Title: Method and compositions for chlorine dioxide manufacture
Inventor: ROSENBLATT AARON A
IPC: C01B11/02
Filed: 1995-12-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the generation, use, and disposal of chlorine dioxide is disclosed. A solid sodium chlorite composition having impurities, at least one of which is sodium hydroxide, is contacted with an agent to consume essentially all of the sodium hydroxide. Chlorine dioxide gas is then generated by contacting the resultant composition with chlorine in a humidified inert carrier gas. The resultant chlorine dioxide gas mixture may then be treated to remove chlorine gas present therein by contacting the same with soda-lime in particulate form. After using the chlorine dioxide gas mixture in the desired manner, chlorine dioxide present in the spent effluent gas may be substantially removed via the introduction of the effluent gas into an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate having a sufficient amount of an inorganic base to maintain the alkalinity of the solution during consumption of thiosulfate by chlorine dioxide.

Filed: 1993-06-01
Abstract: A dry-state iontophoretic drug delivery device (10, 30) is provided. The device has drug and electrolyte reservoirs (15, 16) which are initially in a non-hydrated condition. In one embodiment of the invention, a sealed liquid-containing pouch (21, 22) is provided in each electrode assembly (8, 9). Water or other liquid (20) is released from the pouch (21, 22) by pulling a tab (27, 28) attached to a portion (25, 26) of the pouch (21, 22) which is capable of being torn or ripped in order to hydrate the drug and electrolyte reservoirs (15, 16) and activate the device (10, 30). In another embodiment, the device (30) is held in a package (32). The device (30) has pouches (21, 22) which release their liquid contents automatically upon removal of the device (30) from the package (32). In yet another embodiment, the device (40) is held in a package (42) having a compression zone (46). The pouches (21, 22) must be moved through the compression zone (46) when removing the device (40) from the package (42). Compression causes the pouches (21, 22) to rupture and release the hydrating liquid (20).

Patent AU-4573900-A (AU)
Title: Projection screen
Inventor: GIBILINI DANIEL
IPC: G03B21/62
Filed: 2000-04-28
Abstract: The invention concerns a rear projection screen, comprising a support (22) with focusing elements such as microlenses (26) or lenticular elements, a holographic diffuser, and an opaque layer (36) with apertures (38) for allowing through the light focused by the microlenses. The light projected from the rear of the screen is concentrated by the microlenses (26) and passes through the opaque layer by the apertures (38). The holographic diffuser controls the directivity of the light. The incident light on the screen is absorbed by the opaque layer, such that the layer provides good transmittivity, high contrast, and controlled directivity owing to the holographic diffuser. The invention also concerns a method for making such a rear projection screen whereby the apertures in the opaque layer are formed by irradiating said layer or a preparatory material through the microlenses.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/01566 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 10, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 10, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 23, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/02585 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 3, 1994Sensor devices for examining fluid samples having, between the sample under examination and a detector, a membrane made of polyvinyl chloride in un-plasticized form. This membrane material acts as a barrier to paracetamol and sugars but is permeable to hydrogen peroxide and to oxalate, so these species can be determined after passing through the membrane. When they are not present as such in the sample, they may be formed from analytes which are sought (e.g. by enzymic action, which is especially applicable to the determination of glucose, using an oxidase enzyme). The membranes may be made by solvent casting, conveniently to a thickness of 10 to 40  mu m, and used in electrolytic systems with a platinum anode. The membrane material can be formed into multi-layer membranes, which may incorporate layers of material to protect it or modify the permeability, or added materials for example enzymes.

Title: Method and apparatus for manufacturing objects having optimized response characteristics
Inventor: VILLE JAMES A ST
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1996-02-14
Abstract: A method for manufacturing an object having a potential {x} which is generated in response to a field {f} applied thereto is provided. The method includes the step of designing a geometric model of the object. A computerized mathematical model of the object is generated by discretizing the geometric model of the object into a plurality of finite elements and defining nodes at boundaries of the elements, wherein values of the field {f} and potential {x} are specified at the nodes. A material property matrix [k] is then calculated based on the relationship {f}=[k] {x}. Material property coefficients are then extracted from the material property matrix [k] for each finite element in the computerized mathematical model and the extracted material property coefficients are compared to material property coefficients for known materials to match the extracted material property coefficients to the material property coefficients for known materials. Manufacturing parameters corresponding to the matched material property coefficients are then determined. The object is then manufactured in accordance with the determined manufacturing parameters.
