Abstract: An atomic absorption spectrometer is disclosed which includes a monochromater and an optical path defined by a toric mirror, a flat mirror, a flat mirror, a flat mirror, a toric mirror, and a further toric mirror. The toric mirror directs light through entrance slit of the monochromater so that radiation is reflected from diffraction grating and out exit slit to a detector. A sample stage in the form of a furnace is located between the mirrors. The monochromater is oriented so that the entrance slit is arranged transverse to the vertical.

Abstract: The present invention relates to inhibitors of protein kinases. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention, processes for preparing the compounds and methods of using the compositions in the treatment of various disorders.

Abstract: A rheometer and method of making rheological measurements is disclosed, in which a sample is supported between plates and an alternating movement is applied by a driver, support rod and plate. Force and displacement measurements are taken and the property determined from those measurements. The vibrating signal which is applied is in the form of a frequency sweep signal having a monotonic group delay function. The top plate is provided with a surface which causes a meniscus to form up a side edge of the plate to reduce the spring nature of the sample when the movement is supplied to the sample, and a supporting rod which supports the top plate is preferably formed from a material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion so that the gap between the plates is maintained substantially constant if the sample is heated to take measurements at different temperatures.

Abstract: The strainer insert is a cylindrical chamber having strainer openings about a portion of its circumference. The strainer chamber is open at both ends. The bottom end is attached to a mounting base which is attached to a blender base. When the strainer chamber is attached in a blender it is completely contained in the blender mixing chamber and it encloses the blender blades. Items such as fruits or vegetables may then be placed in the strainer chamber and the open end closed with a lid. When the blender is activated the blender chops or cuts up the items into solid pieces and produces a liquid. The liquid passes through the strainer openings to be poured out of the blender mixing chamber.
