Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel crystalline form of low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate). This crystalline form may be produced from molten or glassy low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) material by means of rapid heat transfer to or from the material. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) composition is suitable for use as a starting material for solid-state polymerization in order to produce polymers of higher molecular weight. A higher molecular weight polymer product having a unique physical form can be produced by solid-state polymerization of the low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate).

Abstract: A coiled spring system taking advantage at a maximum level of the pressure occurring within the cylinder which extends the momentum arm, for the internal and external combustion engines with piston including those with spark-plug ignition. In this system, the coiled spring is in a closed state when the piston is at the upper dead point. While the piston descends towards the lower dead point, the spring eccentrics try to push the connecting rod center upwards. However, the piston pushes the connecting rod downwards due to the pressure created by the explosion, therefore the eccentrics also push the crank downwards and rotate the crank shaft. In this system, the crank shaft shall hold the piston at a point nearer to the upper dead point, as compared with a traditional engine, by means of the eccentric and thus the pressure shall be higher at every position. Furthermore, since the rotation diameter of the crank axle journal will increase while the course (stroke) is constant, the momentum arm and therefore the power torque shall also increase.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved child-resistant container closure assemblies comprising a container neck and a closure. The closure comprises an inner part (350) and an outer part (310), whereby the outer part (310) must be axially displaced relative to the inner part (350) by pressing down on the outer part (310) in order to unscrew the closure from its fully secured position on the container neck. The risk of accidental unscrewing of the closure without depression of the outer closure part is reduced by the provision of a first retaining means on the container neck and a second retaining means (358) on the inner closure part (350). The first and second retaining means engage at said fully secured position, and resist loosening of the closure from the fully secured position until a predetermined minimum release torque is applied to the inner closure part (350). <IMAGE>

A steel sheet base (30), laid on the concrete, has a circular opening on which a vertical tube (28) is welded. A polyurethane receptacle (28) passed through the tube has an internal surface fitting the shape of the saddle. During vibration the liquefied concrete is prevented from rising up the tube by the sheet and receptacle and forced into the insert cavities.

Abstract: A procedure is claimed for disinfecting the hydraulic circuits of dialysis machines. An inlet (E) of a dialyser connects to the water supply. Lines (1, 2, 4a, 4b, 26) are reconfigured for machine operation, by connection to various consumables. During disinfection, the lines are shut off and interconnected as a closed network. The reservoir (40) connects near the inlet and contains concentrated disinfectant (I). Water and (I) are discharged into the circuit in set proportion, forming a bactericide (BC). The novelty is that when the circuit is full, influx is stopped; then the circuit is emptied. Intentionally, (I) remains in the reservoir, to which water is added, forming a second liquid, which with further water, is then admitted to the circuit as a bacteriostat (BT) which can remain there for at least 12 hours without causing corrosion. The circuit is left filled with BT.

Abstract: A therapeutic agent capable of binding to the F'-G' loop of domain 4 of the common  beta c chain of the receptor for GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5. The amino acid Tyr<421> which is located in the F'-G loop is critical in the high affinity binding and stimulation of function of GM-CSF, IL-3 and IL-5 to the common  beta c chain of their receptors. Other receptors for cytokines also show hydrophobic amino acids in analogous positions and it is probable that they too will play a pivotal role in binding of respective cytokines to them and in modulating function. Agents capable of binding to the F'-G' loops are suggested and should be of therapeutic value.

Abstract: A flexible, multilayered transfer tape is described which contains an auxiliary support, a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and a binder containing a white-pigmented transfer layer having greater adhesion to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than to the auxiliary support. The transfer layer, which contains a binder in addition to a white pigment, is present between the auxiliary support and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The transfer tape is characterized in that a non-white pigment is present in finely dispersed form in either or both of a polymer-bonded interlayer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The polymer-bonded interlayer may be situated between the white-pigmented transfer layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or in the white-pigmented transfer layer itself. Such transfer tapes have significantly improved covering capacity as compared to transfer tapes in which only the white-pigmented transfer layer is tinted.
