  • Publication number: 20020119947
    Abstract: Novel compositions cobalamin and related corrinoids, and uses thereof, are disclosed. The novel compositions include a corrin, a first amino acid having a side chain which includes a basic or positively charged moiety; and a second amino acid with an uncharged side chain which includes at least one heteroatom. The compositions are useful for, inter alia, treatment of cobalamin deficiency.

  • Patent number: 4321426
    Abstract: A heat shrunken polymeric material is wrapped around a plurality of adhesive coated, insulated wire strands juxtaposed in a transposed configuration to compact the metal strands into intersurface contacting relation, and thus promote improved bonding together of the metal strands for enhanced short circuit withstand.

  • Patent number: 4276102
    Abstract: A heat shrinkable polymeric material is wrapped around a plurality of adhesive coated wire strands placed together in a transposed configuration prior to heating the strands to cause the adhesive to melt and cure. The shrink initiation temperature of the polymeric material is selected to exceed the temperature at which the adhesive melts while preceeding the temperature at which the latent catalyst initiates the cure cycle. The shrinking of the polymeric wrapping causes the transposed cable strands to become compacted and substantially increases the surface area of the strands in contact with the adhesive material.
