The present invention relates to antitumor 4 min -demethylepipodophyllotoxin glucosides having phosphate or sulfonate substituents on the sugar portion of the molecule.

The present invention relates to certain substituted purine arabinosides and their pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives especially esters and their use in the treatment and prophylaxis of varicella zoster virus and cytomegalovirus infections. The invention also includes pharmaceutical formulations and processes for the preparation of such compounds.

The present invention relates to a novel process for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are in communication with a filler material (2) or a preform, at least at some point during the process, which permits molten matrix metal (3) to spontaneously infiltrate the filler material (2...

The invention relates to a drill bit of the percussion type having a bit body (10) of steel the front working portion of which is provided with at least one slot (11) in which an insert (12) is attached by brazing means. In order to substantially reduce the braze stresses and thereby enable usage of cemented carbide with higher hardness and reduced need of regrinding the drill bit of the invention...

An apparatus 1 for depositing onto the surface of a moving ribbon of hot glass 12 a coating formed from the reaction of at least two gaseous reactants. The apparatus includes an open-faced coating chamber 10 in which the gaseous reactants are caused to flow in contact with the glass surface to be coated in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the glass so as to form t...

A process for coating a moving ribbon of hot glass by chemical vapour deposition comprises establishing a first flow of a first reactant gas along the hot glass surface substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the glass, establishing a second flow of a second reactant gas as a turbulent flow at an angle to the glass surface, introducing said second flow into said first flow at said a...

The invention concerns novel, pharmaceutically useful 1,3-dioxane alkenoic acid derivatives of the formula I containing a pyridyl moiety at position 4 of the dioxane ring and in which the groups at positions 2, 4 and 5 have cis-relative stereochemistry, X is hydrogen, alkoxy or hydroxy, Y is vinylene, n is 1 or 2, A<1> is alkylene, the substituents R<1> and R<2> at position 2 of the dioxane ring h...

The arcs (3 to 13) cut in the soft parts (1) by a circle of radius equal to approximately half that of the disc and the centre of which is at a distance from that of the disc equal to half the radius of the disc, have a length between 0.5 and 5 mm. Polishing of workpieces.
