Abstract: A digital rotary recording medium includes at least an audio component, an audio video component, and an application. The application component contains at least a browser or application program function. The information is deposited on the rotary digital recording media so that there are disparate audio and audio/video components and applications thereon. The rotary recording medium allows the user to access each element, by selection via an icon-based screen viewed function where one can interact with a pointing or touch device to chose the individual icon.

Abstract: The pipeline architecture minimizes delays incurred during execution of branch instructions. While a first instruction is executing, a second instruction is fetched and is ready for execution at the beginning of the next clock cycle. Control logic examines the fetched instruction during the first clock cycle to determine whether the instruction is a branch instruction which may indicate that the address of the next instruction is not the next sequential address. Flags which indicate the state of the system are examined to determine if the address of the instruction is the next sequential address or the address indicated in the branch instruction. As this is performed during the fetch clock cycle of the branch instruction, during execution of the branch instruction, the instruction at the address selected is fetched and is ready for execution without delay.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of blends of diethanolamine derivatives and biodiesel as an additive for improving lubricity in low sulfur fuels and to fuels and additive concentrates comprising said lubricity additives.

Abstract: Rubber articles e.g. rubber latex gloves have an adherent anti-tack coating comprising a mixture of a) a carboxylated synthetic rubber latex having a minimum film forming temperature (MFFT) of 10.degree. C. or above, with b) a latex polymer having an MFFT below 10.degree. C. and/or c) a water-soluble organic polymeric hydroxy material. Component b) tends to confer non-slip properties while component c) tends to confer lubricating properties.

Abstract: Self-setting products, having utility in sealing pipe-joints, are made by mixing a latex of natural or synthetic rubber and a sensitising agent therefor with a copolymerizable unsaturated organic monomer, and initiating polymerisation of the monomer for example by means of a redox catalyst syatem so as to gel the latex and cause the product to set.

Abstract: Sterilising composition comprising a chemical reactive compound with a perfumery alcohol or phenol such as bleaching, scouring, chemical cleansing and sanitary sterilising, e.g. mobile toilet, compositions are perfumed by the incorporation therein of one or more monomeric or oligomeric titanium or zirconium esters of a perfumery alcohol or phenol. Preferred esters are monomeric titanate esters of formula Ti(OR).sub.4 where R is the residue of a perfumery alcohol or phenol. Said oligomers are prepared by hydrolysis of a monomeric titanate or zirconate ester with from 50 to 90 moles water per 100 moles monomeric ester. Said sterilising compositions provide controlled release of perfume by hydrolysis of said esters during use and exhibit reduced degradation of said perfumery alcohol or phenol during storage.
