A method for rejuvenating a vinyl resin surface, the method comprising applying a composition to the surface, where the composition includes at lea st one organic solvent compound that has a solubility parameter (.delta.) of from about 8.0 to about 10.6 (cal/cm3)1/2.

The invention relates to a method for synchronizing information produced by imaging optical measuring devices ( 1 -N) which monitor the manufacturing and/or finishing process of a fibre web, in relation to the movement of the fibre web in the machine direction, which method comprises the steps of monitoring the moving fibre web and/or a moving means involved in its processing in the machine direct...

This invention relates to a method of intraoperative determination of O 2 consumption (VO2) and anesthetic absorption (VN2O among others), during low flow anesthesia to provide information regarding the health of the patient a nd the dose of the gaseous and vapor anesthetic that the patient is absorbing. In addition to the monitoring function, this information would allow setting of fresh gas flow...

A method of calculating the flux of any gas(x) in a CBC circuit for a ventilated or a spontaneous breathing subject, for example said gas(x) being; a) an anesthetic such as but limited to; i) N20; ii) sevoflurane; iii) isoflurane; iv) halothane; v) desflurame; or the like b) Oxygen; c) Carbon dioxide; or the like utilizing the following relationships;: Flux of gas(x) = SGF (Fsx - FEx) wherein SGF ...

I first wish to explain that these cards were created out of a personal need to package my own recorded material as well as my daughter's recorded music. In the beginning I folded card stock forwards and backwards in an accordion like manner and wit h only having double sided tape in the house, the front pocket for the cd/dvd gift card wa s accidentally discovered. I then accepted it as a good ide...

A system for decomposing a liquid or gaseous organic compound comprises a ultraviolet decomposition unit and an intermediate product treatment apparatus. The ultraviolet decomposition unit decomposes an organic compound contained in polluted liquid or polluted. gas by irradiating ultraviolet rays whose wavelength is less than 300nm to the polluted liquid or the polluted gas containing the organic ...

The present invention relates to the use of the dye methylene blue (MB) or a related compound to prevent or reverse an exaggerated hemodynamic reaction in animals in need thereof, including humans. More specifically, the present invention concerns the use of MB or a related compound to prevent or reverse hypotension, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or shock caused by the concomitant ingesti...

The present invention enables fast reconfiguration of paths associated wi th bufferless core nodes in a network where any two edge nodes may interconnect through a core node. In order to enhance network agility and performance, edge nodes associated with a core node are separated into a plurality of groups based on, for example, round- trip delay from the core node. This separates the short-haul p...

A powertrain controller of a vehicle provides fuel injection pulses based on gasoline operation. The pulse widths of the fuel injection pulses are modified with reference to air temperature, engine speed, and exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) content to control fuel injectors for an alternative fuel such as natural gas. The EGO content, based on alternative fuel operation, is detected and compared to a des...

An orally administered mixture (I) comprises (in daily dose amounts): (a) 5-30 g pectin and/or guar powder; and (b) 1-3 g of the (omega-3)-fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as powder or capsules or in fish oil.

To hold air tightness with a throttle body at a leading end of a fuel injection valve and air tightness with a fuel supply pipe at a rear end of the fuel injection valve, and to improve an assembling layout property between the fuel supply pipe and the throttle body, a first seal ring (4) is arranged at a leading end (JA) of a fuel injection valve (J), inner and outer diameter portions (4A, 4B) of...

The drive slip regulation method has the required drive torque (1,1') to be delivered by the engine reduced to a pre-control value (5) when a driven wheel exhibits slip above a given threshold value during starting off, with regulation (7,8) of the driven wheel after a defined time interval (6). The vehicle acceleration or velocity is determined during this time interval and the interval is extend...

A process for preparing a catalyst which process comprises the steps of: (a) introducing a Group 8 metal compound onto a carrier, (b) converting a first portion of the Group 8 metal compound on the carrier into metallic species in a liquid phase reaction, and (c) subsequently converting a further portion of the Group 8 metal compound on the carrier into metallic species in a gas phase reaction; a ...

The disengaging unit comprises at least two disengaging systems (101, 102), which serve to actuate the clutches. Each has its own ramp device (106). The disengaging systems are arranged relative to one another so that they are coupled by their respective ramp devices. The actuation of the clutches acts on operating devices (103, 104).
