A method of constructing multi-layer products for absorbing fluids is disclosed. In the methods of the present invention, two or more layers of materials chosen to vary in recovery are compressed such that an absorption gradient forms through the continuous intimately associated layers. A first layer preferably remains densified while a second layer "blooms" to form an open, absorptive layer, whic...

A film consisting of a fine powder of zinc oxide and titanium oxide and an organic or inorganic binder is formed on the outer surface of a light source. The fine powder serves as an absorbent for ultraviolet radiation emitted from the light source. The film is formed on the outer surface by applying a coating agent prepared by dispersing the above components in an organic solvent on the outer surf...

The specification describes and claims a method of providing an anti-corrosion coating on steel. The coating is formed by application of a silicone based foamable composition. Preferred compositions are formed by mixing ingredients selected to provide a cured foam having a density less than 150 Kg/m3 within 120 seconds of mixing at 20.degree.C. The compositions comprise polysiloxanes having alkylh...

PURPOSE:To always obtain a desired stable bonding load by a method wherein, as soon as a tool whose bonding load has been set comes into contact with a bonding point, a linear motor is driven immediately and the bonding load is changed. CONSTITUTION:When an up-and-down moving block 4 is lowered, a tool 1 comes into contact with a pellet 50 or a lead frame 51; when the block is lowered further, a c...
