An improved heavy-weight, nonapertured, nonwoven fabric of hydraulically entangled synthetic organic staple fibers has a unit weight of 200 to 850 g/m<2> [6 to 25 oz/yd<2>], a strip tensile strength of at least 0.26 (N/cm)/(g/m<2>) [5 (lb/in)/(oz/yd<2>)] and a resistance to disentanglement of at least 50 alternate extension cycles. The fabric is much stronger than such prior art heavy-weight nonwo...

The invention relates to a method for setting a wire in contact with a plastic film. In particular, the method relates to setting a resistance wire in contact with such a plastic film which is intended for use in a laminated glass manufacturing process as an intermediate film for laminated glass. When applying the method, a plastic film (9) to be provided with a wire is laid upon an endless surfac...

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit for ejecting an ink to a recording member, a detection unit (5) for detecting a remaining amount of ink, a memory (7) for storing receiving data, and a control unit for controlling an operation of the recording unit to record an image in accordance with the receiving data, and controlling the memory to store image data in the memory. The control unit...

17 An exhaust gas filter element has a corrugated honeycomb structure and is made of porous fibrous ceramics. The cells are alternately plugged at the ends. The material at an inflow and/or outer circumference region has a higher dielectric constant than at the inside region. The filter element can be regenerated by irradiating it with microwaves after it has been partially blocked by particulates...

2076529 9112815 PCTABS00007 The invention is directed to compositions and methods for treating an infection caused by an organism susceptible to a .beta.-lactam antibiotic comprising two or more active agents. In one embodiment, the composition comprises: (1) a .beta.-lactam antibiotic and (2) a cationic oligopeptide. In another embodiment, the invention is also directed to a composition comprisin...

A digital audio system employs an adaptive differential analog-to- digital converter 2 prior to recording or transmission and an adaptive differential digital-to-analog converter 12 to recover the audio signal after replay or reception. In order to reduce unmasked quantizing noise modulation in the digital encoder, low frequency signals are boosted by a variable response circuit 4 in the presence ...

5-Carbonate derivatives of milbemycins A3, A4 and A5 have valuable acaricidal, anthelmintic and other activities, especially against endo- and exoparasites.

Branched fructo-oligosaccharides consisting of a chain which comprises mainly fructose units and has a preferred chain length of 2 to 15 units, on which are fixed one or more side chains mainly composed of fructose units. The length of the side chain, which may be straight or branched, is of 1 to 10 units. A composition consisting of one or more of the above mentioned branched fructo-oligosacchari...

One aspect of the present invention relates to an absorbent structure and garment comprising a superabsorbent material having a free swell rate of less than about 60 seconds and a five-minute AUL of at least 15 g/g. The superabsorbent material is contained by containment means, such as a fibrous matrix, such that the superabsorbent material is present in said absorbent structure in an amount of fr...

2076625 9112794 PCTABS00007 Aqueous phospholipid dispersion, whose membranes are formed from a mixture of phosphatidylcholine and a specific phospholipid basic substance, provide a particularly favourable loading of the vesicle membrane with lipophilic substances. The vesicle dispersions prepared according to a particular method can be used for pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions.

New hot corrosion-and oxidation-resistant nickel-base alloys consisting essentially of about 40% chromium, 3% hafnium, 3% silicon, 0.2% yttrium, 0.5% titanium, up to 11% cobalt, remainder nickel are used to provide novel composite articles of nickel-base superalloy gas turbine hot section components having deposited coatings or bonded claddings of these protective alloys.

A method for enhancing the permeability of the skin or other biological membrane to a material such as a drug is disclosed. In the method, the drug is delivered in conjunction with ultrasound having a frequency of above about 10 MHz. The method may also be used in conjunction with chemical permeation enhancers and/or with iontophoresis.

2076748 9113354 PCTABS00007 A method of detecting a target moiety comprising the steps of (a) providing an antibody (37) specific to the target, (b) saturating the antibody's (37's) binding sites with a labelled form of the target (39), (c) flowing a liquid containing the target past the antibody (37), (d) allowing the target to displace the labelled antigen (39), and (e) detecting the displaced, ...

A fuel cartridge for a nuclear reactor of light-water type contains a number of vertical fuel rods 10 which, with interspaces in relation to one another in the lateral direction are arranged between a bottom plate 11 and a top plate 12. The bottom plate is provided with through-holes 35 for conducting water through the bottom plate and into the interspaces between the fuel rods. Arranged below the...
