Abstract: A laminate using a polymeric molded article as a substrate and having a light transparency, gas barrier properties and an excellent alkali resistance is obtainable by carrying out a surface treatment to deposit an oxide of at least one metal selected from the metal elements of groups 2, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the periodic table, and then forming a gas barrier layer such as oxides of silicon, nitrides of silicon and carbides of silicon on the treated surface. The gas barrier layer is not peeled off from the polymeric molded article even after immersion in an alkali solution of pH 12 or more. The amount of the metal on the treated surface is preferably in the range of 5 x 10 14  atoms/cm 2  to 3 x 10 16  atoms/cm 2  in terms of the metal atoms per unit area. The practical performance of the laminate is not deteriorated during the patterning, by alkali etching, of a transparent conductive layer formed on the laminate.

IPC: G01N33/66
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: A reagent test strip is adapted for use in a blood glucose meter. A sample of whole blood is applied to one surface of a matrix on the strip and the meter measures the reflectance of the opposite surface of the matrix at about 635 nm and 700 nm and calculates from the reflectances the concentration of glucose in the sample. The portion of the applied sample that penetrates the matrix and is visible from the testing surface does not absorb to any appreciable extent at 700 nm. Nevertheless, the glucose-containing sample interacts with the components of the reagent-containing matrix to cause a change in reflectance at 700 nm that simulates the effect of the blood color. As a result, the strip can be used in meters that measure glucose concentration in whole blood samples in the presence of optically visible hemoglobin.

Abstract: The present invention provides a head of a drum or similar kind of musical
instrument preferably comprising a synthetic plastic sheet material, which contains
a surface with variegated color shadings to give the texture and appearance of a
natural animal skin. The improved head also produces a more resonant and full
sound with more overtones. The present invention also provides a method of
manufacture of the improved drumhead. Fine sanding generally produces minor
surface scratches, while a more intense sanding will produce deeper scoring or
gouges in the surface of the head. A coating of resin is applied to the surface and
collects in a concentrated manner within the scratched and gouged areas. Resin
collects in the gouged areas, where the shading is relatively dark, and in the
scratches, where the shading is lighter.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système de commande, ainsi qu'au procédé correspondant, qui permet de surveiller et de réguler la stoechiométrie d'un brûleur à air secondaire d'un dispositif de thermooxydation. Le système de commande du brûleur maintient une stoechiométrie donnée, indépendante des changements simultanés possibles du débit du mélange gazeux et/ou de la concentration des impuretés combustibles dans le gaz utilisé. Le taux de combustion du brûleur est ajusté par un organe de commande. En outre, le flux du carburant du brûleur et celui du mélange gazeux utilisé sont mesurés et transformés en des signaux distincts. Les deux signaux sont transmis à un appareil d'évaluation qui compare ces signaux et génère un troisième signal en fonction de cette comparaison. Ce troisième signal est transmis à un dispositif qui modifie la résistance au flux du mélange gazeux, et de ce fait la quantité désirée de mélange gazeux se trouve déviée en vue de la combustion du carburant.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of scheduling jobs to be executed by a resource
in a computer system wherein the jobs are grouped in classes, with the job
classes vying for the resource's attention being arranged in a hierarchy.
Each job class has a time-function value that controls when the job class
is selected by the resource if processing time becomes available. Within
a particular level of the hierarchy, scheduling priorities are defined by
one or more time-based functions, each of which may be constant or
dynamically varying. When constant time-based functions are used, each job
class has a schedule value that remains fixed with time. When dynamic
time-based functions are used, job class "time-function values" are modified
to alter the timing by which the job class(es) acquire the resource.
