Abstract: On constate même peu de temps après la fermeture de trous d'homme et de tranchées creusés dans la surface de routes selon les procédés utilisés jusqu'à maintenant un affaissement du matériau de remplissage et un dégravoiement de leurs bords. Afin d'éviter ces dommages, il est proposé de creuser en redans les bords latéraux des trous d'homme (10, 11, 12) ou des tranchées. A cet effet, un dispositif formé d'une remorque (1) susceptible d'être conduite et entraînée sur des routes porte un un agrégat hydraulique (4) capable d'entraîner une lame de scie circulaire montable sur la remorque (1) et un marteau hydraulique. Cet dispositif permet d'appliquer aisément le procédé, en d'autres termes de creuser des trous d'homme (10, 11, 12) et des fossés de dérivation qui non seulement présentent des dimensions exactes et des lignes nettes de séparation, mais aussi ne sont plus susceptibles de se tasser.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roll brake which can be particularly used for braking a film and/or a film roller when pulling a film out of a film roller. The roll brake comprises an eddy-current brake built inside a brake roll and including a rotatable, steel roll jacket (1) which contains a non-rotatable multipolar stator (2). A magnetization current delivered to the stator is used to produce a magnetic field which induces eddy currents in roll jacket (1) during the rotation thereof. The braking force can be made in a desired manner dependent on the speed of rotation.

Abstract: There has been prepared a series of secondary and tertiary amide derivatives of the polyene antibiotic partricin as well as of its single components, partricin A and B, having radicals on the amide nitrogen, said radicals being preferably substituted, in turn, with various amine groups. The synthesis has been carried out by reacting the C-18 carboxyl of the polyene with suitable amines, in the presence of diphenyl phosphorazidate as activator. From said amines, especially those substituted with basic groups, many salts with a good water solubility have been prepared by reacting them with pharmacologically compatible acids. It has been shown that many amines and related salts are more active than, or as active as, the starting product as antimycotic and antiprotozoan agents, while being less toxic and less hemolytic, and can therefore find a useful application in the clinical and veterinary therapy. The compounds can also be used in the treatment of hypercholesteremia and hyperlipemia conditions and of some steroid hormones unbalances, as well as in the pharmacological therapy of hypertrophic prostate, and in the treatment of lipid envelope virus infections.

Abstract: A polyester preform which is injection molded preferably of PET and wherein the preform is provided with a molded neck finish or neck portion including threads which are molded to a high tolerance and wherein the neck finish may receive a closure cap of the type having a tamper indicating band which engages over a retaining bead also molded to a high tolerance as part of the neck finish. In order to maintain the container which is blow molded from the preform in axial alignment with the neck finish and thus eliminate the perpendicularity problem, a ring of the preform immediately below the flange which functions as the capping ring, is heated to a high temperature and crystallized. In a like manner, the end sealing surface is also heated to a high temperature and crystallized. The remainder of the neck finish remains in its amorphous state without disturbing the configuration of either the threads or the retaining bead. This combination of crystallized portions with the remainder of the neck finish remaining amorphous assures a high quality connection between a closure cap, whether the closure cap is formed of plastic or metal, while providing the end sealing surface with a hard tough finish resisting deformation and at the same time reducing the closure cap removal torque.

Abstract: There is described an assay system for the assessment of unoccupied specific ligand binding sites on proteins in biological fluids. The assay is carried out with a multilayer assay element and is based on the principle of equilibrium distribution in which a ligand distributes itself between unoccupied sites on the proteins and the remainder of the element. The ligand can be labeled with a detectable moiety or it may be unlabeled and detected through the use of another detectable species. In one embodiment the assay format is utilized to estimate the number of sites on thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) which are not occupied by thyroxine (T4) or triiodothyronine (T3).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a catalyst for polymerization of olefins, said catalyst comprising an inorganic support material with catalytically active chromium and titanium compounds bound on its surface. The catalyst is prepared according to the invention by bringing the catalytically active metal compounds sequentially in vapour phase onto the support material surface in excess amounts in relation to the binding sites available on the support material surface. The support material temperature is maintained above the condensation temperature of the vapour, preferably above 160 DEG C, and simultaneously sufficiently high so as to achieve the thermal activation energy necessary for the generation of bonds between the support material and the catalytically active material or its compound. To avoid desorption of the chemisorbed compounds, the temperature is kept below approx. 500 DEG C. The activity of a catalyst in accordance with the invention even with very low contents of the catalytic metals is as high as the activity of a catalyst of multiply higher metal contents that has been prepared by the methods of the conventional technology.

Abstract: State of the art/technical problem: When a connection is set up by a switching network 20, the path is selected according to the instantaneous switching network utilisation and is maintained during the connection. The problem of eliminating local blockages through rearrangement of existing connections is not adequately solved due to interferences which thereby occur. Fundamental concept: To provide for ATM with virtual connections the same devices as those which guarantee the correct sequence in connectionless operation. Solution: An output unit 30 is connected downstream of each output of the switching network which guarantees the correct sequence. Advantage: Virtual connections can be adapted at any time without interference to the instantaneous switching network utilisation. The guarantee of the correct sequence can be implemented in such a way that delay jitter is also largely eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A track circuit is disclosed, the receiver (E) of which carries out, for the purpose of track-release indication, a cross-correlation between a track voltage tapped off on the track (GL) and a reference voltage which is derived from the transmission signal of the track circuit transmitter (S) or generated separately. The maximum of the cross-correlation is sought by receiver (E) and compared with a predetermined threshold value. An embodiment with purely digital operation uses a track current source as transmitter which is controlled by a completely modulated transmission signal which is read out cyclically from a ROM. A microcomputer serves for calculating the cross-correlation function in the receiver (E) and for evaluating and tracking the maximum. The reference voltage is generated with the aid of a further ROM in the receiver (E) which is programmed in the same way as the transmission-side ROM. <IMAGE>
