Abstract: Heat-shrinkable thermoplastic resin films suitable for use as labels on the bottles, particularly as full labels on the PET bottles, wherein the heat shrinkability in the main shrinkage direction of the film is 5% to 60% after treatment in hot water at 70 DEG C for 5 seconds and 67% or higher after treatment in hot water at 85 DEG C for 5 seconds and the heat shrinkability in a direction perpendicular to the main shrinkage direction of the film is 10% or lower after treatment in hot water at 85 DEG C for 5 seconds. When used as full labels on the bottles, these films can have good shrinkage finish because they cause only rare occurrence of wrinkles, shrinkage spots, and strains during heat shrinkage, and they are therefore extremely useful as full labels.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-cell storage battery including a housing and, enclosing the housing in gas-tight fashion, a housing cover assembly having an upper cover panel and a lower cover panel with a degassing duct between the upper and lower cover panels which encompasses a multiple array of interconnected, mutually matched labyrinth chambers, fluidically links all cells, opens out at a forward end into at least one gas vent, and is closed off by a spark suppressor. To arrive at a storage battery in which adequate degassing is assured under all operating conditions while at the same time any leakage of acid accumulated in the degassing duct is largely prevented even when the internal pressure is high, the invention proposes a design whereby the gas vent is positioned at an essentially perpendicular angle relative to the direction of gas flow through the spark suppressor while in the area between the spark suppressor and the gas vent the degassing duct is provided with a widened section forming a collecting chamber which, when the storage battery is in its normal position, is situated underneath the gas vent.

Abstract: In a process to sterilize enteric nutritional solution packed in stand-up flexible foil bags, the bags are fed to a batch autoclave where they rest on their sides. During the sterilization process, the bags are repeatedly tilted from and returned to the horizontal position. During this process, the bag side-surfaces are supported and not clamped. An Independent claim is also included for an autoclave assembly with tilting shelves (1,1',1) in which the bags are side-supported during the tilting action, allowing air at the top of the bag to migrate to the other side of the pack. Bags are tilted through 10 to 30 degrees preferably 20 degrees preferably 10 to 20 times per minute. Bags rest in the autoclave on perforated trays and are steam-sterilized under varying pressure to effect controlled deformation of the bag profile.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel process for preparing bioartificial hydrogels. This process comprises mixing a bifunctionalized polymer and a protein derived from a vegeral source or milk in an aqueous solution under basic conditions to form a three-dimensional reticulated mixture or gel. Specifically, the novel hydrogels are based on the cross-linking of a protein derived from milk or from a vegetal source (such as casein, hydrolyzed soy protein or hydrolyzed wheat protein) with a biofunctionalized polymer, such as polyethylene glycol or oxide. Preferably, the bifunctionalized polymer is polyethylene glycol. The invention further comprises the hydrogels produced by the novel process and a plurality of biomedical applications based on these hydrogels. These novel hydrogels possess advantageous characteristics, such as shape retention, shape memory, high water content (greater than 95 % (w/w) based on the dry weight of the hydrogel), and good mechanical and optical properties. The hydrogels exhibit additional characteristics -- biocompatibility, controlled release of medications or drugs, hydrophilic surface, oxygen permeability, and controlled porosity -- that should make them highly suitable for pharmaceutical, medical and cosmeceutical applications.
