AMD to launch Phenom II X6 processor April 26th
AMD will likely launch three versions of the Phenom II X6, namely the 1035T, 1055T, and 1075T. All these CPUs will be built on the 45nm manufacturing process and will be compatible with AM2+ and AM3 sockets. This could imply that they will be compatible with not just the 890GX-based motherboards, but also existing AM2+ and AM3 boards (provided a BIOS update is made).
Among the features that the upcoming chip is expected to boast is a dynamic performance boost technology similar to Intel's Turbo Boost. Known, for now, as C-state performance boost, this technology will dynamically disable unused cores and overclock the operational ones, when running applications that rely on clock speed and cannot take advantage of multiple cores.
AMD will be showcasing the six-core at CeBIT 2010, where its 890GX chipset (which launches tomorrow) will also be demonstrated as part of a range of new motherboards.
Intel's six-core Gulftown is to debut in March.

Intel debuts Atom N470 CPU released
Not exactly a big launch apparantly. A message on Intel's PR blog reveals the company has introduced the Atom N470 processor.
Intel was pressured to launch its first update to the Pine Trail-based Atom early. The N470 brings the netbook-class chip back up to a 1.83GHz maximum speed without affecting the 5.5W power use key to Pine Trail's longer battery life. It shares the same 512KB of Level 2 cache and support for DDR2 memory.
Today Intel introduced the Intel

Corsair debuts mainstream SSDs with new JMicron controller
Breaking away from the initial limitations. Corsair officially introduced its Reactor SSDs, these disks feature the new JMicron JMF612 controller and are available in 60GB and 120GB capacities. The specifications reveal read speeds of up to 250MB/s for both models and write speeds of up to 110MB/s for the 60GB model and up to 170MB/s for the 120GB version.
JMicron has a bit name in the SSD market because its controllers suffered from stutter issues, but Corsair points out that the new JMF612 incorporates 128MB of DDR2 cache for stuffer-free performance. The 60GB and 120GB Reactor are listed online for $185 and $350, respectively.
Additionally, Corsair also introduced the Nova series. The Nova Series SSDs are created with the Indilinx BarefooT controller, which provides the storage units with a cache memory of 64MB. The line is, at least for now, composed of two models, namely one with 64GB of storage and one with 128GB. These two devices both have a maximum read speed of 270MB/s. This transfer rate is significantly superior to that of not just hard drives, but also certain other existing SSDs. As for writing, the maximum speed is, predictably, lower for the drive with smaller capacity. As such, the 64GB Nova SSD can reach 130MB/s, whereas the 128GB version can achieve 190MB/s.
Both the Reactor and Nova series have support for TRIM in Windows 7 and are backed by a two-year warranty.

GPU shortage will drives prices up
Although TSMC recently said the defect density of its 40nm technology has already dropped from 0.3-0.4 per square inch to 0.1-0.3, the sources pointed out that the improvement in overall yield still needs more time before catching up with market demand.
To maintain gross margins from the increased cost created by the GPU shortages and rising DRAM quotes, graphics card makers including Asustek Computer, Micro-Star International (MSI), Gigabyte Technology and Tul are planning to increase prices of their products by 5-10%, according to market sources.

Team Guru3D overclocker pours LN2 on hexacore processor gets to 5700 MHz
Our in-house mad scientist and 'Stig' like personality (without the helmet) under codename Bodar recently picked up a Hexa-core / 6-core Xeon based processor. With Intel's Gulftown in close vicinity we therefore asked Bodar to show us some performance numbers and then poor a few liters if Liquid Nitrogen on the processor to see how deep it will go.
Bodar will take you through some low-level game benchmarks to show performance differences in-between 2, 4 and 6 CPU cores. Then use liquid nitrogen on the setup and will take this hexa-core processor towards 5800 MHz with Hyper Threading enabled. He ended at 5724 MHz for table PI scores and for the Futuremark benchmark sessions roughly got pure 5400 MHz love on all six cores.
Here's a hint, he got a 41277 3DMark Vantage score.
Don't get scared with what you are about to see .. Latest famous words from this extraordinary dude:
" I broke so many 5870's so I couldn't finish all my LN2 stuff but I'll be back! I haven't posted this in the forum yet cause I wanted you to check it out. here you go. I think 38,810 is number 4 overall in 3dmark 06.. Could have done a lot better if I had a chance to overclock the cards but unfortunately so many died."
Great work Bodar ! Keep em coming man. Should you like give props to Bodar, please do so in this thread.

Few GeForce GTX 470/480 cards at launch
The colleagues over at DigiTimes reports thats second-tier graphics card makers are unlikely to start shipping large volumes of NVIDIA Fermi based graphics cards until April, which matches to what we have been sayin.
XFX and PNY are apparently already confirmed to be among the first wave of GeForce GTX 470/480 card manufacturers, with prices expected to be around $499.99 and $679.99 respectively.
Second-tier graphics card makers are unlikely to start mass shipments of their Nvidia GeForce GTX 480/470-based (Fermi) graphics cards until April despite that Nvidia plans to announce the GPU on March 26 since most of the them have not yet received complete reference board designs, according to sources from graphics card makers.
The sources expect Nvidia will give supply priority to first-tier makers or makers that only produce Nvidia cards. Makers including XFX and PNY are already offering pre-orders for these upcoming cards with GTX 480 priced at around US$679.99 and GTX 470 at about US$499.99.
Some market watchers originally expected AMD to drop its graphics card price to counter the launch of Nvidia's new cards, but since the prices of Nvidia cards are higher than AMD's existing cards, watchers now believe any price war between the two chip makers is unlikely to start until after May.
ASUS ROG Ares spotted
Last month we already mentioned that ASUS is working on a new 'Mars' like product, it turns out thje be the ASUS ROG Ares.
The most interesting fact is that the product is no longer be based on NVIDIA chips, yet would be a Radeon 5870 X2 (5970) model. ASUS would use up all available stream processors (2x1600) and then opposed to the 5970 use normal clocks.
- Normal clocks: (725/1000 MHz core/memory)
- Expected Mars 5870 clocks: (850/1200 MHz).
Now in real-life ladies and gentlemen .. this would just be an overclocked Radeon HD 5970 or simply the R5970 in Crossfire -- but likely with some more memory and a price tag over inflated.
It will be interesting to see though as ASUS would use a custom PCB with new VRM control and much needed power phases. The card will come packked with 4GB of graphics memory and should be able to get a X14104 3DMark Vantage score. Here's a photo courtesy of Muropaketti.

[0001] This application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/456,578, filed Mar. 24, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
[0002] The present invention relates to wetness indicators and, more particularly, to indicator composites incorporating pH indicating agents and to compositions that may be used to make such indicator composites. The indicators may be of a single layer or multiple layer composite, and they may be incorporated in articles and devices wherein it is desirable to sense pH, moisture or wetness.
[0003] Chemical compounds that change color with change in pH are well-known in the art. The use of such compounds, or so-called pH indicating agents, to provide pH and wetness indications is also known.
[0004] Such wetness indicators are frequently used in connection with disposable diapers. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,654 includes a translucent backing sheet and an indicating agent applied to an absorbent pad surface adjacent the backing sheet which becomes visible upon moisture contact. U.S. Pat. No. 3,731,685 utilizes capillary action to transmit interior diaper moisture along a strip to an exterior end of the strip having an indicator agent. The pH indicating agent is incorporated in a latex adhesive applied to the backing sheet or adjacent pad surface of a disposable diaper in U.S. Pat. No. 4,231,370. It is also known to incorporate indicating agents in hot melt adhesives used in diapers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,743,238, 5,035,691, 5,066,711 and 5,089,548. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,354,289, such a hot melt adhesive strip is isolated from the diaper interior by a water impervious baffle that extends beyond the adhesive strip dimensions to cause liquid to flow around the edges of the baffle in order to contact the indicator agent and thereby provide a capacity monitor.
[0005] Wetness indicators not using pH indicating agents are also used in disposable diaper constructions to provide visible indicia of diaper wetness. These include water soluble dyes rendered visible by contact with diaper liquid in U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,654. An the opposite approach is used in U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,211 wherein the indicia is visible if dry, but dispersed upon diaper wetting. In other approaches, visibility masks are removed by diaper wetting to allow viewing of the wetness indicia as in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,192,311 and 4,705,513.
[0006] As distinguished from wetness indicators not using pH indicating agents, the present invention contemplates the use of a pH indicating agent for pH or wetness indication of an environment. Herein, an environment comprises a moisture containing fluid. The fluid may be present in liquid and/or in condensable vapor form.
[0007] It has now been discovered that pH indicating agents may be utilized more effectively with fluid regulation or control in single layer and multiple layer wetness indicators within a desired timeframe of use. Fluid control may be used to promote or to inhibit fluid contact with the pH indicating agent as well as to limit the diffusion of the latter.
[0008] As used herein, fluid regulation includes one or more of the following. (i) Moisture transmission or absorption enabling controlling or regulating the amount of fluid contacting the surface or flowing into the body of one or more layers of the indicator. (ii) Obstructing or preventing the bleed of indicator back into the environment. In preferred embodiments, fluid regulation includes both moisture transmission and bleed prevention.
[0009] The invention contemplates a controlled pathway for fluid which comprises moisture and/or other pH contributing species such as acids or alkali ions in a water phase to be transported to the surface of the indicating layer or into its body for indication. The extent of transport of fluid is regulated to be representative of the extent of wetness in the environment or to its pH level. A pathway for indicating agent back into the environment may also result as a consequence of creating this pathway for moisture into the indicator body. A preferred embodiment would be the use of barrier layers or fluid regulating additives that are moisture absorbing or transmitting resins, which allow for transmitting moisture in one direction but also prevent bleed in the reverse direction within the contemplated fluid regulation herein.
[0010] In the illustrated embodiments, fluid regulation is provided through at least a portion of the thickness of a layer of the wetness indicator in order to contact the pH indicating agent. Also illustrated is an ink for constructing such layers with said transmission. Typically, the wetness indicator has a surface exposed to the fluid and at least a portion of the wetness indicating agent is contained within a layer for contact with the fluid following transmission of the fluid through the layer.
[0011] The fluid regulating additive, or at least a portion thereof, may be incorporated in one or more layers of the wetness indicator to enable control of the fluid contacting the pH indicator. To that end, the layer containing the pH indicator may have sufficient microporosity and/or moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) to achieve fluid penetration to contact the pH indicator or a moisture transmitting additive may be incorporated in at least the portion of the thickness of the layer to achieve fluid contact with the pH indicating agent therein.
[0012] Suitable pH indicating agents are well known in the art and include cresol red, thymol blue, methyl yellow, methyl orange, bromophenol blue, bromocresol green, methyl red, p-Nitrophenol, phenol red, phenophthalein and Alizarin yellow R. These agents are commercially available from numerous suppliers such as Neha Chemicals.
[0013] Suitable fluid regulating additives include commercially available supeirabsorbent polymers, typically polyacrylates, available from Dow Chemical, BASF (HYSORB brand), Degussa AG (FAVOR brand). Cellulose and cellulosic derived resins, such as ETHOCEL brand from Dow Chemical, may also be used as additives. Anhydride resins such as maleic anhydride or nadic methyl anhydride or SMA brand resins form Sartomer Company are also useful. Polyolefin blended resins, such as INTERACT 91-04365 available from ONeil Color, suitable for blending with other plastics during extrusion, may be used. Synthetic zeolites such as Zeolum Series by Tosoh may be used. Zeolites with controlled pore size openings have an added benefit of acting as barriers that allow the forward flow of moisture due to the smaller molecular size of water into the indicator while obstructing the reverse flow of pH indicating agents (larger molecular size) back into the environment. Other suitable additives may comprise typical desiccants such as silica gel, calcium oxide, clays and calcium sulfate may be used.
[0014] As noted above, preferred embodiments of the invention contemplate fluid regulation including fluid transmission to the pH indicating agent and inhibiting of bleed of the agent into the fluid. Zeolites with selected pore opening sizes allow for both mechanisms. Dispersions of fine hollow cellulose fibers in the layer would also accomplish both mechanisms by transmitting moisture due to their absorbent nature or by providing means to entrap the indicating agent.
[0015] The wetness indicator may comprise a single layer wherein both pH indication and fluid control occur. For example, in the illustrated embodiments, a single layer may be provided with a microporosity or moisture vapor transmission rate sufficient to enable fluid penetration and contact with pH indicating agent disposed within at least a portion of the thickness of the layer.
[0016] The wetness indicator may comprise a multiple layer composite wherein pH indication and fluid control occur in separate layers, or in both layers. In the illustrated embodiments, the layer providing fluid control is disposed between the environment and the layer containing the pH indicating agent.
[0017] In accordance with the invention, a layer may comprise or be in the form of a polymer layer, an ink or coating layer, or a fibrous layer or mixtures thereof. The layer may be continuous or discontinuous. A composite may include similar or different types of layers. Further, a composite may include a matrix which is a structure that allows for a dispersed phase.
[0018] The polymer layer may be a substantially continuous film of polymer that is impermeable to the fluid. Alternatively, the polymer layer may have a microporosity or a sufficient MVTR, in at least a portion of its thickness, to permit full or partial penetration by the fluid of the environment. The polymer layer may comprise polyolefin based polymers such as polypropylene, films, polyethylene films or other polymers such as polyester, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane films or composites thereof. Films formed of copolymers, polymer blends and mixtures thereof are also contemplated. An example of a film described above could be biaxially oriented polypropylene film.
[0019] Suitable porosities defined in terms of pore opening size are 1 micron to 150 microns pore size and useful MVTR range from 0.5 g/100 sqin/24 hr to 25,000 g/100, and more preferably, from 1,500 to 15,000, and most preferably, from 2,500 to 8,000 sqin/24 hr as measured by ASTM E98.
[0020] In flexible indicator applications, useful polymer layers may have a weight as low as 2 grams/meter2 (gsm) and up to about 105 gsm and, more preferably, in the range of from 6 to 45 gsm. The thickness of the polymer layer may range from a fraction of a mil up to about 6 mils.
[0021] The desired fluid penetration of the polymer layer may be provided by a moisture transmitting additive dispersed in at least a portion of the polymer. The moisture transmission rate may be selected in accordance with a particular application. Useful transmission rates are 0.5 g/100 sqin/24 hr to 25,000 g/100 sqin/24 hr.
[0022] In the illustrated embodiments, the moisture transmitting additive comprises a fluid regulating additive as noted above. The fluid regulating additives may be dispersed throughout the layer thickness or in selected portions of the layer. The additive may be used in amounts ranging from 1% to 35% based on the weight of the layer components, and more preferably, with better performance in the 5% to 25% range, and most preferably, in the 5% to 15% range, depending upon the application.
[0023] The moisture transmission or MVTR increases with increasing additive concentration and results in decreased or shorter time for indication by the pH indicating agent. Conversely, the lower the concentration of moisture transmission additive, the lower the moisture transmission or MVTR and the greater the time for indication or response. For example, a single layer composite containing 25% fluid regulating additive and 4% pH indicating agent, when contacted with liquid water may commence substantial indication in less than 30 seconds. The same composite with reduced additive of 10% and 4% indicating agent may require over 50 seconds to substantial indication. In both cases, the composites were exposed to 5 cc of water.
[0024] The pH indicating agent may also be dispersed throughout the layer thickness or in selected portions of the layer and/or applied to a surface thereof. The pH indicating agent may be used in amounts ranging from 0.1 to 25% based on the weight of the polymer layer.
[0025] The ink or coating layer may be formed of polymers, fibers and/or resins, and may therefore differ from a polymer layer in some applications. For convenience herein, reference to an ink layer will be understood to include a coating unless otherwise prohibited by the context. As in the case of a polymer layer, the ink layer may be impermeable to the fluid or permeability may be achieved by microporosity or a fluid regulating additive contained in the ink layer. Layers printed with such inks could be substantially continuous or discontinuous in the form of separated dots as is common with current process print technology.
[0026] For flexible indicators, the ink layer may range in weight from 1 to 7 gsm, and have a thickness as low as 0.05 mil to as high as 1 mil. Also, the pH indicating agent may be dispersed in the ink layer thickness in a range of from 0.1 to 25% based on the weight of the ink layer.
[0027] The fibrous layer may be a paper, a woven or a nonwoven fabric layer that is formed of natural or synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof. Synthetic fibers may have a continuous cross-section or a hollow cross-section. Coaxial or composite fibers comprising concentric layers of different polymers may also be used. The fabric layer may be substantially impermeable to the fluid of the environment, and fluid flow may be provided by applying to the exterior fiber-surfaces an ink layer having the desired fluid permeability. In the case of coaxial fibers, the fluid regulating additive may be incorporated in at least one of the concentric polymer layers forming the fiber.
[0028] Another embodiment of this invention is a pH indicating ink that allows for moisture transmission. The inks could be formulated as solvent based, water based or UV or other radiation curable inks. Water based inks are generally not preferred especially if the purpose of the ink is to indicate the presence of moisture. The indicating agent would be activated by the liquid ink and proper functionality would be dependent on drying the ink completely so that little or no indicating agent would remain activated. Suitable inks would comprise a pH indicating agent and a fluid regulating additive.

[0038]FIG. 9A is a fragmentary perspective view, on an enlarged scale, showing the wetness indicator incorporated in the disposable diaper of FIG. 9.
[0039] Referring to FIG. 1, a single layer wetness indicator 10 is provided by a microporous polymer layer 12 containing dispersed pH indicating agent 14. For example, a polypropylene film having adequate fluid diffusion properties may be blended with Thymol Blue as the pH indicating agent. In this manner, the polypropylene provides a polymer matrix having the indicating agent dispersed therein.
[0040] The indicator 10 is disposed adjacent a transparent wall portion 16 of a food packaging container (not shown). For example, the food container may be a flexible bag container for potato chips, and the indicator 10 would indicate staleness or an undesirable level of moisture within the container. The indicator 10 may be mounted to the wall portion 16 by a translucent or transparent adhesive, or it may be otherwise retained adjacent wall portion 16 with all surfaces thereof exposed to the environment.
[0041] In this instance, the sensed environment comprises fluid within the interior of the container and excessive levels of moisture are identified by the indicator 10. In such an application, it may be preferred to use an indicator having a high MVTR range since diffusional resistance to flow of moisture vapor into the indicator should be minimized.
[0042] The incorporation of pH indicating agent into the thickness of the layer with fluid penetration to reach the agent provides several advantages in accordance with the invention. In the absence of fluid penetration, the prior art incorporation of pH indicating agent into the thickness of the layer results in a substantial portion of the agent being isolated from contact with the fluid and therefore rendered ineffective. Accordingly, fluid penetration in accordance with the invention enables a reduced amount of pH indicating agent to the used and a reduced amount of bleed of the agent into the environment while achieving a similar response level as compared with the prior art.
[0043] Further, the use of a fluid barrier layer or moisture transmitting resins such as ZEOLUM reduce the bleed of indicator into the environment by providing hindrance to the migration of the agent. While steric hindrance is inherent to any polymer mixture, these embodiments are particularly effective in reducing bleed. The barrier layer could function as an external wall of obstruction, the thickness of which would increase the resistance to migration of the agent whereas the use of zeolite resins or resins containing hollow fibers provide a means to entrap the indicating agent thereby minimizing its bleed into the environment. These embodiments are particularly useful in allowing formulators more freedom in choosing components for wetness indicating layers. These embodiments are also useful in helping preserve the definition of graphics that are comprised of such composites.
[0044] Referring to FIG. 2, a multiple layer wetness indicator 18 comprises multiple layer composites formed by a pH indicating layer 20 and a fluid barrier layer 22. An indicating agent 24 is dispersed in the layer 20 and, for example, this layer and indicating agent may be the same as in the layer 14 of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
[0045] The fluid barrier layer 22 contains a fluid regulating additive 26 dispersed therein to provide the desired degree of moisture transmission. For example, the layer 22 may be formed on polyethylene and the fluid regulating additive 26 may comprise superabsorbent polymer dispersed in a polypropylene matrix. The relative amount of fluid regulating additive 26 may be selected in accordance with the concentration or level of fluid present in the environment and whether the fluid is present in a relatively high diffusible liquid species or a relatively low diffusible vapor species. Also, increased amounts of fluid regulating additive will result in increased fluid transmission and affect the desired response time. Accordingly, specific concentrations of fluid regulating additive will depend upon the application.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 3, a wetness indicator 28 comprises a multiple layer composite of a pH indicating layer 30 and a fluid barrier layer 32. The layer 32 may be formed of the same polymer as layer 24 described above. In this embodiment, the layer 32 has a microporosity sufficient to transfer fluid from the environment through its thickness for contact with the pH indicating layer 30. Accordingly, it is not necessary to add a separate fluid regulating additive. Of course, a polymer of lesser microporosity may have a fluid regulating additive added to it.
[0047] It should be appreciated that each of the wetness indicators Described above may be provided in the form of a polymer layer, a printed ink layer or a fibrous layer. Further, the microporosity of the layers enables the fluid or moisture to penetrate deeper into the layer or layers, based upon the amount of fluid present in the environment. Accordingly, multiple layers may each have a different pH indicating agent and response or different concentration and intensity of response. In this manner, the layers may be arranged to provide for indication of threshold levels and/or different degrees of wetness or fluid in the environment.
[0048] Referring to FIG. 4, a wetness indicator 34 comprises a hollow fiber 36 including an annular or cylindrical layer 38 and a central passage 40. The cylindrical layer 38 may be formed of a polymer having a sufficient microporosity or MVTR to provide a fluid barrier layer function as described above. An ink layer or coating 42 containing a pH indicating agent (not shown) is applied to the exterior surface of the layer 38. As in prior embodiments, the pH indicating agent may be dispersed throughout the thickness of the ink layer or coating 40.
[0049] In this embodiment, a wetness indicator 34 may comprise a plurality of fibers 36 as described above that are arranged to contain the environment within the central passages 40. In practice, the environment may be caused to flow through the passages 40 and the level of fluid contained within the environment may be monitored.
[0050] Referring to FIG. 5, a wetness indicator 44 comprises a coaxial or composite fiber 46. The coaxial fiber 46 includes an inner layer or central core 48 formed of a first polymer that contains a pH indicating agent. The fiber 46 also has an outer annular layer 50 formed of a second polymer, which may be the same or different from the first polymer, and has sufficient microporosity or MVTR to function as a fluid barrier layer. For example, the layers 48 and 50 may each be formed of polypropylene, or one of the layers may:be formed a polyethylene.
[0051] In practice, a wetness indicator 52, as shown in FIG. 6, may comprise a plurality of fibers 46 arranged as a woven fabric 52 a or a nonwoven fabric 52 b. Each layer 52 a and 52 b may contain fibers 46 of similar layer barrier and indicating functions. Of course, the woven fabric 52 a and the nonwoven fabric 52 b may be used separately to provide wetness indicators.
[0052] Referring to FIG. 7, a wetness indicator 60 comprises a multiple layer composite formed by layers 62, 64, 66 and 68. Each of the layers 62, 64 and 66 may include differing amounts of pH indicating agents or different pH indicating agents. In addition, each of the layers 62, 64 and 66 provides sufficient microporosity or MVTR to allow penetration by the fluid of the environment and contact with the pH indicating agents. The degree of fluid penetration will be proportional to the fluid concentration or level in the environment. The layer 68 is a clear or transparent layer.
[0053] Further, the wetness indicator 60 may be arranged so that, depending on the side of view A or B, the layers 62, 64 and 66 could become opaque, transparent, change color, or expose or hide graphics as indicators for the degree of wetness.
[0054] Referring to FIG. 8, a wetness indicator 70 comprises a three layer composite including a protective layer 72, an indication layer 74 and a barrier and anchorage layer 76. The indication layer 74 comprises a layer of pH indicating printing ink. The layer 76 secures the composite 70 to a substrate 78. In this composite, the barrier layer 72 prevents the indicating agent dye from flowing or dissipating into the surrounding fluid environment, but does allow for the passage of fluid to the indication layer. Such a layer may consist of any ink that is somewhat transparent to allow for visual indication in viewing from side A. Such an ink layer may also consist of polymers and/or resins that allow for absorption, transmission of moisture and fluid to allow the indicating layer to come into fluid contact and be activated. The degree of saturation or penetration of fluid in this layer enables differential indication. The layer 76 may be present as a barrier anchorage layer that is applied to the substrate 78 prior to applying the indicating layer 74. The function of the layer 76 may include allowing for visual indication from side B, assisting in anchoring the layer 74 to the substrate 78 and further sealing the adjacent side of the indication layer 74 so that activation can only occur from one side.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 9, a disposable diaper 80 is shown. The diaper 80 includes a water impervious backing sheet 82 and absorbent pad 84 which may include an absorbent fiber layer as well as a facing sheet which would contact a user's skin. The composite 70 is secured to the inside surface of the backing sheet 82 by the barrier anchorage layer 76. The layer 76 is substantially transparent so that indication layer 74, upon contact with the urine or fluid environment of the diaper, will be visible through the backing sheet 82.
[0056] The barrier layer 72 also prevents premature activation of the pH indicating agent due to moisture present in the diaper during storage and prior to use. Thus, the microporosity and/or MVTR of the barrier layer may be selected to prevent fluid contact of the pH indicating agent by such moisture.
[0057] The indicating layer 74 includes a pH indicating agent that may be arranged to provide a graphic design or message. Also, the Ph indicating agent may be translucent or substantially not visible through the backing sheet 82 prior to fluid contact. Accordingly, the fluid contact activates the pH indicating agent to provide a graphic message.
[0058] Of course, the diaper 80 may comprise any urinary incontinence article, sanitary napkin, a bandage or a like article. In addition to such personal wear articles, the wetness indicators may be used in an environment to be monitored for moisture. For example, the wetness indicator may be secured to a viewing window of a home clothes dryer.
[0059] One or more composite layers may be formed from curing pH indicating inks. The layers may be in the form of films or discontinuous dots dependent on the graphic desired. Inks can be compounded with carriers that are solvents or water where cure occurs in general by drying off the carrier. Inks can also be compounded to be substantially solvent or water free and cured by exposure to UV light or other appropriate radiation sources. UV inks and solvent inks are preferred embodiments. Water based inks tend to have some residual moisture after drying and the resin components tend to have a pH value which is imparted to the ink composition both of which may render portions prematurely activated. UV and solvent inks do not have a pH.
[0060] The following ink formulations are illustrative of useful inks in accordance with the invention.
[0061] Formulation 1 UV Cured—Without Fluid Regulating Additive
[0062] Formulation 2 UV Cured—With Fluid Regulating Additive
[0063] Formulation 3 Solvent Based—Without Fluid Regulating Additive
[0064] Formulation 4 Solvent Based—With Fluid Regulating Additive
[0065] The foregoing formulations may be modified at specific components and composition percentages, and they are merely provided as being illustrative of useful pH indicating ink compositions.
[0066] The resins used to provide a body or a binder for the matrix in the inks include polymers of acrylates, alkyd resins, amides, amino resins, ethylene co-terpolymer resins such as EVA, epoxy resins, fluoropolymers, hydrocarbon resins, phenols, polyesters, olefins, polyurethanes, silicone, polystyrene and polyvinyls.
[0067] While particular embodiments of the present invention had been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art and various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes modifications that are within scope of this invention.

Remember Me
This marks the band's second video from their new album Head Down--out now on Earache Records. The band look to 2013 to showcase the record here in the U.S. with North American tour dates to be announced soon and the physical album hitting stores January 22, 2013.
The video is a freaky desert action clip, with crazy motorcycle sand dune racing, with the hills of the desert as a motif for the double entendres of the woman in the song. Rival Sons frontman Jay Buchanan says, "I really dig this video; it's a completely new direction for us. Filming videos can be very awkward for me, but this time I got to ride a dirt bike out in the desert where I'm most comfortable; it just felt so natural for the song. We're all pretty good on a bike so we just took turns doing tricks and trying to outdo each other. We ended up with some sweet footage. Nice."

PROVIDENCE – Michael Steinberg, Brown University's director of the Cogut Center for the Humanities, has been appointed vice provost for the arts, effective in January. more
Arts groups are scrambling to line up matching funds to take advantage of $30 million in grants to support local performing-arts facilities. Still to be determined, though, are rules governing what money they may use to qualify for a piece of those funds approved by voters. Much of the available funding is already spoken for by nine arts organizations. They have identified much-needed projects to renovate theaters, replace roofs and boilers, improve parking and build new facilities. The projects already identified are expected to create 568 permanent jobs in the state. more

How Caffeine Is Removed from Coffee
We've Got Chemistry
Most of us are addicted to caffeine. We drink it every morning out of habit, but also to give us a much-needed boost to get us going or to help us face the day. Caffeine is a stimulant targeting the central nervous system and it does a really good job of combating drowsiness and helping us feel more awake.
However, past a certain time in the day, many of us avoid caffeine for fear it may lead to a sleepless, restless night, so we turn to decaf. Let's explore some of the ways that caffeine is removed from coffee.
I Grill Better than My Husband Does & I Like It That Way
Sorry I'm Not Sorry
When it's time to fire up the grill, I pile the meat and grilling tools onto a sheet pan and head outside. I pour the charcoal into the chimney starter and light it. I wait, sipping a beer. I grill. Inside, my husband sets the table. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

3 Mess-Free Ways to Cut Corn off the Cob
Tips from The Kitchn
One of summertime's best vegetables is corn on the cob. There's nothing quite like its sweet taste — but there's nothing quite as messy, either, especially when you cut it off the cob. Between the corn's juice squirting across the table, and the kernels jumping off your plate, this job takes some skill — or a few simple tricks to make it easier. Here are three easy ways to tame your flying corn kernels this summer.
Recipe: Mixed New Potato Salad with Basil and Shallots
Side Dish Recipes from The Kitchn
When I go to the farmers market, new potatoes are one of my favorite things to buy. New potatoes, the tiny first potatoes of the season, can be found from spring through early summer, and I think they are simply the best-tasting potatoes of the year.
I use them for many things, but my favorite is potato salad — especially this fresh and easy version, with handfuls of basil and crisp shallots.

The Best Wines for Beer Drinkers
Wine for All
We all have those friends who pigeonhole themselves into the beer-drinking category. Maybe they had a bad first wine experience, or perhaps they haven't even started to explore the world of wine yet. I say, "Why choose sides?"
Choosing a wine style similar to the style of beer you enjoy is a good way to make the transition. Finding a good wine match for a beer-lover is all about pairing weight, texture, and notes — like fruit, herbs, and earth.

Marinated Lamb Chops
21 Nov 2010
|Lamb chops
|Lemon juice
|2 Tablespoon
|Olive oil/Vegetable oil
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Clove (5 gm), crushed
|Fresh oregano/Mint
|2 Teaspoon, finely chopped
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Black pepper
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
1. With a sharp knife, make several slanting cuts in the rim of fat on the chops. This prevents curling. Place the trimmed chops in a shallow dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, and spoon over the chops. Gover and let them stand for 2 hours, turning the chops occasionally.
3. When ready to cook, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes. Place the marinated chops on the rack of the broiler pan and broil them for 4 or 5 minutes on each side. The marinade tenderizes the meat, so do not overcook. Serve with broiled tomatoes and mashed potatoes.

Chronic Kidney Disease
(Chronic Renal Failure; Chronic Renal Disease; Chronic Renal Insufficiency)
Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which the kidneys are not working correctly. It is caused by damage to tiny structures within the kidneys called nephrons. In the early stages, chronic kidney disease does not cause symptoms; therefore, most people don't know they have the condition.The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the lower back just below the rib cage. Each kidney is about the size of a fist. The two kidneys filter blood, catch needed substances, return them to the circulation, and dispose of wastes in the urine. If the kidneys don't filter properly, wastes build up in the blood. The kidneys also maintain the balance of water in the body and release hormones. These hormones keep the bones strong, control blood pressure, and help the body make red blood cells. If your kidneys stop working, your bones may become weak, your blood pressure may increase, and your red blood cell count may decrease.
|Anatomy of the Kidneys
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
StagesChronic kidney disease is a progressive condition. Doctors use stages to describe how serious it is. The stage is based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
|Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
|Over 90 mL/min (normal)
|60 to 89 mL/min (mild decrease)
|30 to 59 mL/min (moderate decrease)
|15 to 29 mL/min (severe decrease)
|under 15 mL/min (kidney failure or end-stage renal disease)
CausesThe two most common causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and hypertension.
- Diabetes type 1 and type 2 occur when the body doesn't process the sugar in the blood well. The amount of sugar in the blood increases. High blood glucose damages the kidneys, the heart, blood vessels, and eyes.
- Hypertension , also known as high blood pressure, occurs when there is high pressure within the arteries of the body. Hypertension damages the kidneys. Chronic kidney disease can also cause hypertension.
- Intrinsic renal disease such as polycystic kidney disease or glomerulonephritis
- Glomerular disease leading to renal damage
- Renal tubular disorders
- Diseases of the immune system such as lupus
- Kidney stones , tumors, or in men, an enlarged prostate , causing obstructive kidney diseases
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Toxic exposures
- Prolonged use of medications, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or phenacetin
- Bilateral renal artery stenosis
- Viruses: hepatitis B , hepatitis C , or HIV
- Tubular interstitial nephritis
ComplicationsChronic renal failure can cause many complications, including:
- High blood pressure
- Coronary heart disease and heart attacks
- High lipid levels in the blood
- Weak bones
- Anemia—low red blood cell count
- Weak immune system
