The invention is a polymeric reference electrode having properties equal to or superior to prior art electrodes without the presence of a plasticizer and in which such properties are achieved by incorporation in the membrane of a polymer with a sufficiently low glass transition temperature (T_g) to mimic the characteristics of a highly plasticized thermoplastic membrane. Preferred polymers are the polyacrylates, preferably with a linear backbone and pendant substituent groups. The membrane may further include lipophilic polymers and lipophilic additives, such as salts. In the reference electrode the membrane is overlaid on an internal electrode comprised of an internal contact optionally coated with an electrolyte and entrapped in a hydrophilic polymer. The polymeric reference electrode is preferably for use in the context of an ion selective electrode assembly.

Detergent tablets are dispersed by means of gas entrapped within the detergent ingredients. Tablets for use in dishwashers provide an in-use alkaline wash liquor by dissolving quickly.

A gas sensor, which could be a sensor of combustible gases, incorporates a diffusion chamber having symmetrical sensing and reference portions. A common source emits infrared-type radiant energy symmetrically into the two portions. Each portion incorporates a curved reflective surface which reflects incident infrared onto a respective sensor. Each sensor has a filter which passes a different selected band of energy. A fluid, such as gas being sensed, passes laterally through the chamber.

Wastewater is treated though primary treatment of the water by way of a micro-sieve to produce a primary effluent and primary sludge. There is secondary treatment of the primary effluent by way of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) or an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor to produce a secondary effluent and a waste activated sludge. The micro-sieve may have openings of 250 microns or less, for example about 150 microns. In a process, a gas transfer membrane is immersed in water. Pressurized air flows into the gas transfer membrane. An exhaust gas is withdrawn from the gas transfer membrane and used to produce bubbles from an aerator immersed in the water.

This type of optical disk (10) has performance equal to that of conventional optical disks and has a minimal effect on the environment during disposal. In addition, a manufacturing method of an optical disk of the present invention has a recording layer sheet fabrication step in which a recording layer sheet is fabricated by forming tracks on a recording layer base material, and a recording layer sheet lamination step in which a recording layer (13) included the recording layer sheet is provided on a substrate (11) included resin-impregnated paper or resin-coated paper by laminating the recording layer sheet with the resin-impregnated paper in which a resin is impregnated into paper or the resin-coated paper in which the surface of the paper is coated with a resin. This type of manufacturing method of an optical disk allows optical disk (10) to be produced inexpensively.

A thin soft magnetic film combines a high magnetization with an insulating character. The film is formed by nitriding Fe-rich ferromagnetic nanograins immersed in an amorphous substrate. A selective oxidation of the amorphous substrate is then performed. The result is a thin, insulating, soft magnetic film of high magnetization. Many types of integrated circuits can be made which include a component using a membrane incorporating the above-mentioned thin film.
