Abstract: A method for sealing coaxial contacts of a partition bushing connector to seal hermetically a connector (C) of the type which consists in inserting the contacts (300) constituting the connector to the inside of the recessed part (130) of said support (100) and in filling the free volume left between the contacts (300) and between said support (100) and said contacts (300) constituting the connector (C) with a resin (R). Said method is characterized in that it consists, prior to inserting said contacts (300) inside the recessed part (130) of the rigid support (100), in filling with a resin (R), the free volume left between the inner surface of the tube (330) and the rod (340) constituting each coaxial contact (300). The invention also concerns the adapted coaxial contact (300) for implementing the method and the connector (C) obtained by said method. The invention is applicable to fittings for hermetically sealing coaxial connectors.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel N-Acyl and N-Alkyl modified quaternary ammonium polysaccharide fibers, or both N-Acyl and N-Alkyl modified quaternary ammonium polysaccharide fibers and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified fibers. Further the invention relates to processes for using such modified polysaccharide fibers to lower cholesterol, to lower a mammal's absorption and metabolic use of dietary fat as calories, or as a dietary fiber supplement. The polysaccharides may be modified with quaternary ammonium side chains that are capable of sequestering bile salts while other portions of the polysaccharide absorbs substantial amounts of oils or fats while dissipating the modified polysaccharide and oil complex in aqueous digestive fluids and solids. The N-Acyl modified polysaccharide intermediates are also useful to lower cholesterol, lower the absorption and metabolism of dietary fat, and as a simple dietary fiber.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel N-acyl modified polysaccharides and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified polysaccharides. Further the invention relates to processes for using such compounds to inhibit lipases, to lower cholesterol, to lower the absorption of dietary fat, or as a dietary fiber supplement. In a preferred aspect of the invention the modified polysaccharides are capable of absorbing substantial amounts of oils or fats while dissipating in an aqueous solution. The invention also relates to a non-absorbable and essentially non-digestible polysaccharide fiber composition.

Abstract: A stand-alone calculator enables multi energy electron beam treatments with standard single beam electron beam radiotherapy equipment thereby providing improved dose profiles. By employing user defined depth-dose profiles, the calculator may work with a wide variety of existing standard electron beam radiotherapy systems.

Abstract: A device sensitive to a combustible gas having an exothermic oxidation reaction comprises a catalytic element in the form of a body of material a major proportion of which consists of an aluminosilicate zeolite having a ratio of silicon to aluminum of greater than two and a three-dimensional pore structure; a catalyst metal within the zeolite pores; and heating means for heating the catalyst to temperatures at which it will cause combustion of the gas.
