摘要:
The present invention provides a method of preparing a cellulose solution suitable for extrusion as a seamless tubular film by providing a pulp of substantially open-ended fibrillated softwood fibers having a mean fiber length less than 2.0 mm and then dissolving the pulp in a suitable solvent to produce the cellulose solution. In addition, the present invention provides a method of preparing a cellulose food casing from a cellulose solution of the present invention.
摘要:
A battery separator of a cellulosic nonwoven substrate coated on at least one surface with a cellulose film and process for making such separator by contacting a nonwoven cellulosic textile substrate with a cellulose or cellulose derivative solution on at least one side of said substrate; converting the solution to a solid cellulose or cellulose derivative having a degree of polymerization of at least 500, preferably at least 600, to form a coated substrate; washing and drying the coated substrate to provide a battery separator having a absorption rate of at least 6 mm/5 min. and a 30% KOH absorption of at least 200 g/m.sup.2.

摘要:
A device for use in a swimming pool to continuously dispense chlorine for sanitizing the water is disclosed which has a metering valve designed for precise adjustment of the rate of dispersion of the chemical contained in the feeder. The metering mechanism is made of two segments, with a metering valve cap fitting over a metering valve body to adjust the apertures in the metering mechanism. Precise control is afforded both by a screw-type adjustment of aperture size and by a prevention of inadvertent readjustment of the metering mechanism caused by the device being bumped.
摘要:
The present invention encompasses a compound of Formula (I) useful as caspase active site probes. These probes can be used to determine whether a caspase has been activated, in cells or in tissues of animal models of various pathologies. Furthermore, through competition based assays, these caspase active site probes can be used to calculate the percentage of occupancy of active caspases by other, unlabeled inhibitors.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounded fibrous dope compositions of amine oxide cellulose solutions having a uniformly dispersed second fibrous material, methods of producing the compositions, and shaped articles such as fibers, paper, films, and food casings produced from the compositions.
摘要:
A cellulose food casing comprising a nonderivatized cellulose film precipitated in tubular form from an extruded thermoplastic solution of cellulose, an amine oxide cellulose solvent and water.
摘要:
A device for use in a swimming pool to continuously dispense chlorine for sanitizing the water is disclosed which provides an indication when the device has either depleted or nearly depleted its chlorine supply. The float supporting the feeder and the chlorine is of two colors, one color on the top and a second color on the bottom. When an adequate amount of chlorine is contained in the feeder, the bottom color is below the waterline and not readily visible, and when the chlorine is depleted to a desired minimum amount, the bottom color is sufficiently above the waterline to provide a readily perceived visual warning of chlorine depletion.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for purifying Human interleukin-5 (IL-5) a single chromatographic step. After removing cells from a cell culture expressing human interleukin-5, IL-5 is purified by first adjusting the culture supernatant to the calculated pI value of mature IL-5 (pI=7.44) and then passing the conditioned supernatant through tandem linked anion- and cation-exchange columns. The resulting pass-through fraction contains the IL-5 and is devoid of all other contaminating proteins. An optional hydrophobic-interaction chromatography step is disclosed for positive selection of IL-5 and in order to concentrate the preparation. Pure IL-5 was recovered with a high overall yield (>90%), was N-glycosylated and was entirely homodimeric.
