Abstract: A non-equilibrium C8 aromatic-feed mixture is selectively isomerized to obtain an isomerized product enriched in para-xylene by contacting the feed in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst containing a combination of a platinum group component with an SM-3 acidic crystalline silicaaluminophosphate molecular sieve at C8 aromatic isomerization conditions. The SM-3 molecular sieve is enriched in framework silicon at the surface, resulting in a greater yield of para-xylene compared to prior art processes.

Abstract: A system for delivering two types of particles to a target within the body of a patient. A proton beam therapy system produces a beam of protons that is directed from a nozzle towards a target isocenter located within the body of a patient. The beam of protons can pass directly to the patient or pass through a neutron source comprised of a plate of neutron-rich material. Collisions between some of the protons and neutrons cause neutrons to be emitted from the material thereby generating a multiple particle beam comprised of both protons and neutrons. Preferably, the neutrons comprise only a small percent of the total particles in the beam. In the preferred embodiment, the neutron source is comprised of a plate of Beryllium that is interposed between the nozzle and the patient.

Abstract: A threaded closure for pressurized containers, typically for carbonated beverages is disclosed. The closure includes a deformable liner of non-vinyl polymer which is cold formed in the closure using known techniques in such manner that the liner physically bonds to the inner surface of the end wall of the closure to be retained thereby in the absence of a peripheral lip or projections on the inner surface of the end wall of the closure. The closure itself may be either injection molded or compression molded. The usual tamper indicating ring is formed to include frangible bridge members either by molding or a separate slitting operation. The pivotally mounted tabs for separating the tamper-indicating ring are sufficiently rigid to avoid flexing at points other than at an outer edge hinge axis where pivoting is possible only to a limited degree, thus assuring the severing of the frangible bridge members at an early stage of opening of the closure.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for matching a load and a power source, such as an r.f. power source for a vacuum plasma processing chamber, includes a match network coupled between the power source and the load. The match network has at least two controllably variable electrical characteristics. A sensor is provided that senses at least two parameters of the load. A drive controller responds to the sensed parameters of the load to independently control varying a first one of the electrical characteristics of the match network as a function of only one of the parameters of the load, and a second one of the electrical characteristics of the match network as a function of another one of the parameters of the load. This is done until the power source and the load are in a matched condition. The separation of the match variables to establish a nearly one-to-one correspondence with the load parameters allows independent adjustment of the match variables to provide fast and unambiguous reaching of the matched condition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of preparation and the composition of a water soluble extract of the plant species Uncaria. The present invention is also directed to the pharmaceutical use of the composition for the enhancement of the immune, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and DNA repair processes of warm blooded animals. The present preparation of the water soluble extract of the plant species Uncaria results in the depletion of many of the ingredients which lead to various toxic side effects associated with other extracts or compositions derived from Uncaria. Also, the present preparation leads to the depletion of many of the active ingredients commonly associated with other extracts and compositions of the plant species Uncaria. Therefore, the present invention teaches that the hot water extraction of the crude plant parts of Uncaria and the subsequent dialysis of the solubilized products yields a low molecular weight composition which maintains a high degree of the anti-tumor, inflammatory and immune stimulatory activities associated with the crude plant parts.
