Abstract: The invention relates to thermal barriers, a process and a material for their preparation, and their applications. The thermal barriers are constituted by a material comprising at least one refractory oxide having a low thermal diffusivity and at least one pseudocrystalline aluminium alloy, the amount of which represents from 2 to 30% by volume. They may be prepared by vapour-phase deposition of a mixture of a refractory oxide and pseudocrystalline alloy, or alternatively from a mixture of a refractory oxide and pseudocrystalline aluminium alloy in the molten state, or else by deposition onto the support to be protected using an oxygen/gas torch fed with material by means of a flexible bead (cord) containing the refractory oxide and the pseudocrystalline alloy. Applications: protection of engine components of aircraft or motor vehicles, of aeronautical or aerospace components, of chemical reactors or of accessories for domestic electrical appliances.

Abstract: Solid particle aerosol formulations of polypeptide drugs are made by lyophilizing solutions of the drugs which contain milling stabilizers that inhibit degradation of the drug during subsequent milling. The lyophilized drug is milled in fluid energy mills that have been fitted with abrasion-resistant materials and which use pure nitrogen that has been filtered to eliminate particles of greater than 0.1  mu m to transport the drug. The use of (a) milling stabilizers in the solution and (b) abrasion-resistant fluid energy mills that use pure filtered nitrogen in the milling step reduce insoluble contaminants and inactive fractions in the milled product.

Abstract: Procédé amélioré d'extraction d'oxyde d'aluminium monohydraté et trihydraté à partir de bauxite contenant les deux formes d'oxyde d'aluminium. On soumet la boue de bauxite à une première digestion dans une première partie de liqueur usée dans des conditions propres à extraire le trihydrate. On sépare la liqueur contenant le trihydrate dissous de la boue dans des conditions de température et de pression similaires à celles existant lors de la digestion de trihydrate. On soumet ensuite la boue de solides non dissous à une deuxième digestion dans une deuxième partie de liqueur usée dans des conditions propres à dissoudre le monohydrate. On ajoute éventuellement à cette liqueur une partie de liqueur ou de boue appropriées à concentration caustique libre peu élevée, de façon à réduire sa concentration caustique libre immédiatement avant son passage à travers les réchauffeurs à température élevée, afin de maintenir la teneur caustique libre de la liqueur passant à la deuxième digestion à température élevée, à un niveau inférieur à un point auquel elle attaquerait sévèrement lesdits réchauffeurs. L'invention permet d'améliorer simplement et facilement un processus à double digestion en un circuit de digestion unique existant.

Abstract: In a sanitary napkin (10), the retention layer (34) of the absorbent core is covered by a first tissue sheet of a density between 0.01 g/cm3 and 0.1 g/cm3 and by a second tissue sheet of a density between 0.08 and 0.3 g/cm3, the difference in density between the tissue sheets being between 0.01 g/cm3 and 0.2 g/cm3. The density gradient on top of the retention layer (34) results in a relatively high efficiency of the retention layer (34) and in efficient draining of the topmost tissue sheet, so that chances of rewet are reduced.

Abstract: Automatic system for collecting tolls for the use of roads by vehicles. The vehicles have a vehicle-mounted device with a communication device, a vehicle transceiver and an electronic credit system in the form of a processor card. Payment stations are arranged on the roads, the said payment stations carrying out an exchange of data with a wireless communication device and deducting a toll for use of the road. According to the invention, in addition to the communication device (IRK) of the payment station (ZS) there is a vehicle-locating device which detects the position of the approaching vehicle (FZ) on the basis of a brief optical signal (OS) output by the vehicle transceiver in that the temporary identification which is known to the communication record is assigned to this optical signal. The optical signal can be an infrared flashlight which is emitted at the request of the payment station. The vehicle locating device (FZL) is an infrared light-sensitive video camera (IRV) which detects the position on the basis of the optical imaging of this vehicle (FZ1) by means of computer-controlled evaluation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process and apparatus for labelling products (20) both with a label (13) and a further article, which may comprise a folded leaflet or perhaps a free sample of some other product. Converted labels (13) are unwound from a reel (22) and then an adhesive area (14) on, but smaller than each converted label is exposed, the further article then being adhered to the exposed adhesive area of the label. Thereafter, the label (13) is affixed in a conventional manner to the product (20). The label could be first affixed to the product and then the further article adhered to the exposed adhesive area of the label. The adhering of the further products to the labels at the time of the affixing of the labels to the products allows the economic manufacture and handling of a web of converted labels, together with the easy and separate storage and handling of the further articles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer film and a method for the transfer of cut graphics made of adhesive film. According to the invention, the transfer film has on both sides a differentiated surface structure made of spherical shell-like and web-like profile segments distributed over the entire surface, the profile segments of one film side having a thin adhesive layer. As a result of a program-controlled partial activation of the adhesive force of the coated profile segments of the transfer film by means of a mechanical pressure force of a plotter, direct access to the positive of the cut graphic of the adhesive film is achieved with the simultaneous omission without substitution of the conventional degridding, as is the direct, bubble-free transfer of the cut graphic by means of the transfer film to an external target surface. Apart from dispensing with an additional degridding film, the new transfer film and its application according to the method result in further advantages when transferring the graphic, in particular the possibility for the first time of applying the graphic dry without the addition of liquid.

Abstract: The gene for Streptococcus pyogenes DNase B has been cloned and vectors incorporating the cloned DNA have been used to transform Escherichia coli, allowing efficient and rapid production of the DNase in E. coli without the necessity of growing large quantities of S. pyogenes. The enzyme can be produced with aleader peptide at its amino terminus. An improved method for the purification of naturally occurring S. pyogenes DNase B enzyme is also provided. The DNase B enzyme produced, either by purification of naturally occurring enzyme or by recombinant DNA techniques, can be used to generate antibodies and can also be used in immunochemical assays to detect the presence of anti-DNase B antibodies in serum as a marker of infection by S. pyogenes.
