In the production of silicon or silicon-alloy bodies in which a shaped pre-form, blank or like member containing a silicon carrier and carbon is subjected to an electric furnace, the fine-grain silicon carrier intimately mixed with preferably a stoichiometric amount of caking coal and the mixture is molded to form the body which is subjected to hot briquetting at a temperature of 350 DEG to 550 D...

A flange assembly (20) of a molded plastic container (12) which is multi-sided. Each side terminates at its upper edge in the flange assembly (20) and the flange assembly (20) includes an inner support flange (22) to which a closure (14) may be bonded. Outwardly of the support flange (22) is an upstanding shock absorbing bead (24) which additionally functions to center the closure (14) on the cont...

The balloon catheter comprises a main body having an annular groove formed on the peripheral surface at the tip of a flexible tube member which has at least one internal passage. A balloon disposed in such a manner that its outer diameter, when it is not inflated, is equal to, or smaller than, the maximum outer diameter of the tip of the tube member. The balloon is inflated or deflated through a b...

In the purification of gases, in particular for separating oxygen from air, using pressure-swing adsorbers (1, 2, 3, 4), the gas to be purified is contacted under pressure with selectively adsorbing materials and, for regenerating the adsorbing materials, the adsorbed gases are desorbed by expansion and, if necessary, application of suction pressure. To achieve an approximately continuous procedur...
