The invention concerns an oil-in-water emulsion wherein the oil droplets of a diameter in the range of 5 nm to hundreds of micrometers exhibit a nano-sized self-assembled structure with hydrophilic domains having a diameter size in the range of 0.5 to 200 nm, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive, and the oil-in-water emulsion contains a thickener or gelling agent in order to create new product consistencies and textures.

A pipe connector comprises a tubular pin member having a frustoconical outer surface and a tubular box member having a frustoconical inner surface corresponding to the outer surface of the pin member and which overlies the frustoconical surface of the pin member when the members are fully engaged. The members are provided with inter-engageable annular projections and grooves on the said peripheral surfaces for axially locking the members together when they are fully engaged together. The projections and grooves are spaced apart along the surfaces. The inner tubular surface of the pin member and an outer tubular surface of the box member each include at least one of a recess and / or a protrusion / radially enlarged section which reduces and / or increases the thickness of the tubular wall along the length of the associated member so as to balance the displacement of the members at different points along the length thereof under injection pressure.

According to the present invention (1), an alicyclic diepoxy compound represented by the following general formula (I): can be produced in high purity and high yields at low cost, by epoxidizing the corresponding alicyclic diolefin compound with an organic percarboxylic acid. As the alicyclic diepoxy compound lacks an ester group in the molecule, it will show high reactivity for a cationic catalyst. Besides, when it is used as a curable epoxy resin composition of the present invention (2), it will show an effect of lowering its curing temperature or reducing its curing time. The curable epoxy resin composition has high reactivity for various curing agents, low viscosity, and excellent workability. Moreover, the curable resin composition is also superior in that it has less effect to working surroundings, and a cured product thereof shows useful physical properties for the uses in coatings, ink, adhesives, sealants, encapsulants, and the like. Furthermore, as a resin composition of the present invention (3) shows a low coefficient of water absorption, it is of extremely high quality as an epoxy resin composition for the encapsulation of electronic parts. In addition, a stabilizer for an electrical insulating oil of the present invention (4) (i.e., the alicyclic diepoxy compound or an electrical insulating oil containing such a compound) is low in acid value, and the stabilizer improves the properties of the insulating oil. In addition, a cured product obtained by curing a casting epoxy resin composition for electrical insulation of the present invention (5) has excellent properties such as high bending strength, high Tg, and low permittivity.

Powder, e.g. of a medicament, is compacted and enrobed to produce compacted powder slugs by preferably mechanically compacting a powder and forming a film of material, preferably hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, by vacuum or pressure differential, about the surface of the powder thus compacted.

The present invention is directed toward respirable dry particles for delivery of divalent metal cation salts and / or monovalent cation salts to the respiratory tract and methods for treating a subject having a respiratory disease and / or infection.
