Abstract: Metal oxide heteropolycondensates of tin and boron, particularly heteropolycondensates of this type wherein the major amount of the metal oxide is tin oxide, and a minor amount is boron oxide. The quantity of boron oxide is sufficient to enhance the conductivity of the composition. The heteropolycondensate compositions can be used to prepare antistatic coatings, layers and films. The layers and films can be applied to a substrate using low process temperatures. A preferred substrate is photographic film.

Abstract: One-handed operable biopsy needle instruments, employing combined spring driven stylets, and cannulas, capable of taking multiple specimens while the other hand is free, e.g. to manipulate an ultrasound probe are described. The particular biopsy needle instrument shown in detail has a pair of cannula and stylet compression springs, a pair of members directly engaged on the ends of the springs mounting respectively the cannula and stylet, and releasable holding means for holding the springs compressed until firing. The device that loads the stylet spring and a pivotal latch each can serve as a means for releasably holding the stylet spring. A latch is employed to releasably hold the cannula spring. Actuation of the stylet can cause sequential operation of the cannula through impact of the stylet-mounting member on the cannula latch. Finger-displaceable means provided on a side surface of the housing for selective loading of the springs, and provision of finger-displaceable lock and firing button, all operable by a hand while that hand holds the device, enables single-handed loading and taking of the biopsy specimen(s). The embodiment shown employs a pair of longitudinally arranged, recessed thumb-actuated slide switches on a broad side of a rectangular cross-section housing, and lock and firing button on top, in pre-arranged relationship to the bevel of the stylet tip.

Abstract: A diffraction grating providing an optically variable image includes a pixellated diffraction grating in which each pixel is an individual optical diffraction grating so that the pixellated diffraction grating when illuminated generates an optically variable image. In another aspect the grating in some or all of the pixels of a diffracting grating formed by a regular matrix of pixels is arranged such that a reproduction of the grating by reflection contact printing generates a zero-order pattern which is grossly flawed by Moire or Talbot fringe effects. A method of forming the diffraction grating includes producing a counterpart pixellated diffraction grating of a substantially optically invariable image wherein each pixel of the optically invariable image is maped to a respective pixel of the pixellated diffraction grating. Each grating pixel is an individual optical diffraction grating of the associated pixel in the optically invariable image, so that the pixellated diffraction grating when illuminated generates an optically variable reproduction of the optically invariable image.

Abstract: Un capteur directionnel sismique à l'écoute des géobruits comporte au moins un géophone présentant une caractéristique directionnelle prononcée. Les signaux électriques de mesure d'oscillation obtenus dans différentes positions angulaires périphériques de l'axe longitudinal radial du géophone et comparés les uns avec les autres sont en corrélation avec la direction d'un faisceau sismique qui s'étend perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal du géophone qui est inopérant dans sa position angulaire périphérique neutre. Cette dernière est déterminée à partir des quotients des amplitudes des signaux de mesure, qui sont déterminés des deux côtés au voisinage de la position angulaire périphérique neutre dans des positions angulaires périphériques actives du géophone. La courbe d'oscillation de chaque signal de mesure est en opposition de phase avec celle de l'autre côté. Le capteur directionnel sismique est d'une construction simple, facile à mettre en ÷uvre et peut être manipulé de la même manière dans toutes les circonstances pour obtenir des mesures précises.

Abstract: The gene library of human antibodies is taken from a mixture of human B-lymphocytes. Their mRNA are converted into cDNA using oligo-dT primers. The cDNA specific to antibodies are amplified by PCR with suitable oligonucleotide primer sequences. Using an expression of the antibody-specific cDNA in a bacterial expression vector, e.g. in E. coli, a human antibody library is produced with a wide range for screening with selected antigens in vitro.

Abstract: The specification is directed to a novel process for juice and pulp products especially suitable for acidic and difficult fruits whose juices and pulps are susceptible to browning or unpleasant catch flavours. A broad aspect of the invention involves the addition of an acidic sweetening agent whose pH is less than 7 to fruit juice or pulp. Further improvements to the product may be obtained by the chilling of the pulp or juice soon after breaking of the whole fruit occurs as well as by eliminating or preventing broken seed and skin material in the juice/pulp. The addition of pH buffers and/or pH adjusting agents may further improve the product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The movable wall of a machine for the continuous casting of metals onto one or between two such walls is formed basically of a good heat-conducting metal 1 providing a base and carries, distributed on its surface, excrescences 4 of the said base metal that conducts heat well, and, between these excrescences, intermediate zones 5 consisting of an added metal whose heat conductivity is less than that of the said metal of the base. To form this wall, the surface of the metal forming the base is given a predetermined relief, there is deposited on this surface a layer of the metal forming the intermediate zones to a thickness greater than the height of the said relief, and the coating thus formed is machined down until the peaks of the said relief appear. The invention applies in particular to the walls of cylinders for continuous casting between two cylinders or onto one cylinder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sliding gate valve assembly which has a stationary refractory plate mounted to a mounting plate and secured there by the force pressed against it exerted by another refractory is disclosed. A clamp ring is provided which has extending ears, each of which is bored to ride on a clamp spring assembly. Yieldable means, preferably a coil spring, surrounds the shank of the clamp spring assembly guide shank and engages the underside of the ear and rides in the main frame. When the main frame is closed, pressure is urged on the spring which, in turn, transmits the force to the clamp, the tapered inner edge of which engages the tapered outer edge of the stationary plate. The method of the present invention depends upon utilizing the clamping force of a valve assembly having a main frame and in which yieldable means are provided between the main frame and the mounting plate to urge a continuous clamp ring into engagement with the bandless stationary plate having tapered sidewalls.
