Abstract:
A solution is formed of a polymer which degrades in the presence of light and a photograding compound which degrades the polymer when exposed to light. A non-photo-reducible dye may be included in the solution to filter out unwanted wavelengths. When the solution is exposed to light, the polymer is degraded and the viscosity of the solution is lowered. The solution is conveniently packaged in a sealed tube with a bubble of a noninterfering gas, and the viscosity of the solution is determined by timing the rise of the bubble. The amount of light striking the meter may be determined by comparing the time required for the gas bubble to rise in the tube with the time required for a bubble to rise in identically filled tubes exposed to various known quantities of light.
Abstract:
A method of making a liquid purification module consists of (1) applying a finishing composition, comprising fine filler particles coated with a resinous material, to the interior circular cular bore walls of a membrane support module made of bonded, resin-coated coarse filler particles, to smooth irregularities in the bore walls, and then (2) drying the finishing composition to harden the finishing composition resinous material and bond it to the bore walls prior to applying semipermeable membranes inthe module bores.
Abstract:
A high temperature polyester brushing compound is disclosed which comprises a polyunsaturated cyclic monomer or prepolymer, a free-radical generator, an inorganic thixotrope, and the reaction product of (1) an aromatic polycarboxylic acid, acid halide, ester to C6, or anhydride, (2) a polyol, and (3) an unsaturated carboxylic acid, acid halide, ester to C6, or anhydride. Optional ingredients include an inorganic filler and a free-radical inhibitor.
Abstract:
A sensing device is made by protectively packaging a cholesteric liquid crystalline material containing from about 0.3 to 7 weight percent of an ultraviolet radiation stabilizer consisting of either aromatic azo or aromatic azoxy compounds, in a clear compatible protective polymeric material.
