Patent EP-1297843-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TSUCHIDA EISHUN
IPC: A61K47/22
Filed: 2000-12-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for
regenerating an oxygen-binding ability by reducing the
methemoglobin contained in hemoglobin-vesicle by light
irradiation. This method comprises adding electron
donors such as amino acids, saccharides, alcohols,
and/or flavin derivatives in appropriate amounts to the
inner aqueous phase of the hemoglobin-vesicle, applying
light to the vesicle when the content of methemoglobin
increases as a result of oxidation of hemoglobin,
thereby reducing the metohemoglobin. In this manner,
the oxygen-binding ability is recovered, thereby
maintaining the function of the hemoglobin-vesicle.

Abstract: A method has been disclosed for preparing a co-precipitated
microcrystalline dye dispersion which comprises, as consecutive
preparation steps: adding to one vessel, an amount of at least one
pentamethine oxonol-type barbituric acid filter dye having ionizable
sites in its molecular structure; adding thereto an aqueous alkaline
solution in an amount sufficient to completely dissolve the said
filter dye while stirring the solution thus formed; adding in
another vessel, to an amount of at least one pyrrole type filter
dye, an amount of water, followed by adding of an aqueous alkaline
solution and a surfactant; followed, after having completely
dissolved (under stirring conditions) the said pyrrole type filter
dye, by adding to the solution thus formed in the other vessel, the
solution formed in the one vessel; adding an aqueous acidic solution
up to a pH of less than 3.0; adding an aqueous alkaline solution up
to a pH in the range from 4.0 up to 5.5; followed by adding a
binder. 
     Increasing the temperature of the reaction vessel up to coating
temperature (about 40°C), after application of the procedure
described before, makes the dispersion thus obtained ready-for-coating
in a filter dye layer on a support, suitable for use as
antihalation undercoat layer between said support and a light-sensitive
layer or as a backing layer of said material, or as layer

Abstract: The procedure consists of covering a layer (10) of carded and pre-felted natural, e.g. linen, fibres with a layer (12) of reinforcing, e.g. glass, fibres, and passing the two layers through a felting machine (14) to produce limited depth penetration of the fibres in the adjoining surfaces of the two layers. The felting process is designed to give a felted thickness of about 20 per cent of the total thickness of the combined layers with no fibres of one layer passing right through the fibres of the other. The glass fibres in the synthetic layer are 9 - 24 microns in diameter and 50 - 150 mm long, and prior to felting the two layers are covered with a net (16) of very fine synthetic fibres with a weight of between 40 and 150 g/sq m, to produce a good surface after impregnating with resin and moulding.
