Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for minimizing Coulombic losses in impactors and an impactor, in which Coulombic losses have been minimized. The method according to the invention is based on restricting the force effect of the charges accumulated in impactor's insulators on the charged particles. This restriction of the force effect can be realized, for example, by placing an electrically conductive surface between the insulator and the flow, or by forming an insulator so that the force effect is minimized.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of interferon alpha 5 in the treatment of viral hepatopathies. The invention describes the reduced synthesis of IFN alpha 5 in the livers of patients with hepatitis C in comparison to healthy livers. The sub-type of IFN expressed in said healthy livers corresponded only to the subtype alpha 5 in comparison with the different sub-types expressed in ill livers. The sequence SEQ ID NO:1 shows the partial sequence of cDNA corresponding to IFN alpha 5. These significant differences between the expression patterns of some livers an others demonstrate the importance of the use of such interferon sub-type in the fabrication of compositions useful in the treatment of viral hepatopathies. The invention discloses in details such utilization in different forms and processes, including those which use the production of recombinant proteins from sequences of the type SEQ ID NO:1.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: A composition including polyalphaolefins that function as drag reducing agents and a process for the preparation of polyalphaolefins that function as drag reducing agents are disclosed. The process includes contacting alpha olefin monomers with a catalyst system. which includes a catalyst and an activator (co-catalyst) in a reactant mixture. The catalyst is a transition metal catalyst, preferably titanium trichloride, and the co-catalyst may include an alkylaluminoxane, alone or in combination, with a dialkylaluminum halide or a halohydrocarbon. The polymerization of the alpha olefin monomers produces a non-crystalline, ultra-high molecular weight polyalphaolefin having an inherent viscosity of at least 10 dL/g. The addition of the alkylaluminoxane during the polymerization process provides for a non-crystalline, ultra-high molecular weight polyalphaolefin and a more uniform molecular weight distribution of the resulting polyalphaolefin, thereby creating a drag reducing agent superior to known drag reducing agents. A process for forming a drag reducing agent comprising a non-crystalline, ultra-high molecular weight polyalphaolefin having an inherent viscosity of about at least 10 dL/g and a process for reducing drag in a conduit are also disclosed.
