A hydraulic actuator for a vehicle brake incorporates an automatic adjuster which includes a strut of variable length formed by members which are threadedly interengaged by way of non-reversible screw thread connection. The member is an adjuster shaft which forms a reversible screw thread connection with a drive ring arranged to control rotation of the adjuster shaft during brake application and r...

The invention relates to a wire connector for cable wires, in particular for telecommunications. A device is provided in a wire connector, which can be used for generating a connecting splice as well as for generating a branching splice, without special tools for cutting the cable wires off being necessary. Guide channels (4) are provided having a separating knife (6) for the cable wires (7,8). Fu...

The finely divided dispersions can be obtained by emulsion polymerisation from suitable monomers and contain biocidal, cationic- surfactant quaternary organic ammonium compounds, preferably tetrasubstituted ammonium compounds of the formula (I) and/or alkyl- or alkenylpyridinium compounds of the formula (II), in particular in an amount of from 0.1 to 20 % by weight, based on the dispersion polymer...

A dosage unit for dosing a number of measured quantities of a liquid, such as insulin, from a cartridge (2). This dosage unit enables an easy and precise adjustment of the desired quantity and ensures that the dosage unit cannot be used again inadvertently, when the cartridge is empty.

The present invention relates to a device or kit and a method for the inhalation administration of gangliosides and inner ester ganglioside derivatives useful for the treatment of various nervous disorders, such as those resulting from accidents or diseases which have damaged the nervous tissue.

The receiver receives a signal incorporating both amplitude and angular carrier modulation. It incorporates two demodulators, the first proving an output representing the amplitude modulation signal but dependent on the carrier signal level and the second providing the angular modulation signal which incorporates attenuation correction, to allow the first demodulated signal to be corrected for el...

The heated tank has a heat exchanger spaced from the bottom of the car to define a dead space to insulate the heat exchanger from the bottom. The heat exchanger extends longitudinally and transversely across the entire bottom of the car to provide a large heating transfer surface to the lading supported by the exchanger. A portion of the exchanger encompasses a discharge valve of the tank car to...

A linear force measuring device for measuring the tension upon a web comprises a measuring ring built into the bearing assembly of a deflection roller over which the web passes. The measuring ring has a pair of slits cut into the ring, the slits having parallel rectilinear portions which are in a perpendicular direction of force application, further portions which extend to the periphery of the ri...

A vehicle brake actuator has actuator components in the form of a cylinder body and a piston operatively associated respectively with a non-rotatable adjuster shaft and a rotatable nut member threadedly interengaged by way of a reversible screw thread connection, the nut member being arranged to follow brake-applying movement of the component being movable axially along the shaft by rotating there...

A series of 4-(2-hydroxyethylthiomethyl)pyridines and related compounds, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, having antiinflammatory and immunoregulatory activity are disclosed. Preferred compounds include 4-(2-hydroxyethylthiomethyl)pyridine itself, as well as 4-(2-hydroxyphenylthiomethyl)pyridine, 4-(2-hydroxy-1-propylthiomethyl)pyridine, 4-(3-hydroxy-2-butylthiomethyl)pyr...

A device is disclosed for conducting an assay method. The device 10 comprises a housing 12, means 18 enclosed in the housing 12 for capturing a member of a specific binding pair in a zone and for allowing liquid to be transported by capillary action away from the zone, one or more self-contained liquid reagents 30 enclosed in the housing 12 for conducting an assay method for the determination of a...

Encapsulated electronic circuit devices as well as methods and molding apparatus for making same are disclosed. For example, an integrated circuit "die" (or "chip") and the lead frame (or frames) to which it is physically affixed and electrically connected are positioned in a mold between stacks of resin impregnated fibrous layers of predetermined shape and size. The layers are then compressed und...
