  • Patent number: 5126111
    Abstract: A method of removing, reducing or detoxifying organic pollutants from a fluid, water or air, by contacting the fluid with a photoreactive metal semiconductor material in the presence of ultraviolet light of a wavelength to activate the photoreactive material, is improved by simultaneously contacting the photoreactive material with a substance that accepts electrons and thus inhibits hole-electron recombination. Such substance will be such as to readily accept electrons either from the conduction band or from superoxide ions, and to rapidly dissociate into harmless products.

  • Patent number: 4519553
    Abstract: Winding apparatus for continuously winding tape media upon reels contained within closed cartridges. The winding apparatus includes means for supplying cartridges alternatively to three separate in-line winding channels all of which perform a winding function and then collecting the wound cartridges off the individual lines and presenting an output station for a subsequent packing operation. Each channel includes vacuum extension means for reaching through an opening in each cartridge to apply an adhesive patch to the hub of the reel contained within the cartridge. Each line also includes means for continuously supplying tape media to a wind station for winding upon the reels passing through that line. At the wind station, additional vacuum means bring the leading edge of the media into the cartridge and press it against the adhesive patch, thereby attaching the media to the reel.
