Abstract: The present invention is directed to a recording medium for recording with a phase change ink. The medium comprises a substrate with a support layer and an adhesive layer coated thereon. The adhesive layer coated on said support layer at a coating weight of no more than 10 mg/dm2, comprises a blooming crosslinker and the adhesive layer is soluble in the phase change ink.

Abstract: A high resolution radiography system is presented utilizing a an intensifying screen incorporating a UV emitting phosphor. The photographic element exhibits enhanced sensitivity to the emission of the phosphor and further comprises at least one compound selected from the group comprising: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 =substituted or unsubstituted aromatic ring; R.sub.2 =H, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or substituted or unsubstituted aryl; R.sub.3 =an alkyl group, an aryl group, a COOR group wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or an alkali metal cation, HNR4+ wherein R.sub.4 is alkyl, substituted alkyl or alkyaryl.

Abstract: Superconducting compositions of the general formula A.sub.n Q.sub.m Cu.sub.3 O.sub.y are prepared by wet mixing a combination organic acid salts, inorganic acid salts and oxides of A, Q and Cu, wherein at least one salt is an organic acid salt, drying the mixed salts, and then heating the resultant mixed salts to a temperature between 500.degree. and 950.degree. C. The temperature is maintained for a time sufficient to form a substantially orthorhombic superconducting composition. The method achieves good results with only one heating step. The presence of at least one organic salt causes carbonate and nitrate salts of A, Q and Cu to convert to oxides at temperatures between 300.degree. and 400.degree. C. With lower processing temperatures, semiconductor materials and superconducting materials can be processed together.
