Abstract: Splittable multicomponent fibers, to split fibers made from such splittable fibers, to processes for making such splittable and split fibers, and to nonwovens and other substrates made from the split fibers. The splittable multicomponent fibers can comprise one component comprising thermoplastic starch and another component comprising a non-starch thermoplastic polymer. wherein: (i) said second component is capable of being split or removed from said first component to provide at least one split fiber consisting essentially of said first component; and (ii) wherein the split fiber of said first component can have good elongation properties. The splittable multicomponent fibers can also provide split fibers of the thermoplastic starch component. The split fibers corresponding to the thermoplastic polymer component will have a greater elongation than directly spun thermoplastic fibers which have an equivalent mass through put as the thermoplastic polymer component of the multicomponent fiber and which have the same diameter as the split fiber.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de synthèse de conjugués polymères de cytokines et d'antagonistes se liant aux récepteurs de celles-ci, notamment un interféron-bêta, non glycosylé, ces conjugués conservant une activité biologique exceptionnellement élevée. La préparation des conjugués polymères, selon les procédés de l'invention, permet de réduire ou d'éviter l'inhibition stérique des interactions récepteur-ligand généralement engendrée par la fixation de polymères aux régions de liaison des récepteurs des cytokines et aux analogues agonistes et antagonistes de celles-ci. L'invention concerne aussi des conjugués et des compositions produits à l'aide de ces procédés. Les conjugués de l'invention conservent un niveau élevé d'activité biologique par rapport à ceux produits par des procédés de couplage de polymères classiques qui ne visent pas à éviter les domaines de liaison des récepteurs des cytokines. Dans des dosages in vitro, l'activité biologique des conjugués d'interféron-bêta non glycosylé de l'invention est sensiblement supérieure à celle de l'interféron bêta non conjugué, et est similaire à celle de l'interféron-bêta-1a glycosylé. Ces conjugués présentent aussi une demi-vie in vivo plus longue par rapport à la cytokine correspondante non conjuguée. L'invention concerne aussi des trousses comprenant ces conjugués et/ou compositions, et des procédés d'utilisation de ces conjugués et compositions dans diverses applications diagnostiques, prophylactiques et thérapeutiques, y compris le traitement de la sclérose en plaques.

Abstract: Method for operating a continuously variable transmission provided with two pulleys, each provided with two pulley discs which together define a tapering groove and between which a drive belt is clamped with the aid of an axial clamping force for transmitting a torque supplied to the transmission, during normal operation of the transmission, from one pulley to the other pulley with the aid of friction between the discs and the drive belt. The transmission is operated by an electronic operating unit which can influence at least the axial clamping force, wherein when the transmission is operating, the degree of movement between the pulley discs and the drive belt, i.e. drive belt slip, is detected by the operating unit with the aid of slip-detection means, and when the said degree of drive belt slip exceeds a critical limit, the operating unit uses an operating measure to actively reduce the degree of drive belt slip. The said critical limit is preferably determined as a function of a maximum permissible degree of the drive belt slip for the instantaneous transmission ratio of the transmission and the axial clamping force.

Abstract: The process establishes an estimate of the dilution rate (Pdil) of fuel in oil and authorizes the regeneration when the estimate of the dilution rate is less than a preset dilution threshold. The process handles data and controls the engine to achieve regeneration of the particle filter when necessary. The variation in dilution rate (dPdil) is evaluated by a first function (-Fevap) representing the evaporation of the fuel while no regeneration of the filter is in progress, and by a second function while the filter is being regenerated. The second function is the sum of the first function and a third function (Grege). The variation in the dilution rate is evaluated as a function of the speed of rotation of the engine (N) and a variable representing the load on the engine (Qc), such as the flow of injected fuel. The functions are recorded in the form of graphs.
