A melt/cast explosive composition comprising about 20 to 100 wt. % of a binary complex of ammonium nitrate (AN) and methyl nitroguanidine (MeNQ) in a molar ratio of about 0.55:1 to 1.35:1. This binary complex may be used alone or it may be formulated with up to about 80 wt. % compatible fuels and/or oxidizers to tailor the formulation for specific military or commercial applications.

The present invention relates to copper complexes exhibiting superoxide dismutase-like activity in mammalian cells. The copper complexes, which act as superoxide radical (O.sub.2.sup.-) scavengers, are used in treating cancer by replacing the lost superoxide dismutase activity which characterizes tumor systems. The low molecular weight and lipid solubility of the copper complexes facilitate penetration of cell membranes. Depending upon the specific type of copper complex used, treatment may resu...

An improved complex bandpass digital filter is disclosed. According to the invention, a complex bandpass digital filter having symmetric complex coefficients is implemented using a ROM look-up table. In operation, an input bit stream is latched at a desired decimation rate and the resulting latched bits are then used to address a ROM according to the following two-cycle process: First, the bits are applied in nomal order to the ROM to obtain the real (in phase) portion of the filter output. Seco...

An optical filter in the form of a synthetic hologram of an aggregation of point sources recorded on a photographic plate using a standard two-beam holographic system. The required filter function of the optical filter is established and generalized into a periodic function which is then synthesized by a finite number of harmonics in a spatial frequency domain. Where the filter function has a degree of symmetry, the synthesis process is comparatively simple with only the first several harmonics ...

A ruthenium-phosphine complex is disclosed, which is represented by formula (I): wherein R-BINAP represents a tertiary phosphine represented by formula (II): ##STR1## wherein R represents hydrogen atom or methyl group; M represents Zn, Al, Ti, or Sn; X represents N(C.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.3 or CH.sub.3 CO.sub.2 ; in the case that X represents N(C.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.3, l is 2 and m is 1, and when M represents Zn, then k is 4, when M represents Al, then k is 5, and when M represents Ti or Sn, then k ...

1:1 and 1:2 metal complex reactive dyestuffs based on at least one metallizable dyestuff of the formula ##STR1## wherein D=the radical of a metallizable diazo component with an OH group or COOH group in the o-position relative to the azo bridge, K=the radical of a coupling component which couples in the o-position relative to a phenolic or enolic OH group, W= ##STR2## R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 =H or a substituent Y=a group which can be split off, in particular halogen and Z=a divalent organic radic...

Iron complexes of azo dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meaning indicated in the description, and their use for dyeing or printing various fibre materials, for example wool, silk and synthetic materials such as Perlon, but especially leather. The dyeings obtained are distinguished by good fastness properties.

Method for the estimation of immune complex and analysis of a constituent thereof. Method comprises a latex particle agglutination test in which a reagent comprising low affinity latex particles is contacted with a sample containing immune complex. The low affinity coated latex particles are latex particles coated with IgG antibodies to the complex constituent and may be prepared by contacting latex particles with the IgG antibodies, the latter optionally being substituted with a coupling agent....

A complex switch assembly specially for use in a motor vehicle for controlling positions of rear viewing mirrors provided on left and right-hand sides of the motor vehicle includes an operating lever constituted by a sphere, a bar portion extending radially outwardly from the sphere and a leg portion extending radially outwardly from the sphere in a direction opposite to the bar portion. The sphere is rotatably supported in a casing so that the operating lever can be rotated between first and se...
