Abstract: The present invention provides a resilient, fluid-pervious, laminate, plastic web suitable for use as a topsheet on absorbent articles, especially catamenial articles. The web includes a first layer of polymeric material, a second layer of polymeric material and an intermediate layer of fibrous material. The fibrous material of the intermediate layer extends below the second surface of the web, preferably into the absorbent core. In-use, fluid deposited on the topsheet drains or empties more readily as the fibrous material of the intermediate layer breaks up the fluid meniscuses which form along the second surface of the web, thereby providing improved dryness and cleanliness for the user.

Abstract: Microscopic photodiode devices with semi-transparent surface electrodes are combined with a liquid or other suitable vehicle. Together they are injected into the subretinal space of the eye. The purpose of these microphotodiode photovoltaic devices is to transduce incident light into electric current which stimulate the overlying cellular layers of the retina. In persons suffering from visual dysfunction due to outer retinal layer damage, such devices may allow useful formed artificial vision. These independent surface electrode microphotodiodes (ISEMCPs) may be in the shape of micro-spheres, micro-cylinders or other micro-shapes. An off-center embedded ferromagnetic layer will confer magnetic susceptibility to the ISEMCPs. A magnetic field applied in the vicinity of the eye will align the ISEMCPs within the subretinal space directing their photoactive surface toward incident light. Alternatively ISEMCPs may be embedded, prealigned, in a transparent flexible sheet permeable to nutrients and oxygen before implantation into the subretinal space. Such a sheet will allow passage of biological nutrients and oxygen around the ISEMCPs. This sheet may also dissolve leaving behind ISEMCP units lying separately, or in an arranged pattern produced by a surrounding mesh. ISEMCPs may be of the PiN or NiP type or a combination of both in a single unit. An electric capacitor layer may also be incorporated into the ISEMCP device (ISEMCP-C) to allow charge storage during exposure to light and charge release in darkness producing an opposite polarity current. This last modification will allow the generation of hyperpolarizing currents in light and depolarizing currents in darkness which is necessary to produce formed vision of light and dark images.

Abstract: Multi-layered tissue paper webs comprising biodegradable chemical softener compositions and binder materials are disclosed. The multi-layered tissue webs are useful in the manufacture of soft, absorbent paper products such as facial tissues and/or toilet tissues. The multi-layered tissue paper products contain a biodegradable chemical softening composition, preferably comprising a mixture of an ester-functional quaternary ammonium compound and a polyhydroxy compound. Preferred ester-functional quaternary ammonium compounds include diester dialkyl dimethyl ammonium salts such as diester di(touch hardened)tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride, diester di(hydrogenated)tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride. Preferred polyhydroxy compounds are selected from the group consisting of glycerol, sorbitols, polyglycerols having a weight average molecular weight of from about 150 to about 800, polyoxyethylene glycols and polyoxypropylene glycols having a weight average molecular weight from about 200 to 4,000. The multi-layered tissue paper webs also contain an effective amount of binder materials to control linting and/or to offset the loss in tensile strength, if any, resulting from the use of the chemical softening compositions. The binder materials are selected from the various wet and dry strength additives, and retention aids used in the paper making art. Preferably, the majority of the biodegradable chemical softening compositions will be disposed on the outer layers of the multi-layered tissue paper products where they are most effective. The binder materials are typically dispersed throughout the multi-layered product to control linting. In other words, the chemical softening compositions and the binder materials can be selectively distributed within the multi-layered tissue paper web to enhance the softness, absorbency, and/or lint resistance of a particular layer or ply.

Abstract: A drying apparatus for a strip of material or web, including a conditioning zone (3) immediately following but fully integrated with the dryer (6), to lower the bulk temperature of the web. The web of material can be introduced to conditioned air which is substantially free of contaminants being evolved from the coating on the web. The temperature of the conditioned air is low enough to absorb heat from the web, effectively lowering the solvent evaporation rate, and can be controlled such that it is greater than the dew point of the contaminants being evolved from the web, thereby mitigating condensation that normally forms and visible vapours that form outside of the dryer enclosure (6). Pressure control is provided in the conditioning zone (3) so that solvent vapours will not escape and so that ambient make-up air can be regulated as required. Gas sealing between the conditioning zone (3) and the dryer (6) prevents hot, solvent vapour laden air from the dryer from escaping into the conditioning zone (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Thin layers forming an active colouring electrode in an electrochromic cell, in particular in electrochromic glass for use in buildings and vehicles, are produced by vacuum evaporation of metal oxides in an apparatus in which the flow of the vapour to the substrate to be coated follows a path that avoids any direct contact with the electrical resistances providing the heat required for evaporation, so as to obtain said thin layers in a stoichiometric composition with respect to the ideal formula of the evaporated oxide; this gives the highest colouring efficiency in the cell (Figure 1). <IMAGE>
