Abstract: This invention relates to a relatively thin cladded graphic arts impression graphic arts impression die plate (20) having a steel layer (22) which is integral throughout the extent thereof with a layer of copper (24) or bronze. A relieved design-defining surface may be formed in the copper or bronze layer by a chemical etching process or by chemical milling. In the case of chemical etching of the graphic arts impression die plate (20), a design-defining layer of photo-resist is applied to the outer surface of the copper layer (24) or the bronze layer and the relieved design is formed in the copper or bronze layer using a conventional ferric chloride etching solution. The etched graphic arts impression die plate may be mounted on an etchant-resistant backing or magnetic support member (28) to present an assembly which increases the thickness of the die assembly sufficiently to permit use thereof on standard stamping and embossing equipment without modification of the die-supporting chase. The magnetic support member (28) has a plurality of pairs of permanent magnets (33, 35) each pair of which is embedded within a respective cavity (32) and that are magnetically bridged by a steel plate (36). The pairs of magnets (33 and 35) attract the steel layer (22) of the graphic arts impression die plate (20) and thereby hold the graphic arts impression die plate on the magnetic support member (28). Etching of a blank cladded metal graphic arts impression die plate (20) is facilitated by provision of a rotatable magnetic support member (64, 164, 264, 364) within die etching apparatus (40) which serves to support the die blank while it is being subjected to the etchant solution. The die blank magnetic support member (64, 164, 264, 364) has permanent magnets (78, 178, 278, 378) embedded therein, or alternatively pairs of magnets each pair of which is bridged by a steel plate, which magnetically attract the steel layer (22) of the graphic arts impression die plate (29) to affix the graphic arts impression die plate to the magnetic support member.

Abstract: A polymer blend is prepared by dissolving chitosan and a second polymer in an acidic aqueous solution to form an aqueous polymer blend, dehydrating said aqueous polymer blend, and recovering said polymer blend. The second polymer may be selected from the group consisting of polyether glycols including polyethylene glycols; cellulose esters including cellulose acetate; poloxamers; polysaccharides including dextran and guar; polyvinylpyrrolidones;  polyvinyl alcohols; and mixtures or copolymers thereof. These polymer blends swell in an acidic environment and deswell in a more neutral or basic environment. This technology is valuable for the dispensing of biologically active material or drugs into a surrounding environment, especially the environment as is found in the gastrointestinal tract. Since the various polymer blends of the present invention are not covalently or ionically crosslinked, but are physically combined, each polymer in the physical blend maintains its original chemical structure, and therefore, is safe for oral or other routes of administration.

Title: Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with capability to perform multiple mass analysis steps
Inventor: HAGER JAMES W
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2001-06-26
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: A method of analyzing a substance comprises ionizing the substance to form a string of ions. The ions are then subject to a first mass analysis step. In one embodiment, the ions are accelerated into a collision cell in known manner to form primary fragment ions. These primary fragment ions are then accelerated into a downstream mass analyzer, to promote secondary fragmentation. In another embodiment of the invention, ions are passed through the collision cell, without fragmentation, and then accelerated from the collision cell into a low pressure section, which may be a mass analyzer or a rod set for collecting and collimating ions. This is done under conditions that promote fragmentation. The oprating conditions of the low pressure section can be such as to promote collection or retention of ions depending upon their mass, and more specifically to reject low mass ions. This enables primary fragment ions to be cooled, and secondary fragment ions to be formed subsequently from these ions after they have disipated some of their energy. This enables control of secondary fragmentation processes, and offers numerous opportunities for analyzing complex ions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for communications links with non-intrusiv e expansion capability. A first sputter combiner switches from a shut state to a bypass state when a second headend output is communicatively coupled to a first upstream input and a second headend input is communicatively coupled to a first downstream output. The first sputter combiner is then switchable back to the shut state from the bypass state when the either the second headend output is communicatively decoupled from the first upstream input or the second headend input is communicatively decoupled from the first downstream output. The systems and methods provide advantages because a communication network can be equipped for non-intrusive expansion of the network.
