An improved pharmaceutical or veterinary composition contains galactitol as carrier for the therapeutic agent. Preferred therapeutic agents include anti-infective and anti-cancer drugs, preferably cytotoxic agents and lymphokines. One example is a lyophilized composition of about 20 parts by weight of cyclophosphamide, taken as the anhydride, about 5 to 21 parts by weight of galactitol as excipien...

A process for polymerizing or copolymerizing fluorinated monomers, in an aqueous dispersion, by using radical starters and fluorinated surfactants, characterized by working in the presence of a perfluoropolyether having neutral end groups and prepared in the form of an aqueous microemulsion, in order to increase the polymerization rate, to increase the process reproducibility and to minimize the c...

The invention relates to an electrochemical cell having a negative electrode of a stable hydride-forming material, in which a high power density at a low temperature is obtained by adding from 5 to 45% by weight of LaNi5 or a comparable high-capacity material having a higher plateau pressure than that of the stable hydride-forming material.

The invention relates to an electrochemical cell having a negative electrode of a stable hydride-forming material, in which a high power density at a low temperature and a rapid activation (as a function of the number of charge and discharge cycles) are obtained by adding to the electrochemically active material one or more metals selected from the group formed by Ni, Pd, Pt, Ir and Rh. The activa...

An edge-encapsulated glazing module for a vehicle has a moulded encapsulation (2) which embodies means to provide a function other than the fitting of the module to a vehicle body. The said means may be means (8) for mounting a lighting unit (9); conduit means (26); or a mounting (32) for a vehicle accessory. The lighting unit (9) may be a rear light for the vehicle. The conduit means may comprise...

Posts placed alongside roads and provided with information for drivers of vehicles may often be exposed to damage which generally requires complete replacement. According to the present invention, this is avoided by using a post which consists of a lower foundation part 1 and an upper part 2 bearing the information, which parts are joined to each other by means of one or more securing members 3 in...

Two differently sized hoses are used, the smaller of which blows gas through fine holes into the larger at a distance from its open lower end. This causes water and gas to be driven upwards, whilst at the same time the chemicals in the water are divided between the water and the gas. - An analysis instrument is located at the upper end of the larger hose to receive the mixture of water vapour, gas...
