Method and device for collecting objects pointing out of the bottom level of seas or corresponding water areas so that the objects are carried from the bottom by using waterflow through an intake opening of the collecting device moving on the bottom of the sea. The objects are removed from the bottom by a removing device. The lowermost part of the removing device moves at the same level with the b...

Stable suspensions of coated magnetic particles, preferably resuspendable bioactive particles particularly useful in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, are produced by disrupting, what are presumed to be, crystalline agglomerates of a parent particulate magnetic starting material in the presence of a coating material, such that coating can take place during the disruption. The particles are generally coa...

A powder of fine particles of an electrically conductive or semiconductive material, which have a diameter of 10 mu m or less, is pressurized, and, at the same time, a pulse voltage is applied between the fine particles to produce an electric discharge therebetween. The fine particles are fused together at areas where they contact each other, thereby producing a porous sintered body. The porous s...

A terpene compound having the formula (III) is produced by reacting an allylic halide having the formula (I) with a Grignard reagent having the formula (II) in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride and a copper compound or an organic zinc halide compound having the formula (IV) in the presence of a copper compound, provided that when A-A is C-C, R min is hydrogen and when A-A is C=C, X is chlor...

A process for preparing a fructoside, especially a fructosyl disaccharide, comprises reacting a fructosyl saccharide such as sucrose or raffinose with an alcohol or aldose in the presence of a fructosyl-transferase, especially one derived from B. subtilis NCIB 11811, 11872 or 11873. In particular, aldose is a compound of the formula (II) in which A represents a hydrogen atom or the grou...

Date Mar. 7, 1990.A joint between pipes (12, 14) each having a liner (16, 18) of polyolefin such as polythene. The pipes are spaced apart and the liner protrudes from each and is joined to its neighbor by a fusion coupling (20). The pipes are interconnected by a ...

A carton (11) with parallel flat front and rear surfaces joined by curved sides and a flip-top lid (10) hinged to the carton. The carton is composed of two superimposed layers adhesively secured at a joint line at lapped edges. The outer layer is slit along its front surface parallel to the carton ends and along upwardly extending curves around the sides to a fold line parallel to and raised above...

In a microprogrammed central processing subsystem, the apparatus and method for requeueing a sequence of microinstructions after the execution of the sequence is interrupted by identification and response to a trap condition includes a microinstruction address silo. Associated with each address is a tag field. The logic signal bit is asserted in the tag field position when a microinstruction addre...
