Abstract: Treating or preventing the early stages of degeneration of articular cartilage or subchondral bone in the affected joint of a mammal is accomplished by administering a chondroprotective compound of Formula (I): <CHEM>  wherein <CHEM> where A is hydroxy, (C1 - C4)alkoxy, amino, hydroxy-amino, mono-(C1 -C2)alkylamino, di-(C1-C2)alkylamino; X and Y are independently H or (C1 - C2)alkyl; and n is 1 or 2; R<6> is halogen, (C1 - C3)alkyl, trifluoromethyl, or nitro; R<9> is H; (C1 - C2)alkyl; phenyl or phenyl-(C1 - C2)alkyl, where phenyl is optionally mono-substituted by fluoro or chloro; -C(=O)-R, where R is (C1-C2)alkyl or phenyl, optionally mono-substituted by fluoro or chloro; or -C(=O)-O-R<1> , where R<1> is (C1 - C2)alkyl. This treatment ameliorates, diminishes, actively treats, reverses or prevents any injury, damage or loss of articular cartilage or subchondral bone subsequent to said early stage of said degeneration. Whether or not a mammal needs such treatment is determined by whether or not it exhibits a statistically significant deviation from normal standard values in synovial fluid or membrane from the affected joint, with respect to at least five of the following substances: increased interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta ); increased tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha ); increased ratio of IL-1 beta  to IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IRAP); increased expression of p55 TNF receptors (p55 TNF-R); increased interleukin-6 (IL-6); increased leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF); decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1); decreased transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta ); decreased platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF); decreased basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF); increased keratan sulfate; increased stromelysin; increased ratio of stromelysin to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases (TIMP); increased osteocalcin; increased alkaline phosphatase; increased cAMP responsive to hormone challenge; increased urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA); increased cartilage oligomeric matrix protein; and increased collagenase.

Abstract: Low temperature curable unsaturated polyester powder coatings suited for heat sensitive substrates with improved surface cure through incorporation of active hydrogen groups into the unsaturated polyester molecule. The unsaturated polyesters containing active hydrogens are derived from ethylenically unsaturated polyfunctional carboxylic acids and active hydrogen containing polyols. Full cure on the surface is obtained without the need for polyethylene waxes or oxygen-reactive curative resins that are commonly employed in order to prevent atmospheric oxygen from inhibiting the free-radical induced cure at the surface of the coating.

Abstract: A method is provided for regulating a three-phase machine functioning under any operational conditions without a mechanical rotary transducer. The machine is supplied with D.C. power by an inverter, where parameters of a D.C. link using an actual switching state of the inverter are detected for regulation. The method includes measuring (1) flow direction required for field-oriented control in asynchronous machines, and (2) rotor position for rotor-oriented control in synchronous machines. The measuring is performed by using spatial magnetic conductivity fluctuations in the machine. The conductivity fluctuations are detected using parameters for a D.C. link. An actual switching state of an inverter is used in the measuring process. Mathematical evaluation to calculate flow direction or rotor direction is then performed.

Abstract: The inventive device (10) for degerminating water comprises a housing which has an inlet and an outlet for the water and a removable housing section (16). A source of UV radiation (17) is also provided. Said source of UV radiation is situated inside the housing with its radiation directed at the water flowing through, and has electrical connecting elements (48) in its base area (38) by which means it can be supplied with power. The housing comprises a stationary connecting socket (26) with connecting elements (34) which are complementary to the electrical connecting elements (48) of the source of UV radiation (17). These connecting elements (34) can be connected to an external power source. The electrical connecting elements (48) in the base area (38) of the source of UV radiation (17) and the electrical connecting elements (34) in the stationary connecting socket (26) are situated adjacently, closely to each other when the source of UV radiation is in its operating position. The invention also provides for a device (29, 50) for ensuring that the user is always protected from the UV light of the source of radiation (17) when removing the housing section (16). When there is a relative movement of the removable housing section (16) away from the connecting socket (26), said device causes the base area (38) of the source of UV radiation (17) to move in relation to the connecting socket (26), hereby interrupting the supply of power to the source of UV radiation (17).

Abstract: Methods of synthesizing polynucleotides are disclosed involving the simultaneous ligation of a set of oligomer 5'-phosphates onto a template-bound primer. The set of these oligomers can be preselected to contain oligomers which are complementary to the template strand or the oligomers can be supplied as a library and allowed to self select. The synthesis by ligation can proceed unidirectionally or bidirectionally from the primer and can be used to synthesize both strands simultaneously by the use of two primers. The ligation is preferably performed with a ligase enzyme. The methods of synthesis are useful in a variety of applications, including cloning, amplification, labeling, diagnostic assays, mutation analysis and screening, gene expression monitoring and sequence analysis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and installation for sanitizing surface water, especially by introducing components which induce a sanitizing effect. Said components are dosed with regard to the volume of water and are introduced and incorporated into the water in succession with defined temporal delay. Using a dosing pump (5), a first pre-suspended component is added, by injection into a mixing device (7), to a fresh water stream (8) in which a uniform mixing and defined dilution result. The diluted component is fed to a distribution device (10) where it is distributed with a defined volumetric flow rate to an incorporating device (11) which is at least partially submerged in the water. An additional component is fed to another fresh water stream (12) via another dosing pump (6), is uniformly mixed and diluted in a defined manner, and is fed to an additional distribution device (14) as well as to an incorporating device (15) arranged downstream. The necessary time interval between each introduction of the components into the water is manually or automatically adjusted according to the current data such as the flow rate of the water and the reaction time of the components.
