Abstract: Self-developing photoresists are developed by exposing the substrate on which they are exposed to a light beam or other energy source which is absorbed by the substrate and which raises the substrate temperature to the thermal decomposition temperature of the overlying photoresist. This exposure may be done through the photoresist layer with a light beam having a frequency to which the photoresist is substantially transparent or may be done from the backside of the substrate using a light beam which is absorbed by the substrate itself if it is sufficiently thin, or by a thin layer disposed on a transparent substrate.

Abstract: A technique for fabricating a patterned conductor on the inner surface of a transparent tube comprises providing a source of conductive material inside a hollow tube and directing actinic radiation onto the tube wall where the deposition of a conductive pattern is desired to deposit conductive material thereon. That conductive deposit may be thickened by subsequent electroless or electroplating. The result is an improved magnetic resonance sensor comprising a hollow tube having "flat" conductor coils disposed on its interior surface.

Abstract: The fluorescent characteristics of a polymer material are modified by the addition of a fluorescent dye which is fluorescent in response to light in a particular portion of the spectrum to render it fluorescent in response to light in that particular portion of the spectrum.

Abstract: Selective electrolytic deposition is provided on a body having a conductive surface comprised of two different conductive materials in which one of the conductive materials forms a surface layer upon exposure to a particular ambient environment and wherein that surface layer prevents electroplating on that material in the particular electroplating environment utilized for the electroplating of the desired pattern on the other conductive material.
