An inorganic-organic combined material constituted of co-hardened inorganic and organic components is prepared by mixing a polyvalent metal salt of phosphoric acid, a hardening agent and a thermosetting resin curable with an acid catalyst and subjecting the resultant mixture to co- hardening, optionally in the presence of a blowing agent. This material has excellent nonflammability and water resis...

A method for repairing perfluorocarbon copolymer cation exchange membranes involves partially solvating a quantity of a perfluorocarbon copolymer having a desired pendant cation-exchange functional group, using a solvating dispersion medium. The composition is applied to areas of the membrane to be repaired and the dispersion medium is then removed.

The invention relates to a control unit which comprises one or more switches and is capable of integration into a trim component installed inside the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The control unit is designed in such a manner that, after fitting the trim which accommodates it, a baseplate can be fixed to the trim, the baseplate accommodating the bases of all the control elements intend...

A leak-tight cylindrical metal casing filled with an ionizable gas contains a plurality of modules each having the function of an independent ionization chamber. Electrically insulated resilient means serve to maintain each module in position both radially and longitudinally within the casing. A central cylindrical core within each module serves as a support for two concentric cylindrical electrod...

CONSTITUTION:A guide rail 20 is provided on the floor of a car body 3 in a longitudinal direction and a projection member 3a is formed at a predetermined position of t...

PURPOSE:To improve assembling properties without impairing the riding feeling and seat belt operation, etc. by folding back the seat belt at a belt guide and by winding it into a retractor through a gap formed on the same side along one side of a cushion frame. CONSTITUTION:An arresting device is constituted so that a seat belt 6 is guided through a belt guide 7 and is wound by a retractor 5 arran...

Process and apparatus for ophthalmological surgery, wherein the apparatus includes a laser having a beam of power greater than 1012 Watts/cm2 in one or more very short pulses of duration between 20 and 400 picoseconds. The laser beam is focussed by a strong conveying lens on tissue to be cut and has such low total energy that an optical puncture is produced without any notable thermal action. The ...

Significantly increased removal of immunal complexes and tumor specific antibody generation are achieved by extracorporeal plasma perfusion over a therapeutic immobilized protein A (staphylococcal), SPA. The perfused plasma is returned to the host or can be taken off one person and used to treat another and stored in perfused plasma banks. Immobilized protein A quantities, volumes of plasma perfus...

A series of 4''-deoxy-4''-amino-oleandomycin antibacterial agents and their preparation from semi-synthetic 4''-deoxy-4''-oxo-oleandomycin intermediates.

1-Sulfo-2-oxoazetidine derivatives of the general formula (I) wherein R1 is amino group which may optionally be acyiated or protected, X is hydrogen or methoxy, and R4 is azido, a halogen, amino group which may optionally be acylated or a group of the formula -OR5, or -S-S-R5 in which R5 is an organic residue and n is 0, 1 or 2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a...

PURPOSE:To execute an electrode design of a metallic strip reflector, by deciding (alpha) and d/lambda so that the product of an electrode width duty factor (alpha) of said reflector, and d/lambda which has devided electrode width (d) by surface acousitc wave wavelength (lambda) enters within a range of specified numerical value. CONSTITUTION:In a surface acoustic wave device using a piezoelectric...

Detergent compositions, preferably heavy-duty liquids, containing an anionic surfactant, a selected cosurfactant and a fatty acid are disclosed. The compositions are formulated to provide an initial pH of from about 6.0 to about 8.5 at a concentration of from about 0.1% to about 2% by weight in water at 20 DEG C. The compositions preferably also contain ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, a detergen...

PURPOSE:To obtain a digital variable delaying circuit which scarcely generates jittert and also has simplified its structure, by devising so that the maximum delay time required is obtained by a small number of elements. CONSTITUTION:To each of registers RA-RD, an input data CD1 is supplied in parallel, and also a clock CK0 for writing a data is selectively supplied in order. Therefore, the first ...
