Abstract: This invention relates to certain herbicidal sulfonamides, agriculturally suitable compositions thereof and a method for their use as a general or selective preemergent or postemergent herbicide or as a plant growth regulant.
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for reducing odor perceived by a nearby community from an odor-emitting system, e.g., sewage treatment, etc., by adsorbing on core particles, as described, condensible components present in the system. The malodorous components then cannot adsorb in a film of condensible components on the aerosol to be carried by the aerosol plume into the surrounding community, but remain with the humid gas plume to be dispersed upward into the atmosphere. The process is useful for any system which contains condensible components and malodorous components and whose emissions form aerosols.
Abstract: An electroconductive powder composition of antimony-containing tin oxide with an outer layer of hydrous metal oxide having an isoelectric point in the range from about 5 to 9.
Abstract: Non-stick coating systems can be applied to untreated smooth glass and ceramic substrates with a polysiloxane undercoat overlaid with a second undercoat of polyamide imide preferably containing colloidal silica and surfactant, with each undercoat in the range of 0.1-5.0 microns thick.
Abstract: A photosensitive element adapted for the preparation of colored images is disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain herbicidal thiadiazoloazines, agriculturally suitable compositions thereof and a method for their use as a general or selective preemergent or postemergent herbicide or as a plant growth regulant.
Abstract: A coating process and coating composition are disclosed wherein the coating is a silica sol and a polymerizable silane which have had their alkali metal cation content reduced to prevent blistering and loss of adhesion.
Abstract: A method for making a polyurethane elastomer tire fill composition wherein a mixture of a) a low functionality (2.0-2.3) 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, such as a carboiimide-modified (2.0 functionality) 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and b) a nonreactive diluent, such as an oil extender, is mixed with a polyol, such as polypropylene oxide triol. The reaction mixture is inserted into a tire casing under pressure and cured therein to form an essentially void-free tire filler. The tire fill composition maintains pressure within the tire during use and has excellent physical and thermal properties. No prepolymer step is necessary in the method.
Abstract: A novel cationic electrodepositable resin which offers reduced bake off lose, reduced yellowing of topcoats and very smooth film is disclosed. The backbone resin contains the basic polyepoxy amine adduct but it is crosslinked with a diol modified methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) which is blocked with a mixture of various alcohols.
Abstract: A process for preparing 2-amino-4-methyl-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine by reacting dialkyl-N-cyanoimidocarbonate with acetamidine hydrochloride or an O-alkylacetamidate hydrochloride under basic conditions.
Abstract: A connector is provided with at least one contact element for making a clamping connection to a conductor of, for example, a cable. The contact element is provided with a spring-loaded and pivotable wall having an edge for acting on the conductor, which edge comprises a boundary edge of an opening or channel in the wall. The other end of the contact element is rigidly connected and fixed to the housing at its base where it acts as a pivot point for the spring-loaded wall of the contact element.
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing photosensitive material and, in particular, to a compact table top apparatus for developing silver halide photosensitive materials, such as a sheet or web of photographic film or paper or plate, and its use.

Abstract: The modulator comprises an integrated optical switch (6) receiving at an input a linearly-polarized optical carrier and transferring same to a first or a second output (P3, P4), according to the logic values of the bits of a modulating binary data signal. The radiations outgoing from the switch are sent to a polarizing beam splitter (13) with their original polarization or with a polarization rotated by 90.degree. depending on the switch output (P3, P4) from which they come. A signal with the original polarization or with the polarization rotated by 90.degree. is present at the splitter output, depending on the logic values of the bits of the modulating signal.

Abstract: Arylthioalkylphenylcarboxylic acids are provided which have the structure ##STR1## wherein Ar represents an aryl group including phenyl or naphthyl which may or may not include one or more substituents, X is COOR where R is hydrogen, alkali metal, or lower alkyl, or X is 5-tetrazolyl or ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or aryl, p is 1 to 5, and m is 1 to 4. These compounds are cardiovascular agents which exhibit thromboxane antagonist activity and thus are useful in the treatment of thrombotic and vasospastic diseases.
Abstract: Cleaning device for harvested sugar cane or similar products having a guiding duct (10) which receives, from a throwing assembly (L), cane billets and trash, sending them to a deflecting duct (20) which receives the material through a first inlet (21) communicating with an upper outlet of the guiding duct (10) and placed on a laterally broadened portion of the duct, having a diverging polygonal structure (12) that spreads the material being sent to the deflecting duct (20). The deflecting duct (20) has a body portion (23) provided with curves that spread the billets and trash now-incorporated in a flowing mixture containing air, which was introduced in the deflecting duct (20) through air inlets placed on the upper portion (22) and lower portion (25) of its inlet (21) and through auxiliary lateral air inlets (26) provided on each side of the body portion (23).
