A method of coating an electrode with an activating oxide comprising admixing an oxide particulate of titanium and ruthenium with a solution of titanium and ruthenium halides in an alcohol with a boiling temperature less than that of water, applying a layer of the mixture to a surface of a valve metal substrate, removing the liquid portion from the layer and then oxidizing the remaining portion of the layer.

The present invention provides a method and equipment for producing a rail, the method and equipment being capable of lowering a bend at an end of a rail effectively and the truncation amount thereof. The present invention is a method for producing a rail, characterized by: cooling a hot-rolled mother rail to an ordinary temperature substantially while the length thereof after the hot rolling is maintained; and thereafter cutting the mother rail simultaneously in a predetermined length with at l...

An apparatus is provided for production of an electrosuspension of particles including spaced electrodes receiving an electrical potential and disposed within an insulating container, at least one of the electrodes rotatable by a motor. The rotatable electrode preferably includes a plurality of spaced electrodes circumferentially disposed in a drum configuration. Field concentrating conductors may be coupled to the rotatable electrode to generate ions and irradiate the surface of the particulate...

Theaflavin is produced by separating theaflavin from a slurry fermentation product of green leaf tea that has been treated with tannase prior to slurry fermentation. Methods for making theaflavin-rich extracts and cold water soluble tea powders and products are provided.

In a fermentation procedure for the production of nucleosides i.e. inosine and/or guanosine using an adenine-requiring microorganism, the fermentation is carried out by allowing a source of adenine to be present in the medium in an excess amount over the amount of adenine that would be conductive to a maximum yield of inosine and/or guanosine in aerobic culture using ordinary air, and cultivating the microorganism while an oxygen-rich gas is bubbled into the medium. Thus, inosine and/or guanosin...

The invention relates to a new strain of Fusarium which is characterized by particular morphological, genetic and biochemical data. It is used for the production of antibiotics, especially of fusafungine.

A method and apparatus for the production of prostheses used in orthopaedic and trauma surgery for pinning broken bones wherein the method includes the steps of predetermining the shape of the article required, selecting a sheet material blank from which the article is formed, processing the blank by removing material therefrom to leave an article of the predetermined shape or a processed blank from which an article of the predetermined shape is made by bending the blank, and removing the materi...
