Assignee:

ARCH Development Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C08G 6308
A61K 914

US Classification:

528354

Abstract:

A water and UV light degradable copolymer of monomers of lactic acid and a modifying monomer selected from the class consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, P-dioxanone, 1,5 dioxepan-2-one, 1,4-oxathialan-2-one, 1,4-dioxide and mixtures thereof. These copolymers are useful for waste disposal and agricultural purposes. Also disclosed is a water degradable blend of polylactic acid or modified polylactic acid and high molecular weight polyethylene oxide wherein the high molecular weight polyethylene oxide is present in the range of from about 2 by weight to about 50% by weight, suitable for films. A method of applying an active material selected from the class of seeds, seedlings, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and mixtures thereof to an agricultural site is also disclosed.

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

395109

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided for printing a color computer screen display on a monochrome printer by establishing for the screen display a print filter including a set of filter blocks for controlling the printing of the screen display, wherein each filter block designates a filter realm area on the screen in which the filter block is active and a filter color acted on by the filter block and a filter type instructing the printer to either print or not print pixels which lie within the realm area of the block and have a color which matches the filter color of the block. Plural print filters can be established for a screen display or display components thereof and each print filter is enabled when the associated screen display or display component is displayed on the screen. For any portion of a screen display or display component which lies within overlapping realm areas of different print filters, the last-enabled print filter governs the printing. The system can automatically change a print filter in response to a change in the screen display or display component with which the filter is associated.
