Abstract: A transparent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which
combines transparency and high temperature adhesive properties. The transparent
pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains a polymer of one or more
acrylic-based monomers and an organophilic layered clay mineral dispersed therein,
wherein part of the polymer has been intercalated between layers of the clay mineral to
cause interlayer separation and the clay mineral has a layer-to-layer distance of 100 Å
or longer. It is produced by a process which includes: mixing 100 parts by weight of
the monomers with 10 to 150 parts by weight of an organophilic layered clay mineral

Abstract: The excess space and weight capacity that is typical of a launch of large satellites to high-energy
orbits, such as a geosynchronous orbit, is used to deploy small satellites at a substantially
lower-energy orbit, such as a low-earth orbit. An orbit-transfer vehicle (300) provides the navigation,
propulsion, and control systems required to transport a payload satellite (380) from a geosynchronous-transfer
orbit (GTO) to a predetermined low-earth orbit (LEO). Depending upon the particular
configuration, upon achieving the low-earth orbit, the orbit transfer vehicle either releases the
payload satellite, or remains attached to the payload satellite to provide support services, such as
power, communications, and navigation, to the payload satellite. To reduce the fuel requirements
for this deployment via the orbit-transfer vehicle, the orbit-transfer vehicle employs aerobraking
to bring the satellite into a low-earth orbit. The aerobraking is preferably performed at a nominal
altitude of 150km above the earth, where the atmosphere is dense enough to allow for a
reasonably sized drogue device, yet rare enough to avoid the need for special purpose heat-shielding
materials. In a preferred operation, the provider ofthe orbit-transfer vehicle identifies
and secures available excess capacity on geosynchronous-transfer launch vehicles, and allocates
the excess capacity to the satellites requiring low-earth orbit deployment, thereby providing a
deployment means that is virtually transparent to the purchaser of this deployment service.

Abstract: An attachable breast form enhancement system comprising a pair of breast forms adjoined by a connector. The breast forms have an interior surface with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that adjoins to the user's breasts. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer can be a permanently grown pressure sensitive adhesive that has an adhesion force to the breast forms that is greater than a cohesion force to the user's breasts. The connector adjoins the separated breast forms by attaching to the inner sides of the breast forms and pulling the user's breasts together. The connector can be either permanently or removably attached to the breast forms. Several different configurations of breast forms and connectors are available to achieve the benefits of the present breast form system. The improved breast form system allows a user to eliminate use of traditional bras by simply adhering the pair of breast forms to the user's breasts/skin, and then adjoining the breast forms with the connector. The breast form system provides for enhancement of breast size and shape, as well as provides for customization of breast cleavage and push-up enhancement. <IMAGE>

from the reticle stage. In other words, the catadioptric exposure optics does not
perform image flip. The reticle stage lies on a first plane and the wafer stage lies
on a second plane, where the first plane is orthogonal to the second plane. In
another embodiment of the present invention, the catadioptric exposure optics
projects an even number of reflections. The projected image is of high precision
and lacks aberrations such as perspective warping and obscured areas. 
The invention can be combined with a dual wafer stage and with a dual isolation
