Abstract: The invention relates to nylon compositions having improved surface aesthetics while maintaining its physical properties and to a method for preparing molded articles of from such nylon compositions. The nylon composition is composed of a substantially uniform blend of nylon 6,6,6 copolymer of from about 65 to about 75 parts by weight of caprolactam and from about 25 to about 35 parts by weight of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid in a 1:1 ratio; together with a second polyamide which is nylon 6 homopolymer. The first polyamide is present in the overall composition in an amount of from about 7 to about 20 weight percent and said second polyamide is present in the overall composition in an amount of from about 80 to about 83 weight percent. The nylon compositions are useful to create injection molded articles having a good surface appearance and good performance at a low cost.

Abstract: A vehicle storage building having upstanding side walls and a single door opening providing access to the interior of the building. The building having upwardly facing and generally planar interior vehicle support surface on which the vehicle may be stored and a turntable adjacent the door having at least one vehicle stall thereon flush with the airplane support surface. The building has both the one stall on the turntable and a plurality of storage positions within the building remote from the turntable from which stored vehicles may be taken from or delivered to the storage positions by way of the turntable through the door without repositioning any of the other vehicles within the building.

Abstract: This application discloses novel tetronic acids for the treatment of AIDS and other diseases caused by retroviruses.

Abstract: This invention comprises novel substituted tetronic acid type compounds, 2, 4(3H, 5H)-furandiones, that are useful for the inhibition of the HIV protease enzyme. The compounds may be useful for the treatment of a person with AIDS or AIDS related diseases. The compounds may be used in the attempt to retard the further replication of any retrovirus containing the aspartyl protease enzyme. Compounds are represented by the formula below.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provide a monofilament, based on the total weight of the monofilament composition, (a) from about 70 weight % to about 30 weight % of a polyphenylene ether, (b) from about 30 weight % to about 70 weight % of a polyamide, (c) from about 0.1 weight % to about 2.0 weight % of a compatibilizer compound for (a) and (b), and (d) from about 1 weight % to about 35 weight % of a functionalized olefinic elastomer, and industrial conveyer belts fabricated therefrom.
