Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a coverlayer of optical information storage media is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a rotating platform, a rotating plate and a UV irradiation system. A substrate is disposed on the rotating platform and a radiation setting resin material is disposed on a surface of the substrate. The rotating plate is moved towards the rotating platform to compress the radiation-setting resin material against the substrate. The resulting structure is rotated by rotating the rotating platform. A thin radiation-setting resin layer with a uniform thickness is formed on the substrate. The radiation-setting resin layer is illuminated by a UV light to harden the radiation-setting resin layer. Next, the rotating plate is separated from the radiation-setting resin layer while the radiation-setting resin layer remains adhered to the substrate. The hardened radiation-setting resin layer serves as a coverlayer of the optical information storage media.

Abstract: This invention relates to three enzymes, their isolation from the viscera of bivalves, e.g. the surf clam or cherrystone clam, their characterization and uses. The first two are carboxyl proteinases having molecular weights of about 77,200 and about 36,700 and display activity similar to mammalian D-cathepins. The third is a thiol proteinase having a molecular weight of about 17,400 and displays activity similar to mammalian B-cathepins. In addition to attaching various substrates, the enzymes coagulate cheese milk and tenderize meat.
