Abstract: It is an object to improve sizing performance and anti-plate-soiling property in offset printing, for example, in a cationic surface sizing agent to be used for coating base paper of newsprint paper, and as a means for solving the object, a cationic surface sizing agent is produced by quaternizing a copolymer having a weight average molecular weight ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 obtained by polymerizing (a) 20 to 40% by weight of a monomer containing tertiary amino group; (b) 10 to 80% by weight of a C4 to C18 alkyl ester of (meth) acrylic acid; and (c) 0 to 70% by weight of a styrene or derivative thereof, using an azoic polymerization initiator in the presence of a chain transfer agent. In this manner, it is possible to improve sizing performance without reducing the hydrophobic level of copolymer and to suppress sensitization of printing plate such as PS plate by specifying the monomer composition ratio, using an azoic polymerization initiator, and specifying molecular weight of the copolymer.

Title: Apparatus for intraosseous fluid infusion or aspiration
Inventor: JOHNSON DAVID L
IPC: A61M25/06
Filed: 1998-05-15
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for infusing fluids to and aspirating tissue from an intraosseous site. The apparatus is comprised of an infusion tube coupled to an introducer with a release mechanism that removes the infusion tube once it has penetrated the bone a predetermined depth. As the introducer is withdrawn, the infusion tube remains in the bone. The ball release mechanism and other aspects of the apparatus can be modified to yield different penetration depths. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for locating the site of infusion and for relieving strain and stress on the infusion site. The template patch uses a key anatomical feature of the bone as a reference point to a target zone for infusion that is located a predetermined distance away from the feature.     The template patch has a tube clamp and a covering that protect the infusion site from external forces.
