Abstract: A method of manufacturing nuclear fuel elements comprising fuel rods whose cladding tubes are provided with an internal liner layer to obtain PCI resistance in the nuclear fuel element comprises carefully choosing parameters for heat treatment of the inner component even from the machining of an ingot of the inner component. The internal layer of zirconium or a zirconium alloy suitable as inner layer in a PCI-resistant cladding is manufactured, from the fabrication of an ingot of the inner component up to the completion of a cladding tube, comprising forging, rolling, extrusion, heat treatment and final heat treatment, in such a way that the temperature in the inner component never exceeds the temperature when an incipient phase transformation to beta phase takes place.

Abstract: A selector mechanism for a vehicle transmission comprising an automatic transmission coupled to a range-change transmission having first and second ranges includes a ratio selector lever movable along three paths defined by an H-shaped gaze. The first path is defined by a first limb of the gate for shift selection in the automatic transmission with the first range of the range-change transmission selected. The second path is defined by a second limb of the gate substantially parallel with the first limb for shift selection in the automatic transmission with the second range of the range-change transmission selected and the third, transverse, path is defined by a limb of the gate transverse to the first and second limbs. Movement of the selector lever along the transverse path effects a change from one range to the other in the range-change transmission.

Date Jun. 8, 1995A process for producing endoprosthesis has the data block of a three-dimensional actual model (10) of the existing bone structure of a patient acquired using CT scanning. In a computer the actual model (10) thus determined is subtracted from the data block of an existing or CT scan-generated three-dimensional reference model (14). Then from the difference a computer-internal model for the endoprosthesis is formed. With this process, it is possible to reduce the work required for making the corrective adaptation of the endoprosthesis and to avoid faulty adaptations. The data blocks of the actual model (10) and reference model (14) are converted into the data of a CAD free form surface geometry. This is done by describing the limiting surfaces of the models through Spline and Bezier functions oriented to points of support and are imaged, and superimposed, on the computer monitor. This imaging is used to take back segments of the interface (11) of the actual model (10) by displacing points of support toward the volume of the reference model (14).

Abstract: Disclosed are solid, concentrated, amine oxide surfactant compositions containing amine oxide- maleic acid salts. The molar ratio of maleic acid to amine oxide in such salts is about a 1:1. The salts are soluble in water at 25 DEG  C. at a pH of above the pKa of the amine oxide. Also disclosed is a process for preparing such solid amine oxide surfactant compositions, which process comprises admixing maleic acid and amine oxide surfactants in at least about a 1:1 molar ratio, at a pH of at least about 1 units less than the pKa of the amine oxide, to thereby form a visible precipitate therein. The precipitate is separated from the mixture, preferably by mechanical means, and dried. The dried precipitate is a maleic acid-amine oxide salt which can be incorporated into cleaning products, especially solid or granular cleaning products, as a solid, concentrated source of amine oxide surfactant.

In a mixing structure, water from the first pump is mixed with water from the reactor tank with the aid of a second pump in order to produce such a water flow in the radon-releasing structure as results in effective radon release. The radon-releasing structure is in air communication with the surroundings of the reactor tank, so that air, via this air communication, is entrained with the water, which is supplied to the radon-releasing structure via the mixing structure, with a view to admixing air with the water and, hence, releasing the radon.

Abstract: A clamp assembly for clamping a lithographic plate to a cylinder includes a base defining a channel and a plate mounted to the base and overlying the channel. An elongated cam member is rotatably positioned in the channel, the member having a cam surface profiled so that when the cam member is in a first angular position, that surface extends relatively close to the plate and when the cam member is in a second position, that surface is further away from the plate. Stops are included for establishing the two positions of the cam member. When the cam member is in its second position and an edge margin of a recording medium is inserted between the cam member and the plate, moving the cam member to its first position causes the clamp assembly to simultaneously grip and pull on the recording medium. An interposer may be positioned between the plate and the cam member to prevent direct engagement of the recording medium by the cam member and thus prevent the clamp assembly from pulling on the recording medium while clamping the medium.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to various methods for promoting ovulation, parturition and lactation in female mammals. These benefits are obtained by administering to the mammals a composition containing a D2 receptor antagonist that does not substantially cross the blood brain barrier. In one embodiment, the D2 receptor antagonist is domperidone. The domperidone can be administered to the mammal either orally or subcutaneously and can be used to treat, for instance, anestrous mammals, mammals that have problems bearing offspring and mammals suffering from agalactia. Unexpectedly, it has also been discovered that the D2 receptor antagonist may also stimulate feed intake, causing the mammal to eat more and gain weight faster.
