Abstract: A process for the cleavage of alkylaryl hydroperoxides includes steps for producing a mixture of a concentrate that contains at least one alkylaryl hydroperoxide to be cleaved and a cleavage product obtained from the cleavage of an alkylaryl hydroperoxide, dividing this mixture into at least two parts and cleaving the alkylaryl hydroperoxides in parallel at different temperatures. One of the two parts is treated at a temperature sufficiently high for an integrated thermal post-treatment to be achieved. The process consumes less energy since less steam has to be used. Problems which can result from fouling in heat exchangers are largely prevented. No second feed point for alkylaryl hydroperoxide has to be provided. The process can be used in the preparation of phenol and acetone by the Hock method.

Abstract: A pouch (for example a urostomy pouch or an incontinence pouch) comprises a front wall (22), a rear wall (24) having an entrance aperture (32), and a central partition (36). The partition divides the pouch into an entrance chamber (38) and a collection chamber (40) located one in front of the other. A pad (42) of superabsorbent material is located in the collection chamber (40) and extends above the lower level of the entrance aperture (32). In use, urine entering the pouch is directed downwardly and through a lower permeable region (36) of the partition, whereafter it is absorbed and gelled by the superabsorbent material pad. The urine is also wicked upwardly by the pad (42) so that the full height of the pouch can be used as a liquid-collection region. In one preferred form, the pouch has a figure-of-eight profile, including a waist (66) which helps to control bulging of the pouch, and help keep the pouch flat for an optimum wicking effect. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a body at least partially coated with one or more refractory layers of which at least one layer essentially consist of  alpha -Al2O3. Said  alpha -Al2O3-layer consists of essentially equiaxed grains with an average grain size of < 1  mu m and with a bimodal grain size distribution with coarser grains with an average grainsize in the interval 0.5 - 1 mu m and finer grains with an average grainsize of <0.5  mu m. The Al2O3-layer further contains striated zones containing titanium (>5 at %) but no nitrogen or carbon. This particular microstructure is obtained by temporarily stopping the gases needed for the growth of the Al2O3-layer and introducing TiCl4. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for statistically analyzing QT interval as a function of changes in the RR interval. The system and method utilize three statistical comparisons to fully characterize the QT response: (1) the comparison of curves to give an overall effect; (2) the incidence of points exceeding a baseline upper 95% single-point prediction bound to reflect the degree of heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization; and (3) the magnitude of these points to provide a quantitative assessment of treatment-induced changes in the QT-RR relationship. The system and method use the relationship between the QT interval and heart rate (RR interval) to reference a control baseline response. Data from mammals such as humans and dogs, and pharmacological maneuvers using both cardiac and non-cardiac therapeutic agents, may be used with this multi-parameter statistical system and method. Additionally, the system and method quantifies the incidence and magnitude of points lying outside the upper 95% single-point prediction limit of the regression analysis for vehicle versus treatment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable-torque magnetorheologically actuated prosthetic knee which utilizes a plurality of interspersed and alternating rotors and stators to shear magnetorheological fluid in gaps formed therebetween. Advantageously, by operating in the “shear mode” there is substantially no or negligible fluid pressure buildup or change. Moreover, the multiple MR fluid gaps or flux interfaces desirably allow for the production of a large torque at low speed—eliminating the need for a transmission—and also for a wide dynamic torque range. One embodiment of the invention allows the rotors and/or stators to close the gaps therebetween to create a frictional torque component, thereby forming a “hybrid” braking system which provides a total torque or damping which is a combination of viscous torque and frictional torque.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a container (45''), with an opening (53), whose opening axis (57) is at an angle to the container axis (23), whereby a blank (45) is introduced into a blowing mould (11, 13), a fixing region (47) of the blank (45) pressed against a stop zone (41) on the blowing mould and the blank pneumatically formed in the blowing mould. The fixing region (47) of the blank (45) is pressed against a stop zone (41) on the blowing mould, inclined at an angle other than 90°. The moulding thus occurs such that an opening region axis (58) of the blank (45, 45') is at an angle to the container region axis (59) of the blank (45, 45'). The opening axis (57), of the blowing mould (11), forms an angle to a longitudinal axis (51) of a stretching drift (49), which may be extended along the longitudinal axis thereof. Blanks (54) can be introduced into said blowing mould (11, 13), the container region (55) directionally fixed therein with a stretching drift (49) and the opening region (53) pressed against the inclined stop zone (41) by a pressing piece (33). The opening axis (57) of the blank is thus kinked relative to the container region (59) thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a capacitor bushing (1) to which an electrical operating voltage (UB) is applied and in which a voltage divider is formed with an electrically conductive insert (4), whereby at least one measured value (UM1) of an electrical measured quantity (UM) is recorded and stored by using a measuring tap (7), which is connected to the insert (4), and by using each potential. The aim of the invention is to improve the method so that it is only slightly influenced by changes in the operating voltage. To this end, the impedance (ZE) between the measuring tap (7) and the earth potential is modified after recording the at least one measured value (UM1), and at least one signal value (US1) of a measurement signal (US) subsequently formed is recorded and stored using the measuring tap (7) and the earth potential. The temporal interval between the time of recording of the measured value (UM1) and the time of recording of the signal value (US1) is measured in such a manner that a change in the operating voltage (UB), which potentially occurs between both times, is negligible. The invention also relates to a device for monitoring a capacitor bushing.

Abstract: The invention provides a lithographic method referred to as “dip pen” nanolithography (DPN). DPN utilizes a scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip (e.g., an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip) as a “pen,” a solid-state substrate (e.g., gold) as “paper,” and molecules with a chemical affinity for the solid-state substrate as “ink.” Capillary transport of molecules from the SPM tip to the solid substrate is used in DPN to directly write patterns consisting of a relatively small collection of molecules in submicrometer dimensions, making DPN useful in the fabrication of a variety of microscale and nanoscale devices. The invention also provides substrates patterned by DPN, including submicrometer combinatorial arrays, and kits, devices and software for performing DPN. The invention further provides a method of performing AFM imaging in air. The method comprises coating an AFM tip with a hydrophobic compound, the hydrophobic compound being selected so that AFM imaging performed using the coated AFM tip is improved compared to AFM imaging performed using an uncoated AFM tip. Finally, the invention provides AFM tips coated with the hydrophobic compounds.
