Abstract: An outlet pipe or tap is secured to a liquid containing bag by trapping the bag outlet region between inner and outer nested funnels. A leak proof seal is provided by disposing an O-ring sealing means between the funnels and moving one funnel axially relative to the other.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for electro elution of components separated by preparative electrophoresis on a gel comprising a tapered tube divided by a porous disc into an upper section which is open at the top of the tapered tube and a lower section which is closable by a removable cap. The apparatus also contains a dialysis membrane of substantially the same diameter as the removable cap and affixed to the removable cap such that the dialysis membrane is sealed against the end of the tapered tube when the removable cap encloses the lower section of the tapered tube. Following electro elution, the open upper section of the tapered tube can be sealed and the desired substance is withdrawn through the cap and dialysis membrane which encloses the lower end of the tube. An auxiliary funnel can be affixed to the open upper end of the tube to increase the capacity of the system.

Abstract: A process for spinning high-strength high-modulus, aromatic polyamide filaments is disclosed in which an acid solution containing at least 30 g per 100 ml acid of aromatic polyamide having an inherent viscosity of at least 4 and chain-extending bonds which are either coaxial or parallel and oppositely directed is extruded through a layer of inert noncoagulating fluid into a coagulating bath and then through a spin tube along with overflowing coagulating liquid. Additional coagulating liquid is jetted symmetrically about the filaments in a downward direction forming an angle of 0.degree. C. to 85.degree. with respect to the filaments within about 2.0 milliseconds from the time the filaments enter the spin tube. The flow rates of the jetted and the overflowing coagulating liquids are maintained constant. In the process, the mass-flow ratio, i.e.
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention an improved process for preparing resolved compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or acetyl.
Abstract: A press platen, for bonding ends of a conveyor belt, having both heating and cooling means, the heating means being electrical resistance elements positioned in grooves bars, within the platen, which bars also define cooling channels therein.
Abstract: The hinge has two leaves with interengaging knuckles. A plastic coated metal hinge pin extends through the knuckles and the knuckles are crimped onto the plastic coated hinge pin. The tighter the knuckles grip the pin the more the plastic is deformed and the greater will be the torque required to operate the hinge. The plastic is extruded onto the pin to bond the plastic to the pin.

Abstract: A fluorinated cation exchange membrane comprising one or more layers of an ion-conductive film and where one or more layers has adhered therein a fabric reinforcement made from fully ion conductive yarn that is oriented and then at least partially hydrolyzed, the film and the yarns being made of melt-fabricable fluorinated cation exchange resin precursors having a mole ratio of non-functional to functional monomer of 2.8-11.8:1, the mole ratio in the film adjacent to the fabric being different from that of the fabric by no more than three units, where the membrane is employed in the process of electrolyzing alkali metal halides.
Abstract: Antifungal carbinols, particularly .alpha.-styryl carbinols, and the corresponding epoxy carbinols are provided. These carbinol compounds have the formula: ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically or agriculturally suitable salt thereof wherein E is a bond or an oxygen atom with the proviso that when E is oxygen; R, R.sup.1 are not halogen; andL, A, B, Q, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and n are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: A concentrator arrangement (10) consists of a plate (11) to which there is coupled a plurality of first stages (14) with parabolic side walls (2, 3) arranged parallel to one another. The first stages (14) are optically coupled with second stages (15) whose coupling surfaces with the first stages (14) and whose coupling surfaces with the solar cells (21) are square. The side walls as well as the front and rear walls of the second stages (15) are parabolically curved.

Abstract: A process for forming polysilanes from silicon hydrides by contacting the silicon hydride with catalytic amounts of selected scandium, yttrium and rare earth metal hydrides, and a process for hydrosilation of alpha-olefins in which an alpha-olefin is contacted with a silicon hydride in the presence of catalytic amounts of selected scandium, yttrium and rare earth metal compounds.
Abstract: This invention concerns a method for color development of a surface having imagewise tacky and nontacky image areas which comprises(a) applying a dry nonelectroscopic toner to the image-bearing surface;(b) distributing the toner particles over the image surface whereby the distributed toner particles become embedded solely in the tacky image areas; and(c) physically removing toner particles from the nontacky areas which are left substantially free of the toner particles, the improvement wherein high resolution images having higher toned optical density with improved color purity are obtained using a dry nonelectroscopic humidity resistant toner having a size distribution within the range from about 0.2 micron to about 10 microns, not more than 10% of the toner being below 0.
