Novel gel-spun, irradiated and drawn ultra high strength high molecular weight and at least partially cross-linked and/or broadened polyethylene filaments, tapes and films, exhibiting substantially lower creep rates than corresponding but non-irradiated articles are decribed, along with a process for making the same.

A compound of the formula wherein R is -CH(CH3)2 or -C(CH3)3 or a physiologically acceptable salt or optical isomer thereof useful for the treatment of particularly different lung diseases.

An acidic polycyclic ether antibiotic, having structure established by X-ray crystallography, is formed by fermentation of a novel microorganism, Actinomadura sp. ATCC 53676. This novel antibiotic is useful as an anticoccidial in chickens and as a growth promotant in cattle and swine. h

A method of determining immunochemically reactive components, using one or more labelled components obtained by coupling the component concerned directly or indirectly to a sol of a non-metallic element (such as Se, Te, S, P, C, Si) or an inorganic compound thereof which does not contain metallic elements (such as SiO2 ). Also a method of preparing such a labelled component, as well as to a materi...

Improved guard and blade assemblies for a rotary cutting machine; wherein the guard has a full rear skirt, and an apertured front skirt of three designs of guard element mounted in cantilever; and wherein the cutter blade is of the swivel type but with retention means for the cutter blade designed to warn the operator of swivel blade pivot failure and with the blade being replaceable without need ...

The method which aims at preventing condensation phenomena on tools (5) heated by the work and traversed by a cooling medium relates particularly to synthetic material working machines. In order to avoid condensation of humidity on cooled tools (5), a dry air veil is created by direct blowing to the tools (5), thereby making possible a further reduction of the temperature of the cooling water of t...

A device (10) for spontaneously reporting remotely stored data is coupled to a descrambler (22) in an impulse pay-per-view television system for storing and reporting data pertaining to subject matter descrambled by the descrambler, such as identification of each impulse pay-per-view program that is descrambled. The descrambler (22) receives scrambled television programs over a data link (28) from...

The composition comprises polyolefins, fillers and a plasticizer. It contains 0.2 to 20 wt. % etoxysiloxane, 5 to 60 wt. % polyolefin, 10 to 60 wt. % white black filler, and 10 to 75 wt. % polyethyleneglycol, petroleum oil or dioctylphtalate. The polyolefin can be high-density polyethylene with a melt index at a standard charging up to 6, superhigh-molecular polyethylene, polypropylene, or a mixtu...

Pharmaceutical formulations for once-daily administration of a drug to inhibit the development of drug tolerance in humans being treated with the drug which can achieve therapeutically effective levels of said drug in the plasma over a period of not more than 20 hours of the day and then cause said blood levels to fall significantiy below the therapeutic levels throughout the remainder of the 24 h...

PCT No. PCT/NO86/00080 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 8, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 8, 1987 PCT Filed Dec. 3, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/03643 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 18, 1987.A process for increasing the degree of extraction of oil or other volatile liquids in oil reservoirs on land or at sea, by making the formations in said reservoir vibrate as close to the natural frequency of said formations as possible, so that ...

The invention concerns an arrangement for gasifying carbon, formed by pyrolysis of biomass. The novel feature is that at least a substantial part of the raw pyrolytic gas formed upon pyrolysis is combusted in a combustion oven 17 which is in heat-exchange communication with a space 22 for steam. The steam is overheated in this space and is fed to the carbon bed for formation of water gas.

A gas generator is provided with a pyrolysis chamber 5 for pyrolysis of biomass and a reduction chamber 7 for gasification of the carbon formed. Arranged centrally in the pyrolysis chamber there is a suction tube 28 with fan element 31 for sucking pyrolytic gas in to the biomass in order to increase the temperature in the biomass such that automatic pyrolysis occurs. Means are also provided for le...

The arrangement has, in a lower part on an intermediary wall sepg. a closed container (2) from the pot space (1), a water hole (4), above this hole is an air hole (5) for air intake into the container. - The upper part of a drain-pipe (6) is positioned above the air hole and runs through the container to the bottom, removing overflow water frcm the pot space, as in the case of rain where the pot i...

At least two of the three separate throttles have an external shape which permits different coupling alternatives between the measurement point (20) and the meter. The coupling alternatives in turn enable different fixed pressure conversions to be obtained dependent on how the pressure converter is connected. The one throttle has a further throttle, the longitudinal axis of the two being parallel....
