IPC: B01D19/04
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing stable foam regulator compositions which during the production of particulate washing and cleaning agents withstand the mixing process with the remaining constitutive elements of the washing or cleaning agents without loosing their granulated structure and without dusting, but which nevertheless are quickly dissolved, without leaving any residues, in the conditions of use, releasing the foam-inhibiting combination of active substances, which in particular include a low melting paraffin. For this purpose, a progressive granulation process is carried out in a granulation mixer, in that 50 to 100 parts by weight of an inorganic carrier salt, optionally with up to 5 parts by weight of an anionic and/or non-ionic cellulose ethers are intensively mixed, 1 to 10 parts by weight of an aqueous alkali silicate and/or polymer polycarboxylate solution are added while granulation is pursued, and finally 10 parts by weight of a an antifoaming combination of active substances heated up to a temperature in the 70  DEG C to 180  DEG C range is added.

Title: Method of fabricating a fiber optic connector ferrule
Inventor: BUNIN GREGORY
IPC: G02B6/40
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A method is disclosed for fabricating a connector
ferrule (50) for a fiber optic ribbon cable (20) which
includes a plurality of generally parallel optical fibers
(22) in a line. A ferrule body (52) is provided with a
fiber passage (54) which is elongated in cross-section to
receive the line of optical fibers (22). A jacket (46) is
removed from an end portion of the fiber optic ribbon cable
(20) to expose the line of optical fibers. The ferrule
body (52) is placed in a fixture (62). The cable (20) is
placed in the ferrule body with the exposed line of optical
fibers (22) located in the fiber passage (54), and with
distal ends of the exposed fibers projecting outwardly of
the ferrule body (52). The exposed distal ends of the
fibers (22) are located on the fixture (62) to precisely
align the fibers relative to each other in the fiber
passage (54). A filler adhesive (98) is applied in the
fiber passage (54) about the exposed fibers (22) to fix the

Patent EP-0947464-A1 (EP)
Inventor: POLLACK JACK
IPC: B67D9/02
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a storage structure having a fluid
transfer boom for transfer of cryogenic liquids such as liquified
natural gas (LNG) from a first storage structure to a vessel. The boom
has two arms which are rotatably connected at their first ends via a
swivel joint. In one embodiment a liquified natural gas duct is
supported within the first and second arms which form a gas tight
housing around the liquified natural gas duct. The transfer boom
according to the present invention provides a redundant containment
system wherein the LNG duct is supported by the structurally strong and
self-supporting transfer boom which confines the natural gas in case of
a leak in the inner LNG duct. 
     In a further embodiment the transfer boom comprises seven swivel
joints in total such that rotation in all directions is possible when
the vessel is moored to the storage structure and has to cope with
relative motions of heave, roll, pitch, yaw, sway and surge. The first
arm may be suspended from the storage structure in a generally vertical
direction, the second arm extending between the first end of the first
arm and the vessel in a generally horizontal direction. Hereby a
reliable, self supporting construction can be achieved without the use
of counterweights or tensioning cables. Preferably the swivel joints are
each of a substantially similar construction such that the costs of
manufacture can be reduced. Another embodiment provides for the inner
LNG duct being provided with leak containment means and with deformable
wall parts for allowing thermal expansion.

Dans un aspect de l'invention, l'administration d'un nucléoside ou d'un autre composé permet de réduire la dose administrée d'un médicament principal. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, on traite une anomalie révélée par une augmentation de la réponse dans un groupe de cytokines, par administration d'un nucléoside ou d'un autre composé qui augmente la réponse dans un autre groupe de cytokines. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention encore, un patient reçoit un traitement prophylactique consistant en l'administration d'un nucléoside ou d'un autre composé qui réduit sélectivement l'activité Th1, sans réduire de manière significative l'activité Th2. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention enfin, un nucléoside ou un autre composé est administré à un patient à une dose qui diminue le pool d'acide guanosine triphosphorique du patient à un degré réduisant sélectivement l'une des réponses Th1 ou Th2 sans réduction significative de l'autre réponse. Pour obtenir ce résultat, des formes de dosage par libération régulée sont particulièrement intéressantes.
