Abstract: A method of forming a polymer-reinforced paper which includes preparing an aqueous suspension of fibers, at least about 50 percent, by dry weight, of which are cellulosic fibers; distributing the suspension on a forming wire; removing water from the distributed suspension to form a paper; and treating the paper thus formed with a polymer-reinforcing medium which contains a bulking agent to give the polymer-reinforced paper. The treatment of the paper is adapted to provide in the polymer-reinforced paper from about 15 to about 70 percent, by weight, of bulking agent, based on the dry weight of the cellulosic fibers in the paper. Alternatively, the bulking agent can be added to a polymer-reinforced paper after it has been formed. In certain embodiments, the bulking agent is a polyhydric alcohol. In other embodiments, the bulking agent is a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight in the range of from about 100 to about 1,500. The polymer-reinforced paper has improved cross-direction tear when tested with an Elmendorf Tear Tester in accordance with TAPPI Method T414, particularly when the paper has a moisture content no greater than about 5 percent by weight. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Light arrays for use in systems for separating and irradiating blood are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, the light array has one or more bulbs with electrical connecting leads and first and second support members connected to the bulbs. The second support member preferably includes a connector for receiving the electrical leads. The support members preferably define an end surface and an interior surface, wherein the support members are disposed adjacent the bulbs so the end surfaces are opposed to define a channel, providing a space where tubing carrying blood or other fluids can be disposed without interfering with the array. The bulbs are most preferably attached to the support members using flexible self-locking straps, and in embodiments using two or more bulbs, the bulbs are also preferably held together by one or more straps. Improved mounting systems for connecting the array to the instrument by one or more spring mounts are also disclosed. In certain preferred embodiments, one of the support members is a circuit board and includes a microcircuit for controlling the operation of the array using a clock/timer circuit for determining a total time of activation for the array, whereby upon reaching a predetermined value of the total time of activation, the clock/timer circuit disables the light array. Thus, methods of controlling the output of an array of bulbs are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention includes transformed plants having at least one cell transformed with a modified ETR nucleic acid. Such plants have a phenotype characterized by a decrease in the response of at least one transformed plant cell to ethylene as compared to a plant not containing the transformed plant cell. Tissue and/or temporal specificity for expression of the modified ETR nucleic acid is controlled by selecting appropriate expression regulation sequences to target the location and/or time of expression of the transformed nucleic acid. The plants are made by transforming at least one plant cell with an appropriate modified ETR nucleic acid, regenerating plants from one or more of the transformed plant cells and selecting at least one plant having the desired phenotype.

The cover element is formed with an aperture (17) surrounded by a depression (18) and a single or multi-layer porous support membrane (9) located within the cavity so as to be accessible through the aperture. A body of fluid-absorbent material (14) is also located within the cavity in contact with the porous support. The fluid-absorbent material (14) is formed at least partly from fibers of a kind which absorb fluid into the fiber itself, so as to cause the fiber to swell and increase in volume. Appropriate reactants are applied to the porous support (9) so that when a sample to be tested is applied to the support through the aperture (17) the result of any reaction can be observed. Samples or reactants in the form of fluids pass through the porous support and are absorbed by the underlying body (14) of fluid-absorbent material. The composition and arrangement of the fluid-absorbent material may be varied to control the flow of fluid into and through the material. A rubber panel may be located adjacent the fluid-absorbent material to vary the fluid flow rate. A neutralizing agent (23) may be located in the cavity to neutralize fluids used in the test.

Abstract: A method and a device for detecting a position of a graduation support relative to a support of the device in a direction of displacement of the graduation support and the support relative to each other. The device has a light source. The support has a high resolution graduation consisting of a sequence or array of optical elements focusing the light beam sensing plane on a support on which light-sensitive sensing elements are arranged so that the displacement of the graduation support in relation to the sensing plane can be assessed with precision. The light flux is modified by the graduation and intercepts at least the entire width of an optical element such that the light energy is converted into an alternating signal representing the position of the graduation support in relation to the support. The device is suitable for producing high resolution sensors with simple elements which are easy to manufacture.

Abstract: A P-channel MOS memory cell has P+ source (14) and drain (16) regions formed in an N-well (18). A thin tunnel oxide (24) is provided between the well surface and an overlying floating gate (22). In one embodiment, the thin tunnel oxide (24) extends over a substantial portion of the active region (12) of the device. An overlying control gate (26) is insulated from the floating gate (22) by an insulating layer (28). The device is programmed via hot electron injection from the drain end of the channel region (12) to the floating gate (22), without avalanche breakdown, which allows the cell to be bit-selectable during programming. Erasing is accomplished by electron tunneling from the floating gate (22) to the N-well (18) with the source (14), drain (16), and N-well (18) regions equally biased. Since there is no high drain/well junction bias voltage, the channel length of the cell may be reduced without incurring and destructive junction stress.
