Patent EP-0771670-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JOHNSON EDWARD JOHN
IPC: D21H17/07
Filed: 1996-10-31
Abstract: A mordanting substrate is provided including a porous substrate, and, distributed within the substrate, a mordanting agent. Preferably, the substrate is a fibrous cellulosic material, and the mordanting agent is a cationic polymer that is soluble in polar solvents, preferably water-soluble. The polar solvent solubility of the polymer, in combination with the porosity and cellulosic nature of the material, has been found to cause the mordanting agent, when imbibed into the substrate in the form of a solution, to bind to fibers within the substrate. This binding in turn allows excellent immobilization of dye within the substrate.

Inventor: SMITH GORDON J
IPC: G11B5/39
Filed: 1996-12-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reading an information signal from a magnetic storage medium (24) using a magnetoresistive (MR) element (72), modifying the signal such that a thermal component of the signal representing a thermal response of the MR element (72) is degraded, and altering the modified signal to produce a restored thermal signal substantially representative of the thermal component of the signal read from the storage medium (24). The information signal induced in the MR element (72) is communicated from the MR element (72) to an arm electronics (AE) module (74) having a highpass filtering behavior. The AE module passes content of the information signal other than the thermal component content, thereby degrading the thermal component of the information signal. An inverse filter (76,88), implemented using an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, receives the highpass filtered signal from the AE module (74) and produces a restored thermal signal substantially representative of the thermal component of the information signal. The inverse filter (76,88) has a response substantially inverse to that of the effective highpass filter of the AE module (74). A signal summing device (90) is coupled to the AE module (74) and the inverse filter (88) for receiving a restored thermal signal from the inverse filter (88) and a composite signal, including thermal and magnetic components, from the AE module (74) and substantially eliminates the thermal component of the composite signal, which otherwise distorts or modulates the composite signal.

Title: Hydroxyl ions as unique therapeutic agents and compounds that modulate ions, compounds
Inventor: CARRELL DELTON P
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 1996-06-04
Abstract: The invention concerns the discovery of the surprising and unexpected therapeutic effects of hydroxyl ions. The observed medicinalproperties of these ions are both novel and broad in scope. The acute corrosive effects and toxicity of hydroxyl ions on living tissue has previously overwhelmed their therapeutic attributes. Unique hydroxyl ion modulating compounds have been discovered and are within the scope of the invention. When used appropriately as companions with hydroxyl ions, these modulating compounds obviate and attenuate the harmful effects of hydroxyl ions, unmasking andrevealing their previously unknown and undemonstratable therapeutic properties. These hydroxyl ion modulating compounds do not significantly interfere with the surprising and unexpected therapeutic benefits of the hydroxyl ions. The novel hydroxyl ion modulating compounds are generally characterized as N,N-disubstituted-aminoalkanoate salts and substituted N,N-substituted-aminoalkanoate salts.
