Abstract: A electromagnetic wave generating composite capable of attaining modification of water and activation of a living thing, being simply inexpensively manufactured irrespective of any form thereof, and being effectively directed to a variety of fields such as medical applications, agricultural applications and the like. The composite is constituted by a combination of a semiconductor and a magnet.

Abstract: Optically active diols and hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters are produced by deriving 1L-1,2:5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-chiro-inositol from 1L-chiro-inositol as an asymmetric source, followed by introduction of a selected class of sterically hindering and asymmetrically reactive groups into the first-mentioned compound and by subsequent reduction of the resulting compound. Seven specific inositols are also derivable from synthesis of those ultimate compounds.

Abstract: Inositol compounds grouped into an aminocyclitol family are disclosed which have stereospecific structure and optical activity and find application to the manufacture of medicinal products and agricultural chemicals. The compound is produced with use of optically active L-quebrachitol as a starting material and by way of specific steps of reaction.

Abstract: A method of synthesizing D-myoinositol-1-phosphate from 1,2-(R.sup.1)-3-R.sup.2 -myoinositol compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a bridging type protective group bonded to two oxygen atoms at the 1- and 2-position, and R.sup.2 is a protective group coupled to the oxygen atom at the 3-position. D-Myoinositol-1-phosphate is useful as an intermediate for the production of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate.

Abstract: A cured puncture sealant for a tire which comprises (1) either a copolymer of at least one acrylate selected from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and n-butyl acrylate, and a glycidyl monomer, or a copolymer of at least one of the above acrylates, a glycidyl monomer, and at least one other acrylic monomer, and (2) a curing agent for epoxy resin. The sealant may optionally further include a polymer whose solubility parameter to the above copolymer is in the range of .+-.0.5. The sealant is most effective as a puncture sealant for a tubeless tire.

Abstract: An elastomer obtained by reacting at a specific ratio an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer formed by reacting at a specific ratio of polymer containing a diene polymer having a terminal hydroxyl group with a diisocyanate compound, with a curing agent having a terminal hydroxyl or amine group, is especially excellent as a tire filling material. A tire prepared by filling this elastomer is valuable as an elastic tire of a public vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed are a puncture sealant composition in emulsion for a tubeless pneumatic tire comprising a butyl rubber emulsion, a saturated hydrocarbon polymer emulsion, a crosslinking agent for the rubber and a crosslinking activator. A composition further containing a diene type unsaturated polymer emulsion and/or a natural rubber latex is also disclosed. These compositions are suitable for use in the production of a self-sealing vehicle tire.
