  • Patent number: 9428637
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition comprising: (A) 30-60% by weight of a soft polyolefin composition comprising 10-50% by weight of a copolymer (a) of propylene, which contains from 1-8% by weight of comonomer; 50-90% by weight of a copolymer (b) of ethylene and other alpha-olefin(s) and from 57-80% of ethylene; where the weight ratio of the content of copolymer component (b) to the fraction XS (soluble in xylene) at room temperature (about 25° C.), both (b and XS) referred to the total weight of (a)+(b), is 1.5 or less, and the intrinsic viscosity [?] of the XS fraction is 3 dl/g or more; and the total quantity of copolymerized ethylene is 30-65% by weight; (B) 5-30% of glass fiber filler; (C) 0.5%-3% by weight of a compatibilizer; and (D) 10-40% by weight of a polypropylene component selected from propylene homopolymers, propylene copolymers containing up to 5% by moles of ethylene and/or C4-C10 ?-olefin(s) and combinations of such homopolymers and copolymers, with a MFR from 0.

  • Publication number: 20050261482
    Abstract: Reagents that regulate human serine-threonine protein kinase and reagents which bind to human serine-threonine protein kinase gene products can play a role in preventing, ameliorating, or correcting dysfunctions or diseases including, but not limited to, cancer, diabetes, COPD, and peripheral and central nervous system disorders.

  • Patent number: 6905117
    Abstract: A clamping device for clamping two parts which more particularly serves for fixing a workpiece palette on a workpiece table. A bolster provided with a projecting shape element is secured to the first part and a cooperating part provided with a recess for receiving the shape element is secured to the second part. A sliding element which runs through the projecting shape element has at least one peripheral recess, into which at least one clamping element is engaged. The clamping element can be moved in a through hole in the shape element and fits in a non-clamping position, and on sliding the sliding element the clamping element is thrust outward into the clamping position. In the clamping position the clamping element interlocks in a recess in the cooperating part.

  • Patent number: 6851542
    Abstract: The invention concerns a work carrier changeover device for machine tools, with a work carrier transfer device for moving the work carrier (16) between a machining station (15) and a tooling station (21). The work carrier transfer device has a coupling element (25) rotatable around a vertical axis and two opposing coupling points (26, 27) for the coupling of work carriers (16). The coupling element (25) is pivotably mounted at free end section of a swivel arm (24) capable of swivelling around a vertical axis.
