Inventor: KREBS MICHAEL
IPC: C09J175/04

Granted: 1998-12-02
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/03216 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 27, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 14, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/06124 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 29, 1996The invention relates to polyurethane compositions with a low content of monomeric diisocyanates. Trifunctional isocyanates optionally reduced in their functionality to 3.0+/-0.7 with a monofunctional terminator are preferably used for this purpose. In this way, the compositions contain considerably smaller quantities of readily volatile isocyanates. The compositions are suitable for use as reactive hotmelt adhesives, lamination adhesives, adhesive/sealing compounds, primers and for the production of foam plastics from non-reusable pressurized containers (aerosol cans). The low content of volatile monomeric diisocyanates enables the need for safety measures in the workplace to be significantly reduced, in addition to which the disposal of residues remaining in the containers is made considerably easier.

Date May 30, 1996Composition comprising DNA associated with a polycation moiety wherein the polycation moiety is itself coupled to an integrin receptor binding moiety is disclosed. Preferably, the integrin receptor binding moiety is a peptide, and the compositions can be used to deliver DNA to a cell where it will be expressed, for example, to treat a condition by gene therapy. In a preferred embodiment, the integrin receptor binding moiety comprises a peptide, in particular a cyclic peptide, comprising the sequence RGD. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the peptide comprises the sequence GGCRGDMFGC. Cyclic configuration in this sequence is imposed by virtue of the presence of two cysteine residues which can form a disulphide bond.

Abstract: The information network has an optical link (L) and a multiplexers (θ i) for transferring messages (Mi,Mj) between nodes (Ni,Nj) which comprises a sub-unit of the network. The messages are contained in defined time intervals by a clock signal (SP) and each node has an input (Ei) connected to the link for receiving messages by detection of at least one specific signal wavelength. Each node has an output connected to the link to allow emission of messages which are wavelength modulated. The network is characterised by each node for which provision is made to carry messages to be output at a specific wavelength and have associated with them respective tags (Dij) for identifying the destination nodes for the message. The network controller is connected to the link and is conditioned to receive messages and tags emitted by each node and to re-emit or transmit the received messages towards the input of the destination node. The retransmitted messages are output at a wavelength corresp. to the reception wavelength of the destination node identified by the tag. Each node has a different reception wavelength.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing a molded ophthalmic lens from between the mold portions in which it is produced. A source of intense electromagnetic radiation is applied to at least one of the mold portions in a predetermined scanning pattern through the intermediary of galvanometer-driven mirrors. Differential expansion of the heated mold polymer relative to the cooler polymer shifts one surface with respect to the other, and the shear force breaks the polymerized lens/polymer mold adhesion and assists in the separation of mold portions. The greater the temperature gradient between the surfaces of the mold portions, the greater the shearing force and the easier the mold portions separate. The heated back mold portion is promptly removed so that very little energy is transferred to the polymer lens, avoiding the possibility of thermal decomposition of the lens.

Abstract: A system (10) provides direct automated access to an online information services provider (34a-34n) through an address embedded in a video or audio program, commercial message, or news story. The system operates with video or audio programs which are received through broadcast, cable or pre-recorded media, and which are encoded in either analog or digital formats. The address of an online information provider is encoded in a vertical blanking interval or other non-displayed portion of an electronic signal which represents the video or audio program so as not to interfere with the program as displayed or transduced on a television (22) or audio sound (26) system. The online information provider address is detected (42) and decoded from the electronic signal and used in establishing a direct digital communication link (32) to the online information provider. Upon detecting an online provider address, the system indicates (46) to the user that more information is available. The user may then elect to establish a connection with the online information provider by giving a simple command, e.g., pushing a special button on a remote control (56). The system then automatically establishes a direct digital communication link (32) to the online information provider through the address and provides for interactive information exchange and processing to permit signals received from the online information provider to be displayed on a conventional television (22), transduced on a sound system (26), or also on a high resolution reproducing system (40) such as a computer monitor, or other reproduction device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock or the like has a housing (1) which contains a pawl (2) for a latch (3), and a force transmission chain (7) which extends from an outer handle of the door and preferably also from an inner handle of the door to the pawl (2) for actuating the pawl (2), triggering the latch (3) and opening the vehicle door. A controller (11) arranged in the housing (1) or optionally in its own housing has the settings 'locked', 'unlocked', and optionally 'anti-theft' and 'child-proof locked'. The setting 'locked' opens the force transmission chain (7) to the door outer handle and closes it to the door inner handle, the setting 'unlocked' closes the force transmission chain (7) to the outer and inner door handles, the setting 'anti-theft' opens the force transmission chain (7) to the outer and inner door handles and the setting 'child-proof locked' closes the force transmission chain (7) to the outer door handle but opens it to the inner door handle. The controller (11) has a control disk (12). This motor vehicle door lock is considerably simplified, as far as the controller is concerned, in that the control disk (12) has several control cams (13, 14, 15, 16) distributed around its circumference for the various settings, and in that the force transmission chain (7) has a control section (17). In each position of the control disk (12), a control cam (13; 14; 15; 16) interacts with the force transmission chain (7) in the control section and triggers the corresponding function.
