Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique destinée à augmenter les cellules de défense hôtes non spécifiques et conçue pour mieux éliminer les micro-organismes. Cette technique utilise toute particule biocompatible phagocytosable pour amorcer les macrophages en vue d'une réponse oxydative améliorée et d'une meilleure élimination des bactéries. Des patients peuvent bénéficier de macrophages amorcés dans une période d'un à quatre jours, et des expérimentations ont prouvé que le potentiel oxydatif a été multiplié par plus de 100 dans cette période. La réponse oxydative et le potentiel d'élimination sont non immunospécifiques (ni un microorganisme, ni un vaccin), et peuvent généralement s'appliquer simultanément aux bactéries et aux virus ainsi qu'aux cellules tumorales. Il s'avère que les effets ont une durée de sept jours, ce qui donne des effets résiduels non toxiques pour les tissus et un potentiel d'utilisation répétée à des intervalles mensuels.

Title: Process for preparing low molecular-weight poly-1-olefins
Inventor: BOEHM LUDWIG DR
IPC: C08F4/635
Filed: 1994-01-03
Abstract: A catalyst formed by reacting a magnesium alkoxide dispersion whose particle size is from 100 to 3000 nm with a compound of a metal from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, vanadium and chromium and then with a chlorine-containing organoaluminium compound has very good hydrogen sensitivity and high activity even in the presence of molecular weight regulators such as hydrogen. This makes the catalyst highly suitable for the preparation of low-molecular-weight polyolefins. The catalyst enables the preparation of waxes having a reduced residual ash content. The large particle diameter and the low fines content of the polymer powder prepared by suspension polymerisation using this catalyst enable ready separation and drying of the suspension medium. The catalyst is furthermore advantageous in solution polymerisation and, due to the large particle diameter, can be used in gas-phase polymerisation for the preparation of low-molecular-weight poly-1-olefins.

Abstract: In the passage of a steel strip through a continuous strip treatment plant, the "good side" of the strip is occasionally turned, for the purpose of checking, from the bottom side to the top side, or vice versa. Between stations of the plant, the strip is introduced into a strip-turning tower and is guided in the latter successively over vertically spaced upper and lower deflection rollers, being twisted in the process from roller to roller by in each case an angular amount, in such a way that between strip entry and strip exit it is set into any desired angle and is occasionally twisted in such a way that, after deflection through 180@, the bottom side of the strip on entry into the first roller is turned to the top side of the strip on exit, and vice versa. The device provided for this has a strip-turning tower (20), of similar construction to a vertical looping store, with a number of vertically spaced upper (21) and lower (22) strip deflection rollers, the rollers being arranged rotated in the running direction of the strip (30) from roller (21) to roller (22) by angular amounts (Phi1 to Phin), in the same direction, relative to the strip entry axis (x-x), in such a way that the strip (30), on winding round in each case one roller pair formed by a lower (22) and an upper (21) roller, is twisted by the angular amount (Phi) and if all of the twisting angular amounts are added up it is eventually turned through 180@. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to fluorinated surfaces which exhibit sufficient hydrophilicity and sufficient electropositivity to bind DNA from a suspension containing DNA and permit elution of the DNA from the surface. Generally, the hydrophilic and electropositive characteristics are expressed at the fluorinated surface. Preferred fluorinated surfaces of the present invention include fluorinated Al(OH)₃, fluorinated SiO₂ and fluorinated Celite. The fluorinated surfaces of the present invention are particularly useful in processes for purification of DNA from other cellular components. In these processes, a suspension of cellular components is placed in contact with the fluorinated surface, the fluorinated surface is washed to remove all cellular components other than DNA which are bound to the surface, and the bound DNA is eluted from the surface. Lower concentrations of chaotrope in the binding buffer are needed to bind DNA to the fluorinated surfaces.

Abstract: A relay satellite receives, from ground stations, modulated high-frequency signals, lying in two different frequency bands. One of the modulations is narrow-band and the other wideband.

The user stations receive this multiplexed signal, and, by filtering, extract the pseudo-carrier modulated in narrow band, which can be made use of in order to demodulate, in phase, the multiplexed signal, so as to recover signals which carry the wideband modulation. <IMAGE>
