摘要:
The invention relates to a method of diagnosing and treating individuals with diabetes or at risk to develop diabetes mellitus. In particular, gastric emptying determinations are used to assess risk. Risk or early symptoms associated with subsequent development of diabetes mellitus may be controlled or alleviated by delaying gastric emptying. Delay orThe Government may have certain rights in the invention pursuant to grant No. 2-S07-RR07187-11.

摘要:
A lubricant composition for a high load carrying oil comprises a synergistic mixture of a neutral alkyl phosphorus compound and a sulphur carrier. The neutral alkyl phosphorus compound is selected from neutral alkyl and alkoxyalkyl phosphates, phosphonates, phosphinates and phosphites. Preferred neutral alkyl phosphorus compounds are triisobutyl phosphate, tributoxyethyl phosphate and dioctyl octyl phosphonate. Preferred sulphur carriers are sulphurised fatty acid esters and dialkyl polysulphides. High load carrying oils containing the lubricant composition of the invention include metal working fluids, gear oils, extreme pressure turbine oils and hydraulic oils.

A power tool and accessories therefor including a variable speed motor for a mortiser, an integrated chisel positioning tool for positioning a chisel in a desired position, and an integrated tool sharpening device mounted directly on the power tool to permit ease and efficiency in the sharpening of tools. Additionally, an improved clamping arrangement is provided that permits firm clamping of a work piece without slippage. Greater flexibility in the hold down may be achieved by using arms for the hold down that are both rotatable about and can be translated along respective horizontal axes.

摘要:
An ultrasmooth-diamond film has a thickness greater than about ten microns and an average grain size less than about 0.5 micron. The ultrasmooth diamond film of the present invention is grown using ordinary microwave plasma CVD methods, with a metal vapor source included in the reactor to produce vapor during the growth of the film. The metal vapor source may be chosen from the first row transition elements, chromium, iron, cobalt, and nickel, or from the lanthanides praseodymium, europeum, or erbium. Any metal capable of existing in the vapor phase in the presence of the hydrogen plasma, will cause formation of the ultrasmooth film of the present invention.
摘要:
Enhanced optical coupling by phase evanescent fields is achieved by covering the planar layer of a waveguide with a thin metal oxide film incorporating a relief phase grating. The grating is originally formed in a metallic film covering the planar layer, which metallic film is converted to a metal oxide film by heating in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
