Disclosed is a method for producing cyclic esters by the conversion of hydroxy carboxylic acids and their derivatives to their respective cyclic esters. Such cyclic esters, including lactide or glycolide, are particularly useful for producing polymers which can be used to make biodegradable materials, such as biodegradable packaging material. Various methods of cyclic ester production are disclose...

Collagen membranes are formed from porcine rinds (i.e., pig skins) for us in a variety of applications and, most preferably, for wrapping food products, such as hams and the like. First, after removing skins from the porcine, the skins are promptly frozen. In later processing, the rinds are thawed and then enzymatically defatted. Then, a quick alkalinic hydrolyzation is performed on the rinds. The...

The method is for minimizing the holding in store and optimization of production and supply of wear and tear parts, as is involved in the replacement of a cylinder lining in a marine diesel engine. The cylinder (11) of a marine engine is equipped with sensors (S1-S3) which are built into the cylinder jacket (13) and engage the wall thickness (W1) of the cylinder lining (1) at different points. - W...

A cartilage and bone morphogenetic repairing material which contains a bone morphogenetic protein and a polyoxyethylene-p-olyoxypropylene glycol. In particular, it is preferable that a molecular weight of a polypropylene glycol, i.e., a component of said polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene glycol, being in the range of about 1,500-4,000 and a weight ratio of ethylene oxide being in the range of 40-80...

A portable telephone is designed to control generation of musical tones and/or incoming call sound in response to classes of telephone numbers by which incoming calls are to be received. That is, the portable telephone stops generating musical tones while generating incoming call sound in response to telephone numbers of the first class; or it gradually decreases musical tones in tone volume in re...

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging technique that not only provides three-dimensional information about the blood vessel lumen and wall, but also directly depicts atherosclerotic plaque structure and morphology. Automatic processing of large data sets of IVUS data represents an important challenge due to ultrasound speckle and technology artifacts. A new semi-automatic IVUS segme...

A method includes pushing a datum onto a stack by a first processor and popping the datum off the stack by a second processor.

A preparation (A) for forming a material (I) for restoring mineralized material comprises an aqueous liquid component (C1) and a solid component (C2) consisting of tricalcium silicate and/or dicalcium silicate, plus calcium chloride and a water reducing agent (both contained in (C1) and/or (C2)), such that mixing of (C1) and (C2) provides (I). An Independent claim is included for the preparation ...

A bone substitute material comprising a base material comprising titanium or its allow and, formed on the surface thereof, a coating containing a titanium oxide phase and a noncrystalline alkali titanate phase; and a process for producing the same by immering a base material comprising titanium or its alloy in an alkali solution and heating the material to temperature lower than the transition poi...

The use of kombucha for increasing performance-related activity, reducing general inactivity and improving general health, is new. Kombucha is useful for increasing performance-related activity, reducing general inactivity and improving general health. Kombucha is a combination of various bacteria and yeasts in a gelatinous base; see WO9843489-A1.

A method of manufacturing a multilayered cementitious product comprising the steps of combining a cementitious material with water within a mixing container so as to form an aqueous slurry discharging the slurry from said mixing container through an outlet onto a support and inserting a setting accelerator into said slurry at or close to the outlet of the mixing container.
