Abstract: The invention is a room-temperature dry process for texturing copper on polyester, to improve adhesion of coatings to the copper surface through mechanical as well as chemical bonding. An iodine plasma is produced by backfilling an evacuated chamber with iodine and applying an RF potential. The iodine plasma includes both positive and negative iodine ions. Unprotected surface areas of the copper form a copper iodide; when the copper iodide is removed, the remaining surface is highly textured. The associated polyester is not damaged. The copper iodide is conveniently removed by a 10% hydrochloric acid solution which has no damaging effects on the associated polyester or on the metallic copper, or on associated polyester in a plastic laminated with copper.

Abstract: A medication directing aid for use with drop or jelly medication dispensing containers in self-administering medication to medication sites in or near the patient's eye. The medication dispensing container is clamped to the medication directing aid to form a single unit for dispensing the medication and for providing precision direction to the dispenser tip. The medication directing aid comprises a mirror surface and a clamp, integral to a carrier and juxtaposed at an angle of approximately 135 degrees. When assembled the medication directing aid and the medication dispensing container together form a medication dispensing-viewing unit which may be positioned and operated with one hand and one eye.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for vehicular applications, yielding wide-angle viewing, which is simple, inexpensive, easily installable, easily adjustable and of low distortion. The mirror assembly comprises a mirror, four adhesive backed clamps, and a set of standoff axles. The mirror is positioned and held by the set of standoff axles, which are held to the mirror by two of the clamps and to the windscreen by two of the clamps, the mirror and windscreen providing strength and support to the mirror assembly in such fashion that the mirror is adjustable by rotation on the standoff axles while remaining stably positioned in the vehicle.
