Abstract: By using diatomaceous earth as the moisture donor for solving the problems of the oxygen absorbers employing the conventional moisture containing materials, there are provided a practically excellent oxygen absorber capable of forming a compact oxygen absorber package with high cost performance and a higher oxygen adsorptivity at a less carrier content, and a method for producing the same. The oxygen absorber comprises iron powder, an oxidation accelating agent, a filler and a moisture donor produced by immersing diatomaceous earth having an adsorptivity showing a equilibrium humidity of 55% or more at a moisture content of 2% in water or a humidifying agent. By using the diatomaceous earth having the specific adsorptivity as a moisture donor, an oxygen absorber package can be prepared, having higher oxygen adsorptivity with a lower carrier content and being of a compact size to be placed in any location. Additionally, an oxygen absorber can be provided, being excellent in terms of safety and hygiene, low in cost, and allowing excellent practical application.

Abstract: A solution for electroplating gold-copper-silver alloys. The solution comprises gold, copper and silver, each in the form of a cyanide complex. The solution further comprises a divalent sulfur compound capable of brightening and leveling the electroplated deposit of the gold-copper-silver alloy. Optionally, a source of cyanide ions such as a free alkali cyanide, is included in the solution. In addition, additives such as surface active agents, buffers and/or conductivity salts may also be included to impart a particular feature or characteristic to the solution. The invention additionally comprises a process for electroplating up to about 20 microns of a gold-copper-silver alloy upon a substrate utilizing these novel solutions. The alloy is deposited upon a substrate which is immersed in the solution, by electroplating at a current density of between about 1 and 15 ASF, a pH of between about 8-11 at a temperature of between about 100 - 170°F for a time sufficient to obtain the desired thickness. Improved brightness results are obtained with the process of the invention by manipulating the electroplating current.

IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: A glucose sensor to provide a non-invasive means of determining blood glucose which is of particular value in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. The patient's eye is illuminated with near-infrared radiation which passes into the eye through the cornea (9) and the aqueous humor (8), is reflected from the iris (10) and/or lens surface, and then passes out through the aqueous humor (8) and cornea (9). The reflected radiation is collected and detected by a near-infrared sensor which measures the reflected energy in one or more wavelength bands. Comparison of the reflected energy with the source energy provides a measure of the spectral absorption by the eye which is characteristic of the composition of the cornea (9), the aqueous humor (8), and the other structures within the eye through which the energy is transmitted or from which it is reflected. In particular, the level of glucose in the aqueous humor (8) is a function of the level of glucose in the blood so that non-invasive determinations of blood glucose may be obtained by suitable calibration relating the measured spectral absorption of the aqueous humor (8) to the measured blood glucose level. To obtain specificity and accuracy, the spectral data at several or many wavelengths may be utilized with a multivariate calibration and prediction process to separate the glucose information from the spectral influences of interfering substances, such as water, which also absorb the near-infrared radiation within the wavelength region utilized for the measurement. The system includes a computer for processing the spectral data and a display for readout of the result.
