Title: Process and device for the internal and/or external coating of metal sheet for three-part can bodies
Inventor: FREI MATTHIAS
IPC: B32B15/08
Filed: 1994-08-01
Abstract: Can bodies are produced by rounding a sheet-metal blank into a tube shape and welding it along the edges in contact with one another. The sheet is generally coated at the same time on what will be the inside to make it possible, for example, for it to hold food. However, there must be no coating where the weld is produced because, otherwise, the welding process may be affected in a disadvantageous way. Accordingly, the coating must be applied to the sheet-metal coil in a form corresponding to the subsequent can format, as a film for example, and this is expensive. According to the invention, the coating is applied in the correct format immediately before the welding process, allowing the coating to be applied continuously in an amount just sufficient and to the extent required to meet the current demand. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for indicating spinning-station faults and for qualifying them is proposed. Also proposed is a method for recording and evaluating faults which have occurred on a yarn-spinning station, according to which the abovementioned fault indicator can operate. In order to increase the operating effectiveness of the spinning machine and in order, when a fault occurs in the yarn or in another electrical or mechanical device of the spinning machine, to induce a reaction appropriate to the hierarchy or quality of the fault indication, the parameter signal of the yarn obtained from a measuring device (20) is fed to an evaluation stage (21, 22) which transmits the fault-indication signals. These are assigned to fault groups (A, B, C, D) predetermined in an assignment section (23) provided directly at the spinning station. The output signals from the assignment section in each case represent a group of faults which (automatically) induce graded fault-elimination reactions. <IMAGE>

IPC: A61K31/60

Abstract: The current invention involves a new treatment for human atherosclerosis. It concerns primary as well as secondary prevention of atherosclerosis by a pharmaceutical composition of vitamin E and acetylsalicylate. The development of atherosclerosis is suppressed at three different levels using this particular composition : 1) reduction of oxidation of LDL, in vivo, by vitamin E, 2) stabilization of endothelial cellmembranes by vitamin E making these cells less vulnerable to oxidation and 3) the anti-platelet action of acetylsalicylate which prevents platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and cytokines release which decreases inflammatory reactions and smooth-muscle-cell proliferation. An accidental advantage of the composition is the relatively small amount of acetylsalicylate that is needed when combined with vitamin E. This is quite important in view of the dose-dependent side-effects of acetylsalicylate. For these reasons, the composition can be expected to be effective and safe. It can be used widely against atherosclerosis and should be considered an additional weapon against atherosclerosis along with the reduction of known riskfactors such as hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes mellitus. The composition is designed to treat and/or prevent diseases arising from atherosclerosis such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attacks, stroke and claudicatio intermittens.

Abstract: A coating of metal and its oxide can be used to provide susceptor properties. By reactively evaporating a metal such as aluminium in the presence of oxygen using a slight excess of aluminium, it is possible to produce, over a narrow range of stoichiometry, a material which shows microwave susceptor properties. 
     A microwave susceptor barrier film may be made in this way, which comprises a plastics film having a coating thereon comprising an essentially uniform mixture of a metal and its oxide, the amount of metal being slightly in excess of stoichiometry, whereby the coated film has susceptor properties. Such a film may be used as a foodstuff package for microwaving, wherein the film is so located in the package as to brown or crisp the surface of the foodstuff therein during microwaving.

Abstract: This invention relates to an object detection system and device for detecting objects located on storage sections, and in particular a lower storage section, of a moving shopping cart. The system and device comprise a detecting means wich detects objects on the storage sections of shopping carts when the shopping cart moves into a predetermined position. The detecting means generates a detection signal if an object is detected. The detecting means operates in response to a trigger signal which is sent from a triggering means. The triggering means is operable to sense at least one, and preferably two parts of the shopping cart when the shopping cart moves into the predetermined position. The triggering means sends the triggering signal when it senses the presence of a cart or other body. The preferred triggering embodiment senses three spaced-apart portions of the cart, to minimize erroneous operation of the system by objects other than a cart of predetermined character.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un inhibiteur de l'activité de NO, tel qu'un piégeur d'oxyde nitrique ou un inhibiteur de synthase de NO, utilisé comme thérapie anti-tumorale destinée a réduire l'oxygénation et le flux sanguin d'une tumeur. L'invention concerne également l'administration d'un piégeur d'oxyde nitrique ou d'un inhibiteur de synthèse d'oxyde nitrique afin d'augmenter l'efficacité de la thérapie anti-tumeur à l'aide d'agents chimiothérapeutiques hypoxiques ou acides ou d'une hyperthermie. De plus, l'invention concerne l'administration d'un substrat de synthèse d'oxyde nitrique à un sujet auquel l'on a préalablement admnistré un inhibiteur de synthèse d'oxyde nitrique, afin d'inhiber sélectivement l'irrigation de la tumeur. Dans un exemple spécifique, l'administration d'hémoglobine exempte de cellule, d'un piégeur d'oxyde nitrique, conjointement avec une mitomycine C, une cytotoxine hypoxique, a pour effet de retarder significativement la croissance d'une tumeur d'une xénogreffe tumorale humaine chez une souris comparée à la mitomycine C seule. Dans un autre exemple, l'administration d'un inhibiteur de synthèse d'oxyde nitrique suivie de l'administration d'un substrat de l'enzyme provoque une réduction spécifique irréversible du flux sanguin de la tumeur, tandis qu'un flux sanguin normal est rétabli.
