A process for applying a refractory castable onto a surface, comprising the steps of: (a) introducing metered amounts of a clay-free, dry refractory castable into a delivery hose, the dry refractory castable having an alumina content of about 40-95%; (b) conveying the dry refractory to a dispensing assembly under pneumatic pressure; (c) introducing water and a set modifying admixture into the dry ...

The prosthesis comprises a femoral component (2) having at least one substantial ly spheroidal condylar bearing surface (10,11), a tibial component (6) including a tibial platform (20), and a plastics meniscal component (7) located between the condyla r bearing surface (10,11) and the tibial component (6) and being slidable on the platform (20). The meniscal component (7) is retained on a guide (2...

The present invention provides methods of stimulating fluid production from an unconsolidated formation penetrated by a wellbore while preventing the migration of formation sands with fluids produced from the formation. The methods basically comprise the steps of injecting a hardenable resin composition into a portion of the formation surrounding the wellbore whereby that portion is consolidated i...

One wafer is placed on a wafer support table with its frontside facing upward, and the other wafer is chucked by a wafer chuck portion with its frontside facing upward. The wafer chuck portion is pivoted about a shaft through about 180.degree. to make the two wafers face each other substantially parallel. In response to the cancel of the chucking of the upper wafer by the wafer chuck portion, the ...

L'invention se rapporte à une émulsion d'une phase huileuse dans une phase aqueu se, fine et stable, contenant des particules de polymère ionique, les globules d'huile de l'émulsion ayant une taille moyenne d'au plus 500 nm. Les particules de polymère ionique sont notamment des particules de polyesters, ces polyesters étant plus particulièrement des polymères d'acide isophtalique et/ou sulfoisopht...

A container mixer typically comprises a mixer inside a container tank. The mixer comprises a shaft and blades mounted on the shaft, an actuator positioned outside the container tank, and a coupler with which the mixer is coupled to the actuator. The container tank has a quick coupling which enables the actuator to be detached temporarily from the container tank. The quick coupling comprises a sepa...

A delivery system (20) for procuring implantation of an expandable stent (50, 76, 98, 120) in a bodily lumen of interest is disclosed including a fluid-operated moving cylinder sleeve means (36, 60, 90, 110) for retaining the stent in place during delivery retracting to release a stent at the implantation site.

A printing machine for printing a substrate web, which printing machine comprises at least one printing module, such a printing module being provided with an impression roller and ink application means, the ink application means comprising a cylindrical element, which cylindrical element extends parallel to the impression roller and abuts against the impression roller at a contact line with interp...

A high modulus composition based on a mixture of a hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber which has been modified with either zinc methacrylate or a combination of zinc oxide and methacrylic acid and an unmodified hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber for use in high load-bearing synchronous drive belts and belts made therewith.

L'invention concerne un procédé de configuration d'une pluralité de cellules géographiques liées à un même site d'émission/réception d'un système de radiocommunication numérique cellulaire. Le site est du type accueillant une plu ralité de stations de base associées chacune à une des cellules et définies chacune par un e porteuse BCCH distincte. Le site est situé dans une zone pouvant être décompo...

The present invention relates to a novel method of genetic modification, wherein a nucleic acid of interest is transferred across a biological membrane, and/or directed to a specific location within or on a cell, by use of a synthetic transport entity. The transport entity according to the invention is new as such and produced by coupling a functional element (FE), such as a nuclear localization s...

Coins are collected and saved in a box constructed from a box frame (1) extending around the peripheral edges of two parallel panels (2) to bridge the gap between them. Coins are added to the box through an opening (15) in the top section (12) of the frame. - One of the panels is transparent and the distance between the two panels is equal to the total thickness of no more than three of the thinne...

Combustion air is guided into an incineration box using an air inlet device (9) placed inside the tubular wall of the box. Linking the device to an air duct enables air to flow through the device and into the box. The lower section of the device contains a guard piece (14) made from a heat and corrosion resistant material. Air flowing through the device is used to keep the guard piece cool.

The invention concerns constructs for the expression of a protein comprising at least a modified FV envelope protein, the protein so obtained as well as the complementation cell line permitting the production of pseudotyped viral particle. It also concerns pharmaceutical composition comprising said particles and a method for treating a disease.
