Abstract: A stable .alpha.-type titanyl phthalocyanine composition including an .alpha.-type titanyl phthalocyanine and a metal-free phthalocyanine is disclosed having a wide range of absorption wavelengths and high in spectral sensitivity. The method for making the phthalocyanine composition is carried out by pigmenting a concentrated sulfuric acid solution containing at least titanyl phthalocyanine by an acid paste process. The concentrated sulfuric acid solution is poured into water to produce an .alpha.-type titanyl phthalocyanine composition which is stable to withstand the impact of aging. Also disclosed is an electrophotographic sensitive material which includes a sensitive layer having the .alpha.-type titanyl phthalocyanine composition superposed on an electroconductive substrate. This electrophotographic sensitive material excels in its charging property and its dark attenuation property and exhibits high sensitivity and low residual potential.
Abstract: Novel heterocyclic compounds, characterized in that they have formula (I) ##STR1## in which R represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl radical or a phenyl or substituted phenyl radical and R.sub.1 represents an alkyl radical or an aryl radical, and their physiologically acceptable salts.

Abstract: An improved laser markable material useful for encapsulation of electronic devices is obtained by adding TiO.sub.2 or TiO.sub.2 +CrO.sub.3 to common plastic encapsulants formed from a mixture of a resin+filler+carbon black+mold release agent. When irradiated by a laser, the originally grey material turns bright gold, providing a high contrast durable mark. The material has excellent marking contrast as well as better stability with time and temperature as compared to prior art laser markable encapsulants. Desirable concentrations, in weight percent of the compound, are 1-5% TiO.sub.2 and 0-3% CrO.sub.3, with 1-3% TiO.sub.2 and 0.5-2% CrO.sub.3 being preferred. Carbon black is optional but a concentration in the range 0.1-3% by weight is desirable with 0.5-1% preferred. Improved encapsulation and marking methods and improved devices using this material are described.
Abstract: A composition for disintegrating hair which comprises a hair-disintegrating amount of a mixture of a proteolytic enzyme and a disulfide reducing agent, and maintained at a pH that enhances hair denaturation, and a method for clearing pipe clogged with a hair-containing deposit are disclosed.
