Abstract: A vaccum cleaner has a hose (10, 30, 30') that is retractable in length by the application of reduced pressure from the vacuum cleaner. After use, the free end (14, 21, 33) of the hose is occluded so that pressure falls within the hose and it is retracted in length. The hose is restrained in its shortened length before suction is turned off. The hose in its retracted state may be stored on or off the vacuum cleaner.

Abstract: A new circulating form of soluble human tissue factor was identified. This new form of human tissue factor appears to be the result of alternative splicing and is therefore referred to as "alt-hTF." Alt-hTF mRNA was detected in a cell line, HL-60. The cDNA region encoding the entire open reading frame of alt-hTF was cloned. The sequence encoding the alt-hTF mature peptide was expressed in bacteria. alt-hTF consists of the first 166 amino acids of membrane bound TF, and a 40 amino acid C-terminal region unique to alt-hTF. Alt-hTF is likely to be a useful target for compounds to inhibit clotting and to treat disorders associated with elevated TF. It may also be useful as a target for antibodies selectively reactive with alt-hTF, to remove it from the circulation for treatment of clotting or other disorders associated with elevated or abnormal levels of TF, including thrombotic conditions, cardiovascular disorders, DVT, DIC, and possibly metastatic cancers.

Abstract: The method involves using a central unit with server with a first and second data bank, a transmitter/receiver unit for temporary news and an interface for radio exchange. A terminal has a position determining device for periodically determining the rough position data of the train and forwarding same so that the exact position of the train can be calculated by a correlation process in the central unit from the rough position data received and stored in the first data bank. This can then be sent to the interface for radio exchange. In the event of several stretches having normal distances which are less than the expected error in the rough measurement the train is located in a junction area whereby the stretch is determined with the drive plan stored in the first data bank. In the absence of a drive plan the stretch is determined by a frequency parameter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré consistant à appliquer des revêtements antiréfléchissants polymères sur des surfaces de substrat ainsi que les structures précurseurs ainsi obtenues. Les procédés consistent, de manière générale, à effectuer un dépôt chimique en phase vapeur à plasma amélioré (PECVD) d'un polymère sur les surfaces de substrat. Les monomères de départ idéaux sont le 4-fluorostyrène, le 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrène et l'allylpentafluorobenzène. Le PECVD consiste à soumettre les monomères à un courant électrique suffisant et à une pression suffisante de manière à sublimer les monomères afin d'obtenir une vapeur qui est transformée par la suite à l'état plasma par application d'un courant électrique. Les monomères vaporisés sont ensuite polymérisés sur une surface de substrat dans une chambre de dépôt. Les procédés de cette invention sont mises en oeuvre afin d'obtenir des revêtements très enrobants et antiréfléchissants sur des substrats à grande surface ayant des caractéristiques supersubmicroniques (0.25 µm au plus). Ainsi, il est possible d'effectuer un dépôt plus rapide que le dépôt chimique en phase vapeur habituel (CVD), les opérations s'effectuent dans le respect de l'environnement et s'avèrent économiques.

Abstract: The method of continuously processing raw brine with a solids content to obtain substantially solids-free pure brine (E) for use in chlor-alkali electrolysis. In this method the raw brine (A) is separated, by means of a decanter ( 1 ), into a clear brine (B) with a lower solids content and an underflow (C) with a higher solids content, and the entire clear brine (B) and a metered fraction of the underflow (C) are supplied to a backwash pressure filter ( 5 ), from which the substantially solids-free pure brine (E) and a thickened slurry (F) are separately removed. The metered fraction and the clear brine (B) are controlled so that a solids concentration at an inlet to the pressure filter is 5 to 10 times that of a solids concentration in the clear brine (B), which stabilizes operations and increases filtration output.
