Abstract: This invention relates to pyridizinone derivatives of formula I ##STR1## wherein the various substituents are defined in the specification, and salts thereof, which have useful pharmacological properties, in particular endothelin receptor-antagonistic properties. The compounds are thus useful for the treatment of illnesses associated with endothelin activities, such as hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, coronary heart disease, renal, cerebral and myocardial ischaemia, renal insufficiency, cerebral infarct, subarachnoid haemorrhage, arteriosclerosis pulmonary high blood pressure, inflammations, asthma, prostate hyperplasia, endotoxic shock and in complications after the administration of immunosuppressants which produce renal vasoconstriction.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an improved trim tab actuator. A ram adapted to be connected at a first end to the trim tab and connected at a second end to the drive. The ram has a longitudinal portion equal to at least the maximum stroke of the ram and is received in the longitudinal bore of which longitudinal bore has a length equal to or greater than the maximum stroke of the ram. An inboard seal is disposed between the ram and bore, the inboard seal being positioned inboard of the longitudinal portion of the ram when the ram is retracted.

Abstract: A fiber-treating agent is obtained by dissolving in water a reaction product resulting from co-hydrolysis and condensation of (A) a fluorinated alkyl group-containing alkoxysilane, (B) an alkyl group-containing alkoxysilane, (C) an amino group-containing alkoxysilane, and (D) an epoxy group-containing alkoxysilane. The fiber-treating agent is water soluble and thus safe while it imparts satisfactory water repellency, oil repellency, stain-proof property and even durable water repellency.

Abstract: The invention provides a process of manufacture of a recombinant protein called Asp-Pallidipin. Asp-Pallidipin inhibits the collagen-induced platelet aggregation of mammalian platelets. The Asp-Pallidipin comprises(i) a protein (Pallidipin) selected from the group of Pallidipin proteins, and(ii) the amino acid aspartic acid,wherein the aspartic acid is connected by a peptide bond with the N-terminal end of Pallidipin.

Abstract: A process for the regeneration of a sulfur containing catalysts, wherein the catalyst is stripped of sulfur before the oxychlorination treatment of the regeneration process, typically before the catalyst is sent to the regeneration zone. The process is particularly useful for catalyst employed in hydrocarbon conversions such as dehydrogenation reactions, particularly those which comprise the injection of sulfur and/or at least one sulfur compound before or simultaneously to the introduction of the charge into the first reaction zone.

Abstract: 9H-Pyrido?3,4-b!indole compounds have a pronounced leukotriene-B.sub.4 antagonistic action, and thus show a completely different spectrum of activity than known .beta.-carbolines.

Abstract: A highly conductive polymer is obtained by electrochemically oxidizing a polysilane.

Abstract: A chemically amplified positive resist composition contains (A) an organic solvent, (B) a base resin in the form of a polyhydroxystyrene having phenolic hydroxyl groups some of which are protected with alkoxyalkyl groups and having a weight-average molecular weight of 3,000-300,000 and a dispersity of 1.0 to 1.5, (C) a photoacid generator, and (D) a vinyl ether group-containing compound. The composition is sensitive to actinic radiation, especially KrF excimer laser beam, has high sensitivity and resolution, and forms a resist pattern having improved plasma etching resistance and heat resistance.

Abstract: The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents as an addition to particulate pharmaceutical agent preparations can reduce side-effects on the cardiovascular system during administration.

Abstract: Proposed is a reliable method for the preparation of a water-base hair-care or skin-care toiletry preparation capable of imparting the hair or skin of the user with excellent touch feeling of smoothness and sleekness. The method comprises (a) preparing an aqueous dispersion of globular particles of a cured silicone rubber having a specified average particle diameter by the in situ crosslinking hydrosilation reaction in liquid droplets of a vinyl group-containing dimethylpolysiloxane and an organohydrogenpolysiloxane in combination in the presence of a surface active agent and (b) admixing a base mixture consisting of the principal ingredients of a water-base toiletry composition with a specified amount of the aqueous dispersion of the cured silicone rubber particles.

Abstract: 5-Pyrazolinone derivatives of the general formula I: ##STR1## in which the R.sup.1 -R.sup.3 variables are as defined herein and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof; processes for the preparation of these compounds, and in particular their use as selective inhibitors of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (cGMP PDE), thus as pharmaceutically active compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to polymerisable double-bond derived polyamides obtainable by reacting the polyamide in an aqueous solution with a compound which contains both a polymerisable double bond and an oxirane ring. These derived polyamides may be processed to provide graft polymers with improved properties.
