Abstract: A press bending station includes an annular mold (5) and a full-face mold (6). Holes (10), selectively connected to a negative pressure source, are placed in portions of the full-face mold (6) that are determined by the configuration of the annular mold when the annular mold comes into contact with a heated glass sheet (2) during the press bending process. The sheet (2) is drawn by negative pressure through the holes (10) towards the full-face mold (6) and thus acquires its shape. Positive pressure may be selectively applied to the holes (10) to release the sheet (2). According to the invention, at least some of the holes (10) are arranged in at least one groove (11) formed in the mold face of the full-face mold. The grooves (11) according to the invention accelerate considerably the removal by negative pressure of the air between the molding face of the full-face mold (6) and the glass sheet (2) to be bent and thus improve the press bending process.

Abstract: Stabilized liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising an interferon (IFN) or an isoform, mutein, fused protein, functional derivative, active fraction or salt thereof, wherein said formulation is a solution that comprises a buffer, a cyclodextrin, an isotonicity agent and an anti-oxidant are described here. Preferably the interferon is interferon beta-1a and the cyclodextrin is HPBCD. These formulations are stable at room temperature, thus bringing the advantage of lower costs for formulation storage and increased safety for the patient with respect to possible “errors” during handling. As a matter of fact, having such formulations stable at room temperature reduces the risk of formation of degradation products potentially responsible for adverse events (e.g. immunogenicity).

Abstract: A method of producing parts from powdered metals is disclosed, comprising the
following steps. A metallurgical powder is provided, consisting of iron, 0.3-1.0 weight
percent carbon, 0-4 weight percent chromium, 0-3 weight percent copper, 0.5-1.5
weight percent molybdenum, 0.5-4.5 weight percent nickel, 0-1.0 weight percent
manganese, and 0-1.5 weight percent silicon. Metal powders are made by atomization
and mixing. The powder metal parts are made by compacting, pre-sintering,
profile/form grinding, sinter furnace hardening, and secondary operations.
Profile/form grinding generates profiles, which can not be formed by compaction
tooling, such as undercut. The specific pre-sinter cycle makes parts strong enough for
profile grinding with prolonged tool life. Powder metal parts made by this invention
are also disclosed.
