IPC: A61K35/12

Abstract: This invention provides novel methods for the formation of biocompatible membranes around biological materials using photopolymerization of water soluble molecules. The membranes can be used as a covering to encapsulate biological materials or biomedical devices, as a "glue" to cause more than one biological substance to adhere together, or as carriers for biologically active species. Several methods for forming these membranes are provided. Each of these methods utilizes a polymerization system containing water-soluble macromers, species, which are at once polymers and macromolecules capable of further polymerization. The macromers are polymerized using a photoinitiator (such as a dye), optionally a cocatalyst, optionally an accelerator, and radiation in the form of visible or long wavelength UV light. The reaction occurs either by suspension polymerization or by interfacial polymerization. The polymer membrane can be formed directly on the surface of the biological material, or it can be formed on material, which is already encapsulated.

Abstract: Orthopedic casts which comprise a casting polymer of melting point Tm which is preferably from 40 to 60  DEG C. The casting polymer is preferably coated onto an elastically deformed fabric, so that the cast recovers when heated to a temperature above Tm. The cast preferably has an air flow permeability of 10 to 35 % resulting from the presence of apertures of area 0.01 to 0.08 cm<2>, so that it can be rapidly heated by means of a hot air gun. Preferred casting polymers comprise a side chain crystallizable (SCC) polymer, particularly one containing units derived from styrene or another high Tg monomer. The addition of certain other polymers, e.g. an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, and/or certain inorganic fillers, e.g. calcium carbonate, wollastonite and talc, results in improved balance of tensile strength and elongation.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for maximizing the recovery of argon at high argon recovery rates from an air separation system having a high and low pressure distillation column containing multiple distillation stages of rectification and having a sidearm column for argon recovery. A compositional measurement is made of a process variable at one or more preselected stages of rectification which have been identified as exhibiting high sensitivity to plant process variations. The total nitrogen content in the argon feed may then be computed by simulated mathematical correlation from such compositional measurement.

Abstract: The switching device has a stationary part (10), which is arranged in a switch cabinet and contains power supply terminals and power distribution terminals (18, 19), a moving housing body and a disconnecting device. The moving housing body is used to accommodate a switch mechanism (27) and an additional device having an electrical auxiliary circuit which is supplied with power by means of wiring which is passed from the stationary part (10) to the moving housing body. The housing body (20) can be disconnected (disconnected position) in DC terms from the stationary part (10), or can be connected in DC terms to it (connected position) by means of the disconnecting device. The wiring has a plug connection which opens during movement from the connected position into the disconnected position and closes during movement from the disconnected position into the connected position. Those parts (105,107;106,108) of this wiring which interact with one another are inserted into mutually opposite side walls (11,A) of the stationary part (2) and of the housing body. The switching device can be accommodated in an extremely space-saving manner in the switch cabinet. During connection and disconnection, the additional connection is automatically connected to the switch cabinet power supply and, respectively, disconnected from it. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A description is given of the design of scaffolding components, such as scaffolding junctions (1) and the associated connection elements (2), for a modular scaffolding of the novel construction type. The invention is distinguished in that the wedge-plug-in connection of scaffolding junctions and connection elements which is known in principle has been further developed such that the wedge-like plug-in elements are designed as straightforward wedge-like webs (6) which are arranged at the two ends of each horizontal spacer member (5) such that the web is fastened in the manner of a transverse horizontal member, seated on the wall of the horizontal spacer member or on a sleeve (4) pushed onto each horizontal-spacer-member end, and the wedge-like webs engage in each case into a pocket (8) of analogous shaping. The main advantage of the invention is constituted by the merits achieved by the vertical frame rigidity, for example reduction in materials and weight, possibility of savings in terms of vertical strutting, cuts in costs and reduction in assembly times. Furthermore, special locking means (12, 13, 14) are provided and supplementary elements (16, 17) are provided in order to absorb lateral transverse forces between scaffolding uprights (3) and connection element (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A video camera (10̸) includes a motion detecting circuit (20̸) in which correlative values of pixels at a present field are evaluated through the comparison of an image signal of a last field and an image signal of the present field. In the motion detecting circuit (20̸), an average correlative value and a minimum correlative value are further evaluated. A microcomputer (26) determines whether or not these correlative values satisfy predetermined conditions for each of detection areas defined within an image field (44). A detection area which satisfies all the predetermined conditions becomes a valid detection area. A whole motion vector is detected by methods different from each other according to the number of the valid detection.

Abstract: A four-stroke internal combustion engine is described in which the piston is axially and rotatably supported in the cylinder. A helically wound positive guide, which for one 360 DEG  revolution impresses four axial reciprocating movements on the piston for the four working strokes, is provided between piston and cylinder. In their peripheral walls bordering on their adjacent faces, the cylinder and the piston each have a combustion chamber half, which at the moment of ignition of the combustion gas complement one another to form a combustion chamber, so that the combustion gas expanding in the combustion chamber exerts a torque on the piston. The piston transmits its rotational movement directly by means of a shaft shank of polygonal cross-section to a drive shaft, which accommodates the shaft shank so that it is axially movable and rotationally fixed. <IMAGE>
