This invention is a process for making lubricating oils of a viscosity index ≥ 120 and a pour point of ≤ -45 DEG C by (a) oligomerizing an olefinic feedstock in the presence of a catalyst comprising an alkyl aluminium halide and an alkyl halide to form a lubricating oil, (b) separating the lubricating oil from the catalyst and (c) optionally catalytically hydrogenating the lubricating oil. The fee...

An apparatus for determining if a pregnant woman is at significant risk of carrying a fetus with Down syndrome. The pregnant woman's maternal blood levels of the free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin are measured. The level of free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin individually or with other markers may be compared to reference data. A computerized apparatus for making the d...

A pile weatherstrip has an elongate base strip carrying a pile of thermoplastic fibres. A zone is formed adjacent the base of the fibres fused together and compressed to reduce their width. This provides a comparatively smooth and narrow zone that does not snag on the flanges of a carrier as the pile weatherstrip is inserted into the carrier. The zone can be produced by passing the weatherstrip th...
