A compound vessel is provided which has many decorative and functional applications. The compound vessel is formed of a transparent material and has a spheroidal main body. The main body is comprised of spheroidal inner and outer walls with an annular space defined therebetween. The annular space constitutes an outer vessel of the compound vessel and the space contained by the inner wall constitutes an inner vessel of the compound vessel. The outer and inner walls join at one extremity of the sp...

A novel cyanotriphenodioxazine compound is disclosed which is represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein X represents cyano or halogen, R.sup.1 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylene and R.sup.2 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and is a dyestuff suitable for dyeing synthetic fibers or cellulose acetate fibers in brilliant red shade with good fastness to light and t...

A forging compound particularly adapted for hot die dwell forging of titanium and its alloys comprises boundary layer particles (boron nitride or graphite) and a major quantity (more than 60% by weight) of vitreous components. The vitreous components comprise diboron trioxide and silica frit containing a metal oxide wetting agent. In a preferred form, the forging lubricant comprises about 14 to 25% by weight boron nitride particles, balance, vitreous components. The latter comprise about 60% to ...

The present invention relates to a new compound designated as AM-2282, having antibiotic activity and pharmacological activity, and a process of preparing same.

An agricultural and horticultural microbicidal composition which comprises as an active ingredient a compound represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a methyl or ethyl group, halogen atom or methoxy group and R.sub.2 is a methyl or ethyl group, and an inert carrier, which shows high microbicidal activities against phyto-pathogenic microorganisms without any material toxicity to mammals, fishes and crops.

A compound bow having a center handle portion, upper and lower limbs having inner ends connected to the handle portion, and upper and lower draw pulleys mounted on the free outer ends of the upper and lower limbs. Each of the draw pulleys has a peripheral portion, a central portion, and first and second spaced grooves in the peripheral portion. A passage in each draw pulley leads through its central portion and connects the first and second grooves. Each pulley has an inner surface portion and a...

A novel anthracycline antibiotic designated rudolphomycin is produced by fermentation of Actinosporangium sp. ATCC 31127 and isolation of the new antibiotic free of substances co-produced therewith. Rudolphomycin and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit antimicrobial activity and inhibit the growth of mammalian tumors.

A compound bow structure with a bow grip and arrow sight window offset to one side of the bow center with an overcenter pulley at the flexing ends guiding the nocking stretch centrally of the grip and additional tension cables centrally of the flexing limbs wherein the full draw tension is central of the limbs to avoid twisting of the limbs in draw.

A pair of limbs extending from opposite end portions of a handle member. Each limb has a free end portion upon which is rotatably and eccentrically mounted a pulley. A continuous cable is reeved about the pulleys and includes an arrow string portion extending between the limbs for receiving the arrow. The cable portions extend from the pulleys and through a cavity in the handle member where they are supported by idler pulleys. The pulleys are eccentrically mounted by devices that permit adjustme...

A multi-purpose tool adapted particularly for use with automotive vehicles and having a handle and an ice breaker arranged in such relation to each other and to a brush, a shoe scraper, a snow scraper and a squeegee as to be most convenient for use. When the tool is held manually by the handle with the ice breaker on the ground, the shoe scraper is positioned for convenient use, and the brush, squeegee, and snow scraper are held above and clear of the ground so that they are kept clean.
