Biologically pure culture of a lactic bacterium strain selected for its abilities to implant in an intestinal flora, adhesion to intestinal cells, competitive exclusion of pathogenic bacteria on intestinal cells, immunomodulation and/or reduction in fecal enzyme activity.

Antigastritis and/or antiulcer agent exhibiting a capacity for moving pathogenic bacteria on intestinal and/or gastric cells.

The invention relates to the production of memory cards and in particular electronic memory cards. The body of the card is produced by moulding a plastic material such as ABS. The mould (20, 22) contains a core (24) used to define, within the card body, a cavity intended to receive the electronic module of the card.

The present invention features an indelibly colored grout composition and a method of making it. The grout of the invention mixes pre-colored materials such as stone, sand, plastic or ceramic aggregates with a resin binder. In the case of ceramics, the materials are pre-colored and color-fast, so that they resist fading and attach from stains and chemicals. The color-fast materials can be natural ...

A child resistant reminder closure (30) comprising an outer closure member (31) having a base wall (35) and a peripheral skirt (36), an inner closure member (32) having a base wall (41) and a peripheral skirt (42) with a bead (33) on the outer closure member (31) retaining the inner closure member (32) against limited axial outward movement relative to the outer closure member (31). An assembly of...

A prosthetic bearing assembly comprising a fixation element for attachment to the available anatomy, a substantially circular inner bearing component for location therein; and separate location means acting on said fixation element and said bearing component to locate them with a vernier adjustment in any one of a number of different relative circumferential positions.

The invention relates to 2 human monoclonal antibodies of sub-classes IgG1 and IgG3, against the Rhesus D antigen and to a pharmaceutical composition containing a mixture of the said antibodies, more particularly intended for the prophylaxis of the haemolytic disease of the newborn.

Disposable diapers provided with breathable leg cuffs. Disposable diapers comprise a topsheet, an absorbent element, and a backsheet. The leg cuff of a disposable diaper is that part of the diaper which fits about the wearer's leg. Extensions of the backsheet can be used to form cuffs which are frequently elasticized. In the present invention the cuffs are formed of a material which allows passage...

Disposable absorbent articles having an ion-exchanging topsheet are disclosed. By using topsheets which release protons upon exposure to body fluids, absorbent articles such as diapers can be realized which are effective for absorbing discharged body waste and which also are effective for lowering skin pH within the acid range. Lowering of skin pH to values within the range of from about 3.0 to 5....
