Abstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is amplified in 40% of malignant gliomas and the amplified genes are frequently rearranged. The genetic alterations associated with these rearrangements are characterized in five malignant gliomas. In one tumor, the rearrangement resulted in the deletion of most of the extracytoplasmic domain of the receptor, resulting in a hybrid mRNA between new sequences and the truncated EGFR. The predicted amino acid sequence of the protein from this tumor was remarkably similar to that described for several viral erb-B oncogenes. Four other tumors were noted to have internal deletions of the EGF receptor gene. These rearrangements brought about in-frame deletions affecting either of two cysteine-rich domains in the extracytoplasmic portion of the molecule. The clonal nature of these alterations, and the fact that identical alterations were seen in more than one tumor, suggests a role for these mutant receptor proteins in tumorigenesis. Furthermore, these studies document the existence of tumor specific cell molecules resulting from somatic mutation.

Abstract: In an electrical half-shell connector, especially a half-shell earth-contact connector, which consists of a connector bridge and a pair of mutually connected plastic half shells, which are constructed in a mutually complementary manner, for covering the connector bridge, the plastic half-shells and the connector bridge (with its contact and connection pins) are constructed in a mutually complementary manner such that the plane formed by the contact and connection pins lies at right angles to the separating plane of the plastic half-shells. This results in increased mechanical strength and, in consequence, increased electrical safety. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method according to the invention consists in using a technique of infiltration of binder metal (16) in a layer filled with grains of tungsten carbide (15), the said layer being disposed between the moulding walls of a mould (13) and a core (2) of a body, the moulding walls of the mould consisting of foundry sand bound by resins. The actual infiltration is achieved by heating the whole to a temperature which is higher than the melting temperature of the binder metal and lower than the melting temperature of the tungsten carbide particles. The invention makes it possible to reduce the cost of the infiltration method.

Abstract: The transport method described makes possible transport of printed products, in particular printed products in the form of an overlapping flow, at constant or changeable rate over transport runs of any length, which can also contain rising or falling parts and curves in the direction of transport. The method is based on the fact that each individual printed product or small group of printed products is transported by one transport element over a step length (S), which is small when compared with the overall transport run, and is then taken over by a following transport element, while the first transport element is moved back to its starting point again. This process is repeated in a cycle with the temporal cycle length (T). The corresponding device consists of a stationary support and of a large number of transport elements which are driven in a clocked manner. A transport run can comprise a large number of transport modules, no transfer units being required between the individual modules. All modules of a transport run work in the same cycle.

Abstract: A spiral-wound pervaporation module, designed to achieve optimum permeate flow throughput. The module is of conventional design and construction, in that it incorporates membrane envelopes, within and between which are channels through which the feed and permeate streams flow. The feed and permeate channels are created by spacers on the feed and permeate sides of the membrane layers. The module is unconventional in that the permeate spacer is tailored for optimum permeate flow throughput. The tailoring is based on the discovery that the total permeate flow throughput from a module passes through a maximum as the resistance to vapor transport of the permeate spacer material is progressively decreased. The resistance to vapor transport along the permeate channel is kept below a value at which it has a significant adverse effect on the membrane flux and the membrane separation properties, yet at the same time the total module throughput is within an optimum range. When modules in accordance with the invention are made, the increase in throughput per unit membrane area that is obtained more than compensates for the loss in membrane area brought about as a result of the use of a thicker permeate spacer. The modules are particularly advantageous for containing high-flux, high-separation membranes, and for low-pressure pervaporization processes.

Abstract: For the continuous manufacture of a randomly patterned floor covering from vulcanisable elastomeric material, a short screw extruder with a length/diameter ratio of 6:1 is continuously fed with two or more differently coloured strips of vulcanisable elastomeric material. The operating temperature is adjusted to 60 to 100 DEG C, the delivery rate to 400 to 600 kg/h. The elastomeric material emerges from the extruder via a die plate with 200 to 600 cylindrical boreholes, the diameters of which are each 3 to 5 mm. The resulting strands are cut off at a distance of 1 to 2 mm in each case to form shaped parts which fall directly into the nip of a heatable and coolable two-roll calender. The material emerging from the calender is fed to a continuous vulcanisation system and emerges from this as finished floor covering.

Abstract: Coffee aroma gases are conveyed to a cryogenic collector in which liquid nitrogen is sprayed directly into the aroma gas stream to rapidly condense the aroma gas and form finely divided particles of coffee aroma frost suspended in a stream of nitrogen gas, while minimizing contact of the cooled gas with the walls of the collector. The suspension of aroma frost particles in gaseous nitrogen is passed through a tubular porous filter to remove the aroma frost particles which collect on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the nitrogen gas passing through the porous filter and being exhausted from the collector. The porous filter is periodically back pulsed to dislodge aroma frost particles collected on the outer surface of the tubular filter, with the particles being recovered for incorporation in soluble coffee products. <IMAGE>
