Abstract: A mixing paddle specifically designed to produce pastry dough is disclosed. The mixing paddle is comprised of a collar, a rim, and a plurality of parallel blades enclosed within the rim. An axis from the collar to a bottom of the mixing paddle bisects the rim, creating a first side and a second side.

Abstract: A mixing paddle is comprised of a compound, integral center shaft, a rim, a first plurality of parallel blades and a second plurality of parallel blades. The compound, integral center shaft bisects the rim, creating a first side of the rim and a second side of the rim. The first plurality of parallel blades is disposed between the compound, integral center shaft and the first side of the rim. The second plurality of parallel blades is disposed between the compound, integral center shaft and the second side of the rim. The first plurality of parallel blades is orthogonal to the second plurality of parallel blades.

Abstract: A mixing paddle for mixing dough and for cutting and mixing dense ingredients such as butter and shortening into dry ingredients such as flour has roughened cutting blades oriented at many angles. Some blades are attached between a central blade support shaft and a symmetrical rim. The blades may have roughed cutting edges to increase variety in fat chunk size and to improve mixing.

Abstract: A mixing paddle for mixing dough and for cutting and mixing dense ingredients such as butter and shortening into dry ingredients such as flour has roughened cutting blades oriented at many angles. Some blades are attached between a central blade support shaft and a symmetrical rim. Blades near the apex of the rim rotate in concentric double cone paths. The blades may have roughed cutting edges to increase variety in fat chunk size and to improve mixing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparation of ruthenium-based carbene catalysts with chelating alkylidene ligands (so-called “Hoveyda-type catalysts”) in a cross metathesis reaction by reacting a ruthenium-alkylidene complex with an olefin derivate in the presence of a polymer-supported cation-exchange resin (PSR) acting as a ligand (i.e. phosphine or amine) scavenger. Preferably, penta-coordinated ruthenium benzylidene or indenylidene carbene complexes are employed. The polymer-supported cation-exchange resin (PSR) may be an acidic resin (comprising sulfonic acid or carboxylic groups) or a resin containing carboxylic acid chloride (—COCl) groups or sulfonyl chloride (—SO2Cl) groups. The process is versatile and environmentally friendly; high yields are obtained.

Abstract: Improved catalysts useful in alkyne or olefin metathesis are made by bringing into contact a multi-coordinated metal complex comprising a multidentate Schiff base ligand, and one or more other ligands, with a selected activating compound under conditions such that at least partial cleavage of a bond between the metal and the multidentate Schiff base ligand of said metal complex occurs.

Abstract: This invention provides metal complexes being useful as catalyst components in metathesis reactions and in reactions involving the transfer of an atom or group to an ethylenically or acetylenically unsaturated compound or another reactive substrate and, with respect to a sub-class thereof, for the polymerisation of ?-olefins and optionally conjugated dienes, with high activity at moderate tempera-tures. It also provides methods for obtaining polymers with very narrow molecular weight distribution by means of a living reaction. It also provides methods for making said metal complexes and novel intermediates involved in such methods. It further provides derivatives of said metal complexes which are suitable for covalent bonding to a carrier, the product of such covalent bonding being useful as a supported catalyst for heterogeneous catalytic reactions. It also provides a direct one-step synthesis of pyrrole, furan and thiophene compounds from diallyl compounds.

Abstract: A lightweight, portable frame allows a caregiver to fix one or two of the caregiver's lower legs and knees in position with respect to one or two of a patient's lower legs and knees so that the fixed lower legs together support and balance the combined body weight of the caregiver and patient, allowing the caregiver to pivot the patient up or down from a seated position by using the fixed knees as a fulcrum. The frame has a lower section with a central concavity that engages one person's leg below the knee from one direction, and peripheral concavities on either side of the central concavity that engage another person's legs below the knee from the opposite direction. Legs in the peripheral concavities partially straddle the leg in the central concavity. The frame is strapped onto the patient with an upper portion of the frame braced against the patient's upper leg.

Abstract: Improved catalysts useful in a number of organic synthesis reactions such as olefin metathesis and atom or group transfer reactions are made by bringing into contact a multi-coordinated metal complex comprising a multidentate Schiff base ligand, and one or more other ligands, with an acid under conditions such that said acid is able to at least partly cleave a bond between the metal and the multidentate Schiff base ligand of said metal complex, optionally through intermediate protonation of said Schiff base ligand.
