Title: Adhesive transfer device
Inventor: NEUBURGER CARL D
IPC: C09J7/38
Filed: 1999-06-29
Granted: 2002-05-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive transfer device for selectively making a repositionably adherable substrate from a selected substrate. The device comprises a base substrate, a layer of pressure-sensitive repositionable adhesive disposed on the base substrate, a layer of pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive disposed adjacent to the repositionable adhesive layer opposite the base substrate, and structure providing a release surface. The release surface is removably engaged with the permanent adhesive layer opposite the repositionable adhesive layer and the base substrate so as to cover the permanent adhesive layer. The nature of the release surface is such that the base substrate and the structure providing the release surface can be moved apart from one another so as to separate the release surface from the permanent adhesive layer and leave both of the adhesive layers on the base substrate with the permanent adhesive layer exposed, thereby enabling the selected substrate to be adhesively bonded to the exposed permanent adhesive layer. The adhesive layers are provided such that, after the selected substrate has been adhesively bonded to the permanent adhesive layer, the base substrate and the selected substrate can be moved apart from one another so as to separate the base substrate from the repositionable adhesive layer and leaving both the adhesive layers on the selected substrate with the repositionable adhesive layer exposed, thereby allowing the selected substrate to be repositionably adhered to a contact surface by engaging the exposed repositionable adhesive layer with the contact surface. A number of various devices embodying the principles of the present invention are disclosed in the present application, including a tablet having a plurality of adhesive transfer sheets, an adhesive transfer cartridge for use with an adhesive transfer apparatus, and a dispenser for dispensing a length of the base substrate.

Abstract: There is provided a method for transferring novel genetic materials into maize. The method for deriving these new genes is via wide cross hybrid plants produced by crossing two wild relatives of maize, Eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum) and perennial teosinte (Zea diploperennis). This invention thus relates to the novel genetic materials in hybrid seed, the hybrid plant produced by the seed and/or tissue culture, variants, mutants, modifications, and cellular and molecular components of Tripsacum-perennial teosinte hybrids, and the hybrid seed, the hybrid plant produced by the seed and/or tissue culture, variants, mutants, modifications, and cellular and molecular components of (maize X Tripsacum-perennial teosinte) and/or (Tripsacum-perennial teosinte X maize). In particular this invention is directed to the ability to transfer de novo nucleotide sequences and novel alleles from Tripsacum to maize for use in genetic analyses and selection of novel genotypes with enhanced agronomic traits such as insect and disease resistance, drought tolerance, cold tolerance, tolerance to water-logging, apomixis, totipotency, perennialism, as well as adaptation to adverse soil conditions and a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere via (maize X Tripsacum-perennial teosinte) hybrids in corn improvement programs.
