Abstract: The template is mounted in the place of the ophthalmic lens on the grinder to be calibrated. It has the general shape of a disc being circular on a part of its periphery (22). There are locally two sharp points (23), circumscribed by the same circumference (C), which are angularly separated from each other by 90 degrees . In the smallest (A'1) of the two subtended angles at the centre (A'1,A'2) delimited by the sharp points the disc contour is concave. The circumference which circumscribes the two sharp points on its periphery then extends into its circular part (22A). The two sharp points result from the intersection of the disc circular part with a notch (22B) cut into its periphery.

Abstract: Container/dispenser for a liq. or gel prod. and a propellant gas comprises a closed reservoir (2) with a cylindrical neck (4) on which a dispensing head (5a) is mounted. The container has a safety element to prevent an accidental excess of pressure inside the container, which comprises an elastic retaining spring (7) round the neck of the reservoir which seals the dispensing head in place while the pressure inside it is below a given level and creates a space between the head and the neck once the pressure rises above the set level so that the container is linked to the ambient atmos. The spring can be in the form of a spiral or a rubber ring. The safety element also incorporates a ring (8) round the base of its cap, engaging via a thread with an inner sliding retaining ring, while the spring fits between the retaining ring and a radially-projecting collar (41) on the container neck.

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide is dehydrogenated to generate a HS group and an S group. The HS group is oxidized to generate sulfuric acid, which is bonded to a metal. The S group is polymerized with a CH 3 S group to generate methyl trisulfide or methyl tetrasulfide, which is adsorbed to an adsorbent. Methyl mercaptan is dehydrogenated, for example, to generate a CH 3 S group. A portion of the CH 3 S group is oxidized to generate methanesulfonic acid, which is bonded to a metal. Another portion of the CH 3 S group is polymerized with the CH 3 S group itself to generate methyl disulfide, at least a portion of which is adsorbed to an adsorbent. Still another portion of the CH 3 S group is polymerized with the S group to generate methyl trisulfide or methyl tetrasulfide, which is physically adsorbed to an adsorbent. In this manner, malodor components including hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan can efficiently be removed without producing harmful secondary products.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus (10) for automatically conducting peritoneal equilibration testing. The method involves removing a sample of overnight dwell fluid from a patient in an amount sufficient to determine the concentration of a metabolite in the drain fluid. The concentration of the metabolite in the sample is then detected and the overnight dwell fluid is drained and weighed. A known weight of dialysate fluid is instilled into a patient and thereafter there are periodically withdrawn samples of the dialysate fluid and the concentration of metabolite in each sample is determined. The ratio of metabolite concentration of each of the periodically drawn samples to metabolite concentration for the overnight dwell fluid is determined. The patient is then drained after a predetermined dwell time and the volume of drained dialysate is determined. The mass trasnfer area coefficient of the patient's peritoneal membrane is then obtained as a function of the measured  variables. Means (10) are provided for conducting the method for each of the steps described.

Abstract: L'invention consiste à faire réagir des N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkylamines telles que la N-méthyl glucamine présentant une couleur de Gardner de moins de 1 avec des sources de groupes acyles gras, tels que des esters méthyliques, des anhydrides, et/ou des acides gras présentant une transmittance supérieure à 98 % à 460 nm dans des solvants organiques hydroxy tels que le méthanol pour obtenir des amides de N-alkyl polyhydroxyamines d'une couleur satisfaisante. Lesdites N-alkyl polyhydroxyamines peuvent être purifiées par cristallisation et/ou soumises à un blanchiment par réduction pour en améliorer la couleur. La réaction s'effectue de préférence à basse température pendant de courtes périodes et avec de faibles quantités de catalyseurs afin de réduire au minimum la quantité de produits cycliques. L'amide résultant peut subir une autre purification consistant à le traiter par des résines échangeuses d'anions et de cations pour éliminer les impuretés (savons et amines). Les résines échangeuses d'anions se régénèrent facilement par acidification, puis lavage par un solvant organique.
