An improved machine for producing a configurated and specified weight product in die cavities of a rotary die roll, each of the die cavities being defined by a configurated sidewall and a porous bottom wall. During each revolution of the die roll, a batch of the product is forced into each cavity if the cavities pass a feed hopper. Upon continued rotation of the die roll, the bottom walls of the c...

A method for producing a calcium phosphate-based material comprising: (a) molding a calcium phosphate powder; (b) preliminarily calcining the resulting molding in a vacuum or under a reduced pressure until the relative density is 95% or more; and (c) firing the molding in air, an inert gas, or nitrogen gas. r

This process, which essentially comprises the following steps: esterification of the free acid groups of the collagen, transformation of the esterified groups into hydrazides groups, transformation of the hydrazide groups into azide groups by the action of nitrous acid, is characterized in that each step is separated by a rinsing in an aqueous salt solution, and in that the step of transformation ...

A suspension comprises aq. structured surfactant having suspended in it particles or droplets of water insoluble or sparingly soluble biocidal or agrochemical active substance in a wt. ratio of total surfactant to the active substance of less than 20:1.

A hinge fitting for an adjustable seat has a single rotatable handle by means of which the back rest can be tilted and the height of the seat portion adjusted. The handle is connected to a shaft which can be selectively coupled to one of two eccentrics mounted on an axle which passes through the two hinge parts and one end of a pivotable seat support. One eccentric is coupled to one hinge part whi...

The present invention concerns a process for preparing a multihardness foam article in a mould having the bottom surface flat or inclined up to 40 degrees to the horizontal plane. The process is characterized by the following steps: (a) arranging a dispensing means, comprising at least two outlets for dispensing at least two foam formulations, the outlets being arranged in a line, and the distan...

2046886 9011094 PCTABS00002 The invention relates to improved contrast media containing non-ionic contrast agents, e.g. non-ionic iodinated X-ray contrast agents, the improvement being achieved by incorporation of sodium at 20-60 mM/l.

A method of concurrently compacting and bonding a plurality of solid particles together including combining particles with a thermobonding agent, placing the particle-agent combination in a die having a desired shape, and applying compaction pressure to the particles while concurrently applying sufficient ultrasonic energy to the particles to densify the particles and thermally activate the thermo...

PTFE vascular tubing (12) is guided on to a tapered ultrasonic horn (8) as the horn (8) is oscillating at a high frequency. This action causes the end of the tubing (12) moved onto the horn (8) to expand. The expanded tubing (12) is then positioned on a mandrel (14) having a desired shape, such as tapered, and resintered. The finished tubing (12) with an expanded diameter on one end and a non-expa...
