A two-substance spray nozzle includes a mixing chamber in which a target body is provided, against which the liquid stream strikes. The target body is configured as a spreader aligned coaxial with the liquid stream and expanding in the direction of flow up to a spill-over rim, which can be especially conical. The feed passages for the gaseous medium discharge in the direction of flow before the spill-over rim, so that the compressed air delivered can uniformly divide the liquid stream dispersed ...

The invention relates to a method for conveying a solid (2) in a conveying medium (15), said solid (2) being delivered to a container (5) with outlet (7). The solid (2) is in this case dispersed in the transport liquid (15) without the aid of any mechanically driven parts and is introduced into the conduit (4).

A container filling apparatus includes at least one source container that contains a substance and a reading mechanism capable of reading data from a data indicator on a receiving container wherein the data indicator identifies data about the receiving container. The apparatus also includes a controller that is connected to the reading mechanism. The controller is programmed to determine when a dispensing condition is satisfied. The apparatus also has a dispenser for discharging the substance in...

A substance delivery apparatus for use with a system for supplying breathable gas to a human or animal includes a sensor to measure the pressure of the supplied breathable gas and to detect inhalation by the human or animal; and a reservoir, a conduit, a pump, and a diaphragm to deliver the substance to the human or animal during inhalation at a pressure higher than the supplied pressure of the breathable gas.

The present invention provides an apparatus for the vaporization of materials that releases active constituents for inhalation without the creation of harmful byproducts such as carcinogens associated with combustion and inhalation of substances.

Device for storing and dispensing a flowable substance that includes a container (20) having container apertures (50) and a multiply positionable lid (21) having lid apertures (49). With the lid (21) in the closed position, the lid (21) cannot be lifted from the container (20) and there is not access to the flowable substance. When the lid (21) is in the access position, the container and lid apertures align, allowing access to the flowable substance when an access seal (37) is altered. A third ...

In a phosphate fluorescent substance including orthophosphate as a parent material and manganese as a main activator, said phosphate fluorescent substance has at least one of the following features (I) and (II): (I) The maximum intensity point in the glow curve is within the range of 200.degree.-400.degree. C. and (II) Ia/Ib is within the range of 0.6-3.0.

Undecapeptides retaining the amino acids in positions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 of substance P (Arg.sup.1 -Pro.sup.2 -Lys.sup.3 -Pro.sup.4 -Gln.sup.5 -Gln.sup.6 -Phe.sup.7 -Phe.sup.8 -Gly.sup.9 -Leu.sup.10 -Met.sup.11 -NH.sub.2), but having substitutions in positions 1, 7, 9 and 11 of substance P have been discovered to have high antagonistic activity to block substance P in biological systems. Exemplifying these potent antagonists is D-Arg.sup.1,D-Trp.sup.7,D-Trp.sup.9 -Leu.sup.11 -Substance P, w...

An insulin mediator substance produced by the process comprising: contacting muscle tissue with insulin; deproteinizing the muscle tissue; removing the major nucleotides from the deproteinized muscle tissue; chromatographing the so-treated product on a Sephadex G-25 column using 0.05 N formic acid; and recovering the fraction wherein the major 230-nm absorbance peak corresponds with the ninhydrin-positive peak.

An apparatus (10) for distributing a substance (18) from a container (16) among a plurality of delivery channels (22) is disclosed. Apparatus (10) includes an auger (20) for moving a stream of substance (18) upwardly for outward centrifugal deflection by paddles (44) into a plurality of distributor pockets (60). Substance (18) which impacts and is retained in distributor pocket areas falls gravitationally into delivery tubes (22) for subsequent movement by pressurized air to outputs (26).
