Abstract: A color scanner has a plurality of rows of photosensors. Spacers are formed between and around the rows, and a transparent cover sheet is sealed to the device, to form separate channels. An opening is provided in each otherwise sealed channel. The channels are filled with different colored media by evacuating the channels and letting the vacuum draw in different colored media such as liquids or gels.

Abstract: A clamping device for clamping on to an elongate member, e.g. for supporting a component on the member or for strengthening the member itself, comprises an annular shell for surrounding the member, the shell being formed by a plurality of generally part annular segments, each segment having generally axially extending edges provided with outwardly projecting ribs, juxtaposed ribs of adjacent segments being engaged by engagement means to hold the segments around the elongate member. The ribs are generally wedge shaped in the axial direction of the shell. The engagement members have grooves for receiving and engaging a pair of juxtaposed ribs, the grooves having an overall shape corresponding to shape of the pair of juxtaposed ribs and are slidable axially along the ribs to draw the ribs and segments together around the elongate member.

Abstract: A compound of the formula ##STR1## in which A is ##STR2## n is 1, 2 or 3, and R is phenyl optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl, phenyl, cyano, hydroxy, alkoxy, mercapto, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, amino, nitro, trifluoromethyl and/or naphthyl radicals; or a furan, thiophene, pyridine, benzofuran, dibenzothiophene or thianthrene radical,or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, for treating schistosomiasis.

Abstract: A swivel mounting device comprising a male member having an attachment portion, and a stem portion having a plurality of longitudinal first grooves therein and a second circumferentially extending groove therein; and a female member having a recess therein to receive the male stem portion and having a spring loaded pawl member for engaging one of the male member first grooves while permitting ratcheting rotation between the male and female members, and a plurality of spring loaded slide members for engaging the male member second groove to releasably retain the male member and female member together.

Abstract: Process for combating overwintering fungal diseases in trees by spraying the trees while in the dormant phase with an aqueous composition containing particular surface active agents, e.g. sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate.

Abstract: Pyrimidine derivatives are provided wherein the 6-position carries the group OSO.sub.2 NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 and the 2-position carries the group NR.sup.1 R.sup.2. R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are preferably hydrogen or lower alkyl but both are not hydrogen and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are preferably lower alkyl, although these groups may form a cyclic ring. The 3-position and 4-position are preferably substituted with lower alkyl, although lower alkynyl or alkenyl may be used. The derivatives are compounded into compositions for combatting fungal pests.

Abstract: A permanently installed speed bump or warning device for motorists is particulary adaptable for usage at school crossings and the like. The structure has an active use position above the road surface for deterring and warning drivers and is easily retractable to a nested position wherein a flat surface flush with the roadway is provided so as to allow the smooth passage of vehicles over the device. A convenience tool is provided for moving the device from its active to its inactive positions, and vice-versa.

Abstract: Compositions containing certain surface active agents are used to combat overwintering fungal diseases in plants. Particularly perferred surface active agents are condensates of alkyl phenols or straight or branched chain fatty alcohols with from 3 to 50 moles of ethylene oxide.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to new 2-aryloxymethylmorpholine derivatives which possess antidepressant properties, and to processes for the manufacture of the said morpholine derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to a method of preventing or relieving depression in warm-blooded animals including man. Typical of the morpholine derivatives disclosed is 2-(o-ethoxyphenoxymethyl)morpholine.
