Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE93/01031 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 11, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 11, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 28, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10445 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994In order to reduce the overall size of serial pump arrangements, several block-disk-like building elements are used. These building elements are made of a non-metallic material and lie against each other with their control surfaces in a sandwich like stack. Two of the block-disk-like building elements have displacement chambers oriented transversely to the axis of the stack, in each of which is guided a push piston. Inflow and outflow bores in which the high pressure mass flow, for example a chemical buffer, is created, extend parallel to the stack axis. Both building elements form two serially arranged pumping units of the serial pump arrangement and ensure a constant and continuous mass flow. Check valves are provided at the suction and delivery sides of both pumping units. Besides saving space, this arrangement ensures a highly constant and continuous mass flow, as the throughflow paths are as short as possible. The building elements may be made of metal-free but highly stable materials, including sapphire. Because of their shortness a minimal dead volume is obtained, and because of the metal-free materials there is practically no elasticity.

Abstract: The method is applied to update, between system calibration operations, the value (134') of a monitored control parameter corresponding to clutch incipient engagement. At calibration, the initial values of the parameter corresponding to full engagement (124), incipient engagement (130) and the difference between (132) are determined, and then the updated value of the parameter corresponding to clutch incipient engagement is determined as a function of a current value (124') of the parameter corresponding to clutch full engagement and the memorized value of the difference (132).

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an automated video cassette library is provided which is actuated in response to command signals originated by an individual at a location remote from such apparatus to transfer a select video cassette in a horizontal plane from a cassette shelf to a cassette player each of which is located in a compact housing. The apparatus is then ready for use by another individual who may select another video cassette for playing upon another video player each of which is located in the same housing. The cassette player plays the video cassette and communicates the recorded program to the individual's television set. Upon completion of each play, the video cassette is rewound and automatically transferred from the cassette player to the cassette shelf.

Abstract: A method of producing a container (201, 231, 350) having a plurality of apertures (eg 202, 232, 352) each containing a respective dose of powdered material, such as a medicament, involves placing an empty container in a position in which its apertures communicate with a reservoir (216, 84) of powdered material. The material is then passed, for example by the flow of gas, from the reservoir into the apertures to fill the latter, and the container is then separated from the reservoir and the apertures are optionally sealed with sheet material (204, 206, 321, 323). Since the apertures are filled, their volume determines the amount of each dose which therefore does not have to be measured prior to introduction into the apertures. The container may comprise a rigid or flexible plate and in latter case can be subsequently rolled into the form of a cylinder for use in an inhaler. Apparatus for performing the method, and an inhaler for use with a cylindrical container, are also shown.

Abstract: beta -Carotene and canthaxanthin, as representative carotenoids, and to a lesser extent, retinoic acid, a representative retinoid, undergo extensive oxidation to yield substances, insofar as oxidized  beta -carotene is a model, which have properties useful as non-toxic agents active against cell proliferation, tumors, and tumorigenic viruses, and useful as promoters of cell differentiation. It is evident from chemical analysis of the highly oxidized  beta -carotene product mixture that none of the various forms of vitamin A are present or are present only in minor amounts. Furthermore, the biological activities of oxidized canthaxanthin and retinoic acid, which cannot form, vitamin A, indicate the presence of active substances that are different from vitamin A. Although the anti-proliferative and differentiation promotion activities of oxidized  beta -carotene resemble those of vitamin A itself, generally the effects are more powerful for oxidized  beta -carotene in a wide variety of circumstances. Unlike vitamin A, the oxidized  beta -carotene of the invention is non-toxic.
