Abstract: A lighting fixture which includes, in combination, a housing for a fluorescent lamp, and a lighting track for supporting a track fixture. The track is attached to and supported by the housing of the fluorescent fixture and extends along a sidewall of the housing to present an appearance which is aesthetically pleasing. Optionally, two lighting tracks may be used, one extending along each of opposed sidewalls of the housing. The invention provides the option of using track lighting, including spotlighting, which may be oriented and directed to augment and to enhance more general illumination provided by the fluorescent lamps. The fluorescent lamp and the incandescent track light are fed by a single power supply.

Abstract: A heterogeneous, pressure-sensitive, electrically conductive adhesive for disposable biomedical electrodes. The adhesive consists of two phases: a viscoelastic polymeric adhesive phase and an electrically conductive aqueous phase containing a water receptive polymer, a humectant, and an electrolyte. Both phases are intimately interdispersed and the adhesive is applied as a relatively thin film on a supporting substrate. The adhesive is characterized in that it establishes a physical equilibrium with the ambient system so that varying concentrations of moisture in the atmosphere are accommodated and tolerated by the adhesive without loss of viscoelastic and adhesion capabilities and without impairment of electrical conductivity values even under conditions of both high and of low relative humidity.
