Abstract: A dry transfer article comprising an adhesive layer, a graphic pattern contained thereon, an actinic radiation-transmissive, ink-receptive layer between the adhesive layer and the graphic layer, and an application tape over the graphic pattern. The adhesive layer comprises an actinic radiation-responsive composition. Exposure of the article to actinic radiation selectively differentiates the adhesive potential between those portions of the adhesive layer underlying the graphic pattern and the exposed portions of the adhesive layer. After application of the article to a substrate, removal of the application tape causes selective removal of unwanted areas leaving desired graphic pattern on the substrate, i.e., the transfer article if self-weeding.

Abstract: A disposable blister-type package for containing a small quantity of liquid material such as nail enamel including a volatile solvent, constituted of a thermoformed tray defining a liquid-holding cavity with a surrounding rim and a lid covering the cavity and secured to the rim, wherein at least the facing surface portions of the tray and lid are formed of acrylonitrile methylacrylate copolymer. The facing methylacrylate surfaces of the lid and tray are directly bonded together around the cavity to form a leakproof seal that is readily peelable. The seal region of the lid surface is embossed, during the sealing operation, with a pattern of serrations to facilitate peeling. A disposable applicator for the liquid may be enclosed, and similarly sealed, within a second tray cavity also covered by the lid and isolated by the seal from the liquid-holding cavity.

Abstract: Compositions of matter and method of use of compositions consisting essentially of a mixture, in effective amounts, of (a) a terpene or mixtures thereof, and (b) vitamin E. These compositions are used for treatment of cuts, burns and abrasions of the skin in mammals, particularly humans, to facilitate healing and reduce swelling, bleeding and pain, by applying the mixture to the affected external area of the skin, as by swabbing with an applicator. Alternatively, the treatment mixture can be pressurized by means of a carrier, such as ethylene chloride, for application by spraying.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transfer paper for imparting stereographic pattern produced by transferring the specified pattern printed on a synthetic sheet to a release layer surface of a release paper formed of a base member and the aforementioned release layer provided on the surface thereof and a manufacturing method of the transfer paper characterized in that a releasable thermoplastic resin is extruded between the base material and the sheet on which the specified pattern has been printed, thereby transferring the pattern on the aforementioned printed sheet to the surface of the aforementioned thermoplastic resin, followed by cooling, and then, said printed sheet is peeled off and separated from the surface of said thermoplastic resin. Thus this invention makes it possible to provide at low price and with ease a transfer paper for imparting stereographic perspective patterns having various grades of lusters and tones in combination.

Abstract: A heat conductive circuit board includes an insulating layer provided on a metal substrate, and an electrically conductive metal foil formed on the insulating layer, and the insulating layer is formed by impregnating an alumina paper with organic polymer. The alumina paper is made by subjecting a material containing alumina fiber as the principal components to a paper-making process. The insulating layer has excellent properties of heat transfer not only in the thickness direction but also in the surface direction, and thus, the heat conductive circuit board is excellent in heat dissipation properties.

Abstract: A preferably low dielectric constant polymeric bonding layer is applied or bonded (i.e., laminated or coated) to at least one side of a preferably low dielectric constant polymeric delay line substrate. Preferably, the melting or softening point of the bonding film is lower than the melting or softening point of the substrate so that the application (e.g. lamination) step is carried out at a temperature which is above the softening point of the bonding film, but below the softening point of the substrate (thereby insuring the integrity of the delay line circuit). Thereafter, the delay line/bonding layer assembly is rolled up and head sealed so as to melt the bonding layer, thus heat sealing the delay line package. As the package heats up (in, for example, a tightly fitting die), the materials expand and provide sufficient pressure to bond the circuit together.

Abstract: A coating useful for a solar cell is formed by concurrent deposition of two materials, such as silicon dioxide and magnesium fluoride, on a substrate within a single vacuum chamber. The deposition is monitored to enable control of the ratio of the materials and the thickness of the coating. An alternative embodiment of a coating employs alternating layers of different materials which form pairs or periods, each having a very small optical thickness. By virtue of the coatings, emissivity is enhanced by suppression of the reststrahlen reflectance and solar absorption is reduced by external reflection of the ultraviolet portion of the solar spectrum.

Abstract: A heat recoverable article comprises a fabric cover (2) which has an aperture (4) therein around the edges of which is clamped a rivet (2), fixed so as to prevent pull-out of the fabric fibres on recovery of the cover. The article is particularly suitable for use as a pressurized splice case since a valve can be passed through the aperture in the cover. The valve can be secured directly to the cover, or to a correspondingly apertured liner positioned within the cover.

Abstract: A sheet material which can be firmly adhered to a surface, and yet readily removed thereform, without the necessity of pre-wetting and without damaging the surface is prepared by coating one side of a base sheet with an adhesive composition containing a tacky, pressure sensitive adhesive, a wax, water, and an emulsifier. The adherable, yet removable nature of the sheet material does not degrade, but instead is maintained, over time. The sheet material is suitable for use as wallpaper, shelving paper, posters, note pads, labels, and the like.

The optional ingredients are also non-uniformly distributed within the thin film.

Abstract: This relates to laminated preforms, the method of forming such preforms and products which may be beneficially formed utilizing such preforms. Most particularly, this relates to a preform which has formed as part of the injection molding thereof two layers of barrier material which are disposed within two layers of thermoplastic resin and having received therebetween a solid core of thermoplastic resin. The specific method of forming the preform permits the barrier material layers to be of a greatly reduced thickness as compared to such layer thicknesses permissible in the past, with the result that the barrier material layers in the blow molded articles are of a thickness recognized to be acceptable for the barrier function. The barrier material layers may be selectively terminated along the length of the preform so as to permit portions of the resultant blow molded article to be removed and reused. This abstract is not to be construed as limiting the claims of the application.
