The present invention is concerned with novel monoclonal antibodies which define a glycolipid antigen associated with human non-small cell lung carcinomas ("NSCLC") and certain other human carcinomas. The antibodies bind to normal human cells to a much lesser degree than to tumor cells. The antibodies find use in diagnostic methods such as the detection of malignant cells associated with NSCLC and...

Normally hydrophobic foams, such as polyurethane foams and polymerized water-in-oil emulsion foams, are rendered hydrophilic by means of treatment with sorbitan monolaurate. Thus, a polymeric foam can be prepared or treated with sorbitan monolaurate and thereafter dried to leave a substantially uniformly distributed residue of sorbitan monolaurate on the internal foam surfaces. The resulting treat...

Methods for preparing a green sheet and a glass ceramic substrate are herein disclosed. The object of these methods is to make green sheets and glass ceramic substrates practically acceptable, the green sheets and the glass ceramic substrates having a low dielectric constant and low scattering in properties, and the method comprises the steps of preparing a mixture of hollow silica microspheres, b...

This invention relates to an automatic injection device which, upon activation by the user, automatically extends a syringe with needle, delivers medication through the needle, and retracts the needle, thus keeping the needle hidden from view.

A compost container 1 for use when composting organic refuse, preferably a mixture of household refuse and relatively light garden refuse, can be arranged such that pernicious animals, such as mice and rats, and also flies and insects, cannot penetrate into the interior of the compost container 1.
