A food package is provided that includes a compartment in which food items are carried and a holder portion which allows a user to place the food item therein with the food item held in a stationary position. The food holder can serve as a staging area for combining the food item with other food items or can be used as a placement location for a partially eaten food item. In the preferred multicompartment package, an improved back card construction is also disclosed.

Metal cable having two layers of construction 4+N comprising an inner layer C1 of 4 wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, this layer C1 itself being surrounded by an outer layer C2 of N wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2, characterized in that said cable furthermore has the following characteristics (d1, d2, p1 and p2 in mm):0.25<d1<0.40;0.25<d2<0.40;3.5<p1<7<p2<14.Such a cable, of preferred construction 4+9, is in particular usable for reinforcing tires, in particular as an anchoring means for a carcass reinforcement of a tire without a solid bead wire.

Compositions and processes for controlling nematodes are described herein, e.g., nematodes that infest plants or animals. The compounds include oxazoles, oxadiazoles and thiadiazoles.

Tire comprising a crown surmounted by a tread, a crown reinforcement, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement passing into the two sidewalls and anchored by means for anchoring in the two beads, said anchoring means comprising, in at least one bead, a circumferential alignment of at least one anchoring reinforcing member oriented circumferentially and cooperating with a rubber composition referred to as ‘anchoring rubber’; this tire is characterized in that this anchoring reinforcing member is a metal cable having two layers of construction M+N comprising an inner layer C1 of M wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, this layer C1 itself being surrounded by an outer layer C2 of N wires of diameter d2 wound together in a helix at a pitch p2, this anchoring cable furthermore having the following characteristics (d1, d2, p1 and p2 in mm):2≦M≦4M+3≦N≦M+70.25<d1<0.40;0.25<d2<0.40;3.5<p1<7<p2<14.The invention also relates to a metal / rubber composite comprising the above two-layered metal cable associated with a rubber matrix of high rigidity, having, in the vulcanized state, a secant tensile modulus at 10% elongation which is greater than 20 MPa.

A packaging sleeve for retaining a plurality of individually packaged products includes a first sidewall having a first opening that partially receives a first product of the plurality of individually packaged products, as well as a reinforcing biasing beam that exhibits a spring action to bias the first product into the first opening by applying a force to the first product in a direction toward the first opening. The biasing beam includes a first wall and a second wall, with the first wall of the biasing beam contacting and biasing the first product, and the second wall of the biasing beam contacting a second product and biasing the second product into a second opening formed in the sleeve. The biasing beam is convertible between a fully compressed state and a fully expanded state, with the biasing beam being biased to the fully expanded state.

Doses of cosmetic fluid dispensed from a roll-on dispenser can fluctuate significantly between successive applications. This problem can be alleviated by perturbing flow within the roll-on housing, such as air flow, by forming flow perturbators on the interior side-wall of the housing. These perturbators can alternatively or additionally comprise lateral beads or notching an interior sealing ring. The dispenser housing preferably also includes a spider normally located between the roller and the bottle interior, and preferably a resilient spider having an facing surface parallel with the roller that can control the depth of liquid film adhering to the roller, which when the roller is a ball means a concave upper face of similar radius of curvature to that of the ball.

A compact field spectrograph is described that provides a resolution of 500 or more with no entrance aperture, providing for substantial gain in light throughput, ideal for viewing multiple distant objects with or without telescopic aid, and providing the ability to observe and distinguish a multiplex of objects simultaneously, even if in motion, with minimal or no mechanical tracking required. Spectra may be viewed directly with the unaided eye, or photographed with common consumer cameras.

The present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of cancers. In particular, the disclosure provides methods for treatment of cancer by administering a Raf inhibitor in combination with a taxane. The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a subject suffering from cancer, comprising administering to the subject: (i) a Raf kinase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (ii) a taxane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; the amount of the Raf kinase inhibitor and taxane or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is such that the combination thereof is therapeutically effective in the treatment of the cancer.
