Inventor: AMEISEN JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: A61K38/20
Filed: 1992-03-23
Abstract: Ce médicament peut contenir: soit un agent capable de bloquer la réception ou la transduction de signaux conduisant au suicide des cellules, soit un agent apportant ou générant un cosignal permettant à la cellule de se différencier et de se multiplier normalement, soit un agent qui à lui seul entraîne la prolifération et la différenciation cellulaires et génère des cellules qui ont perdu la capacité à se suicider dans des conditions pathologiques, soit un agent capable d'inhiber les signaux qui rendent une cellule susceptible de répondre à une activation, par une apoptose pathologique. De tels médicaments peuvent être utilisés dans le traitement des maladies liées au rétrovirus, et en particulier liées aux lentivirus tels que le virus HIV chez l'homme.

Title: Absorbent foam materials for aqueous body fluids and absorbent articles containing such materials.
Inventor: DESMARAIS THOMAS ALLEN
IPC: C08F12/00
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: Disclosed are absorbent foam materials suitable for use as or in the absorbent cores of absorbent articles, such as diapers which absorb and retain aqueous body fluids. Such foam materials comprise hydrophilic, flexible open-celled structures which are preferably prepared by polymerizing high internal phase (HIPE) water-in-oil emulsions. Such foam materials have a pore volume of from about 12 to 100 mL/g, and a capillary suction specific surface area of from about 0.5 to 5.0 m2/g. These materials also exhibit a resistance to compression deflection such that a confining pressure of 5.1 kPa produces after 15 minutes a strain of from about 5% to 95% compression when the material is saturated at 37 DEG  C. to its free absorbent capacity with synthetic urine.

Abstract: This method of moulding, in particular of moulding a cap (1) with decorative beads (8, 10) made of plastics other than the plastic forming the casing (2), the hinge (5) and the cover (6) of this cap, is noteworthy in that it uses just one mould associated with a press having injection cylinders allowing perpendicular injections, in which mould are defined a first mould cavity having the dimensions of the main body or casing (2) of the cap, and a second side mould cavity having the dimensions of the cover (6) in the open position, having a mould cavity for the connecting hinge (5) level with the top (3) of the first mould cavity which includes the pour-hole (4). This top is surmounted vertically by a first punch (11), the front face of which makes the pour-hole and covers over this top as far as a peripheral step (9), which is formed during the first phase of injection of a first plastic for moulding the casing (2), the hinge (5) and the cover (6), as a result of the presence of the front edge of a first annular ram (sliding element) (12) surrounding the punch (11) and extending, in the initial position, beyond the front face of the latter by the amount of the step (9). This step is adapted to house a first decorative bead (8) which will be moulded in the second injection phase, following the first phase, in which a second plastic is injected after immediate return or retraction of the ram so that its front edge is then located level with the front face of the punch when the second injection phase commences. <IMAGE>
