Abstract:
A method for treatment of bacterial infections with rifalazil administered once-weekly or twice-weekly. A method for treatment of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, infections caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae and infections caused by Helicobacter pylori by administering to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection 1-100 mg of rifalazil once or twice a week. In this dose regimen, the treatment is fast, efficacious and eliminates undesirable secondary symptoms observed with daily doses of 1-50 mg of rifalazil.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a transition metal/polymer matrix composite material which has durable, wear and corrosion resistant and friction reducing characteristics which can be used in a powder or liquid form, or, which can be bonded to a desired surface at ambient temperature. The specific components are transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) disulfides of tungsten and molybdenum, and the polymer polytetrafuoroethylene (PTFE). This invention brings together the unique properties of organic chemistry (PTFE) and inorganic chemistry (TMD's) and creates a synergistic interaction optimizing the friction reducing properties of PTFE with similar friction reducing properties of select TMD's, and, the TMD's additional wear-resistance and natural tendency for forming a tenacious physical bond at a molecular level. The invention comprises a mixture of PTFE and TMDs (particularly tungsten disulfide and molybdenum disulfide) which can be applied to a substrate through a variety of mechanisms and manners to form a lubricious and wear-resistant layer ranging from 0.5 micron to 60 microns thick.
Abstract:
Thin impermeable, surface hardened, corrosion-resistant, durable, dry lubricant surface finishes are provided as well as surface finished products and methods for the production thereof. The surface finishes comprise particulate mixtures of sulfur containing metallic compounds and fluorocarbon polymers and are applied to surfaces of substrates such as metallic surfaces.
Abstract:
A surface-coated rubber or plastic sliding member having a coating with excellent durability and high slipperiness,wherein the coating comprises a solid lubricant such as molybdenum disulfide, a resin matrix and a reinforcement, said resin matrix comprising a fluoroolefin vinyl ether polymer resin and/or a fluoroolefin vinyl ether/vinyl ester copolymer resin.
Abstract:
A novel lubricant composition which processes high and positive friction characteristics and comprises (a) at least 20 % by weight of a polymer medium; (b) at least 5 % by weight of a solid lubricant; and (c) at least 5 % by weight of a powderized solid mineral friction modifier.
Abstract:
A system and method of processing an alloy ingot or other alloy workpiece to reduce thermal cracking and reduce friction between the workpiece (40) and the forging die (50, 52) may generally comprise positioning a multi-layer pad (130, 140) between the workpiece (40) and the forging die (50, 52).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a coating composition in powder form for metal substrates to be forged and the application thereof.
Abstract:
A solid lubricant and composition useful for lubricating the flanges of locomotive wheels, railcar wheels, rail track and in applications where it is desirable to reduce friction when metal contacts metal. The solid lubricant having from about twenty-five percent to about seventy percent by volume of a polymeric carrier, about five to seventy-five percent by volume of organic and inorganic extreme pressure additives, about zero to twenty percent by volume synthetic extreme pressure anti-wear liquid oil, and about zero to one percent by volume optical brightener.
Abstract:
he present invention provides compositions and methods for the coating and/or ballistic conditioning of firearm projectiles and firearm components including gun barrels, firearm chambers, fully assembled cartridges, shotgun shells, shotgun wads, shot capsules and sabots with molybdenum disulfide. The composition comprises powdered molybdenum disulfide suspended in a carrier comprising a volatile solvent and a binder selected from cellulosic-, alkyd- and acrylic-resins. Methods for the conditioning of firearm bores by the formation of a hardened layer comprising a product of the reaction or interaction of molybdenum disulfide with materials in the barrel bore are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A lubricant for hot rolling used when high-Cr stainless steel is hot rolled, the lubricant being supplied continuously at least while the hot rolling of high-Cr stainless steel is done, to the surface, which contacts the material to be rolled, of a working roll, the lubricant being obtained by dispersing 10-40 wt.% of iron hydroxide powder having an average particle diameter of not less than 0.1 mu m and less than 1 mu m into a viscous aqueous solution produced by dissolving a thickener, which comprises water-soluble high polymer, in water, the lubricant having apparent viscosity of 1000-50000 cP.
