A gas cylinder (l) comprises a cylinder body (2) internally defining a gas storage space (3) which is closable through a closure valve (4), as well as a' threaded tubular neck (10), formed at the cylinder body (2) so as to be able to receive such closure valve (4) in communication with the gas storage space (3). The neck (10) comprises an inner portion (11) internally threaded and projecting inwardly into the gas storage space (3) in the cylinder body (2).

An infant feeding apparatus includes a food container (7) having an open end (71) and a closed end (72). A plurality of apertures (8) are formed on the container (7). A first coupling member (5) has an opening (51) which can be connected with the open end (71) of the container (7). A second coupling member (3) engages with the first coupling member (5) and can be movable between an open configuration allowing food to pass through the opening (51) and into the container (7), and a sealed configuration where the second coupling member (3) covers and seals the open end (71) of the container (7). The container (7) is made of a soft resilient material, and the apertures (8) and the container (7) are sized and shaped so that normally the container (7) can stay in its original shape and the food can stay inside the container (7). The container (7) collapses by external force during feeding, and returns to its original shape upon release of the force.

A method of adjusting gel time of a grouting system used for anchoring a reinforcement in a mine includes adding inhibitor to initiator of the grouting system, the inhibitor and initiator being disposed together in a first compartment of a multi-compartment shreddable package.

The invention relates to a profile rail (1) for monorail overhead conveyors and to the use of a rolled steel profile for producing said profile rail (1). The profile rail (1) has an I-shaped design comprising a top flange (2) and a bottom flange (3) forming a running surface (4). The top flange (2) has a recess (5) on the top side thereof, the recess being pocket-shaped in the cross section thereof, to form a substantially U-shaped top flange (2). The bottom flange (3) also has a recess (6) on the bottom side thereof, the recess being pocket-shaped in the cross section thereof, to form a substantially reversed U-shaped bottom flange (3). Running surfaces (4) are formed on both sides of an I-web (10). According to the invention, the ratio of rail width (B) to rail height (H) ranges from approx. 0.2 to 0.6.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide hydrocarbon and methods of using the same. The additives are suitable for use in conjunction with gasifiers, furnaces, or other high-temperature vessels. The additives may be part of an input stream to a reaction vessel of a hydrocarbon gasifier. The additives include a ferric oxide, a magnesium oxide, a manganese oxide, or a combination thereof, that at least partially reduce the infiltration of slag into the refractory material.

The invention relates to a suspended file (10, 110) having an envelope element (12) for receiving flat objects, preferably documents, and having holding elements (30) which have hooks (32), are arranged at a spacing from one another and can be moved between a holding position, in which, for being hooked into holding rails, the hooks (32) project beyond two side edges (20) of the envelope element (12) which extend at a spacing from one another, and a withdrawn position, in which the hooks (32) are withdrawn at least partially in the direction of the side edges (20), wherein the envelope element (12) has at least one receiving pocket (26) which extends between the side edges (20), is open towards the latter and in which a rigid reinforcing rail (28) is received which extends at least over a large part of the length of the receiving pocket (26) and to which the holding elements (30) are connected movably. There is provision according to the invention for the holding elements (30) to bear in each case in sections flatly against the reinforcing rail (28) and, during movement, to slide with one of their side faces on a side face of the reinforcing rail (28).

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to antitumor agents based on a platinum compound aqueous solution, to methods for producing the above-mentioned agents and to methods for the stabilisation thereof. The method for stabilising antitumor agents, which are based on the platinum compound aqueous solution, is carried out by the use of a mixture of a fluorouracil base and carbamide and a low-proton concentration solution.

An apparatus assists in preventing the accumulation of debris in a flow path during the formation of a borehole. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a drill head including a drive shaft for driving a drilling element to form the borehole. Preferably, the drilling element includes a passage forming a flow path for debris from the borehole. A carrier positioned adjacent the flow path is connected to at least one agitator connected to the carrier for agitating debris in the flow path, A related method pertains to manufacturing a drill head including an agitator.

The invention relates to pharmacy and to the pharmaceutical and food industries, in particular to the production of compositions for stimulating mucous membrane and skin integument amelioration and for enhancing the organism’s immunity. The aim of the invention is to develop a compound containing a thick pine needle extract with an improved quality composition, to increase the biological activity of components and to preserve the processing characteristics and stability of the thick pine needle extract composition in a capsular form. The aim is achieved in that α-tocopherol (vitamin E), retinol (vitamin A), naphthoquinones (vitamin K), essential fatty acids (vitamin F) and microelements (zinc, selenium) are added, with a specified component ratio, into the thick pine needle extract composition for capsulation.

The present invention refers to a method for detecting the geometry of underground fractures comprising the steps consisting of introducing a filling material (14) into an underground fracture (11) to form a pack of filling material (14); transmitting an electromagnetic field into the fracture (11); detecting at least one reflected signal of the electromagnetic field transmitted; and processing the at least one detected signal to reconstruct the geometric and dimensional characteristics of the pack of filling material (14); and it is characterised in that the electromagnetic field transmitted into the fracture (11) has a frequency comprised in the range of between 30 megahertz and 250 megahertz and in that said filling material is not added with any additives. The present invention also refers to a system for detecting the geometry of underground fractures for implementing the aforementioned method.
