Abstract: Activated carbon is bonded to a thermally conductive solid support as a porous sorbent body by forming a carbon slip containing activated carbon particles and a low-temperature-curing binder in an oil-in-water emulsion, and curing the carbon slip in place against the solid support. Furthermore, a microporous monolithic carbonaceous body of fused or otherwise bonded activated carbon particles, which can consists strictly of activated carbon or of a mass of activated carbon particles bonded to a shaped open lattice-type or finned substrate structure, is bonded to a surface of a substrate which is generally complementary in contour to the carbonaceous body by applying a liquid-form heat-curable binder formulation to the contact surfaces. The binder formulation contains an inert liquid carrier or solvent.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Brachycome plant named `Compact Amethyst`, characterized by its compact and outwardly spreading growth habit; very freely branching plant habit, plants do not require pinching; large number of inflorescences that are about 1.8 cm in diameter, with dark lavender ray florets; long peduncles that hold inflorescences above or beyond the foliage; and good weather tolerance.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Brachycome plant named `City Lights`, characterized by its compact and outwardly spreading growth habit; very freely branching plant habit, plants do not require pinching; numerous and showy inflorescences with lavender ray florets that are about 2.5 cm in diameter; and long peduncles that hold inflorescences above or beyond the foliage.
