Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for obtaining tocopherols and sterols from natural sources, in particular plant sources. In particular, this process is a process for separating tocopherols and sterols from vapour condenser fats by distillation of these vapour condenser fats by esterifying the sterols present in the vapour condenser fat with the likewise present fatty acids before distillation, distilling the resulting mixture for the purpose of recovering residual fatty acids and subsequently for the purpose of recovering tocopherols, the sterol esters formed during the esterification remaining in the residue of this distillation, and then isolating the tocopherols from the distillate and the sterols, after cleavage of their esters, from the distillation residue.

Abstract: Texaphyrins are provided for use as radiation sensitizers. Advantageous properties of texaphyrins for use as a radiation sensitizer include: i) a low redox potential which allows radiation-induced hydrated electrons to flow to texaphyrin rather than neutralizing hydroxyl radicals, allowing hydroxyl radicals to cause cellular damage, ii) a relatively stable texaphyrin radical that reacts readily to covalently modify neighboring molecules causing further cellular damage, iii) intrinsic biolocalization, and iv) indifference to the presence or absence of O2. These properties allow texaphyrins to be particularly effective for treating the hypoxic areas of solid neoplasms. Methods of treatment for an individual having a neoplasm or atheroma include the use of a texaphyrin as a radiation sensitizer and as an agent for photodynamic tumor therapy, or the use of a texaphyrin for internal and for external ionizing radiation. Novel texaphyrins are provided.

Abstract: A traffic beacon apparatus has an upper portion comprising a panel member which is attached in an upright position by coupling member to base pedestal. The coupling member is a hollow shell structure formed of an elastic material. The panel member attaches to a top of the coupling member by bolts and barbed projections which are inserted into slots in the top of the coupling member. The coupling member has a flange along a lower perimeter thereof which couples with the base pedestal. The elastic material of the coupling member is more flexible than the panel member which is formed from a relatively stiff material. Apertures are formed in opposing sides of the coupling member to define a bending portion. Sides of the coupling member disposed between the apertures flex and bend when the traffic beacon is struck by a vehicle. Due to the elastic nature of the coupling member material and the positioning of the apertures, the coupling member permits the panel member to be bent down in a collision and then return to the original upright position.

Abstract: A shoe press roll for a paper machine which, together with a backing roll, forms a press nip through which a press jacket guided over the shoe press roll travels together with a paper web. The shoe press roll comprises a press shoe which can be pressed by at least one hydraulic element against the backing roll. The hydraulic element is developed as a cylinder/piston unit that acts between a stationary support member and the press shoe. The unit includes a first pressure chamber which can be acted on by hydraulic pressure and is in communication via a small diameter throttle point passing through the piston with a second pressure chamber which is open toward the press shoe. The edge of the piston rests with a sealing surface against the press shoe. Hydraulic pressure is transmitted from the first pressure chamber under approximately static conditions, to the second pressure chamber through the throttle point and thus to the press shoe. Should the press shoe tilt permitting pressure to escape from the second chamber at the shoe, the throttle point prevents rapid continuous flow of hydraulic pressure out of the first pressure chamber. The tilting produces a pressure drop in the second pressure chamber which causes the press shoe to apply itself against the cylinder/piston unit as a result of the external pressure applied from the first pressure chamber.
