Abstract: A composition comprising a polyolefin, a polyorganosiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, and calcium silicate where the polyorganosiloxane is cured after mixing using an organohydrido silicon compound and a hydrosilation catalyst to create a thermoplastic vulcanizate, provides excellent fire resistance. In particular such compositions when tested by burning at 40 to 88 kW/m2 external flux generate significantly less heat and smoke, and generate tougher chars compared to polyolefins alone, or mixtures of thermoplastic polyolefin resin, polyorganosiloxane and calcium silicate where the composition is not cured after mixing.

Abstract: A dispensing valve cap mountable to a bottle is provided with a first valve part having a tubular portion having an air inlet, the first valve part further including a fluid outlet spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the tubular portion to form a constant head valve for dispensing fluid from the bottle. A second valve part of the valve movably mounted to the first valve part includes a tubular portion for simultaneously closing both the air inlet and the fluid outlet of the first valve part when fluid dispensing is not desired. The second valve part further includes an air inlet alignable with the air inlet of the tubular portion when fluid dispensing is desired. The dispensing valve cap controls fluid flow from the bottle. The bottle with the valve cap is useable with a dispenser assembly for mixing a concentrated fluid from the bottle with a dilutant. A tamper resistant lock prevents undesired rotation of the second valve part relative to the first valve part. The tamper resistant lock is deactivated upon insertion of the valve cap into the dispenser assembly.

Abstract: A method for assaying specific binding between a fluorophore-labeled probe and an unlabeled target is provided. The method includes detecting a quenching effect on fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore-labeled probe resulting from binding. The method is conducted without separating complexes of the target and probe from the free target and free probe prior to quenching effect detecting, and without providing a signal quenching agent to quench fluorescent light. Preferably, the probe and target are amino acid-containing compounds, such as proteins. The method can be used for a variety of applications, including screening for drug candidates having optimum binding properties, and quantifying and classifying the binding characteristics between peptide-containing compounds. The method is more sensitive than conventional assays, enabling the analysis of minute samples and low affinity binding interactions between receptors and ligands that are below the detection limits of conventional technology.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un instrument chirurgical et un procédé permettant de traiter l'incontinence urinaire d'effort chez la femme. Ledit instrument comprend un élément (10) courbe, ressemblant à une aiguille, qui définit en partie une tige courbe (18) présentant un extrémité distale (17) et une extrémité proximale (19). Un ruban (12) attaché à l'aiguille (10) est implanté dans le bas ventre d'une femme, afin de fournir un support à l'urètre. L'aiguille (10) définit une lumière interne (100) permettant le passage de dispositifs optiques et/ou de fluides. Un système chirurgical optique peut assurer l'interface directement avec l'aiguille ou, alternativement, la pièce à main d'aiguille ou poignée peut être modifiée afin d'accepter le système optique. La pointe de l'aiguille est également modifiée afin de contenir une fenêtre ou un orifice de visualisation autorisant la transmission de lumière du tissu cible ambiant dans la lentille de formation de l'image du système optique. Le système optique permet au chirurgien de garder une visualisation anatomique continue pendant l'introduction et le déplacement de l'aiguille à l'intérieur du bas ventre.
