Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing heterocyclic amide derivatives, to novel polymorphic forms obtained from said process and the use of said polymorphic forms for use in the treatment and prophylaxis of cancer.

Abstract: The invention pertains generally to a process and a composition-of-matter for a shelf-stable open cell polyurethane HFO-blown two-component polyurethane foam composition having improved flame-retardant properties through the use of at least one organo-tin containing catalyst and at least one potassium containing catalyst; and at least one dimorpholino-based ether catalyst, a ratio of the at least one potassium-containing catalyst to the tin-containing catalyst being at least approximately 1.5:1.0, the at least one surfactant comprising a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) backbone and polyethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide (PEO-PPO) random copolymer grafts; and the added water comprises at least 8 weight percent of said B-side reactants, the polyurethane foam having a Class B rating with a flame spread between 25 and 75 inclusive and a smoke developed of under 450 using ASTM E 84 testing protocol.

Abstract: A powered pallet truck with a selectable effective reduced turning radius, and an intermediate roller assembly for mounting on the powered pallet truck, are provided. The intermediate roller assembly can include a base, a linear actuator pivotably connected at a base end to the base, a linkage pivotably connected to the base, and at least one roller having an axis pivotably connected to an actuating end of the linear actuator and to the linkage, the at least one roller thus being movable between a retracted and an engagement position. The assembly can be mounted to the underside of a pallet truck fork having a load wheel. A turning radius effectively defined by a drive wheel of the pallet truck and the intermediate roller, or a turning radius effectively defined by the drive wheel and the load wheel, can be selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for heat exchange between flowable media. Said device comprises a heat exchanger block which is defined, on one side, by an inflow chamber (1) for supplying the liquid medium, and on the other side, by an outflow chamber (3) for evacuating the liquid medium. Said block comprises fluid channels (7) for the liquid medium, extending through the block from the inflow chamber (1) to the outflow chamber (3), and a covering plate (9) which extends from the inflow chamber (1) to the outflow chamber (3) and closes the block at one end. Said covering plate (9) is provided with at least one inner passage (13) which extends from the inflow channel (1) to the outflow channel (3) as a bypass flow channel bypassing the fluid channels (7).
