Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for preparing heterogeneous catalysts. According to the method, preparation is carried out under such process conditions in which the bonding of compounds from the gas phase onto the surface of a support material is primarily determined by the properties of the support surface. The constituents contained in the reagent are then selectively bonded to the bonding sites of the support material surface, thus forming stable surface bonds. According to the invention, the number of surface-bond sites available for preparing a stable product with surface bonds is controlled by varying the reaction temperature and/or selecting a suitable reagent. The invention makes it possible to control the metal content of the end product at a predetermined level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rubber bearing, in which a liquid-filled working chamber is bounded by an expanding member and by a compensating wall that is capable of moving back and forth in the direction of the working chamber, wherein the compensating wall consists at least partially of a material that is capable of being moved by magnetic forces and extends relatively movably with one partial area into an air gap between a pair of coils comprised of two mutually opposing magnetic coils, which are rigidly supported in two coil braces and are capable of receiving an electric alternating current. The magnetic fluxes of the magnetic coils in the air gap are superimposed upon the magnetic flux of at least one permanent magnet, and the magnetic coils synchronously receive an electric current in such a way that the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet is strengthened on one side of the compensating wall and weakened on the other side of the compensating wall.

Abstract: Cuff electrodes (40a, 40b) are surgically implanted around S3 sacral ventral root nerve trunks (16a, 16b). The sacral ventral roots have smaller diameter nerve fibers (20a, 20b) which convey action potentials to cause detrusor activation to contract the bladder (10) and larger diameter nerve fibers (18a, 18 b) which carry action potentials for causing contraction of a urethral sphincter (12) to block the flow of urine from the bladder. A current source (50) causes current pulses (52) between such electrical contacts (46, 48) and a central electrical contact (44). The current pulses have an appropriate amplitude and waveform to initiate action potentials adjacent the central contact and to block the propagation of action potentials adjacent the end electrodes along the larger diameter nerve fibers (which have fewer nodes between the contacts) but not the smaller diameter nerve fibers (which have more nodes between the electrodes). In this manner, action potentials are electrically excited to propagate at least downstream on the smaller diameter nerve fibers causing contraction of the bladder. Concurrently, blocking action potentials are allowed to propagate upstream on at least the larger diameter nerve fibers, collision blocking naturally occurring action potentials propagating downstream. The transmission of action potentials downstream on the larger diameter nerve fibers is blocked by the current pulses allowing the urinary sphincter to relax.

Date Mar. 4, 1993.Contaminating protein is removed from a water soluble gum such as alginate by dialyzing a solution of the gum against a solution of a disulphide bond reducing agent. Purifying the gum by removing antigenic protein improves biocompatability of the gum for making biocompatible capsules containing cells such as mammalian cells. The reducing agent is preferably dithiothreitol, dithioerythritol or 2-mercaptoethanol. Dialyzing is preferably carried out for more than 1 hour and more preferably twice, each time for 2 hours. Cells are encapsulated by forming a suspension of cells in an aqueous solution of the gum, forming droplets from the suspension, gelling the droplets with a multivalent cation, contacting the gelled droplets with a polymer containing cationic groups, such as poly-1-lysine chloride, that cross-link with anionic groups of the gum to form a semi-permeable membrane around the droplets, and coating the membrane with a layer of the dialyzed gum. Islets of Langerhans cells can be encapsulated for implanting to produce insulin. In addition to encapsulating cells, the purified gum can be used in making dressings, swabs, sutures, stitches, controlled or sustained release devices and artificial vascular grafts that come in contact with body fluids such as blood.
