Abstract: A bag is converted into a box by overlapping flaps. The box is maintained in a closed position by closure members movable to a closed position in which the closure members overlap and maintain the flaps in overlapping state.

Abstract: A flat toothpick dispenser supports toothpicks in a common plane with a carrier. Each toothpick is supported by webs integral with the carrier. A border surrounds the toothpicks and prevents pointed end portions thereof from becoming exposed during use. Spacer portions integral with the carrier enable toothpicks to be detached one at a time.

Abstract: A decorative pull bow has multiple loops formed from a pair of bow members having bow sections which are slit to form multiple loop-forming elements. The bow members and a drawstring are shorter in length than heretofore without sacrificing the number of loops in the formed bow. The drawstring has a short pull stroke. The loops are automatically angularly arranged about a central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A decorative bow and a carrying handle are simultaneously formed on a container for carrying the container and an object received therein in a decorative carrier.

Abstract: Chemical compounds are provided that are novel 5,8-dichloro-4-hydroxy-1-[(aminoalkyl)amino]-9,10-anthracenediones (I), as well as a method for their production, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds in dosage form. Compounds of the invention have pharmacological properties and are useful antimicrobial agents and antitumor agents.

Abstract: A manual data entry keyboard includes a plurality of key assemblies, each having an elongated arm and a touch contact at an outer end region of a respective arm. The arms are movable between a retracted position and an extended position, in the latter of which the touch contacts are spaced apart from each other by distances sufficient to enable a user to engage one touch contact at a time without simultaneously engaging an adjacent touch contact. A synchronizer ring simultaneously moves all of the arms between the retracted and extended positions.

Abstract: Potassium osmate, of the formula K.sub.2 Os O.sub.2 (OH).sub.4), used to make a column for the generation of Ir-191 m, which is used in first pass angiography to detect cardiac defects in patients.

Abstract: A flexible brush block is moved along a shape-retaining S-shaped handle whose curved end regions of opposite curvature are responsible for bending the flexible block and bristles that are supported thereon into either a generally concave or a convex configuration.

Abstract: An ascending and descending balloon action toy includes an envelope filled with a lighter-then-air gas, the envelope repeatedly ascending and alternately descending a tether.

Abstract: Extracellular enzymes are stabilized with a carboxyalkylated or phosphonoalkylated polymer having a molecular weight of at least 500 Daltons. Exemplified is the stabilization of the enzyme glucose isomerase used in a process to convert D-glucose to D-fructose. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the feedstream containing the substrate is contacted initially with the stabilizer and then with the enzyme. In this system the stabilizer and enzyme are maintained in separate reactors. This separation, advantageously, results in a higher half-life for the enzyme.

Abstract: Chemical compounds are provided that are novel 3,6-disubstituted-1,8-naphthalimides (I), as well as methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds in dosage form. Compounds of the invention have pharmacological properties and are useful antimicrobial agents and antitumor agents.

Abstract: A bow-forming ribbon assembly has a decorative flexible ribbon and a drawstring connected loosely to, and freely guided through pairs of apertures formed in, the ribbon lengthwise thereof. Between each pair of apertures, a bending zone is provided which extends at an angle of inclination, which angle is different and of opposite slope from that of the adjacent preceding inclination angle. During forming of the bow, the drawstring bends the ribbon across each bending zone, and forms bow loops distributed at various angles around the axis of the bow to form a pompon-like shape.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the chemical immobilization of biological material such as bacteria and enzymes containing an active hydrogen with a vinyl addition polymer of an isocyanatoalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The vinyl addition polymer is versatile in that it can be copolymerized with varying amounts and types of comonomers.

Abstract: A bow-forming ribbon has a decorative flexible ribbon member and a drawstring connected loosely to the ribbon at points along its length by relatively stiff retainer members. Each retainer member extends generally transversely across the ribbon member, and each is inclined with respect to the transverse direction at an angle. Each retainer member is inclined at an angle different from that of the preceding retainer member. On forming the ribbon into a bow by pulling the drawstring relative to the ribbon, the inclined retainer members tend to skew the adjacent loops or segments of the bow relative to one another, so that loops distributed at various angles around the axis of the bow are formed, thus avoiding the tendency for the successive loops to seat themselves on one another in a fan shape.

Abstract: Conductive polymer compositions which exhibit PTC behavior and comprise carbon black (or other particulate conductive filler) dispersed in a cross-linked polymer component comprising a cycloolefin polymer having a crystallinity of at least 5% and a melting point in the range 0.degree. to 80.degree. C. These compositions are particularly useful in the form of heaters which self regulate at a temperature in the range of 0.degree. to 70.degree. C. Such heaters are particularly useful for freeze protection and for heating human and other animal bodies.

Abstract: The title compounds are provided as well as a method for their production, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and a method of treatment using the compounds in dosage form. Compounds of the invention have pharmacological properties and are useful antileukemic agents.

Abstract: Chemical compounds are provided that are novel 3,6-dinitro-1,8-naphthalimides (I), as well as a method for their production, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds in dosage form. Compounds of the invention have pharmacological properties and are useful antimicrobial agents and antitumor agents.

Abstract: The automatic telephone dialing apparatus or repertory telephone dialer system includes a microprocessor, a keyboard and control and routing circuits coupled to and between the keyboard, the microprocessor, an incoming telephone line, and a telephone unit. The keyboard has a plurality of pushbutton keys, each one of which, when depressed, causes the automatic dialing of a predetermined number. Pairs of names and numbers are stored within an internal memory of the microprocessor such that, by depressing keys representing the first few letters of a name, one may find, and cause automatic dialing of, a number corresponding to that name. The system also includes a timer, a redial timer, an alphanumeric display, and means for listing out the stored names on the display, and for searching through a series of names that have the same first several numbers or where the names have the same first several letters.
