Patent EP-0354748-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COCKRAM DAVID RALPH
IPC: A01G31/00
Filed: 1989-08-07
Abstract: A rock wool growing medium incoporates a surfactant and a sparingly soluble inorganic material, which gradually dissolves in nutrient solution to provide benefit to the plant. The inorganic material may for example provide silica to enhance plant growth or silver which is a fungicide. The incorporation of the inorganic material in the medium avoids the problem of precipitation in supply systems associated with attempts to dissolve such material in a conventional nutrient supply. The inorganic material may be incorporated by spraying or sprinkling onto a primary mat of rock wool 19 through the surfactant spray 24 or by a conveyor 25. Substantially uniform distribution of the inorganic material then occurs during formation of the multi-layer mat 23 and subsequent compression, crimping and air curing.

Patent EP-0426928-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VITULANO MAURO
IPC: B25D9/26
Filed: 1989-10-18
Abstract: The device exploits the striking mass rebound energy, which depends on the hardness of the material on which the tool operates. 
     It is based on the functioning of the device as in the European Patent No. 0085279, and in providing adequate means to vary the distributor stroke during the piston upward-moving phase, as to anticipate or to postpone the percussion phase when the tool operates respectively on a less or more hard material. 
     In this first case, the anticipation of the percussion stroke causes a decrease in the volume of the cylindrical chamber where the pressurized oil works and therefore, under the same power, it causes an increase in the blows frequency, if the working oil flow mantains unaltered.

Abstract: La détermination d'une manière sensible d'enzymes d'hydrolyase, consiste à utiliser des substrats FAD (flavine adénine dinucléotide), substitués, hydrolysés pour former le FAD, à combiner le FAD avec une apoenzyme, et à utiliser l'holoenzyme ainsi obtenue pour amorcer une réaction menant à un produit détectable. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'hydrolase est une phosphatase et le substrat un dérivé phosphorylé de FAD. Les apoenzymes préférées sont l'oxydase d'apo-glucose et l'oxydase d'apo-D-amino acide. La première donne une sensibilité exceptionnelle et la deuxième est adaptée pour une utilisation dans un système d'analyse à ''un seul pot''. Les substrats FAD substitués, comprenant des composés FAD phosphorylés, sont considérés comme étant de nouveaux composés en soi..

Abstract: In the method of the invention, the formability is imparted to the slurry of a metal or ceramic powder by employing a porous mold and removing the dispersion medium through the evaporation or thermal decomposition thereof, or by using a silazane oil as the dispersion medium and curing it by heating. Since the phase change usually accompanying volume change does not occur in the dispersion medium, the strain and deformation rarely occur in the molded body. As a result, the sintered body obtained has a highly dimensional accuracy.
