Abstract: The mattress (1) is made of a block of flexible polyurethane foam (4) with a density of 40 Kg/m3 or of any other density, said block being firstly cut with a cut programmable automatic machine, by the main side and then turned at a 90° degree angle by its small side. A certain amount of springs (5) is thereby formed depending on each type of mattress (1). The amount of spirals (5.1) of every spring (5) depends on the position of each spring in the mattress (1) with the purpose of varying the flexibility thereof so that the mattress (1) can perfectly adapt to the contour to of every user or so that the flexibility can remain constant throughout the entire mattress. Multiple variations can be realized while the height of the mattress remains the same (less spirals having the same spiral thickness and more base and uncut, etc.; the width of a spiral can be changed, as well as the number of spirals, the inclination of the axis of the spirals, the total height of an area-budge or cavity, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to the synthesis of polyoxygenated nitrogen systems, comprising reactions between enamines of 1,3-dioxan-5-ones and nitroolefins. More specifically, the invention relates to the reaction between enamines having formula II which are derived from 1,3-dioxan-5-ones I and nitroolefins having formula III. In this way, novel polyoxygenated nitrogen systems are generated having formula IV and V, which, as they are or following simple transformations, constitute synthetic intermediates and/or analogues of different systems of proven biological/pharmacological interest, such as certain antibiotics, or tetrodotoxin, pancratistatin or the analogues thereof. The aforementioned reactions involve the use of enamines II in Michael-type addition reactions and in direct annealing processes with double acceptor systems at relative positions 1, 3. Said N acceptors include nitroolefins III, wherein R?CHO (alphanitroenals).

Abstract: An improved wire clip 10 to better keep hung garments 22 separated when suspending onto clotheslines 30. Also useful for hanging banners 22, the clip 10 offers a non-symmetrically centered axis 20 which is perpendicular to the line 30. A friction body 14 provides a pressure means by a fulcrum locus 14-A opposing a counter locus 14-B; a catch tail 16 is provided for suspending the garment 22. The weight of the suspended garment 22 leverages the body 14 at the non-symmetrical axis 20 which disposes the fulcrum 14-A, and opposes the counter 14-B to create increased pressure onto the line 30.
