Abstract: The present invention is directed to a new fluoro-pyridinone hydroxamic acid phosphates and boronates of Formulae I, II and III wherein Q is selected from the group consisting of —P(O)(OH)2, —P(O)(OH)(O?M+), —P(O)(O?M+)2 and —P(O)(O?)2M2+; M+ at each occurrence is a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent cation; and M2+ is a pharmaceutically acceptable divalent cation and their use as LpxC inhibitors and, more specifically, their use to treat bacterial infections.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.

In a second aspect, a polymer binder solution includes a solvent selected from the group consisting of dimethyl acetamide, N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl formamide and mixtures thereof and an interpolymer including polymer units derived from about 64 to about 75 mole percent vinyl fluoride and from about 25 to about 36 mole percent of at least two highly fluorinated monomers.

Abstract: Articles comprising multilayer coextruded films having polyester and polyamide layers adhered with a copolymer of polyester and a sulfonic acid or its derivative, having high oxygen barrier properties and temperature resistance that are capable of being heated to 425° F. in a conventional oven are disclosed. The articles are packages, such as bags, pouches, and casings that are particularly useful for packaging and cooking foodstuffs such as meat, poultry, seafood and the like.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a melt-processible interpolymer consists essentially of units derived from vinyl fluoride and at least two highly fluorinated monomers, at least one of the highly fluorinated monomers introducing into the polymer a side chain of at least one carbon atom. The interpolymer has a melt flow rate in a range of from about 2 to about 250 grams per 10 minutes at a temperature of 280° C. In a second aspect, an emulsion polymerization process for preparing a melt-processible interpolymer includes polymerizing vinyl fluoride and at least two highly fluorinated monomers in water with a water-soluble free-radical initiator at a temperature in the range of from about 60 to about 100° C. and a pressure in the range of from about 1 to about 12 MPa.
