PURPOSE:To improve the function and flexibility of an automatically handling device for printed matters, by handling signatures in such a way that the signatures are, in a horizontal attitude, accumulated into a small bundle and are further accumulated into a large bundle after the signatures are turned about, and the small bundles of signatures are alternately staggered or each are provided wi...

The invention is concerned with the novel piperazinylquinoline-3-carboxylic acids represented by formula (I) (I) or a pharmacologically-acceptable salt thereof, a process for the preparation of them, and a pharmaceutical composition which contains these new compounds as active ingredient and can be used as the therapeutic agent against bacteria.

Penem derivs. of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are new: R = gp.(a); R1 = H or ester gp. hydrolysable in vivo; A = 2-4C alkylene opt. having CH2 replaced by CO, O, S(O)m or NR3; B = CO, CS, CH2 or imino; R2 = H, HCO, alkylcarbonyl, aminocarbonyl or aminosulphonyl (both opt. substd. by N-alkyl), 2-5C alkoxycarbonyl, alkylsulphonyl or alkyl (opt.substd. by CONH2, alkyl-S(O)m...

Novel 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-methylpyrimidines and substituted amino derivatives thereof useful as inhibitors of leukotriene synthesis for the treatment of pulmonary, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and psoriasis. In addition these compounds are cytoprotective and therefore useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers. A process for the preparation of such active compounds by ring rearra...

The invention relates to an improvement in a method for recovering metal values from copper-containing and/or precious-metal containing materials which also contain antimony and/or bismuth in such high quantities as to render working-up of the materials with conventional metallurgical processes difficult or impossible. In accordance with the improvement, the material is subjected to a chlorination...

The invention relates to a longitudinally creped paper web for use in the manufacture of filter rods. In order to improve the filtering capacity and resistance to flow therethrough without weakening filter plugs formed from the web in respect of resistance to radial crushing the longitudinally creped web is provided with linear indentations transversely thereof which are sufficiently closely space...

Penem derivs. of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are new. R = gp.(a); R1 = H or ester residue hydrolysable in vivo; A = CO, or CH2; B = 2-5C alkylene; alk = 1-6C alkylene; n = 0 or 1.

The tree-fastening device comprises a support 3 and an assembly tree 4 connected thereto in a removable manner. The tree support contains a rod 6 which interacts with coupling jaws 11, 12. The latter penetrate into recesses 28, 29 of the assembly tree and engage at the rear of the collar 27 of the centring sleeve 26 of the rod which is driven into the assembly tree.

An inhaler for the inhalation of powdered pharmaceutical compositions from capsules. The inhaler comprises a chamber for receiving the capsules, which chamber has a greater internal width and a greater length than the diameter and length, respectively, of the capsule and which chamber comprises at one narrow end an air inlet and at the other end an air outlet, so that during inhalation through the...

A signal persistence time interval recognition system reproduces a condition of an input signal as a condition of an output signal only when the input signal condition persists for at least a predetermined time interval. The system periodically scans the input signal condition and has a first memory (ROM) for storing a start value indicative of the time interval. A second memory (RAM) stores a val...
