Abstract: A spinous process implant, and a method therefor can be positioned with its longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the median sagittal plane of the patient, between an upper and an adjacent lower spinous process. The implant comprises, as spacers, upper support means, and lower support means, which, in each case, are applied with a recess saddle against the upper or lower spinous process. The support means can be spread apart in each case by means of clamping means, which are arranged between the support means in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The invention concerns an intervertebral disc prosthesis (10) with a first prosthesis plate (20) and a second prosthesis plate (30), wherein the first prosthesis plate (20) has on its side (20b) facing the second prosthesis plate (30) a concave recess (22) in which engages a convex projection (32) arranged on the side (30b) of the second prosthesis plate (30) facing the first prosthesis plate (10), wherein the convex projection (32) and/or the concave recess has at least one elastic element (35).

Abstract: A ribbon cassette for typewriters is provided with an end-of-ribbon signaling device which takes the form of a switch comprising a contact web on a ribbon tensioning lever associated with the supply spool in the ribbon cassette and two contact pins provided in the machine. The contact web is adapted to bridge the contact pins signaling end of ribbon when the ribbon supply is used up.

Abstract: A printer having a carriage guided for movement along a platen and supporting a wire matrix printing element includes means for changing the distance between the printing element and the platen an amount to facilitate paper feeding and an additional amount for paper insertion.The means of changing the distance between printing element and platen includes an electric motor driven in accordance with a stored program which determines motor acceleration characteristics.

Abstract: Glycidyl methacrylate is produced by transesterifying methyl methacrylate with glycidol in the presence of a polymerization inhibitor and a transesterification catalyst in which the catalyst is a salt of formula MeX where Me is an alkali metal ion and X is a cyanide, cyanate or thiocyanate ion.

Abstract: An improved process for the trans-esterification of esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid in the presence of a trans-esterification catalyst and a polymerization inhibitor includes the use of about 0.05 to about 10% by weight of an alkali metal cyanide as the catalyst.

Abstract: An iodophor solution useful for disinfectant purposes comprising 0.5 to 4% by weight of iodine, 1.6 to 15% by weight of a water soluble glycide polymer, optionally 0 to 30% by weight of phosphoric acid, and water in an amount sufficient so that the solution comprises 100 weight percent.
