Abstract: IMPROVED COMPOSITION AND DEVICE FOR URINARY PROTEIN         ASSAY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME     Abstract of the Disclosure An improved composition, test device and method of determining the presence or concentration of proteins, such as albumin, in a liquid test sample, such as urine, are disclosed.  The test device includes a test pad comprising a carrier matrix incorporating a new and improved indicator reagent composition capable of interacting with proteins to produce a detectable response.  The new and improved indicator reagent composition comprises an indicator dye that is capable of interacting with albumin and undergoing a detectable response, such as a color transition; a buffer; a hydrophobic polymeric compound having the general structural formula:                                            ,    (I) wherein A is   and PO is an oxypropylene unit, EO is an oxyethylene unit, y is a number in the range of 0 to about 20, z is a number in the range of 0 to about 20, the sum y+z is a number in the range of about 2 to about 20, and R2 and R3 are selected, independently, from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, and an aryl group;          R1 is either methylene or oxygen; n is a number in the range of one to about 8; and E is hydrogen or methylol when R1 is methylene, or E is hydroxy when R1 is oxygen; and a suitable carrier comprising water.  The indicator reagent composition provides an improved color resolution in the test pad, and therefore improved color differentiation between test samples assaying negative to protein and test samples assayed as including a trace amount of protein, thereby substantially reducing the number of false positive assays for protein.

Inventor: EARLE ANTHONY
IPC: G03D3/06
Filed: 1992-03-23
Abstract: Abstract PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING APPARATUS             In known photographic processing apparatus, pumps are used to recirculate and recycle processing solutions thereby producing the desired agitation of the processing solutions.  However, such pumps are normally mounted externally to the processing tank and are connected thereto by means of an arrangement of flexible pipes.  Described herein is a modular processing tank arrangement (10, 14, 16, 18) in which the pumps (38, 40, 42) are mounted integrally with the module.  This means that the module can be removed as a whole without having to disconnect a large number of pipes.

Title: Process for producing improved water absorbing resin and resin made by the same
Inventor: UEDA SHIGEKI
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: ABSTRACT    The  invention  relates  to  a  process  for  producing improved  water  absorbing  resin  comprising  the  steps  of treating  water  absorbing  resin  particles  (A)  with  an aqueous  solution of  a  water-soluble  compound  (B)  and  a crosslinking  agent  (C),  reacting,  and  obtaining  resin particles crosslinked in the surface vicinity; and a water absorbing  resin  obtained  by  this  process  possessing  the absorption  characteristics  of  an  absorbency  under  a pressure-free state of 50 times or more to physiological saline  solution,  and an absorbency under the pressurized state  of  30  times  or  more  to  physiological  saline solution.  The water-soluble compound (B)  is at least one water-soluble compound selected from the group consisting of alkylene-oxide adducts of monofunctional alcohols  (1), a monofunctional salts of organic acids  (2),  and lactams (3), and inert to (A) and (C); and the crosslinking agent (C) has two or more functional groups capable of reacting with  (A).   The  obtained  improved  water  absorbing  resin possesses an excellent absorbing capacity whether under no pressure or under pressure,  and does not form lumps when brought  into contact with water.   The initial absorption rate  is  superior,  and the dry feeling of  the gel  after absorbing  water  is  excellent.   Therefore  it  is  used beneficially  as  a  sanitary  material,   cold  insulating material, water sealing materials, and many others.

Title: Transfer Belt
Inventor: EKLUND NILS O
IPC: D21F3/04
Filed: 1993-01-13
Abstract: A transfer belt (60) for carrying a paper sheet (40) in a papermachine from a press nip in a closed draw to a transfer point, where it is readily released. The belt comprises a supporting base (62) with a particle-filled polymer coating (80) on its paper-facing surface (66), which surface has a pressure-responsive recoverable degree of roughness. During compression in the nip, the surface (66) becomes relatively smooth to allow a thin, almost continuous water film (100) to form between the belt (60) and the sheet (40), which film holds the sheet to the transfer belt as it leaves the nip. Shortly after leaving the nip, the belt surface recovers its uncompressed roughness, breaking up the water film so as to facilitate the release of the sheet from the belt as it reaches the transfer point. <IMAGE>

Title: Flammable neutralizing system and packet
Inventor: WEBB MICHAEL C
IPC: B67D7/32
Filed: 1993-09-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT   A system for neutralizing petroleum products leaked into an enclosed portion of a fuel transfer system such as a sump. The system comprises the use of a water insoluble container having a quantity of a petroleum product mitigation agent enclosed therein. A water insoluble barrier for releasing the quantity of mitigation agent upon contact with a petroleum product permits the mitigation agent to neutralize the petroleum product as soon as it is present and in contact with the barrier. The container may be formed from polystyrene and positioned in the sump to permit the release to the petroleum products regardless of the amount of water present in the sump. In one embodiment, the tube is vertically aligned and extends from the bottom to the top of the sump. Alternatively, the container comprises a petroleum product soluble packet and includes flotation aid for maintaining the packet floating on top of any water in the sump. In another embodiment, the container is positioned above the sump and the water insoluble release barrier includes a closure valve for urging release of the petroleum product mitigation agent and a petroleum product soluble rod opposing the closure valve until petroleum product is present in the sump.

Title: Foldable electrical component enclosures
Inventor: MORAN THOMAS F JR
IPC: H02G3/10
Filed: 1992-04-02
Abstract: A rigid plastic enclosure made from flat blanks (10) which is particularly well suited for use as an electrical or electronic component enclosure. The top, bottom, back, and side walls (14, 16, 18, 20) of the enclosure are parts of a unitary structure made by cutting and/or routing a single sheet of plastic which can be folded and locked into an open-faced, box-shaped structure by hand without using tools. A cover (56) or face plate can be fastened to the folded and locked structure to complete the enclosure.  Because the enclosure is constructed from plastic, holes (51) can be easily drilled into its walls, eliminating the need for providing knockout holes at predetermined locations. Because the sidewalls (14, 16, 18, 20) can be folded away from the interior of the enclosure, it is easier for electricians to install electrical and electronic devices into the enclosure and to perfom wiring operations within the enclosure. The invention is lighter than steel enclosures, and can be shipped and stored in a flat configuration, thereby saving space and allowing for lower shipping and handling costs.

IPC: B62B13/12
Filed: 1994-01-11
Abstract: A ski-sled having particular application for the disabled in which the skier sits and controls speed and direction of the vehicle with their hands. An identical pair of left and right control linkages allows the skier to push and pull hand grips along linear axes, thereby in each linkage levering a pair of obliquely connected rotating cylinders and so rotating a ski attached to the second cylinder. Friction wings attached near the ski tips further amplify the levering action, so that a disabled person with little strength or control in their arms, or possibly a child, can easily produce the force necessary to rotate the skis for braking or turning. The seat portion is fashioned high enough from the ground to accommodate common chair-lift situations.
