Described is a method for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of "tropical" flavored foodstuffs comprising, adding to said foodstuff, a mixture of: (a) at least one C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 n-alkanoic acid; and (b) the ethyl ester of 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-pentanoic acid.

A combustion control system for an internal combustion engine. A control device with a vortex chamber has a tangential inlet connected to a gas supply at substantially atmospheric pressure, a second inlet, and an axial outlet connected directly to the gas inlet opening of the intake manifold. A condenser condenses water from the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust conduit. A gas inlet of a reactor device has a gas inlet connected directly to the exhaust manifold for drawing gas therefrom and...

The invention concerns the use, in the preparation of a medicine for treating cancer whereof the cells exhibit overexpression of a product of a gene of the myc-related family, of an anti-ferritin monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof, said antibody or said fragment identifying an epitope common to acidic and basic human ferritins.

The soldering alloy comprises at least : 65 to 85% lead in weight 12 to 30% cadmium in weight 1 to 6% antimony in weight 0.5 to 1% tin in weight. In a method for soldering metal parts, the parts are submitted to an organic flux on the portions thereof to be connected together, said portions are coated with the above mentioned soldering alloy, then they are heated to the liquidus temperature of the soldering alloy while being held together in contact.

The 1:1 triphenylphosphine adducts of tris(chloromethyl)phosphine oxide, tris(bromomethyl)phosphine oxide, and tris(iodomethyl)phosphine oxide were prepared. The chloro derivative was converted to triphenylphosphine bis(chloromethyl)phosphorylmethylene by reaction with aqueous ammonium hydroxide. These phosphorus compounds are useful as flame retardants for cellulosic materials.

A toy comprising a base and means on the base rotatably mounting a plurality of pinion wheels in interengaging relationship one with another so that different patterns of the pinion wheels may be created.

An optical disk apparatus has an optical head for recording information on or reproducing information from an optical disk. The optical disk has a number of spiral or concentric tracks and a number of sectors formed along the circumferential direction of the disk. The sectors are divided into a plurality of sector blocks along the circumferential direction of the disk. Each sector block includes a different number of sectors which are continuous along the circumferential direction and which have...

The skeleton watch of this invention includes a caseband (1) bearing a frame (6) arranged between an upper crystal and a back cover (26), a leg (8) contiguous to the frame, a motor (10, 11, 12) secured to the frame and including a rotor directly driving a minutes wheel (15) bearing a minutes marker (17). An hours hand (18) is driven by the minutes wheel through motion work including a train of planetary gears (23, 24). Zones (27 to 32) and conductors (33 to 37) are metallized on the internal fac...

A method for a supervising and/or controlling of discharged volume or weight of plastic mass flow for e.g. extrusion, injection moulding or blow moulding in a system including a plastification section, which feeds the plastic melt to a volumetric discharge device. This discharge device discharges in turn the molten material continuously or in portions to a forming tool. The pressure and temperature of the plastic melt is determined in connection with the discharge device and the density of the p...
