Novel, multiple-tritiated steroid-20,17- spirolactones of general Formula 1 wherein -A-B is -CH2-CH2-, -CH=CH- or and R is hydrogen or tritium and n is 0 or 1, are usable as tracer materials for the detection of mineralocorticoid receptors.

The compounds in question are of the nonionic type. These compounds are usable in contrast products.

A bobbin magazine for mounting on an end plate of a traveling service tender comprises a band movable on an endless path, compartments on the band to receive sticks of telescoped bobbins and a transfer device to transfer sticks from the magazine to the tender. The magazine can be hinged to the tender so that the magazine can be swung out to expose the end plate.

A tire whose inner wall is provided, below the crown of the tire and at least from one shoulder to the other of the tread, with a lining containing at least one means for sealing puncture holes is improved due to the fact that the lining comprises at least one layer of a vulcanizable sealing mixture separated by a vulcanized elastomeric partition from at least one layer of a vulcanizing mixture ca...

A watchdog system for a microprocessor (14) uses the primary AC power source to initiate restart signals for the microprocessor (14). The microprocessor (14) has an internal checking system. If a check is satisfactory, the microprocessor (14) provides a reset signal (18) at regular intervals to a counter (15) coupled to the primary AC power source which counts the pulses it receives until a predet...

An alarm system comprises at least one sensor for detecting unauthorised movement, an indicating device, a control system for controlling operations of the indicating device in response to operation of the sensor, and an alarm device located remote from the control system and responsive to operation of a door lock for causing a transmitter to transmit a control signal in digital or analogue form t...
