Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger system (10) for exchanging energy between two liquids. Said system comprises an inner part (11) in the form of a heat exchanger comprising a stack of plates (13, 14) having exchanging channels for guiding the liquids, and openings (16, 17, 18, 19) which form distribution and collection guiding elements (21, 22, 23, 24) for both fluids through the stacked arrangement of the plates (13, 14), said guiding elements being essentially perpendicular to the exchanging channels. In a first part of the plates (13), the exchanging channels open up into the distribution guiding element (21) and into the collection guiding element (22) for the first liquid, and in a second part of the plates (14), the exchanging channels open up into the distribution guiding element (23) and into the collection guiding element (24) for the second liquid. Said system also comprises an outer part (12) for receiving the inner part (11), and lines (25, 26, 27, 28) for supplying and evacuating both liquids. Connections (29, 30, 31, 32) are established between the lines (25, 26, 27, 28) and the distribution and collection guiding elements (21, 22, 23, 24) when the inner part (11) is arranged in the outer part (12) in an operable position.

Abstract: Mixed alkali metal salts of phosphoric acid in combination with a co-catalyst such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) are excellent transesterification catalysts for use in the preparation of polycarbonate from bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate. The mixed alkali metal phosphate salts were shown by kinetic measurements made on a model system composed of p-tert-octylphenol and bis(p-cumylphenyl) carbonate to be inherently more potent catalysts than salts of phosphoric acid comprising a single alkali metal ion. In addition to providing higher rates of polymerization, the new catalysts were shown to provide polycarbonates containing reduced levels of Fries rearrangement product relative to polymerization reactions catalyzed by conventional catalyst systems such as sodium hydroxide together with TMAH co-catalyst.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic system for taking up and handling a connecting towrope between a tugboat and a towed vessel. The inventive system comprises a fastening carriage which moves on guides around the deck of the tugboat. Once the towrope has been launched from the vessel to be towed, the aforementioned carriage moves along the guide until the built-in sensor detects the presence of the towrope at the upper part of the gunwale. The above-mentioned fastening carriage comprises a clamp and the tow cable or rope of the tugboat is fixed therein. According to the invention, when the system detects that the towrope has been inserted in the clamp, said clamp is closed and the carriage is released, the tugboat rope remaining connected to the towrope of the vessel. Once the aforementioned operation has been performed, the fastening carriage returns to the rest position thereof. The system operates automatically without the need for any human intervention on the deck of the tugboat and said system is remote controlled from the bridge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cancer test having prognostic utility in predicting time to disease progression, overall survival, and response to therapy in patients with MBC based upon the presence and number of CTC's. The Cell Spotter® System is used to enumerate CTC's in blood. The system immunomagnetically concentrates epithelial cells, fluorescently labels the cells and identifies and quantifies CTC's. The absolute number of CTC's detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. The mean time to survival of patients depended upon a threshold number of 5 CTC's per 7.5 ml of blood. Detection of CTC's in metastatic cancer represents a novel prognostic factor in patients with metastatic cancers, suggests a biological role for the presence of tumor cells in the blood, and indicates that the detection of CTC's could be considered an appropriate surrogate marker for prospective therapeutic clinical trials.
