  • MAIZE STRESS RELATED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 18 AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20160024513
    Abstract: A truncated stress-responsive transcription factor can be overexpressed without causing unfavorable pleiotropic effects. The truncation may result in deletion of a nuclear localization signal. The truncation may result in deletion of one or more regulatory motifs. The truncated transcription factor may be expressed under the control of a constitutive or tissue-preferred promoter. The transcription factor may be from maize.

  • Inkjet recording medium
    Patent number: 7790250
    Abstract: The invention provides an inkjet recording medium, comprising a support and an ink receiving layer supported on the support. The ink receiving layer comprising a porous hydrophilic polymer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2010
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company

  • Method of making a material
    Patent number: 7211294
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of making a material. The method comprises the step of coating a support with a solution comprising a hydrophilic polymer and a blowing agent. Either prior to or after the step of coating the support, the solution is interacted with in some way e.g. heated, to cause the blowing agent to generate gas bubbles within the solution, causing foaming of the hydrophilic polymer.
    Type: Grant

  • Foamed material and a method of making a foamed material
    Publication number: 20060270745
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of making a material, said method comprising generating a foamed hydrophilic polymer solution, especially of a gelatin or derivative thereof, and treating said foamed hydrophilic polymer solution with sufficient energy and for a sufficiently short time that a polymer foam having an open-cell structure is formed. The invention also provides a material comprising a support and an ink receiving layer supported on the support, the ink receiving layer comprising porous hydrophilic polymer, especially gelatin, and is formed by coating a solution of foamed hydrophilic polymer, especially gelatin, onto a support substrate and drying the coated substrate for a time period selected to be short enough such that an open-cell foam is formed.
