Abstract: The invention provides a deployable radiator for a space vehicle such as a satellite. The radiator of the invention has two radiating faces, one of which is insulating over a portion of its area so that during launch and while the satellite is being moved onto station, with the radiator in the stored position, it naturally serves to keep the highest possible temperature on board the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention is a composition comprising by weight:

Abstract: The invention concerns a flexible tubular pipe comprising, from inside outwards, a web (1) made of interlocked steel strips, an inner impervious sheath (2) in polymer material, a short-stepped helical winding of interlocked forming wire (3) arranged above the internal sheath (2), at least a hoop (4) consisting of a short-stepped metal wire winding without interlock, at least a long-stepped tractive armouring layer (5) wound around the pressure vault and an outer polymer protective and sealing sheath (8); the sickness (Ef) of the hoop (4) is greater than the thickness (Ez) of the metal forming wire (3), preferably by one to three times.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing polyamides, in which, in a first step, the anionic polymerization of at least one lactam is carried out and then, in a second step, a heat treatment is carried out on the polymer obtained, which has a distribution of the molar masses measured by SEC having a shape close to a Gaussian curve with a high-mass tail, at a high enough temperature and for a long enough time so as to obtain a unimodal distribution of the molar masses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel thrombolitic v-PA's which dissolve blood clots in the human body and thus are suitable for the treatment of cardial infarction, for example.

Abstract: A hand holdable manually dispensing mastic container is made from two sheets of transparent plastics material which are welded together at a seam around the periphery thereof. The container is formed to have a dispensing edge and a filling end which are parallel to one another. The container has a generally elongate shape which diverges from the dispensing edge to a widest dimension, and parallel to the dispensing edge, and then converges to the filling end. Thus, two trapezoidal portions are formed. The volume of the portion closest to dispensing edge is smaller than the volume of the portion closest to the filling end.

Abstract: Polyisoprenes having a minimum of 60% of 1,2- and 3,4-vinyl structures are useful as vibration-damping materials.The polyisoprenes are used individually or as a mixture with inorganic or organic fillers, or in the form of block copolymers.
