Abstract: Found were a p-aramid microfilament yarn and a process for manufacturing the same. In the p-aramid yarn, which has a yarn linear density of at least 300 dtex, comprising a bundle of filaments with a linear density of less than 0.8 dtex, the g value is higher than 2.5 GPa, the elongation (EAB) is higher than 3.4%, and the L002 value is higher than 350 ANGSTROM . More particularly, the filament linear density is 0.3 to 0.8. The yarn according to the invention has surprisingly favorable properties, such as a high internal shear modulus. The invention also pertains to a process for manufacturing such a microfilament yarn in which p-aramid is subjected to an air gap-wet spinning process of the known type, in which the draw ratio in the air gap combined with the diameter of the capillaries through which the polymer is extruded ensures that microfilament yarn having the desired properties is obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling the introduction depth of an injection needle 1 which is mounted inside a needle introduction device 17, 18 so as to be capable of axial displacement relative to an injection device 12 coupled to said needle introduction device or arranged in the same. The maximum possible run of the injection needle is set to a value H and can be shortened using a cylindrical hollow spacing member 21 which can be concentrically mounted about said injection needle 1. Since the maximum possible run H of the injection needle can be shortened using the spacing member 21, it is thus possible to obtain a penetration depth of variably range. To this end, it is possible to use a series of spacing members 21 having different axial lengths x or a spacing member which can be screwed in a front position. The cylindrical hollow spacing member 21, which is concentrically mounted about the injection needle 1, is easy to press down to the chosen introduction depth into the needle introduction device 17, 18 presently used as it is clicked in or screwed in a front position.

Abstract: A continuous process for producing polyethylene terephthalate polyester from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol uses a stabilizer, preferably containing phosphorous, to produce a high quality polyethylene terephthalate polyester which is relatively free of the acetaldehyde and discoloration which are associated with the post-polymerization activity of a polymerization catalyst. The stabilizer is preferably added at or after the end of the polymerization reaction prior to polymer processing to deactivate the polymerization catalyst and can increase the throughput of the polyester without adversely affecting the thermal stability of the polyethylene terephthalate polyester. Alternatively, the late addition of the stabilizer can increase the thermal stability of the polyester without adversely affecting the throughput of the polyethylene terephthalate polyester.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention are variants of ciliary neurotrophic factor with enhanced receptor selectivity (CNTFR), useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders including motor neuron diseases and muscle degenerative diseases. Another subject of the invention is to provide a method for identifying the above mentioned CNTF variants. The hCNTF variants with the amino acid substitutions in accordance with the present invention, have a reduced ability, as compared to the human CNTF, to elicit biological effects through soluble CNTFR, without affecting its ability to activate membrane-bound neuronal CNTF receptors, thereby improving its therapeutic properties. FIG. 1 shows the reduced CNTFR binding affinity of a CNTF variant according to the invention (IA-CNTF; SEQ ID NO: 2). It is evident that the binding affinity of this variant to the CNTFR is reduced as compared to the wild-type human CNTF molecule.

Abstract: A hydraulic valve is disclosed including a valve body, a pressure inlet port, a return port, and a regulated pressure port. A cavity is formed in the valve body, in fluid communication with the various ports. The cavity comprises a first chamber having a desired first diameter and a second chamber, having a desired second diameter greater than that of said first chamber. A solenoid-actuated spool is movably retained within said cavity for selectively connecting the regulated pressure port to the inlet port and return port in response to an actuation force. The spool comprises a first section, retained within the first chamber, and a second section, retained within the second chamber, and having a respective corresponding predetermined diameters. A fluid passage establishes fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber. Upon actuation of the spool, the chambers become pressurized by the inlet port, and the hydraulic fluid in the second chamber acts on the differential sectional area between the first and second sections to produce a feedback force that opposes the actuation force acting on the spool. This creates a desired spool modulation between the inlet port and the return port, so as to establish a desired regulated pressure at the regulated pressure port.
