Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/02751 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 24, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 24, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 13, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/02988 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 1, 1996The common-wave broadcasting of radio programs is known in the art. Common-wave operation of radio transmitters allows the available transmission band width to be particularly well utilized, for example for national scale common-wave broadcasts. A new process now allows a stereo transmission channel to be divided into two mono transmission channels during radio broadcasts and to broadcast certain programs only through particular transmitters. Information concerning the division of the stereo transmission channel into two mono transmission channels is further broadcast over the entire common-wave transmission network. This information causes receivers tuned to this transmission channel to automatically switch to mono evaluation of the reception signal. On a regional level, information may also be broadcast concerning which of both mono transmission channels may be received. Alternatively, the receiver or user himself may select the mono transmission channel he wishes to receive. This process may be implemented with all common-wave broadcasting modes.

Title: Methods and compositions for monitoring cellular processing of beta -amyloid precursor protein
Inventor: SEUBERT PETER A
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1993-03-03
Granted: 1998-03-19
Abstract: Processing of  beta -amyloid precursor protein ( beta APP) is monitored by detecting the secretion of a soluble  beta APP fragment resulting from cleavage of  beta APP at the amino-terminus of  beta -amyloid peptide. In vivo monitoring of secretion of the  beta APP fragment may be monitored for diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease and other  beta -amyloid-related diseases, while in vitro monitoring of such secretion from cultured cells may be monitored to identify inhibitors of  beta -amyloid production. The  beta APP fragment may be detected using antibodies and other specific binding substances which recognize a carboxy-terminal residue on the fragment.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH93/00108 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 5, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 5, 1994 PCT Filed Apr. 30, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/22492 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 11, 1993A process for the production of cellulose from wood and annual plants is provided where the digesting liquor contains free caustic soda, sodium salts of alkyl benzenesulfonic acids, and of aromatic or aliphatic carboxylic acids. By the addition of anthraquinone or its derivatives to the digesting liquor, the delignification is improved. Anthraquinone is resistant to wet oxidation and can be reintroduced into the digesting process. The solubility and, therefore, the effectiveness of anthraquinone is improved by the use of sulfonic acid salts. For the recovery of the digesting chemicals contained in the black liquor, solubilized liquor is precipitated with mineral acid or carbon dioxide and the hemicelluloses are separated by ultra filtration. The resins are separated by extraction with the residual organic compounds, except for the sulfonates and carboxylics, being burned in an aqueous phase with air and/or oxygen. The solution of chemicals containing no further wood decomposition products can, by caustification of the carbonates, be transformed into caustic soda and after partial crystallization of the aliphatic carboxylics used for the cycle of pulp production. The sodium acetate isolated by crystallization can, by membrane electrolysis, be split into acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. The caustic soda is reintroduced to the digesting process, while the acetic acid is treated separately.

Title: Cosmetic containing phospholipids and fluorocarbon compounds
Inventor: GROSS UDO
IPC: A61K8/14
Filed: 1993-06-24
Granted: 1996-04-26
Abstract: A cosmetic is disclosed for aiding the transport of oxygen in the skin, as well as a process for preparing the same and its use. The problem with known cosmetics is the insufficient oxygen supply to the skin and adjacent tissues. The object of the invention provides a means to go beyond the stratum corneum of the skin and the epiderm by penetration processes in order to increase the oxygen concentration in the corial zone and adjacent tissues and to activate the metabolic processes. For that purpose, a cosmetic with asymmetrical lamellary aggregates consists of phospholipids and an oxygen-loaded fluorocarbon compound or a fluorocarbon compound mixture. The proportion of fluorocarbon compound lies in a range from 0.2 to 100 % by weight/volume, and it is contained in an excipient appropriate for dermatological uses. This cosmetic is prepared by emulsifying its components and is used in salves, creams, lotions, liquids, alcoholic extracts, pastes, powders, gels, tinctures on or plasters and bandages, or in a spray.

Title: Production of acid soluble titania
Inventor: HOLLITT MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 1990-05-10
Granted: 1992-08-06
Abstract: The specification discloses a method of making acid digestible titania. The method comprises the steps of: (1) adding a magnesium or manganese compound to a titaniferous mineral if the content of manganese and magnesium in the mineral is insufficient; (2) heating the mineral in the presence of a reductant for a sufficient length of time and at a sufficiently high temperature to permit the reduction of iron containing compounds to metallic iron and enable titania present to convert to an acid digestible form; (3) cooling the mineral; and (4) separating iron from the mineral by means of an aqueous aeration step. The titaniferous mineral contains insufficient magnesium and manganese if the following expression is not satisfied: 1.98a + 1.14b/d  >/=  0.08 where a represents the percentage by weight of MgO contained in the mineral, (b) represents the percentage by weight fo MnO contained in the mineral; and (d) represents the percentage by weight of TiO2 contained in the mineral. The magnesium or manganese compound is either an oxide or a compound that is capable of converting to an oxide under reaction conditions. An aqueous aeration technique described in the specification involves the use of a sequesterant that is capable of sequestering iron from the mineral without significantly lowering the local pH while at the same time permitting the formation of an oxide of iron at a point away from the mineral. An example of such a sequesterant is citric acid.
