Raised Xerographic printing is produced by the use of thermally intumesced electroscopic powders for the development of electrophotographic images. Intumescent electroscopic powders are belended with the powdered pigmented "ink" or "Toner" in the ink reservoir of a Xerographic copying machine. The image is formed and transferred to a paper carrier in the well-known process of Carlson, U.S. Pat. No. 2,297,691. The heat used in thermoadhesively attaching the "Toner" to the paper carrier also cause...

An implant for the treatment of the pain of arthritis which comprises a carbon fiber which has a discontinuous coating of gold thereon, exposing the carbon in patches. The carbon and gold form a galvanic couple which is implanted in an arthritic joint and in the presence of body fluids acts like a battery and released gold ions continuously, thus relieving pain.

An endodontic post made of metal base has as its surface layer, an implantation of ions of a dissimilar metal, or a gas. The ion-implanted layer may be co-extensive with the entire subjacent endodontic post, or may cover selected areas for variegated functionality. Long-term secondary decay is delayed, by this endodontic post.

A poromeric sheet material is provided with deporomerized areas selectively disposed at points where better mechanical strength is desired and where in addition better hydrostatic resistance is desired. Better mechanical strength means better abrasion resistance, better puncture resistance, better flex life. Better hydrostatic resistance means resistance to wetting-through, resistance to bibulousness, resistance to the passage of water-borne soiling agents. The deporomerized areas of the poromer...

A disposable diaper is provided with semielastic strip fasteners having a freely extensible elastic central segment and two nonextensible inelastic terminal segments, which fasteners serve to bond together strongly the front and rear panels of the diaper when the diaper is worn and provide comfortable elastic extensible side waistbands.

A surgical blade package having improved puncture resistance and a simplified three-ply wall structure comprises two superimposed walls, each of which is formed of an outer layer of foil material and an inner layer of a protective padding secured thereon by an intermediate adhesive stratum. The three-ply walls are sealed together adjacent or along their edges to define therewithin a compartment containing a surgical blade.

The present invention shows how to make poromeric polymeric products by leaching out water-soluble electrolytes from a polymeric material with the help of galvanic or electrolytic current.

Poromeric plastic coated fabrics containing embedded therein microspheres disposed in natural or synthetic clustered domains each constituted by a matrix insoluble in the coating composition, the clustered domains adjacent to one another but spatially separated horizontally and vertically to provide substantially uniform microporosity throughout the coating.

Raised Xerographic printing is produced by the use of thermally intumesced electroscopic powders for the development of electrophotographic images. Intumescent electroscopic powders are blended with the powdered pigmented "ink" or "Toner" in the ink reservoir of a Xerographic copying machine. The image is formed and transferred to a paper carrier in the well-known process of Carlson, U.S. Pat. No. 2,297,691.
