An improvement in a container for tubular-like articles and the method of using the improved container, the improvement comprising embodying a plurality of holes in the front and back of the basic container for supplying jets of aeriform fluid to the interior of the container to disturb or agitate, and lubricate the articles contained therein, and a hole opposite a lowermost baffle in the container for supplying a jet of aeriform fluid therethrough to in effect provide a gating means for stoppin...

In a thermostat which comprises a first housing portion accommodating a circuit breaker and a second housing portion accommodating a snap action temperature sensor coupled to the circuit breaker by an actuating member, the two housing portions have mutually contacting camming faces shaped and arranged in such a manner that a coaxial rotation of the two housing portions with respect to one another varies the axial distance between the two housing portions and thus the distance between the snap ac...

An antibiotic substance designated as jolipeptin, is produced by cultivating a strain of Bacillus polymyxa subsp. colistinus KOYAMA, and isolating and recovering the jolipeptin from the cultured broth.

A dry cell containing a separator which comprises a very fine paper having a thickness of at least about 10 microns and a density of about 0.65 to 0.85 g./cm.sup.3, said paper being coated with a paste material. Alternatively, the separator can comprise two layers of paper, a layer of said very fine paper and a layer of less fine paper, the latter having a density of about 0.45 to 0.55 g./cm.sup.3 and provided with a coating of paste material. In the dry cell, the separator is mounted parallel t...

A process for producing indamine by condensing 2,6-diamino pyridine on a paraphenylene diamine or a benzoquinone diimine or a paranitroso N,N-dialkyl aniline. The resulting indamine can be incorporated into a dye composition for keratinic fibers, especially human hair.

A container made from corrugated paperboard or the like having sections attached to the end panels adapted to be folded inwardly to form a cover for the container and locking flaps attached to the ends of the covering sections which, when the container is erected, lie in abutting relationship and form a self-locking container requiring no tape, staples, or glue.

A tool, providing an extensible or a non extensible straight edge, that can be rapidly attached and firmly held to an object to be sawed, by either a hand saw or a power saw.

Cis and trans isomers of 1,2-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes, novel processes for the preparation thereof, and novel intermediates are disclosed herein. The novel 1,2-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes have utility as antifertility, estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, antispermatogenic, cholesterol lowering and lipid normalizing agents.

A polymerized hydrogel comprising a major portion of a) a homopolymer of a glycol monomethacrylate of the formula ##EQU1## wherein n = 2-3 and m = 1-3 cross linked with a small amount of b) a mono- or dialkylene glycol dimethacrylate and copolymerized therewith as a filler therefor up to 35% by weight of component a) cross linked with at least 2% more of component b) then employed for cross-linking component a).

Water-insoluble therapeutic agents having a tertiary nitrogen capable of being protonated are stabilized and solubilized via the formation of water-soluble lipophilic liquid fatty acid salts.
