Abstract: A low temperature method of forming a circuit pattern on a plastic substrate which comprises applying a slurry of a vaporizable solvent, metal particles and a small quantity of binder in the shape of the circuit pattern desired to a removable layer, vaporizing the solvent, covering the powdered metal and binder with an adhesive to hold the powdered metal and carrier in place on the removable layer, laminating the hydrocarbon containing substrate with pressure and heat to cause compacting of said powder and bonding of said compacted powder to said substrate by adhesive layer, said heat being insufficient to destroy said adhesive, substrate and removable layer, and separation of the removable layer. A circuit pattern held on a removable layer by an adhesive overlying same is also disclosed.

Abstract: New chip carrier type devices have a substrate with a particle-loaded ink defining a plurality of distinct circuit paths. The circuit paths carry a conductive metal plating. The ink is designed with binder and adhesive means which are used to firmly attach the ink to the substrate which can be an organic resin.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for the analysis of a human subject's brain wave activity on a statistical basis using a digital computer. The location of portions of the subject's brain and the location of at least 32, and for example 265, external scalp sensors are digitally recorded and stored in computer memory. The subject receives a set of stimuli which evoke brain waves (evoked potential EP or evoked magnetic fields EF) which, along with the location data, are statistically analyzed to indicate the brain sites giving rise to the activity. The brain site activity, and the time interrelationships of brain waves as they progress between brain sites, are displayed on a three-dimensional model or other three-dimensional perspective display.

Abstract: Tomographic images are obtained at a plane of interest by taking a series of x-ray exposures, producing a series of multiple images therefrom, arranging these multiple images so that points residing within a desired plane of interest are coincident to form a first order clarified image, repeating the step for a predetermined number of other planes which are parallel to the first plane of interest, to produce a first order clarified image for each of these planes, and then producing a smeared image for each of such planes, except one, by replicating the first order image for said plane a predetermined number of times and shifting each of the replicated images in the plane as a function of the distance between that particular plane and the x-ray source, the distance between that particular plane and the x-ray image device, the same distances but taken relative to a plane of interest, and the distance moved between exposures by the x-ray source.

Abstract: A fluid applicator includes a fluid applicator roller engaged with a fluid dispersing roller. The fluid dispersing roller includes a pair of helical fluid dispersing troughs which receive fluid from an electric motor driven pump which is operated by a low voltage electric switch control located on a handle of the fluid applicator.

Abstract: A termination for a superconducting power transmission line is disclosed which is comprised of a standard air entrance insulated vertical bushing with an elbow, a horizontal cryogenic bushing linking the pressurized cryogenic cable environment to the ambient temperature bushing and a stress cone which terminates the cable outer shield and transforms the large radial voltage gradient in the cable dielectric into a much lower radial voltage gradient in the high density helium coolant at the cold end of the cryogenic bushing.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a printing cylinder for printing an element such as a paper web and feed and take-up rollers for the web. Sensors are provided for sensing the relative positioning of the web and the print which is applied to the web and the signals from the sensors are fed to a micro-processor. The micro-processor controls the feed and take up rollers so that if the relative positioning of the web is incorrect, the feed and take-up rollers are controlled simultaneously to move the web relative to the printing cylinder substantially without varying any tension in the web between the feed roller and the take-up roller.

Abstract: Carbonyl sulfide is removed from propylene by hydrolysis over a catalyst comprising platinum sulfide on alumina. Specifically, the propylene is passed through, successively, a C.sub.3 -splitter, a heater, the platinum sulfide catalyst bed, and a topping still where the resulting H.sub.2 S and CO.sub.2 are separated from the purified propylene.

Abstract: A device for supporting a hanging plant and for slowly rotating it to expose different sides to sunlight. The device comprises a cord for attachment at one end to a hook or other fixed object and for attachment at the opposite end to the plant. The cord extends in length and winds in one direction in response to an increase in the weight of the plant by feeding of water and contracts and winds slowly in an opposite direction as the water evaporates from the plant.

Abstract: In a method of removing carbonyl sulfide from propylene by hydrolysis over a catalyst comprising platinum sulfide on alumina, the improvement comprising regenerating the catalyst by contacting the catalyst with a solvent for polypropylene under conditions such that any polypropylene on the catalyst will be readily dissolved. Specifically, the propylene is passed through, successively, a C.sub.3 -splitter, a heater, the platinum sulfide catalyst bed, and a topping still where resulting H.sub.2 S and CO.sub.2 are separated from the purified propylene. A preferred solvent is liquid propylene.

Abstract: A fluid applicator includes a fluid applicator roller engaged with a fluid dispersing roller. The fluid dispersing roller includes a pair of helical fluid dispersing troughs which receive fluid from a pump which is operated by a control located on a handle of the fluid applicator.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the reactive plating of substrates to produce transparent conducting films and photoactive coatings. Reactive gases at low pressures are introduced into a vacuum chamber having a partial vacuum therein. A substrate located in the vacuum chamber is subjected to a glow discharge in the partial vacuum. A coating material, such as zinc or silicon is vaporized in the vacuum chamber to react with the gases, with the resulting compound being deposited on the substrate by the effect of the glow discharge. The power in the glow discharge and the partial pressures of the vaporized coating material and gases introduced into the vacuum chamber can all be controlled separately to vary the stoichiometric ratios and the properties of the coatings. The electrode geometry is arranged and the operation maintained such that the power density distribution in the discharge is fixed and controlled.

Abstract: A filter testing device is disclosed wherein the ends of a filter element is clamped between resilient seals in a filter holder member. A dioctyl phthalate smoke generator generates smoke which is passed through the filter element. An annular sampler which is mounted between the top member and base member of the filter holder member is moved vertically along the axial length of the filter. The annular sampler has an annular cavity therein with a plurality of radial holes extending from the inner diameter to the annular cavity. A vacuum pump draws the sample from the annular cavity in the annular sampler into a forward light scattering particulate detector device wherein the quantity of smoke is measured on a meter.

Abstract: Semi-insulating granular bed material in a spout inlet region of a spouted bed vessel between a draft tube and a portion of the vessel base section adjacent a fluid inlet is aligned along the force lines of an imposed localized electric field to thereby afford improved control over spout inlet conditions which affect processes carried out in the spouted bed device.

Abstract: Variable control is achieved over processes involving the spouting of magnetizable granular material in a draft tube-equipped spouted bed device through the application of a localized magnetic field in a spout inlet region of the device between an inlet of the draft tube and a portion of the device interior surface adjacent an associated fluid inlet.
