Abstract: A novel copolymer of an unsaturated acidic reactant and an atactic vinyl terminated propene polymer (VTPP) and its use in preparation of fuel and lubricant additives is taught. The VTPP has a major amount of polymer chains containing terminal vinyl unsaturation, a number average molecular weight of at least 500, and comprises at least 70 weight per cent propene and 0 to 30 weight per cent of at least one olefin selected from the group consisting of C 2  and C 4  to C 10  olefins. The unsaturated acidic reactant comprises at least one unsaturated C 4  to C 10  carboxylic or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride. An oil soluble dispersant additive of the invention useful in oleaginous compositions is prepared by contacting the atactic VTPP copolymer with at least one nucleophilic reagent selected from the group consisting of amines, alcohols, metal reactants and mixtures thereof under conditions effective to form adducts of the nucleophilic reagent with the copolymer. The novel dispersants made from the copolymers and terpolymers of the invention can be polymeric succinic ester-amide dispersants, polymeric succinimide dispersants, polymeric succinic amide-triazole dispersants, or polymeric succinic triazole dispersants. Fuel and lubricant compositions containing such additives are a part of the invention.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis has a soft, elastic body (1) formed by plastic sheets (2, 3) joined along their common edges (23). A plastic mass (4) enclosed, is formed naturally, both in respect of the front (21) appearance, and the rear (31), which rests against the body. There is a flat section (6) deforming elastically, fastened by its edges to the plastic body (1). A significant new feature is fastening of the flat section (6) away from, and within the common edge (23) of the joined sheets, onto the inside of the plastic body. Also claimed is the method of manufacture, essentially as described. Deep-drawing forms the sheets to simulate the natural shape of the breast. The plastic mass is crosslinked. Preferably the flat section (6) is connected to the rear of the plastic body by a weld seam or adhesion. It is fastened at its edges and fits with the area of the plastic body. This section (6) is made of material. It has a slot opening, reinforced by a material band of the same type at the edges, allowing introduction of filling between itself and the rear of the plastic body. A plastic sheet may be interposed and welded. The plastic sheets (2, 3) are polyurethane. A number of variations are based on the foregoing principles, and involve further materials of construction such as nylon, polyester or cotton, in woven, knitted and/or microfibrous forms.

Abstract: A developing unit includes a housing enclosing a mesh belt stretched across first and
second rollers. The belt passes between a pair of friction plates that can be used to tribocharge
toner particles carried on the mesh belt. Charging occurs over the large width of the entire mesh
belt and the friction plates. Toner is transported on the surface of the mesh belt to a developing
roller which, in turn, transports the toner to the surface of a photoconductor. The configuration
of this developing unit reduces the loading associated with the tribocharging operation and the
belt transport system reduces the volume of the developing unit.

Abstract: A connector for electrically interconnecting a lead of a device to a terminal spaced at a distance from the lead. The apparatus may include a contact engagable by the lead and further engagable by the spaced terminal. An elastomeric element is provided to bias the contact in an original position. As the contact is engaged by the lead, the elastomeric element may deform to permit movement of the contact. It is contemplated that the elastomeric element may be shaped, relative to the contact, to provide at least one spatial relief region between the elastomeric element and the contact. Further, it is contemplated that the elastomeric element may have one or more cavities formed therein to provide at least one spatial relief region. Finally, it is contemplated that the contact housing may be designed to provide at least one spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element. Accordingly, as a force to applied to the contact via a lead or the like, the elastomeric element may become deformed, causing a portion of the deformed elastomeric element to extend at least partially into the at least one spatial relief region. It has been found that by providing even a modest spatial relief region adjacent the elastomeric element, the lifetime of the elastomeric element may be substantially increased.

Abstract: Procédés et compositions permettant de renforcer les propriétés bioadhésives de polymères utilisés dans des dispositifs d'administration de médicaments. Les propriétés bioadhésives d'un polymère sont renforcées par l'incorporation d'un composé métallique dans le polymère permettant de renforcer la capacité du polymère d'adhérer à une surface tissulaire telle qu'une membrane muqueuse. Les composés métalliques renforçant les propriétés bioadhésives d'un polymère sont notamment des composés métalliques non hydrosolubles tels que les oxydes métalliques non hydrosolubles, notamment des oxydes de calcium, de fer, de cuivre et de zinc. Les composés métalliques peuvent être intégrés dans des polymères très divers, notamment des protéines, des polysaccharides et des polymères biocompatibles synthétiques. Selon un mode de réalisation, les oxydes métalliques peuvent être incorporés dans les polymères utilisés pour la formation ou le revêtement des dispositifs d'administration de médicaments, tels que les microsphères, qui contiennent une substance médicamenteuse ou un produit de diagnostic. Les oxydes métalliques peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'une fine dispersion de particules à la surface d'un polymère constituant le dispositif ou le revêtement du dispositif, ce qui renforce la capacité du dispositif à se lier aux membranes muqueuses. Les polymères, par exemple sous la forme de microsphères, présentent une meilleure capacité d'adhérence aux membranes muqueuses, et peuvent ainsi être utilisés pour administrer un médicament ou un produit de diagnostic via l'une quelconque des surfaces de membrane muqueuse, y compris celles des systèmes gastro-intestinal, respiratoire, excrétoire et reproducteur.

Dans un mode d'exécution, le suppresseur d'échos comprend un écrêteur du centre de courant alternatif ayant une fenêtre d'écrêtage à centre de fenêtre réglable. Un seuil d'écrêtage de l'écrêteur du centre est fixé pour atténuer les éléments parasites du signal, et le centre de la fenêtre d'écrêtage est réglé en fonction de la valeur du signal d'information, de sorte que les éléments parasites soient éliminés même quand le signal d'information contient une composante de bruit importante. Dans un autre mode d'exécution, une station radiotéléphonique mobile inclut un microphone pour recevoir une entrée audio d'extrémité rapprochée et pour produire une sortie audio d'extrémité rapprochée destinée à un utilisateur éloigné. La station mobile selon la présente invention inclut également un haut-parleur pour radiodiffuser vers un utilisateur proche de la station mobile un signal audio distant émis par l'utilisateur éloigné et reçu par la station mobile. Un circuit de suppression des échos à l'intérieur de la station mobile est mis en oeuvre pour atténuer une composante d'écho du signal audio d'extrémité rapprochée, si bien que le microphone de la station mobile reçoit une sortie émanant du haut-parleur de la station mobile. Le circuit de suppression d'écho inclut un écrêteur du centre de courant alternatif ayant une fenêtre d'écrêtage à centre de fenêtre réglable.
