Acyloxyhexenoic acids are produced by reaction of butadiene and acetic acid with metal salt oxidants in a process involving electrolytic regeneration of the metal oxidants during the reaction.

An improved waterbed mattress with adjustable hydrostatic wave absorption comprising an outer water-inflatable bag-like enclosure provided with an inner wave-absorbing water bladder. When a user sits or lies on a conventional waterbed an undesirable wave front is created in the water contained in the waterbed mattress. The inner wave-absorbing water bladder of the present invention absorbs and dim...

An improved method and apparatus for a winder for anchoring an indefinite length of thread supplied from a supply source onto an anchoring disc in said winder. The method comprises the steps of offsetting the thread to a position facing the anchoring disc, spanning the thread vertically, arresting the spanned thread, protruding the thread outwardly from the disc, and displacing the thread slantly ...

PURPOSE:To correct the detection sensitivity of glucose without lowering of the signal-noise ratio by determining the ratio of oxygen consumption speed with respect to reference value using a specified amount of a standard liquid to increase the injection of a sample matching it. CONSTITUTION:An enzyme reagent is injected into a measuring tank 1 through a three-way valve 6 from an enzyme reagent s...
