Abstract: A closed spectacles case (1) consists of two lateral elements (6) and an enveloping element (11) made of an elongated sheet of thin, resilient material having at its one end a section which is bent into cylinder sector form to constitute an end surface (5) of the case, a planar or slightly curved section which forms the bottom (8), a section which has been bent into cylinder sector form to constitute a second end surface (4), a planar or slightly curved section which forms the cover surface (10) and a section at the opposite end of the elongated sheet which has been bent into cylinder sector form to constitute a hooked locking means (9). The two lateral elements are permanently joined with those portions of the elongated sheet which constitute the bottom and the two end surfaces and brace these sections whereby they provide a solid bottom portion of the case. The unbraced portion forms a resilient cover (3) of the case.

Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises an inner tube which rotates within an outer tube and carries a surgical tool that includes a burr for cutting tissue exposed to the burr through an opening in the outer tube. The instrument includes several features which enhance the efficiency at which tissue fragments severed by the burr are aspirated through the inner tube, and which enable the burr to effectively cut relatively soft tissue as well as harder tissue such as bone. For example, the burr includes a proximal shank having a wall that has an aperture therein with a substantial width relative to an outer diameter of the wall for conveying tissue fragments cut by the burr into an interior chamber of the shank, and thence into a passage in the inner tube. The opening in the outer tube is axially elongated sufficiently to expose a major portion of the aperture. The large aperture and its exposure by the outer tube opening reduce the risk of clogging by admitting larger tissue fragments into the inner tube for aspiration. Additionally, the burr includes a plurality of grooves that are axially elongated and inclined transversely to the flutes, and the grooves define a plurality of axially spaced notches in each of the cutting edges. The notches divide the cutting edges into relatively small segments that produce correspondingly small tissue fragments (even when the burr is used to cut soft tissue) to further reduce the risk of clogging. In addition, the cutting edges are preferably provided with a positive rake that makes the cutting edges sharper and suitable for effectively cutting, rather than tearing or shredding, relatively soft tissue.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of high quality unsaturated dimethylesters by reacting dicarboxylic anhydrides, typically maleic anhydride or phthalic anhydride, with methanol. The process is characterized by the fact that the esterification is performed in two steps, the step 1 consisting in a non catalytic reaction of formation of monomethylesters, and the step 2 consisting in the catalytic reaction of formation of dimethylesters from the monomethylester, the said catalytic reaction taking place in a reactor consisting of a multi-tray column where the liquid phase containing the mono and diester mixture flows downwards from each tray coming to contact with a progressively drier upflowing stream of vapors in countercurrent, which continuously removes the water formed in the reaction from the liquid phase. The process uses an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid with an alkyl radical containing from 10 to 13 carbon atoms as esterification catalyst.
