Abstract: The invention provides a novel anti-tumor agent highly effective for inhibiting growth of several tumor or cancer cells with low toxicity. The active ingredient contained in the anti-tumor agent is an .omega.-triorganosilyl-substituted linear alkanoic acid anilide which is a hitherto unknown novel compound prepared by the reaction of corresponding acid chloride and aniline.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel class of organosilicon compounds and a method for the preparation thereof as well as an anti-tumor agent containing the compound having very remarkable anti-tumor activity but with very low toxicity. The inventive compound is a (trihydrocarbylsilylmethyloxyimino)alkane, which is a silicon-containing oxime compound hitherto not described in any prior art literatures, represented by the general formula R.sup.1.sub.3 Si--CH.sub.2 --O--N.dbd.Y, R.sup.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and Y is a divalent hydrocarbon group denoted by .dbd.CR.sup.2 R.sup.3 or .dbd.CR.sup.4, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, which may be identical or different, having the same meaning as R.sup.1 defined above and R.sup.4 being an alkylene group to form a ring structure jointly with the carbon atom directly bonded to the nitrogen atom.

Abstract: Germanium-containing organic polymers are obtained by polymerizing 3-trichlorogermylpropionic acid obtained by reacting halogermanium-phosphoric acid complexes with acrylic acid. The polymers are markedly effective in mental diseases, disturbances in heart and vascular systems and are also effective against various cancers.

Abstract: The present invention presents a novel class of compounds bis(triorganosilylalkyl) phosphites, e.g. bis(trimethylsilylmethyl) phosphite. The compound is readily prepared by the reaction of a corresponding triorganosilyl alkanol with phosphorus trichloride or by the partial hydrolysis of a corresponding tris(triorganosilylalkyl) phosphite with an equimolar amount of water followed by distillation of the reaction mixture.The compound has a remarkable anti-transplanted tumor effectiveness as established by the test with mice as the test animals for preventing the growth of Ehrlich's cancer cells and Sarcoma 180 cells. The compound has very low toxicity when orally administrated.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved solid state switching circuit for switching an A.C. load current fed from an A.C. power supply in response to values of input signal. The improvement is that, a pair of thyristors are provided in the circuit, for each to share the switching of positive and negative parts, respectively, of the load current to pass when the power supply voltage is near or at zero.Thus each thyristor switches very exactly in response to the values of input signal and power supply voltage, without accidental turning-ons after removal of the input signal, which have been frequently observed.

Abstract: Novel pharmacologically important organic germanium compounds (3-hydroxygermyl propionic acid salts) represented by the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN Met is a monovalent cation selected from the group consisting of Na, K, NH.sub.4, and NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.3).sub.2, or divalent cation selected from the group consisting of Ca and Mg, and wherein x is 1 when Met is a monovalent cation and x is 2 when Met is a divalent cation.These compounds possess valuable therapeutic properties for treating such physiological abnormalities as psychiatric and neurological disorders, metabolic disorder, cardivascular disorder, disorder of digestive organs, skin disease, allergic disease, Kidney dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, obstetric and pediatric diseases, etc., and the process for preparing thereof.

Abstract: A stroke length adjusting device which can be applied to a mechanism for converting a rotary motion into a reciprocating motion is disclosed. The device comprises two oil pressure chambers communicated through a bore with each other and a crank arranged between these two oil pressure chambers. A pressure balance between the two oil pressure chambers permits the crank to displace in its axial direction so as to adjust a stroke length of the reciprocating motion.
