Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of nalbuphine and indomethacin have been found to exhibit unexpectedly enhanced analgesic activity by applying an analysis model which considers data characterizing the analgesic effect of both the pure components as well as the fixed dose ratio combinations. This synergism enables the use of lower doses of either or both drugs with a concomitant reduction in risk of possible side effects.
Abstract: Apparatus and method for automatically filling bags, which have been automatically formed on a vertical-form-fill-seal machine, with a predetermined weight of particulate material, said apparatus comprising a feeder means including a weighing means for measuring the loss in total weight of the feeder means and its contents.
Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of nalbuphine and zomepirac have been found to exhibit unexpectedly enhanced analgesic activity by applying an analysis model which considers data characterizing the analgesic effect of both the pure components as well as the fixed dose ratio combinations. This synergism enables the use of lower doses of either or both drugs with a concomitant reduction in risk of possible side effects.
Abstract: The gelling of zinc-containing iminated acrylate coating compositions is prevented by including an effective chelating amount of 2,4-pentanedione in the composition.
Abstract: A triple row coax cable connector providing a pluggable interface between a printed circuit board and a pair of coaxial cables. Signal wires connect to a terminal within the connector after their poly(tetrafluoroethylene) jackets are pushed back by a funnel shaped member. Drain wires are soldered to strain relief bars projecting through holes in a metal plate separating the funnel shaped members.
Abstract: A multiconnection electrical assembly employing a jack and complementary plug. The jack has cavities for receiving two inserts containing multiple spring wire conductors and a plug containing multiple insulated wires pierced by insulation displacement contacts. The assembly provides for electrically connecting the wires of the plug with the spring wires of the two inserts.
Abstract: Means for attaching boards on a base, e.g. on a wall or ceiling, comprising U-shaped fixing pieces located between the edges of the boards and engaging therewith, and T-shaped profiled strips which cover the joints between boards. The U-shaped fixing pieces carry spikes directed obliquely towards the base and permitting the middle leg of the T of the profiled strip to be introduced without exertion into the U channel of the fixing piece, but which resist the pulling out of the profiled strip.
Abstract: The present invention provides a low .sup.82 Sr breakthrough eluent and method of generating .sup.82 Rb from .sup.82 Sr from a .sup.82 Sr charged inorganic adsorbant column. Eluting is done with a pharmaceutically acceptable saline and buffer solution, which is preferably isotonic .sup.82 Sr breakthroughs of 10.sup.-8 are obtained at clinically useful elution rates greater than 10 ml per minute. Phosphate and carbonate buffers are preferred. Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and ZrO.sub.2 are preferred inorganic radiation damage resistant adsorbants.
Abstract: A process of heat transfer printing the surface of a filled polymeric article, wherein the filled polymeric article consists essentially of an inorganic filler, preferably alumina trihydrate, and a polymer with an affinity for disperse dyes, preferably polymethyl methacrylate. A desired design is printed onto a carrier using sublimable disperse dyes. The filled polymeric article is preheated, the carrier supporting sublimable disperse dye is placed in intimate contact with the preheated article, and sufficient heat is applied to cause the dye to sublime, then diffuse into the surface of the article.
Abstract: The properties of copper-tin-lead alloys are improved with respect to mechanical resistance and resistance to corrosion by the incorporation therein, in specific proportions of nickel. Antifriction layers on steel supporting strips are obtained by sintering and rolling onto steel strips metal powder particles obtained by powdering a metal alloy of 2-10% nickel, 8-27% lead, 0.5-10% tin and the balance copper.
Abstract: In a process for laminating a photosensitive layer to a aluminum or copper substrate surface by means of nip rolls, the improvement comprising the sequential steps of:(a) rendering the substrate surface clean, as defined by the uniform water film test;(b) within about 1 minute after rendering the substrate clean and immediately prior to lamination, applying a thin layer of liquid to form an interface between the substrate surface and the photosensitive layer;(c) displacing the thin layer of liquid from the interface by absorption into the photosensitive layer during lamination, and(d) within 30 seconds after lamination, removing the support for the photosensitive layer without delamination of the photosensitive layer from the substrate by bending the support back along a longitudinal axis of the photosensitive layer.
Abstract: Contacting selected polymers with Cl.sub.2 O or HOCl to effect (1) substitution of chlorine for hydrogen bonded to carbon, and (2) crosslinking when the polymer contains carbon-carbon unsaturation.
Abstract: In the formulation of high solids pigmented film-forming coating compositions comprising low molecular weight polyester oligomers, co-dispersing fumed silica with the pigment mill base, then incorporating this co-dispersion into the composition yields enhanced color stability for the coating composition.
Abstract: The alcohol content of an original wine is reduced to produce a low calorie wine having the character of the original wine by evaporating alcohol from the wine in a centrifugal film evaporator. In the evaporator, a thin film of wine is formed by centrifugation and alcohol is evaporated under vacuum and at an elevated temperature. The evaporated alcohol is recovered as a high proof by-product.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of nalbuphine and flurbiprofen have been found to exhibit unexpectedly enhanced analgesic activity by applying an analysis model which considers data characterizing the analgesic effect of both the pure components as well as the fixed dose ratio combinations. This synergism enables the use of lower doses of either or both drugs with a concomitant reduction in risk of possible side effects.
Abstract: Aqueous quenching baths containing as an essential constituent a water-soluble salt of a copolymer of maleic, citraconic, or itaconic anhydride and a long chain alpha olefin are useful in quenching metal at cooling rates which are slower than that of water, and may be as slow as or slower than those obtained using a hydrocarbon oil as the quenching medium.
