An electrical plug having an extended head portion (13) for insertion into a recessed socket (11) in the mating receptacle includes axial friction ribs (21, 22, 23, 24) at the outer periphery to engage the inner surface of the recessed socket and provide positive frictional forces retaining the plug in the socket. A bevel (35) on the face of the extended head portion facilitates insertion of the h...

The invention relates to a method and device for determining the state of health of a living being. The invention provides for a selected, physiological parameter of the living being, e.g. the conductivity of the skin, to be recorded on a statistically significant multiplicity of measuring points distributed over a defined part of the body of the living being, for the frequency distribution of the...

The invention relates to a measuring instrument for detecting muscular activity (F) especially in the area of the hand. The measuring instrument (1) comprises an elongated connecting part (2), by which at least two points of the hand (6) moving with respect to one another are supported so that the movement of these points is transferred to the connecting part, a hand-securing means (12), and a mea...

6-Cyclohexyl-2' -O-methyl-adenosine 1.5 hydrate (I) is new. USE/ADVANTAGE - (I) has the same pharcological properties as 6-cyclohexyl-2' -O-methyl-adenosine monoetherate (II) which is known from DE 3940021. Compared with this etherate, (I) is obtd. in purer form and is easier to formulate into pharmaceutical prepns. In an example, 6-Chloro-9-purinyl -2'-O-methyl-D-ribose (0.7 g) was heated in cycl...

Described herein is the use of polycationic solid supports in the purification of nucleic acids from solutions containing contaminants. The nucleic acids non-covalently bind to the support without signficant binding of contaminants permitting their separation from the contaminants. The bound nucleic acids can be recovered from the support. Also described is the use of the supports as a means to se...

5-Amino-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene- alpha -D-glucofuranose is conveniently prepared by a hydride reduction of 5-azido-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene- alpha -D-glucuronolactone and can readily be converted to nojirimycin, deoxynojirimycin or homonojirimycin.

The anthracycline derivatives have the general formula I and can, where appropriate, be in the form of a salt of an inorganic or organic acid.
