In the manufacture of thermoplastically processable starch, an additive is essentially mixed with native or natural starch and the mixture is caused to melt by the application of heat and mechanical energy. The additive is a substance which lowers the melting point of the starch so that the melting point of the starch together with this additive lies below the decomposition temperature of the star...

In one aspect, a tire is provided having at least one component as such laminate.

A caliper logging sonde is provided having a plurality of sensing fingers each of which is pivotally mounted to the sonde and movable with respect to the sonde in response to variations in the internal dimensions of a wellbore tube through which the sonde passes. An electrical signal which is proportional to variations in the internal dimensions of a wellbore tube is determined at regular time int...

This invention is a device for collimation of ionizing radiation when treating tumors and similar in the human body. The purpose of the invention is to achieve the function of a device replacing the manual procedure of today in many treatment cases. The aim is also to achieve a device which is a less expensive alternative to the multileaf collimators used today. The most important function of the ...

gA method for preserving a food product, such as meat, is provided. The method comprises the steps of inoculating meat with an effective amount of non-pathogenic, non-spoilage bacteria in order to competitively inhibit the growth of undesired pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Preferably, either L. delbrueckii or Hafnia alvei bacteria are used to inoculate a meat product. Bacteria present on a meat...

The invention relates to novel acrylic acid ester- and methacrylic acid ester-substituted 1,2-bis(phenoxy)-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluoro- 1-cyclopentenes, their preparation and their use as monomers for application in the dental field.

A security tag is disclosed for use with an electronic security system for a controlled area. The tag comprises circuitry for initially establishing a resonant circuit (14) having a first resonating frequency within a first frequency range which is outside of the range of the detection frequency of the electronic security system. The tag is activated by changing the resonating frequency of the res...

In a bridge unit for connecting branch LANs through a trunk LAN, of address information registered in an address translation table, address information associated with a station not subjected to message transmission or reception for a predetermined period of time is recognized as address information to be deleted from the address translation table. After this recognization, when a message is to be...

The effects of polarization dependent hole burning and/or polarization dependent loss are reduced by modulating the state of polarization (SOP) of an optical signal being launched into the transmission path periodically between first and second states of polarization of at least one pair of orthogonal states of polarization. Ideally, the launched modulated signal should spend equal time intervals ...

Nucleoside thiotriphosphates carrying <32>P in the gamma-thiophosphate group, prepared by reaction between a nucleoside diphosphate and a <32>P labelled thiophosphate salt, are used as thiophosphorylating agents for antibodies that bind to tumour-associated antigens. The labelled thiotriphosphates can be used to introduce a therapeutically useful <32>P atom into an antibody that has been modified ...

The present invention relates to the formation of a metal matrix composite body by a spontaneous infiltration technique. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or infiltration enhancer precursor can be positioned at least partially between or at an interface between a matrix metal (2) and a filler material (3) (or preform) which is to be infiltrated by molten matrix metal (2). Moreover, at lea...

The use of human Protein C for the prevention and treatment of deposition or aggregation of thrombocytes, microparticles of thrombocytes, and leucocytes is described. In addition, an improved method for the extra-corpereal treatment of body fluids is disclosed.

The packaging for a catheter (1, 2, 3) comprises a flat air tight support member (4) and a cover member (5) formed of an air tight and flexible sheet adhered by its periphery (6) on the support member (4). A vacuum is exerted between the support member (4) and the cover member (5) by connection of a duct (7) to a vacuum pump, and the duct (7) is then sealed. The cover member thus takes the relief ...

Polymers I comprising from 15 to 80% by weight of monomers of the general formula I (I) where R1, R2 and R3 are each C1-C3-alkyl, R1 is C1-C5-alkyl and X is O or NH, and from 20 to 85% by weight of other monomers capable of undergoing free radical copolymerization are used as assignments in the spray drying of aqueous dispersions of polymers II which differ from the polymers I.
