Abstract: A method for applying an additive, e.g. a fluoropolymer, to cellulose. The method comprises a number of steps. First, solid cellulose, a solvent capable of dissolving cellulose, e.g. NMMO and a dispersion of the additive are brought into contact with each other. The additive is allowed to diffuse into the dissolved cellulose, which is possible as a result of the dissolution of the surface layer of the solid cellulose. The solubility of cellulose in the solvent is then reduced, whereby the additive that has diffused into the dissolved cellulose is incorporated into the resulting solid cellulose. A method for applying a fluoropolymer to cellulose as a surface coat is also described. Flexible bearing components comprising a mat of cellulose fibres and a fluoropolymer which may be made by the methods described.

Abstract: The packet structure includes an envelope structure and a tear structure therein. The tear structure provides for tearing of a specific section of the envelope structure to gain access to a film strip which is stored within an internal cavity in the envelope structure. The tear structure has a reduced resistance to tearing relative to an adjoining portion of the envelope structure. The reduced resistance to tearing directs the tearing of the envelope structure to a specific section thereof. The tear structure may alternatively have a pull-string attached within the envelope structure and extending through an aperture therein to a location outside of the envelope structure. The location of the aperture and attachment of the pull-string within the envelope structure directs the tearing of the envelope structure to a specific section thereof.

Abstract: A method of inducing latency in Mycobacterium permits preparation of an i n vitro model system of latent mycobacterial infection. Latency is induced i n a pure culture of Mycobacterium by exposing it to multiple stress conditio ns, including a low nutrient culture medium without glycerol, a low pH, a re latively high level of carbon dioxide and a relatively low gas phase oxygen level. An in vitro model of mycobacterial infection employs macrophages indu ced from THP1 cells which are then infected with Mycobacterium. The infected macrophages are grown under hypoxic conditions to induce latency in the myc obacteria. The in vitro model of infection is useful in evaluating compounds for activity against latent mycobacteria.

Abstract: A boost converter for an electronic dimming ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp has an increased output power range. The boost converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode when a desired intensity of the lamp is below a first threshold intensity, and operates in critical conduction mode when the desired intensity is above a second threshold intensity. The boost converter comprises a delay circuit for introducing an amount of delay into the conduction of current through the boost converter. A control circuit of the ballast is operable to drive the delay circuit and thus control the operation of the boost converter in response to the desired intensity of the lamp. The control circuit is further operable to drive the delay circuit with a pulse-width modulated signal to provide multiple amounts of delay into the operation of the boost converter.
