Patent CS-217992-B2 (CS)
Title: Method of making the di-n-propylvinegar acid
Inventor: CHIGNAC MICHEL
IPC: C07C53/126
Filed: 1981-02-11
Abstract: Di-n-propyl acetic acid is obtained in higher yields by hydrolysing di-n-propyl acetonitrile with concentrated sulphuric acid at an elevated temperature to form di-n-propyl acetamide and then reducing the concentration of the sulphuric acid in the reaction mixture and refluxing it at a generally higher temperature to convert the acetamide into di-n-propyl acetic acid. Recovery of the acid product is advantageously effected by the passage of a steam jet through the reaction mixture, since this enables a purer product to be obtained, in particular a product containing a smaller quantity of valeric acid as impurity.

Filed: 1983-03-09
Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: A tractor (10) includes a hitch (26) for pulling a ground-working implement. A hydraulic cylinder (34) is extensible and retractable to lower and raise the implement. A control syytem (50) senses operating parameters, including wheel slip, engine speed, draft force and implement or rockshaft position. Error signals are derived from the sensed wheel slip, engine speed and draft force and correspond set point signals. The error signals are combined into a composite or combined error signal. The larger of (a) the combined error signal and (b) a separately determined position error signal. is selected and converted to a pulsewidth modulated valve control signal which is applied to a control valve (42) which then actuates the cylinder to move the implement to reduce the magnitude of the selected error signal. Certain set point signals are derived from the corresponding parameter signals themselves.

Title: Methods for enhancing functional recovery following central nervous system ischemia or trauma
Inventor: CHARETTE MARC F
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1997-03-21
Granted: 2000-10-12
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for treatment of mammals afflicted with an ischemic or traumatic injury of the central nervous system. The present invention capitalizes in part upon the discovery that administration of a morphogen to such a mammal provides significant improvement in central nervous system function, even when administered after central nervous system tissue has been damaged. The methods involve the administration of dimeric proteins defined as morphogens, inducers of these morphogens, or agonists of the corresponding morphogen receptors, or implantation of cells stimulated by exposure to the morphogens. The proteins defined as morphogens comprise a structurally and functionally distinct family within the TGT- beta  superfamily. Osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1) is considered to be an exemplary and preferred member of this morphogen family.

Abstract: This apparatus is for testing valves, particularly those adapted for controlling incontinence. Microprocessor computer equipment and programs use specialized test programs and interface equipment to permit the operator to control, display and record a sequence of valve tests using screens, icons and keyboard entries. The tests are either directly computer controlled or computer directed. A manual mode permits the user to enter a specific valve test pressure versus time profile, while an automatic mode permits the user to have the profiles tests repeated automatically by the computer. Both modes provide liquid at controlled pressure to the valve under test and determines the valve's corresponding liquid output rates.
