  • Reduced indigo dye penetration
    Patent number: 5514187
    Abstract: Open end spun cotton yarns are ring dyed with a thickened dyebath to limit dye penetration to the outer circumference of the yarn leaving a substantial undyed core. Stonewashed indigo dyed denim fabrics and garments are prepared.

  • Synthesis of photolabile chelators for multivalent cations
    Patent number: 4981985
    Abstract: A method of synthesizing photolabile chelators as EDTA and EGTA derivatives to be used in caging multivalent cations is disclosed. The chelators chelate the cations forming non-biologically active compounds. The chelated compounds can then be localized in or near biological systems. Upon irradiation, the chelated compound cleaves with the subsequent cleaved remainders having a substantially lower affinity for the chelated cation. Large amounts of cation are thus rapidly released and the effect of such concentration jumps on the biological system can be accurately studied.
