Abstract: Nitrone, nitroso, and nitroxide spintraps and spin labels and their reduction products are claimed for the prevention and treatment of fibrocystic disease of breast, premenstrual dysphoric syndrome and associated symptomology, prevention and treatment of migraine headache, cyclic vomiting syndrome, rectal hemorrhoids, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral vascular disease, influenza, peridontitis and gingivitis, herpes zoster, herpes simplex, and post-herpetic neuralgia.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a device for the styling and/or drying of hair, including an exothermic material that is enclosed by a gas-permeable film. Applied to the outer surface of the film at least in certain areas thereof is a water-absorbent fabric, which comes into direct contact with the hair when the device is used. The device finds application preferably as a self-contained, regenerable hair roller.

Abstract: In a first embodiment, a beverage brewing machine has a reservoir in which water is heated, which is arranged upstream of a brewing unit and heatable by an electric heating device. At the bottom is an outlet valve which opens only on reaching a given water temperature so that the hot water flows through an outlet pipe downstream of the outlet valve from the reservoir over the upper surface of a product, preferably ground coffee or tea-leaves, contained in a brewing unit, from which it goes to a receptacle as a beverage after extraction of the product. Hot water from the reservoir can also be taken via a pipe along paths other than over the upper surface of the product into the receptacle. The pipe takes a siphon-like path, the vertex of which is far enough above the bottom of the reservoir so that hot water also flows via the pipe to the other path and not only over the upper surface of the product only when a certain level is reached in the reservoir.

Abstract: A beverage brewing machine including a reservoir for holding cold water, an electric heating unit which during operation heats the cold water to produce a brewing water, and a brewing unit. The brewing unit has a receiving chamber for receiving a filter insert into which product is placed. The filter insert has a water-permeable wall. The receiving chamber has a collecting groove which receives water and delivers the received water to the outside of the water-permeable wall when the filter insert is resting in the receiving chamber so that water flows through the sidewall into an upper portion of the product in the filter insert. The reservoir includes a first water outlet through which a portion of the brewing water is delivered onto the top of the product in the filter insert, and the reservoir includes a second water outlet through which another portion of the brewing water is delivered to the collecting groove and from there through the water permeable wall of the filter insert.

Abstract: In a device for drying organic solids of high water content, particularly brown coals, the embodiment is effected in order to simplify the preliminary heating with steam in such a way that the overflow lines (7) with shutoff device end in the vapor space of the attached vessels (8) and dampers (2). The ending of the overflow lines (7) is conveniently shaped as collecting funnel (FIG. 1).

Abstract: The device for drying coal comprises a plurality of damping vessels wherein the coal is pre-heated by means of steam and/or hot water, thereupon damped in a second stage, and finally pressure-released. The several damping vessels 1-17 are combined to form groups. Each of these groups is provided with a common group conduit 18 conveying live steam for damping, with a common group conduit 19 conveying wet steam from vessels for overflowing other vessels, and with a common group conduit 20 conveying hot water for rinsing. Over the damping vessels 1-17, there are provided distribution conduits which extend over all groups and which are conveying live steam 38, wet steam for overflowing 39, and hot water for rinsing 40. The group conduits 18,19,20 are connectable via valves 41,42,43 to the distribution conduits 38,39,40. Thus it is possible to include selectively into the procedure of any group any vessel of another group or the additional vessel 17 (FIG. 1).
