A business form particularly adapted for use in a medical or hospital environment includes in a first embodiment a wristband assembly that is readily separable from a carrier comprised of a layer of face stock and a laminate, with the wristband including a printable face stock region die cut into the face stock and a strap portion, a laminating portion, and a cinch die cut into the laminate layer. The laminating portion includes two halves which fold together about a fold line to enclose the face stock, with the strap portion extending from one of said halves. The cinch may be located in one of two locations, either in an extension from the other side of the face stock or intermediate the face stock and the strap portion. In either case the cinch comprises a slot through which the strap portion is inserted and then adhered to itself after its length has been adjusted by the medical professional. If an extension is provided, it may be folded over to adhere to the strap portion and clamp it in place there as well as being adhered at its end back onto itself, as described. An extender is also described which includes a clamshell joinder and a tail portion. The clamshell portion may be applied to the strap portion anywhere along its length to extend the effective length of the strap portion. Any of the wristband constructions may be provided on a page sized sheet along with a plurality of self adhering labels, in any of a number of configurations, to suit any particular application, as desired by a user.

A strip line integrated microwave generating element and a microwave detecting element comprises a signal electrode and a ground electrode. The element has a magnetic tunnel junction structure which includes a magnetization fixed layer, a MgO tunnel barrier layer, and a magnetization free layer. The magnetization free layer is 200 nm square or smaller in a cross-sectional area. The magnetization fixed layer is in contact with either one of the signal electrode and the ground electrode while the magnetization free layer of the element being in contact with the other. The element is smaller than the electrodes and mounted on a part of the signal electrode or the ground electrode. A MR ratio of the element is of 100% or more. A resistance value of the element is from 50Ω to 300Ω. The resistance of the element is matched with an impedance of the microwave transmission line.

The present invention is directed to a novel integrated process for the recovery of sulphate of potash (SOP) from sulphate rich bittern. The process requires bittern and lime as raw materials. Kainite type mixed salt is obtained by fractional crystallization of the bittern, and is converted to schoenite which is subsequently reacted with muriate of potash (MOP) for its conversion to SOP. End liquor from kainite to schoenite conversion (SEL) is desulphated and supplemented with MgCl2 using end bittern generated in the process of making carnallite. Decomposed carnallite liquor produced is reacted with hydrated lime for preparing CaCl2 solution and high purity Mg(OH)2 having low boron content. It is shown that the liquid streams containing potash are recycled in the process, and the recovery of potash in the form of SOP is quantitative.

A method for making a nano-scale amorphous soft magnetic powders obtained by thermally processing and crystallizing amorphous ribbons produced using a rapid solidification process (RSP) and crushing the same. The amorphous soft magnetic core having an excellent high-frequency characteristic is obtained by performing a preliminary thermal treatment of Fe-based amorphous metal ribbons produced by using RSP to then be converted into nano-scale grain metal ribbons, crushing the metal ribbons to thereby obtain nano-scale grain metal powders, classifying the nano-scale grain metal powders to then be mixed into a distribution of powder particles having an optimal uniform composition, mixing the mixed powder with a binder, and then forming a core, and annealing the formed core to then coat the core with an insulating resin.

The invention relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet (10) in which an upper storage space and a lower storage space are defined, a door part (31) inserted and withdrawn to openand close the lower storage space, a drawer part (32) connected to the door part so as to be inserted into and withdrawn from the lower storage space, a support member (35) which is provided in the drawer part and on which a food or container is seated, and an elevation device (51) disposed on each of both side surfaces of the drawer part (32) and coupled to each of both side ends of the supportmember (35) to vertically elevate the support member in a state in which the drawer door is withdrawn.
