The invention relates to novel water soluble 3,5-diacetamido-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid derivatives, the method for making the same and their use as X-ray contrast agents for vasography, urography, myelography, artrography, fistulography and salpingography.

A method for granulating a stream of molten metal which is caused to fall from a launder or the like down into a liquid cooling bath in a tank. The metal stream is divided into droplets in the liquid cooling bath, which solidify and form solid granules. A substantially uniform flow of cooling liquid is caused to flow from one of the side walls in the tank substantially perpendicularly against the ...

Process and apparatus for rapidly cracking a hydrocarbon feed followed by rapid separation of the cracked gases from the particulate solids including a cracking reactor having offset orifices and at least two opposed inlet nozzles in the same plane, an entrained bed heater having an array of fuel inlet nozzles in a plane at the bottom of the heater and axially directed air inlet nozzles, and a sep...

Method of manufacturing superconductive filaments, sheets or other mouldings so that their superconductive parts originate from whiskers which are obtained from high-temperature superconductive ceramics in their most superconductive crystal directions. The matrix which encloses and protects the whiskers is of metal which is a good conductor, for example silver, or thermal plastic filled with a met...

A method and apparatus for producing a low density thermal insulation batt. The batt includes binder fibers which have been softened to adhere to and interconnect insulative fibers in the batt, and also includes short stilt fibers which interconnect and space apart the insulative fibers to define interstitial air pockets intermediate the insulative fibers.

A hollow, ceramic macrosphere or spheriod comprising a relatively smooth outer skin and cellular shell is produced in the 2-20 mm diameter range with specific gravities in the 0.2-1.2 range. The spheriods can be rendered inert to water and are stable at temperatures of 80 DEG to 1000 DEG C., depending on their composition. The porosity of the shell can be controlled through various additives and...

A composition comprising: (A) a metal salt of (A)(I) at least one acid of the formula wherein each X and X1 is independently oxygen or sulfur, each n is zero or one, and each R1 is independently the same or different hydrocarbon based group, and (A)(II) at least one carboxylic acid of about 2 to about 40 carbon atoms, the ratio of equivalents of (A)(I) to equivalents of (A)(II) being in ...

Composition containinq short Aramid fibres Composition, which contains at least synthetic organic short Aramid fibres and a filler, characterised in that at least some of the fillers have a Moh's hardness of between 2 and 9 and in that the short fibres are split into several fibrils at their ends. In particular, the short fibres have crackc, protruding fibrils and/or splitting along the fibre axis...

A clamshell package supports a hip prosthesis so that modular pads and/or a modular distal sleeves can be added during surgery so that sterility is maintained while achieving a custom fit for the patient. 61560402.PAT/mkf - 17

Griseolic acid derivatives of formula (I): (I) wherein A represents: have enzyme-inhibitory activity, especially against cAMP PDE and cGMP PDE. When formulated as compositions with appropriate carriers or diluents, they may be used for the treatment of a variety of organic disorders and show toxicities less than griseolic acid itself.

In position 2 substituted 1'-desoxy-1'-(6-amino-9-puri-nyl)-.beta.-D-ribofuranuronic acid amides and thioamides of formula are effective against raised blood pressure.

The unit has a bus system (B:CMY), to which the processors (CP, IOC), which have their own local memory (LMY), are connected, and which is allocated sequentially to different ones of the processors (e.g. CP1, CPx, IOC0), and a main memory (CMY), which is connected to the bus system (B:CMY) and to which the processors (CP, IOC) sequentially have access via the bus system (B:CMY) in accordance with ...

For the preparation of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b, the 9,14-position of the starting adriamycin is previously protected with phenylboronic acid and then the 4'-position of the thus protected adriamycin is selectively tetrahydropyranylated. After the tetrahydropyranylation, the by-product of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin a is converted to the aimed product of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriam...

The present invention relates to novel anthracycline compounds, and a process for producing the same. The compounds have anti-tumor activities and can, therefore, be used as medicaments.

A human gamma-interferon-like polypeptide is produced by cultivating host cells such as Eschrichia coli transformed with a synthesized polydeoxyribonucleotide. The human gamma-interferon activity of the polypeptide is confirmed by a test using an anti-human-interferon antibody.
