Abstract: Disclosed is an intumescent curable composition which contains as a resinous binder a flexible polyepoxide resin. The polyepoxide is cured with an appropriate curing agent adapted for the particular resin. An additive component is present which contains a mixture of materials which provide a source of     (i) zinc,   (ii) boron,   (iii) phosphorus, and (iv) an expansion gas upon thermal decomposition. The composition is capable of forming a carbonaceous char upon exposure to heat or flame, with the proviso that the cured, unburned composition has sufficient flexibility that it passes at least 10 continuous cycles of a cold cycle test without cracking. The cold cycle test involves the following steps: the composition is applied at a thickness of 0.5 inch (12.7 millimeters) to a 10 inch (0.254 meter) section of a 4W13 I-beam having two thermocouples attached to the surface, allowed to cure at ambient temperature for 16 hours, force cured for 5 days at about 60 DEG C and subjected to the cold cycle test. For one cycle, the beam is placed in a freezer operating at a temperature between about 0 DEG F (-18 DEG C) and about -10 DEG F (-23 DEG C) for sufficient time for the steel to reach a temperature between about 0 DEG F (-18 DEG C) and about (-10 DEG F) -23 DEG C as determined by the two thermocouples attached to the surface of the beam beneath the coating, removed from the freezer and a 50 square inch area (0.0323 square meter) of the surface warmed as shown in FIGS 1 and 2 by passing a heat gun (Model No. HG 50146, Alpha Division of Loral Corp, 14 amp: minimum temperature at tip 500 DEG F (260 DEG C)) a distance of 0.5 inch (12.7 millimeter) from the surface, uniformly over the surface until the surface temperature reaches 110 DEG F (43 DEG C) within a 3 minute period, as determined by a thermocouple moved about the surface and allowed to stand for at least 2 hours at ambient temperature.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is directed generally to a DNA sequence coding for human cyclin A and in particular to antibodies, or antisera including such antibodies, which bind to human cyclin A as encoded by the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 and which are useful in detecting cellular proliferation. The antibodies of the invention can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and are preferably generated by injection of purified human cyclin A into an animal host. The invention is particularly advantageous because it has been discovered that the gene encoding for human cyclin A is a site for integration of the hepatitis B virus associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, and by detecting human cyclin A through the use of the antibodies of the invention, one can detect and diagnose cell proliferation. Through the use of the present invention, cell proliferation and tumorigenesis can thus be detected at early stages, and such conditions can then be treated or inhibited by the use of anti-sense human cyclin A DNA.

Abstract: In the ball pushing device according to the invention, a motor 3, via a crank 4, moves a ball pushing blade 5 which is guided in the longitudinal direction in a guide device 7. The ball pushing blade 5 is mounted in such a way that it is lowered into the ball flow when the crank 4 is rotated, then transports the balls portion-by-portion in one direction during further rotation of the crank 4, and is then retracted into a higher position above the ball flow. A ball pushing device of this type is used in particular for transporting balls in grinding and lapping machines for the production of balls, in which the balls are fed from an annular magazine between two machining discs and are returned from there again into the annular magazine. In the process, the ball pushing device is inserted at the transition points between the annular magazine and the machining discs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a lamp, in particular number plate lamp, which can be attached to the vehicle and has a rectangular upper housing component which contains the lens and a lower housing component which closes the lamp from behind and bears the electrical terminals and contact components for the filament lamp. Two slots, extending in parallel with one another, are made in the short side walls of the upper housing component. The tongues formed by the slots have at their free ends hooking and/or catch means which, in cooperation with corresponding catch and/or hooking means in the edge of the lower housing component, form a detachable connection. Between the long side walls of the upper housing component there are connecting walls which extend near to the catch and/or locking means. The connection walls produce, in cooperation with the long side walls of the upper housing component, a separation of the interior space of the lamp which continues via a protruding web located on the lower housing component. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of casting high-alloy steels on bow-type continuous casting plant, the molten steel being passed through a water-cooled mould from which a superficially solidified steel strand emerges and is cooled for further solidification by subjecting it to coolants, it is deflected in an arc over supporting rollers and is then bent back again out of the arc into the horizontal by a multi-point bending device. The invention envisages calculating the straightening force for the straightening of the arcuate steel strand from the high-temperature properties of the steel determined in hot tensile tests and the temperature profiles of the steel strand calculated from surface temperatures. A setpoint/actual value comparison of the calculated and the actually measured straightening force is used to regulate the casting conditions and cooling in such a way that the steel strand is treated in the gentlest manner possible in the straightening process, allowing surface cracks to be largely eliminated.
