihyd ro-6H-purin-6-one. The improved process also enables the recovery of racemic Feist's acid from the resolution.

The closures (1) are conveyed in horizontal positions pneumatically from a closure-manufacturing machine towards a downwardly inclined, vibrating, tranpsort box (110) and tilted pneumatically into vertical positions as they approached the box (110) for stacking in the box (110). On a packaging machine, the box (110) is pointed obliquely downwards and emptied by vibration to cause the closures (1) to slide from the box (110) onto a downwardly and then upwardly inclined guide surface ready for transfer to the containers (12) Bottom-closed containers (12) advance side-by-side in rows (235, 236) which are divided into rows (231-234) for filling and top-closing. The dividing mechanism (118) includes transverse belts (249) which can grip the containers (12) horizontally between them and can laterally outwardly reject faulty containers (12). The dividing mechanism is followed by an unloading device (119) comprising suction cups (278) mounted upon a modified "Watt" linkage converting rotary drive motion into approximately rectilinear motion of the cups (278), the linkage having no exposed sliding surfaces. The containers (12) are advanced through the filling and top-closing stations by a chain conveyor (68) with leading and trailing bars (296 and 292) resiliently gripping the containers (12) between them and with lower trailing bars (299) pushing lower portions of the container (12). Horizontal guide members (300, 301) guiding the bars (299) and the containers (12) are vertically adjustable, to adjust for containers (12) of various heights. A discharge belt conveyor (70) has lanes (231-234) for approved top-closed containers (12) alternating with reject lanes (311) into which selected containers (12) can be rejected by inclined rejecting plates (317).

Abstract: A shaft clutch mechanism, and method and apparatus for its production are disclosed. The shaft clutch mechanism has an upper body folded into a polygonal cross section with a plurality of fingers, each finger attached to and extending from a flat section of the upper body. The shaft clutch mechanism is pressed on to one end of an inner nested element of a telescoping body and is placed inside an outer element where the fingers are slightly deformed, providing slight friction sufficient to hold the inner element in place, but still allowing it to slide relative to the outer element. The method and apparatus for producing the shaft clutch mechanism use a two stage press and a bending device to take a continuous strip of material to form blanks which then are bent to form the shaft clutch mechanism that is pressed on to the inner element of the telescoping body.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for making an envelope from ordinary size, readily available, writing paper. Preferably, the apparatus is a compact desk-top size machine that can be combined with any common office printer, such as a laser printer, or even be incorporated thereinto to form a single machine. The apparatus enables the provision of a system for integrating and simplifying office computerized printing of letters and addressing of envelopes, by using a single paper tray whereby, for example, following the printing of a letter on one or more sheets of paper, the subsequently fed final sheet of paper from the paper tray is routed to the envelope making apparatus, perhaps after the printing of an address on the final sheet, whereby an envelope is created. The envelope is created by the apparatus by appropriate scoring or creasing of fold lines, as well as cutting the sides of the sheet of paper to form side flaps, for example, and the application of a suitable adhesive for sealing the bottom flap to the side flaps, for example, as well as the application of an adhesive on the sealing flap for subsequent sealing by the user, for example, following the insertion of the typed letter, for example, into the thus created envelope. Thus, by means of the apparatus, a method is devised for integrating the letter and envelope addressing and graphics, such as a logo to be impressed or printed on the envelope, with the same computer program at the same time and with the same printing means. Thus there is a significant economic saving in producing envelopes oneself from relatively inexpensive writing paper. With the apparatus according to the invention, it is also possible to make mailers from ordinary sheets of paper already carrying a message, thus saving the cost and bother of using and handling both a letter and an envelope.

Date Nov. 11, 1993A method is revealed for the quantitative determination of the proportion of the free form of a thyroid hormone ligand in a sample of a biological fluid in which the ligand is present partly in the free form and also partly in a form in which it is bound to physiological binding proteins. In the first step, a ligand derivative of the thyroid hormone with an immunoglobulin, a labelled specific binder, and a test tube whose walls are coated with an excess of a protein material are provided. In the second step, a sample of the biological fluid containing an unknown amount of the free thyroid hormone ligand, a solution containing a known amount of the ligand derivative, and a solution containing a known, less than stoichiometric amount of the labelled specific binder are added to the test tube to form a liquid reaction mixture. In the third step, the reaction mixture is incubated to allow the free thyroid hormone ligand and the ligand derivative in the liquid reaction mixture to compete for the binding sites of the labelled specific binder, and to allow, in a concomitant slower reaction, the binding of the immunoglobulin part of the ligand derivative to the excess of the protein material on the walls of the test tube. In the fourth step, the remaining liquid reaction mixture is removed from the test tube. In the final steps, the amount of labelled specific binder bound to the walls of the test tube is determined and the amount of the free thyroid hormone ligand calculated.
