Abstract: An aerodynamic device includes a main aerodynamic body having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a flight control surface coupled to the main aerodynamic body near the trailing edge of the main aerodynamic body, and a rotating body coupled to the flight control surface. The rotating body is rotatable relative to the flight control surface between a stowed position and a deployed position to define a gap. The rotating body is rotated toward the main aerodynamic body while in the stowed position to close the gap. The rotating body is rotated away from the main aerodynamic body while in the deployed position to widen the gap. The gap adjusts an airflow flowing between the main aerodynamic body and the flight control surface.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds of the formula: wherein the ring A is an optionally substituted benzene ring; R1 is an optionally substituted non-aromatic heterocyclic group; R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group; n is an integer of 0-3; or salts thereof, which are useful as medicines having an osteogenesis promoting effect and chondrogensis promoting effect. The present invention relates to an amine compound having an excellent effect of inhibiting production and/or secretion of amyloid-b protein, a production and use thereof. Especially, it is effective for preventing and/or treating, for example, neurodegenerative diseases, amyloid angiopathy, neurological disorders caused by cerebrovascular disorders, and so forth.

Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of cyanamide or a cyanamide-containing gas mixture by passing urea and/or urea decomposition products over a catalyst at a temperature in the range of between about 200.degree. C. and 600.degree. C. A porous catalyst is utilized which has an intracrystalline pore diameter of at most 8 A, whereby a high conversion to cyanamide is obtained and the formation of melamine by-products is substantially reduced.

Abstract: Melamine is prepared from cyanamide and/or dicyandiamide by contacting the cyanamide and/or dicyandiamide at approximately atmospheric pressure in an organic solvent at 100.degree. to 250.degree. C with at least one solvent selected from the group having the formulas ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are alkyl which may be joined together to form an alkylene ring,In the simultaneous presence of alkali hydroxide or alkaline earth hydroxide.
