Abstract: An implant for the treatment of the pain of arthritis which comprises a carbon fiber which has a discontinuous coating of gold thereon, exposing the carbon in patches. The carbon and gold form a galvanic couple which is implanted in an arthritic joint and in the presence of body fluids acts like a battery and released gold ions continuously, thus relieving pain.

Abstract: An endodontic post made of metal base has as its surface layer, an implantation of ions of a dissimilar metal, or a gas. The ion-implanted layer may be co-extensive with the entire subjacent endodontic post, or may cover selected areas for variegated functionality. Long-term secondary decay is delayed, by this endodontic post.

Abstract: Raised Xerographic printing is produced by the use of thermally intumesced electroscopic powders for the development of electrophotographic images. Intumescent electroscopic powders are belended with the powdered pigmented "ink" or "Toner" in the ink reservoir of a Xerographic copying machine. The image is formed and transferred to a paper carrier in the well-known process of Carlson, U.S. Pat. No. 2,297,691. The heat used in thermoadhesively attaching the "Toner" to the paper carrier also causes great intumescence of the intumescent powder, resulting in a raised image. The image is similar in appearance and texture to "engraving" or raised thermographic printing. It can be read by the sightless by tactile recognition. The intumescent powder used is made of vinylidene-chloride-acrylonitrile-isobutane as described by the inventor in his Disclosure Document No. 001078 filed in the U.S. Patent Office on Dec. 22, 1969.

Abstract: A root canal implant is proximity indicative by reason of its electrical conductivity and comprises carbon fibers. Method of implantation is by means of endogenous heating within the prepared dental cavity, of the implant, and is the preferred method.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a dry transfer imaging technique comprising electrophotographic deposition of an image onto the rear side of a carrier sheet, said carrier sheet being further characterized by being abhesive to the image deposited thereupon; contacting said image-bearing rear side of said carrier sheet with an exterior surface and applying pressure to the front side of said carrier sheet, whereby transfer of said image to said exterior surface is effectuated.The carrier sheets which are abhesive to the deposited image form a part of the invention. In addition, novel colorless toners have been developed which, when deposited upon the image-bearing carrier sheet, enhance the adherability of said image to the exterior surface.

Abstract: A poromeric sheet material is provided with deporomerized areas selectively disposed at points where better mechanical strength is desired and where in addition better hydrostatic resistance is desired. Better mechanical strength means better abrasion resistance, better puncture resistance, better flex life. Better hydrostatic resistance means resistance to wetting-through, resistance to bibulousness, resistance to the passage of water-borne soiling agents. The deporomerized areas of the poromeric sheet material preferably are disposed in the areas where, for instance, a shoe upper made from the material is joined to the shoe sole, where the greatest flex-life is desired and where the greater waterproofness is desired. Other poromeric articles such as wearing apparel, upholstery and the like may be similarly provided with deporomerized areas selectively disposed in areas where better mechanical properties and better waterproofness may be desired.

Abstract: Poromeric plastic coated fabrics containing embedded therein microspheres disposed in natural or synthetic clustered domains each constituted by a matrix insoluble in the coating composition, the clustered domains adjacent to one another but spatially separated horizontally and vertically to provide substantially uniform microporosity throughout the coating.
