A composition for use in manufacturing fire and heat resistant components, typically by moulding, comprises a mixture of foamed filler, a liquid binder and one or more frits. The composition may itself be moulded to form such components or may be included in other moulding systems to impart fire and heat resistant properties to a moulding.

A method and mould tool for producing plastic composite products having large surface areas, e.g. floors for automotive vehicles. A batch of material comprising plastics material which has fibres admixed therewith is sprayed onto a mould surface (10) on one mould half (1). A second multi-part half (13) is pressed in stages against the material, as the material is charged to the mould surface.

A chromatic test device for the performance of immuno- or chemical assays wherein a unitary planar fibrous filter body incorporates a sample application zone, a separation zone and a reaction zone and said application zone is in fluid communication with first absorbent means and said reaction zone is in fluid communication with second absorbent means to establish bilateral flow of the fluid compon...

A fuel briquette in the form of a pressing, advantageously in the form of a piece of firewood, is described. This consists of comminuted fresh wood particles. These may consist at least partially of bark. Preferably, the briquette additionally contains plastics particles.

A device for calibrating and reaching a target point 13 inside a body part of a patient, especially the head, comprises a reference element 21, which can be constantly fitted to the said body part of the patient, and at least three reference markings 10-12, for example metal shot, in the vicinity of the target point 13, transilluminating members for position-detection and coordinate-fixing of the ...

The long rod of specific length has at its upper end an adaptor fastened by means of a cardan joint so that the rod is pivotable through a specific angle around its longitudinal axis. An electrical conductor connects to an outlet at the lower end of the rod. A release mechanism enables the adaptor to be freed from the rail at a distance from the latter. The mechanism includes a button arrangement,...

The alarms are connected via the central control electrical unit to a time calculator or clock. By a key impulses can be transmitted to the central unit which partly emits impulses for starting the time calculation, and partly for an opening lock motor. The alarms are released when the time calculation reaches a predetermined point, but the calculation is interrupted when a logical process is exec...

Polyribonucleotide analogs which are partially substituted by the introduction of mercapto groups and fluorine at the 5-position of some of their cytosine and uracil bases possess effective in vivo antitumor activity. Double stranded complexes formed from such polynucleotides are especially active as interferon inducers.
