Insulating and levelling loose-fill material for jointless insulating layers on floors and the like, which contains as insulating material expanded perlite and a binder therefor, and can be compacted by the application of pressure to form a jointless insulating layer, the insulating and levelling layer consisting of 70 to 80% by weight of expanded perlite and 30 to 20% by weight of binder, the bin...

A wireless transmission method for power and data transmission, especially for a combined mechanically and electronically coded lock, uses power-supplied main electronics and part electronics with no power supply and with an energy storage circuit. Data and power transmission takes place respectively via coupling elements connected to the main electronics and part electronics. The power and data e...

Peptides with a phospholipase A2-inhibiting activity, whose C-terminal alpha -carboxyl group is protected by an ester or amide function or can be reduced to give the alcohol, are described. The peptides of the formula L - B - A in which L can be absent or denotes a lipophilic radical, B denotes a basic amino acid and A denotes an aromatic amino acid are used as medicines.

Ribonucleic acid in a mixture of crude nucleic acids is selectively hydrolyzed with 5'-phosphodiesterase to 5'-ribonucleotides without hydrolyzing desoxyribonucleic acid in the mixture. Selective hydrolysis is carrying out by contacting the crude nucleic acid mixture with 5'-phosphodiesterase immobilized on a polymer carrier. The crude mixture of nucleic acids is preferably obtained by aqueous ext...

An MR scanner performs a prescan before each MR scan sequence in which the optimal RF excitation frequency is automatically determined and applied to the scanner's transceiver. The prescan sequence includes a pair of MR measurements which provide data that allows the precise RF excitation frequency to be determined. The frequency used for the second MR measurement is determined in response to the ...

Concentrates containing glyphosate herbicide which on dilution give spray solutions having higher herbicidal unit activity than prior art solutions comprise: (a) solubilised glyphosate equivalent to at least 40 grams per litre of glyphosate acid; and (b) a surfactant which is (i) an amine having the formula where R represents a straight- or branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl group having f...

Process for direct drilling heavy or compacted soil comprising first killing the weeds and thereafter drilling into substantially undisturbed soil; wherein the porosity of the soil is improved before drilling by making a series of adjacent substantially parallel diagnonal cuts therethrough to fissure the body of the soil without substantial disturbance of the surface. Also claims a blade for carry...

A stabilized composition comprising an alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and an olefinically unsaturated compound and, based on the weight of the copolymer, from 0.03 to 5.0 %w to an additive selected from phenolic dicarboxylates, and phenolic dicarboxamides, optionally together with phenolic phosphites.
