The apparatus is for holding the stator of the rotatating vessel of a centrifuge in a way allowing for an easy and rapid handling. It includes: a pivotable swing arm (50) having a first end (52) and a second end (54), the second end (54) having an engagement portion (56) configured to engage the stator of the rotating vessel; a shaft (70) connected to the first end (52) of the swing arm (50) for s...

Oriented polyolefine films for heat sealed packaging and twist wrapping are obtained by blending under high shear conditions polyolefine and a rosin or resin, preferably hydrogenated to form a concentrate containing from 10 to 90 wt.%, preferably 20 to 60 wt.% of the resin or rosin and subsequently blending the concentrate with a polyolefine and extruding the resultant blend to form a film.

R-(+)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindane of formula (I) and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addn. salts are new. (I) is prepd. by reacting R(-)-1-aminoindane with propargyl bromide or chloride in the presence of base (and opt. of solvent), then (I) is isolated by e.g. chromatography, distn. or selective extraction. The racemic starting material can be used instead and (I) then recovered by fractional ...

Processes and systems are provided for treating parenteral emulsion-containing medicament fluids are provided.

The use of dsRNA for the mfr. of a medicament to treat a dsRNA-deficient disease state, excluding HIV infection or cancer, is claimed. Also claimed is a method for diagnosing a dsRNA deficient disease state comprising assaying a sample from a patient for dsRNA and comparing results with a normal control. More specifically, the dsRNA is mismatched and has formula r1n.r(C11-14(n. The dsRNA deficienc...

This invention provides an improvement in the process for preparing C-20-amino-substituted derivatives of the macrolide antibiotics of the tylosin type by reductively aminating the C-20 aldehyde group in the parent antibiotic. The improvement comprises using formic acid as the reducing agent. The new process is less expensive and more amenable to scale-up than previously used processes, but is sti...

Uniform adherent coatings of antimicrobial agents are applied to the surface of implants by applying a film of silicone oil to the surface of the implant and contacting the film-bearing surface with antimicrobial agents in a film-adherent form. A durable antimicrobial coating is formed. The coated implants can be packaged using mechanized implant handling equipment without significant loss of the ...

Contemporary infection by Helicobacter pylori in a human or other mammal can be detected by detecting H. pylori-specific IgG antibody in saliva, or other mucous secretion, with an antigen preparation from H. pylori. Diagnosis depends on detection of the antigen-antibody complex. For improved reliability, the antigen preparation comprises H. pylori-derived components of about 265 kDa and about 340 ...

TITLE: TENNIS RACQUET AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD INVENTOR W. H. VELKE An improved racquet, such as a tennis racquet, which may be manufactured by way of an injection moulding method rather than by hollow resin casting, thereby facilitating the inclusion of certain frame surface features, which act to reduce drag and to modulate racquet frame resonancy, increasing efficiency of such racquet at a ...

FIBER OPTIC CABLE CONNECTORS PROVIDING STRAIN RELIEF A fiber optic cable connector secures a fiber optic cable to an equipment housing (e.g., a CATV equipment housing) and allow individual fibers of the cable to pass into the housing in a strain relieved condition for connection to electro-optical componentry. A strength component of the fiber optic cable is clamped within the connector body, exte...
