Abstract: The invention is a method of enhancing the strength of paper products, particularly the dry strength, without adversely affecting repulpability. It is also directed to the resulting products. It is particularly applicable but not limited to products with significant amounts of secondary fiber in the furnish. Preferably, about 10-30 % of the fiber is separated from the furnish at some point prior to sheeting. This is treated with a cationic wet strength resin which is allowed to bond to the fiber. Cationic polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins are particularly useful. The treated fiber is then mixed with the untreated balance of the fiber at some point before the paper machine. Screening fines on repulping do not normally exceed 2-3 %.

Abstract: A system for purifying a polluted air by using algae such as
Spirulina is capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen oxide
(NO x ) and/or sulfur oxide (SO x ) in the polluted air and generating
oxygen. That is, this system comprises a culture tank filled with a
culture fluid including the algae, an air supply unit for forcing the
polluted air into the culture fluid to dissolve carbon dioxide and nitrogen
oxide and/or sulfur oxide in the culture fluid, and a lighting unit for
radiating a light to the culture fluid. By radiating the light to the
culture fluid in the presence of carbon dioxide, photosynthesis of the
algae is promoted to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. In addition,
the algae use the nitrogen oxide and/or sulfur oxide as a nutrient during
the photosynthesis. As a result, the present system can efficiently
purify the polluted air to generate a purified air, which is rich in oxygen.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an ion implantation system that employs
an ion source (12) for ionizing and implanting into a substrate (S) a noble diluent gas and
a particular dopant gas. The noble diluent gas of the present invention preferably does not
react with the dopant gas, or with dopant residue which coats the walls of the ionization
chamber (24) of the ion source (12), thus allowing the ion source to be used for accurate,
stable low dose implants. Additionally, the noble diluent gas does not introduce
conductivity altering ions, or impurities, into the substrate (S). Consequently, the dosage
of the dopant ions implanted into the substrate can be precisely controlled, especially in
low dose applications.
