The incidence of peritonitis is reduced in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis by irradiating the peritoneum access tube connection with ultraviolet (UV) radiation so as to have an antimicrobial effect on the fluid flow path defined thereby prior to draining and infusion of dialysis fluid therethrough. The apparatus for effecting UV irradiation of the dialysis fluid flow path includes a hous...

A battery structure arranged to avoid the inefficiency problems which normally accompany container bulging in conventional absorbed electrolyte batteries such as sealed lead-acid batteries. The battery container is separated by partition walls into a plurality of working cells into which are closely fitted conventional stacks of plates and separators. The partition walls hold the plates and separa...

A mass of normally solid material, e.g. metal or metal alloy, which at a temperature within 25 percent of its equilibrium melting point DEG K has a surface tension of 10 to 2500 dynes/cm. and a viscosity of 0.001 to 1 poise, is changed into fine solid particulates, preferably flake-like to almost spherical shape. A solid mass (18) of the material has a portion thereof, e.g. tip or edge (19), uncon...

PURPOSE:To enable the formation of a thin film having (001) axes oriented perpendicularly to the surface of a quartz substrate when a thin film of a Tl- Ba-Ca-Cu oxide superconductor is formed on the substrate by sputtering, by specifying the ratio of Ar/O2, the pressure of gas and the temp. of the substrate. CONSTITUTION:The thin film of Ti4(Ba1-ACaA)BCuCOX (where A=0.3-0.7, B=5-9 and C=3-7) is f...

A brake caliper 6 which engages around a brake disc and brake shoes, is slidingly mounted on a brake carrier 5 by means of a pin 2 and is provided with piston 1, the piston 1 and/or pin being equipped with nonmetallic nonorganic materials 3 e.g. coatings of ceramic or enamellar materials in the sliding surfaces. The coatings may be applied to the sliding surfaces by means of plasma spraying.

The present invention is an improved plastic container having both improved thermal resistance and improved aroma and flavor barrier properties. The container comprises a polyethylene inner layer having a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 mil, and a coextruded polypropylene outer layer having a thickness such that the ratio of polypropylene to polylethylene is at least 2:1, and wherein the sur...

For a piston guided in a cylinder, especially in a brake cylinder for disc brakes, it is often necessary to provide a protective sleeve between the piston and the end of the bore to prevent the ingress of dirt into the cylinder space. The cylinder furthermore generally has a seal which seals off the cylinder relative to the piston, thereby preventing any of the pressure medium that drives the pist...

The invention relates to a device for positioning and/or rotating round objects (6) by means of a roller pair (1,1') rotatable in opposite directions, between which there is arranged a mouthpiece (2) which is connected to a vacuum source, sucks the round object (6) onto the rollers and holds it there in the machining state.
