Redispersible dry composition of polymer finish comprising: a powdery organic binder included a polymer obtained by spray-drying or lyophilisation of a dispersion containing said polymer and a protective colloid; a deprotection agent; a specific adsorbent filler; and/or a load; and/or a water retentive agent; and/or a mineral rheological agent; and/or a defoamer; and/or a biocide; and/or a pigment. The invention also refers to the methods of preparation of these dry compositions and wet formulations, the application of these latter onto the surface of buildings or civil engineering works, the so obtained coatings as well as the so coated elements.

Abstract: A device for administration of an aerosol includes a generator of particles of size between 10 nm and 200 um, a mouthpiece or mouth mask for oral administration of the aerosol during the nasal exhalation phase or during the respiratory pause phase preceding nasal exhalation, and a source of gas or pressure for conveying the particles. The mouthpiece is airtight, extends beyond the teeth of the patient by a maximum length of 4 cm, and administers the aerosol for the nasal cavities, the rhinopharynx or the paranasal sinuses during aerosol administration phases, such that the is successively applied to the mouth, the rhinopharynx and then the nasal fossae and the sinuses, and then the aerosol escapes via one or both of the patient's nostril. The device does not allow exhalation via the mouth during aerosol administration phases, and the aerosol particles not being directed to the lungs.

Abstract: A clutch device is described comprising a first clutch element, a second clutch element that is disposed in a coaxial manner in relation to the first clutch element, a first engagement means, a second engagement provided for engaging with the first engagement in a positively interlocking manner for transmitting a torque between the first clutch element and the second clutch element, and a spring biasing the first engagement element and the second engagement element in a circumferential direction against each other. The spring comprises a leg spring with a ring part and two legs, wherein the ring part is disposed in a substantially coaxial relation to the first and second clutch parts and the legs extend in a radially outward direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel modified polyaminoamides which are useful as dispersing agents for particulate inorganic solids, especially for inorganic pigments such as clay minerals. The new polyamides are also useful as graying inhibiting additives and detergency boosting additives in washing composition for laundry.

Abstract: An aerosol transfer device for medical aerosol generators comprises an elongate shaped hollow member, located in a vertical plane constituting an aerosol storage area. The member has a first opening allowing entry of outside air. The first opening is located on an upper or lower horizontal surface of the member to ensure vertical air entry. A second opening opposite said first opening allows escape of aerosol, and a third opening serves for spraying aerosol into the storage area in the vertical plane and in axial alignment with the air inlet opening. The member has a minimum height of 6 cm and allows dispersion of the sprayed aerosol without recycling aerosol deposited on the walls. The member is located between an aerosol generator source and a patient interface and does not include any valve on the aerosol path from the storage area to the patient.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a radiation-curable coating material which forms a cured coating film having high hardness and low curing shrinkage, a radiation-curable resin composition for obtaining the radiation-curable coating material, and a method for forming a protective layer using the radiation-curable coating material.

Abstract: An recycled composite material is disclosed, which is prepared by using as a raw material a waste composite material which comprises a matrix component and carbon fibrous structures added to the matrix, and adding an additional matrix component which is homogeneous and/or heterogeneous with the matrix of the spent composite material, and then kneading them together; wherein the carbon fibrous structure comprises a three dimensional network of carbon fibers, each carbon fiber having an outside diameter of 15-100 nm, and a granular part, at which the fibers are bound in a state that the carbon fibers extend outwardly therefrom, and wherein the granular part is produced in a growth process of the carbon fibers. The recycled composite material performs much the same with the original composite material, and is produced briefly at a low cost.

Abstract: An aerosol transfer device for medical aerosol generators comprises an additional shaped element located in a vertical plane constituting an aerosol storage area. The additional element being designed with a first opening allowing movement of air from outside the storage area into the latter and being located on an upper or lower horizontal surface of the element in order to ensure vertical entry of air into the element, a second opening opposite said first opening allowing the escape of aerosol and a third opening for spraying aerosol into the storage area in the vertical plane of the storage area and in axial alignment with the first opening. The additional element has a minimum height of 6 cm and allows dispersion of the sprayed aerosol throughout the storage area without recycling the aerosol deposited on the walls of the storage area. The storage area is located between the aerosol generator source and the patient interface and allows, by means of a transport area, aerosol transport to the patient.
