Abstract: Disclosed herein is the use of an extract from an Aster species for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation. The extract is extracted from fresh and/or dried roots and rhizomes of a Tatarian aster (Aster tartaricus) plant, in which the extraction uses water or 40-95% (v/v) ethanol as an extractant to obtain an extraction mixture. In some embodiments, the extraction mixture is then eluted with water followed by at least one eluent.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing slurry for polishing a copper layer without excessively or destructively polishing a barrier layer beneath the copper layer is disclosed and includes an acid, a surfactant, and a silica sol having silica polishing particles that are surface modified with a surface charge modifier and that have potassium ions attached thereto. A method for preparing the chemical mechanical polishing slurry and a chemical mechanical polishing method using the chemical mechanical polishing slurry are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous cleaning composition for use in a cleaning process during or after a chemical mechanical planarization for a copper integrated circuit processing, comprising 0.05 to 20 wt % of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic base, 0.05 to 50 wt % of an alcohol amine, 0.01-10 wt % of a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and water. When used during or after the planarization process, the inventive cleaning composition of the invention can effectively remove residual contaminants from the surfaces of the wafers and simultaneously maintain a good surface roughness of the wafers.

Abstract: The present invention provides an oscillating faucet structure of a dual-outlet system to improve the shortcomings of a typical faucet of a dual-outlet system. The faucet structure includes a main body, seat post and combined footstock. A hollow groove is assembled within the seat post at top of the main body and used to accommodate the first and second water regulators. The main body has first and oscillating outlet heads, which can freely oscillate for flexible regulation. The combined footstock is assembled on top of the seat post of main body for mounting the second oscillating outlet head, thus enabling easy removal, repair or replacement of defective components with improved applicability.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intake pipe for drinking water taps, including a metal screwed conduit and a plastic inner pipe. The metal screwed conduit has screw threads configured on its periphery, and a through pipe hole inside. The plastic inner pipe is placed in the through pipe hole. On top of the plastic inner pipe, there is an expanded ring to be held tightly against the top end of the metal screwed conduit. The bottom end of the plastic inner pipe extends to the bottom of the metal screwed conduit. An O-ring seal is placed between the metal screwed conduit and the plastic inner pipe. The O-ring seal can be configured between the top end of the metal screwed conduit and the expanded ring of the plastic inner pipe, or between the through pipe hole of the metal screwed conduit and the outside wall of the plastic inner pipe.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drinking faucet with monitoring device, which resolves the shortcomings of a typical monitoring mechanism in the main valve body that is exposed to dampness and is vulnerable to damage. The monitoring mechanism is laterally assembled onto the switching control valve seat of the main valve body of the drinking faucet. So, it is possible to prevent any fault of electronic components from dampness, prolong their service life, and facilitate the repair and replacement in the event of damage or faulty components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary valve structure, which has a rotary water passage structure including a switching component and fixed hole. A first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion are placed laterally onto the switching component, whilst a first punch hole and second punch hole are placed separately onto the fixed hole. A coupling portion is placed between the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component. When the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component are placed opposite to the first punch hole and second punch hole of the fixed hole respectively, the first punch hole and second punch hole form a through-flow structure that prevents water from contacting the metal portions of the housing.

Abstract: A chemical mechanical polishing composition includes: an abrasive component, a corrosion inhibitor, a surfactant, a diacid compound, a metal residue inhibitor, and water. The metal residue inhibitor is selected from the group of compounds having the following formulas: and combinations thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, and C2-C6 alkylidyne; and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are independently selected from H and C1-C6 alkyl.

Abstract: A control valve for a drinking water fountain includes a valve housing having an inside formed with a receiving chamber, and a valve seat mounted in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. The valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. Thus, the valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is closely secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing and cannot be rotated relative to the valve housing.

Abstract: A drinking water fountain includes a valve body, a heating device, a control valve, a cold water inlet conduit, a cold water outlet conduit, a heating conduit, and a hot water inlet conduit. Thus, the drinking water fountain can provide drinking water, including cold water, hot water and mixed water. In addition, the control valve is used to control the drinking water flowing outward from the water outlet pipe, including cold water, hot water and mixed water, thereby facilitating a user drinking the drinking water.

Abstract: A wasted water draining valve for a drinking water fountain includes a valve body having a bottom having a first side formed with a wasted water inlet channel and a second side formed with a wasted water outlet channel connected to the inlet channel. Thus, the wasted water inlet channel of the valve body is inclined relative to the wasted water outlet channel, so that the wasted water inlet channel of the valve body is directly connected to the wasted water outlet channel without having to provide a U-shaped tube to connect the wasted water inlet channel and the wasted water outlet channel of the valve body, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.

Abstract: A valve device includes a housing including a peripheral valve seat extended into a chamber, to separate the chamber into two separated spaces. A valve member includes an outer peripheral groove to receive a sealing ring for engaging with the peripheral valve seat of the housing, to make a seal between the valve member and the peripheral valve seat, and a casing is secured to the valve member. A spring member may bias the casing away from the peripheral valve seat, to force the sealing ring of the valve member against the peripheral valve seat, and to make a fluid tight seal between the valve member and the peripheral valve seat.
