Stable, aqueous emulsion copolymers with controllable siloxane crosslinking functionality are provided. These copolymers are prepared by a free radical and cationic initiated emulsion polymerization of at least one free radical initiatable monomer, at least one linear polysiloxane precursor monomer, and at least one polysilane or polysiloxane precursor monomer having both free radical polymerizabl...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is diagnosed and distinguished from other conditions presenting a similar clinical appearance by assessing the 2 min -5 min A oligonucleotide levels in the patient's circulating peripheral leucocytes and comparing the result obtained to that of healthy individuals. Double-stranded RNAs, notably mismatched dsRNAs, when administered in appropriate amounts, increase the 2 min...

A mobile tire curing unit having a top and bottom mold halves interconnectable in releasable manner so as to define an annular chamber for receiving a green tire, with one of the mold halves incorporating a closed circuit for a given curing media supply under pressure, the circuit being defined by a deformable inner tube, designed to occupy the annular chamber, and by a casing connected to the inn...

Device for severing a web (12) in a paper or cardboard machine comprises a tape (9), means (2,5) for feeding the tape to a space (16) between a reel spool (15) and a reel drum (14), as well as means (10,11) for attaching the tape onto the surface of the reel spool (15) and for severing the web with the help of the tape (9) wound in a spiral-like fashion along the width of the reel spool (15) and f...

Device for feeding a tape in severing a web (12) in a paper or cardboard machine comprises a tape (9) and means (2,5) for feeding the tape (9) to a space (16) between a reel spool (15) and a reel drum (14), the means for feeding the tape comprising an elongate transfer profile (5), along which the tape (9) is arranged to be guided to the space between the reel spool and the reel drum. The transfer...

An electronic marking system comprises cooperative units (4, 4a,...4n) with information carrying elements which can be supplied with programmable basic information. The information can be initiated by means of computer equipment (7). One or more of the functions of each unit is made dependent upon one or more functional state of one or more of the remaining units. An antenna loop (3) leads past th...
