Abstract: Imidazoquinoline and tetrahydroimidazoquinoline compounds that contain ether and sulfonamide or sulfamide functionality at the 1-position are useful as immune response modifiers. The compounds and compositions of the invention can induce the biosynthesis of various cytokines and are useful in the treatment of a variety of conditions including viral diseases and neoplastic diseases.

Abstract: A method is provided for preparation of chlorofluoroethers ClCF2CFClOR8f and Cl2CFCFClOR8f by direct fluorination of Cl2CHCH2OR8 and Cl3CCH2OR8, respectively, wherein R8 is a C1-C20 alkyl-or acyl-containing group optionally up to 5 ether oxygen atoms and optionally substituted by functional groups and R81, is the corresponding perfluoroalkyl or perfluoracyl-containing group.

Abstract: Acrylates having a high degree of halogenation, as well as polymers that include one or more mer units derived from such acrylates provide materials having tailorable optical and physical properties. The polymers find utility particularly in optical devices including optical waveguides and interconnecting devices.

Abstract: Phenothiazines of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is H or --COOR, where R is selected from the group consisting of branched or unbranched alkyl groups containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and where X is selected from H, branched or unbranched alkyl groups containing from 1 to 4 carbons, and halogen, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Particularly preferred phenothiazines are those wherein X is hydrogen, chloro, bromo or methyl, R.sub.1 is COOR, and R is methyl, ethyl or t-butyl.

Abstract: An oxazolyl enaminone is provided having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of a branched or unbranched alkyl groups containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of a branched or unbranched alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a chloro group, a trifluoromethyl group and a trifluoromethoxy group. Also provided are pharmaceutically accepatable salts and isomers of the above, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.

Abstract: Vandalism and robbery of parking meters have become big problems. The unauthorized entry into the coin box area or striking of the housing as well as bending the support pipe makes it desirable to apprehend the robbers and/or vandals. Repair of the parking meter or support may be required due to such vandalism. A radio transmitter is adapted to send simultaneously two signals to a receiver which is constantly "on". The received signal indicates unauthorized entry or vandalism to a parking meter and to the particular parking meter from which the signal is sent. Switches are actuated at an opening of the timer compartment and/or coin box area. A switch is also actuated when the supporting post is bent. A timer is placed in this circuit so that only after a determined time interval is a signal sent of the bending of a post. On new installations a tensioned wire is placed in the pipe and is actuated when the pipe is cut or severely bent.
