Abstract: An immobilized enzyme fiber contactor includes a plurality of fibers disposed within a hollow conduit. The fibers have an enzyme selected from an oxidoreductase, a transferase, a hydrolase, a lyases, an isomerase, or a ligase attached thereto. The enzymes can be attached to the fibers via an anchor group and, optionally, a bifunctional crosslinker. The enzymes can be applied, stripped, and reapplied without disassembling the reactor or discarding the fibers. The immobilized enzyme fiber contractor can be used to conduct two-phase or single-phase enzymatic reactions.

Abstract: An extended school stop sign, which may but need not be retrofitable, and barrier is mounted on a conventional school bus stop sign and extends further into the adjacent lane to reduce instances in which motorists pass a stopped school bus. A first frame is permanently secured to conventional stop sign mechanism. A second breakaway frame or arm is attachable to and detachable from the first frame, and extends beyond the conventional stop sign. If a vehicle strikes the second frame, it separates without significantly damaging the conventional stop sign mechanism. The extension arm can be moved between a retracted and extended position by the same mechanism that opens and closes the conventional stop sign, or with a new mechanism entirely.

Abstract: A method of producing paperboard and cartons made therefrom is described incorporating a waterproof or water resistant coating applied to the interior of the carton except for areas intended for gluing. A coating material is applied to the surface of an applicator roll, and a portion of the coating material is then removed from the roll. Contact between a paperboard web and the roll transfers coating material to the web, creating a coated surface except for an uncoated stripe. A carton may be formed from the coated web with the uncoated portion of the carton cut from the uncoated strip.
