Abstract: In a process for the production of moulded objects, in particular optical lenses, specifically contact lenses (CL), a starting material which can be crosslinked by exposure to suitable energy is introduced into a mould which is at least partially permeable to the energy concerned and has a mould cavity (15). The starting material is introduced in an at least partially still uncrosslinked state into the mould cavity, which defines the shape of the moulded object (CL) to be produced. By exposure to the energy concerned, the starting material is crosslinked to an extent adequate for the demouldability of the moulded object (CL). The filling of the mould cavity is performed with the starting material in an at least partially still uncrosslinked state. <IMAGE>

Abstract: During the production of anionic surfactant-containing granulates having more than 450 g/l apparent weight by granulation of a surfactant preparation composition containing a non-surfactant liquid component, the water required and thus the energy required to evaporate the water may be reduced by separately applying a gaseous medium to the anionic surfactant in its acid form or to a mixture which contains one or several anionic surfactants in their acid form, and to an aqueous alkaline solution, which are then sprayed together or separately in almost stoichiometric amounts under a high propellant gas pressure in the granulating and drying chamber, where they are granulated and at the same time dried, if required with the admixture of one or several inorganic or organic solids.

Abstract: A permselective graft polymer is disclosed that is formed by converting into intermediate reactive sites a portion of the cyano groups of a backbone polymer containing -CH2-CH(-C=N)- units, and grafting polyalkylene oxide polymer chains to the backbone polymer through the reactive sites. Either the backbone polymer of a polymer resin or a permselective polymer membrane can be grafted. When a resin is used, it is formed into a permselective polymer membrane using known methods. The resulting permselective membrane can be formed into hollow fibers or flat sheets for the encapsulation of living cells. The encapsulated cells are then implanted into a patient in need of the biologically active factors produced by the cells. The permselective graft polymer membrane exhibits good molecular diffusion with minimal protein adsorption.

Abstract: A method of mediation of traffic across a particular interface between the Advanced Intelligent Network operated by a local exchange carrier and an outside service provider is disclosed. The particular interface is defined between an application by a non-local exchange carrier service provider for some form of enhanced telephone service requiring use of the Advanced Intelligent Network and a shared execution environment interpreter on the other side of the interface. Mediation is conducted by the shared execution interpreter that is run on a local exchange carrier operated service control point. The shared execution interpreter enforces sufficient rules so that the local exchange carrier does not require knowledge of the details of implementation of the service provider's application. The methodology defines a unique transaction identifier that is defined and known on the local exchange carrier side of the interface. A table is created carrying the unique transaction identifiers with service process identifiers generated by various service provider applications. In this way, the shared execution environment interpreter can pass messages and instructions across the interface to the service provider's application that only reference the application's internally generated service process identifier. This isolates the service provider application from unnecessary information about the operation of the network and the operation of other service providers services. Mediation rules include testing of tables to determine whether a directory number referenced in a message request from a service provider application is a customer of the service provider, whether trunk group routing requests are valid for the service providers and whether any access to, or particular levels of access to, certain network elements are authorised for the service provider requesting same.

In a mixing structure, water from the first pump is mixed with water from the reactor tank with the aid of a second pump in order to produce such a water flow in the radon-releasing structure as results in effective radon release. The radon-releasing structure is in air communication with the surroundings of the reactor tank, so that air, via this air communication, is entrained with the water, which is supplied to the radon-releasing structure via the mixing structure, with a view to admixing air with the water and, hence, releasing the radon.
