Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-microbial cosmetic compositions for the care
of the human body or parts thereof, comprising derivatives of histatins or fragments
thereof. It has been found that the anti-microbial activity of histatins or their
fragments can be significantly enhanced by capping them at the C-terminus or at
the C- and N-terminus and/or complexing them with anti-microbially-active metal
ions. The thus modified histatins and histatin fragments were found to have a
significantly increased activity against a range of microbial strains, and were found
to be useful as controlled delivery agents for the metal ions. They are suitable for a
whole range of anti-microbial applications, such as anti-plaque, anti-caries, anti-bad
breath oral applications, deodorant applications, personal hygiene applications and
so on, for which they are included in any suitable carrier medium. Preferred are
the capped derivatives, which have been complexed with Ag, Cu, Zn or Sn.

Abstract: A curable organopolysiloxane composition that
maintains flowability under moisture-free and light
blocking conditions is described. It more rapidly
forms a nonflowable adhesive when irradiated with high
energy beams such as ultraviolet rays and electron
beams, and forms an elastic body by further curing when
exposed to atmospheric moisture. A method for adhering
a substrate to an adherend using the composition is
also claimed. The curable organosiloxane composition
has a viscosity of 3,000 Pa.s or less and is made up of
a silicone resin containing no alkenyl groups, a
polydiorganosiloxane having terminal units containing a
mercapto group, an alkenyl-containing
organopolysiloxane, and a condensation catalyst. An
assembly which has a substrate adhered to an adherend
is made by spreading the composition on the substrate,
irradiating it with a high energy beam, contacting the
irradiated surface with an adherend, and letting it
stand in air, so that the substrate is adhered to the
adherend.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and apparatus for
the rapid generation of a snapshot copy of the data stored
in a RAID storage subsystem (100). In addition to the
user's configured RAID logical units (110), the present
invention provides for the definition within a RAID
controller (102) of a logical RAID level-one device (104)
having an operational half (106) comprising the user's
defined logical unit(s) and having a non-operational mirror
component (108). The user access data is stored on the RAID
subsystem by direct access to the user's defined logical
unit and when a user directs a snapshot copy request to the
operational half (106) and user defined logical units (110),
the RAID controller (102) responds by temporarily
configuring available storage capacity (e.g. spare disk
drives) in the RAID subsystem to perform the function of the
non-operational mirror component (108) of the logical RAID
level-one device (104). Restoring operation of the non-operational
mirror component (108) further causes the RAID
controller (102) to rebuild the content of the restored
mirror component by copying the content of the user's
configured device(s) to the temporary replacement mirror
component (124). Following completion of the rebuild
operation, the logical RAID level-one device (104) is
restored to the status of having a non-operational mirror
component (108). The data copied to the temporarily
reconfigured available storage capacity is then returned to
the user requesting the snapshot data for further processing
as, for example, backup.

Abstract: A switched-mode power supply for energizing a cold-cathode
fluorescent lamp ("CCFL") includes a first semiconductor switch
connects in series with a primary winding of a step-up transformer.
The primary winding and a secondary winding, having many more turns
than the primary winding, are disposed about a transformer core
which has a linear magnetic permeability. A series connected
second semiconductor switch and capacitor connect in parallel with
the transformer's primary winding. A controller circuit transmits
signals to turn the switches on and off. The controller circuit
turns the first and second semiconductor switches on and off at a
frequency that is higher than a resonant frequency of a parallel
resonant circuit formed by the primary inductance of the transformer
and capacitance of the capacitor. A decoupling capacitor
connects in series to a first end of the transformer's secondary
winding. A second terminal of the decoupling capacitor and a
second end of the secondary winding provide ac power output
terminals for the switched-mode power supply across which a CCFL
may be connected.

Abstract: A guide rail for stretching calipers used especially in film stretching machines comprises spring steel bands of constant width connected together in the transverse direction by supporting members (3) of the film stretching machine. Outside the supporting member (3) at least one of the steel bands (1a) acts as a spring transverse to the length of the guide rail (1). In an alternative version a spacer is located between two spring steel bands and connected to the supporting members leaving the free ends of the steel bands to form springs transverse to the rail length. A stretching machine, especially for biaxial stretching of thermoplastic films, has two upper and two lower pairs of horizontal guide rolls which are in permanent contact with the sprung free ends of the guide rail bands (1a) irrespective of the operational condition of the stretching calipers. Preferably the spring component (1a) arches outwards from an imaginary middle axis over the entire length of the guide rail (1), the inner radius of curvature being  NOTLESS  3000mm. One or more of either the outer or inner steel bands may act as the spring component. In the alternative version the spacer may be symmetrically or asymmetrically located between the spring steel bands and has a lower height than the latter.
