Description The present invention relates to improved disposable, wet packaged or premoistened paper products, which have superior wet tensile strength at acidic pH and yet which have substantially reduced wet tensile strength at neutral or alkaline pH for ready disposal. These paper products, which are generally used for skin cleansing, are known commercially as towelettes, wet wipes or fem-wipes, and are formed from paper or non-woven fibrous webs which are treated with an improved polymeric binder which gives substantially higher tensile strength compared to prior art binder treated products when stored in an acidic wetting medium and during usage yet which exhibited substantially reduced strength when disposed in neutral or alkaline pH medium. The invention also related to a method of preparing an improved strengthened premoistened paper product through treatment of fibrous web material with an improved polymer binder prepared by the reaction of glyoxal and polyvinyl alcohol prior to drying and then wetting of the treated paper product with an acidic solution. Current premoistened paper products are prepared by treating paper or fibrous webs, which have been prepared by conventional paper manufacturing processes, with various polymer binders to impart a degree of wet strength to the web when packaged in contact with an acid aqueous medium. These wet tissues or cleansing products are normally stored in sealed packages until used, thus requiring that they maintain their strength during storage and use and yet be readily disposable when flushed in plain water without clogging of typical plumbing and toilet equipment. Various binders and processes for the manufacture of premoistened paper products have been proposed in the prior art. Thus, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,117,187 to James W. Adams discloses a premoistened wipe prepared through use of an acid-insoluble, alkali-soluble polymeric polycarboxylic acid and functional derivative thereof wherein the acid is dissolved in water and enough alkali is added to substantially neutralize all acidic groups prior to application to the fiber web. The binder saturated web is dried and then immersed in a low pH medium to effect an association reaction between the carboxylic group and the cellulose of the web, presumably through hydrogen bonding. These hydrogen bonds provide a reasonably strong linkage in acidic medium and yet will break-up when the wipe is immersed in a sufficiently high pH liquid medium. Canadian Pat. No. 948,802 to David V. Duchane discloses a non-woven fibric wrapper from rayon fabric formed by conventional wet lay or dry lay processes which is first treated with a cold water soluble polyvinyl alcohol binder, e.g. by spraying, and then oversprayed with a solution of gelling or insolubilizing agent such as borax, to crosslink at least the surface area of the polymer binder before heating to dry to give a water resistant web. Thus Duchane utilizes the complexing reaction between borax and polyvinyl alcohol under heating to give wet strength in an acidic moist environment and yet disposability through dissociation of the polyvinyl alcohol-borax complex upon soaking in excess neutral water. This complexing reaction between borax and polyvinyl alcohol is similar to complexing between boric acid and polyvinyl alcohol as disclosed in R. F. Nickerson in Appl. Polymer Science 15, 111, (1971). Canadian Pat. No. 1,109,758 to Gerald Miller similarly discloses the use of the reaction of a polyvinyl alcohol binder and boric acid or soluble salts thereof to form complexes having di-diols cross-linkages which are of a gel nature for binding the web. As disclosed in the above mentioned article of R. F. Nickerson, the borate ion is the effective crosslinking agent for the polyvinyl alcohol, and boric acid, at concentrations greater than 0.03 M as in Miller's patent, contributes sufficient amounts of borate ions to provide a gel type complex for binding the web as in the above mentioned Canadian patent of Duchane. Canadian Pat. No. 1,104,026 to Daniel et al. discloses the use of a dried emulsion of a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer binder containing cold water soluble polyvinyl alcohol as a protective colloid with boric acid, which is used to temporarily insolubilize the binder. The polyvinyl acetate or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers have no known reaction with boric acid. It is the presence of the polyvinyl alcohol in the emulsion as protective colloid which forms a complex with the boron ions of the boric acid in the same manner as taught in the above patents of Duchane and Miller. The instant invention has, through the use of a unique glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol copolymer binder for pre-moistened paper products, achieved a substantially higher wet strength wiper when wetted in acidic medium than that achieved with prior art binders, as shown in comparison examples, and yet which maintains equal or better disposability in neutral pH water. A premoistened towelette or wiper type paper product having high wet strength when stored in an acidic pH medium and during usage and lower wet strength when immersed in a neutral or alkaline pH medium for disposal in conventional sewage systems comprising a non-woven fibrous web which is treated with an improved polymeric binder comprising a copolymer of glyoxal and polyvinyl alcohol which maintains high wet strength when stored for sustained periods of time in acidic pH wetting medium conventionally used for external cleansing of the human body and during usage and yet which will readily break-up during flushing. This instant invention also comprises a method of treating non-woven fibrous web, such as cellulosic webs with the improved glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol copolymer binder and drying prior to wetting in an acidic, e.g boric acid medium. It is the principal object of this invention to provide a pre-moistened towelette paper product having substantially higher wet strength than prior art towelettes when stored for sustained periods of time in acidic medium and yet which is readily disposed of by flushing in excess neutral pH medium in conventional plumbing and toilet facilities, particularly when used for bathroom or toilet tissue. It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved binder and a method of use thereof in preparing a pre-moistened towelette paper product of improved wet strength. These and other objects of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention. The paper or non-woven fibrous webs of this invention are of the type commonly used in the art of conventional pre-moistened flushable wipe towelettes, wet wipes, fem-wipes, toilet tissue and the like. The fibrous webs are prepared by conventional paper manufacturing processes and are usually formed of a combination of relatively short cellulosic fibers e.g. 1/16 in.--1/2 in., with longer fibers which provide a degree of increased strength for the web. These fibrous materials lack substantial mechanical strength and require adhesive binders distributed uniformly over the web to impart wet strength to the wipes under conditions of storage and use at low pH and yet which will weaken and disintegrate when flushed in neutral or high pH medium. In accordance with this invention, the fibrous web or paper is treated with an improved polymeric binder adhesive formed from the reaction of a polyvinyl alcohol with a dialdehyde, glyoxal, or dialdehyde of the general structure ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl, aryl or cycloalkyl, with or without substitution on the group, e.g glutaraldehyde and 2-hydroxyadipaldehyde, etc., with glyoxal being the preferred dialdehyde, for production of a wipe which has substantially higher wet strength than prior art binder treated wipes when stored and used in a low pH medium and yet which maintains disposability, i.e. disintegrates when disposed of in neutral or high pH medium which is at least equivalent to that of prior art wipes. The improved polymer binder of this invention, which shall hereinafter be described in terms of Applicants' preferred binder, is a copolymer prepared by the reaction of glyoxal, ##STR2## with a hot water soluble polyvinyl alcohol of the form ##STR3## wherein N is the number of repeating structure units to give a glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol copolymer which can be represented by the following structural formula: ##STR4## wherein m, n, x, m' and n' are integers representing the number of repeating structural units. The glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol copolymer of this invention can be applied to the paper or non-woven material in any desired conventional method such as by spraying, immersion, saturation or printing onto the material and then drying by conventional paper drying methods. The web is cut to the desired size, either prior to or after treatment with the binder, and the binder treated webs are then wetted with a low pH medium having a pH which is within acceptable limits for use on the body. The binder treated web can be either prewetted and packaged in a sealed package as in the case of towelettes, or folded and packaged wet in contact with a low pH aqueous medium in a sealed package until used. The acid medium used in the practice of this invention can be any low pH mineral or organic acid medium conventionally used for cleansing skin at pH of 2.0 to 6.0 and more commonly pH 3.0 to 5.5 depending upon the concentration of acid used, such as boric acid, dilute phosphoric acid, fumaric, oxalic, malic, dilute HCl, etc. Boric acid is preferred since wipes in boric acid exhibit improved resulting wet strength over wipes which have been wetted with other low pH wetting medium. Boric acid in aqueous media containing a concentration of from 1-5% boric acid, and preferrably 4-5% boric acid, have been found to give optimum wet tensile strength when used at levels of about 12% boric acid on a dry weight of acid to dry weight of paper/fibrous web. The acid wetting medium may also contain other conventional ingredients such as surface active detergent, humectants, bactericides, emulsifiers and scenting or perfuming agents can also be used without detrimental effect upon the unique binder of this invention. The unique polyvinyl alcohol and glyoxal copolymer binder of this invention is prepared by the condensation reaction of glyoxal and a polyvinyl alcohol in a ratio of from not less than 1:1 to no more than 1:8 by dry weight, with a ratio of 1:1 to 1:4 being preferred. The polyvinyl alcohol used for reaction with glyoxal can be any commercially available polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis ranging from 87 to 99% and viscosities ranging from 4 cps to 70 cps for a 4% solution at 20� C. Polyvinyl alcohols which are hot water soluble with a degree of hydrolysis of 87-89% and a viscosity of 40 cps (4% solution at 20� C.), available for example from Dural Products Limited, Toronto, ONTARIO, CANADA, under the Tradename Covol 9740�, are preferred. The Covol polyvinyl alcohols are available in ranges of hydrolysis of 87-89% (the "97" series in the first two numbers with the last two numbers e.g. "40" being the viscosity in cps. when measured at 4% solid at 20� C.) and 98-99% hydrolysis (the "98" series, with viscosities up to 70 cps.) and have all been found to have utility in preparing the preferred binder of this invention. The preferred glyoxal-polyvinyl alcohol copolymer binder of this invention has a polyvinyl alcohol to glyoxal ratio of 4:1 on a dry weight basis and is prepared with a hot water soluble polyvinyl alcohol with a degree of hydrolysis of 87-89% and a viscosity of 40 cps. at 20� C. for a 4% aqueous solution. The copolymer is conventionally prepared by the following manufacturing procedure which is outlined as follows: ______________________________________MaterialsReactants % by Weight______________________________________1. Water 69.42. Covol 9740 � 6.43. Glyoxal (40% solution) 4.04. Sodium hydroxide (25% solution) 0.25. Water 20.0 100.0______________________________________ A. Set condenser for reflux and return if reactor is used. B. Charge water (1) to reactor. Mix at maximum speed. Heat to 80� C. C. At 80� C., start adding Covol 9740� (2) slowly in small portions to the reactor with mixing to help the dispersion in the warm water. It takes about 20-30 minutes for the complete addition of Covol 9740�. D. Let temperature rise to about 90� C. during and after the addition. Keep at 80�-90� C. with stirring until Covol 9740� (2) has completely dissolved. This will take about 30-45 minutes time. E. After Covol (2) has dissolved, the solution is cooled slowly back to 25�-30� C. with stirring. F. At 25�-30� C., glyoxal 40% (3) is added in slowly with stirring. G. Stirring is continued for another 5 minutes after the addition of glyoxal (3). Then the pH of the solution is adjusted to 5.5-5.7 with sodium hydroxide solution (4). H. After the pH is adjusted, the solution is stirred at 25�-30� C. for another 10 minutes. I. Water (5) is then added and stirred at 25�-30� C. for another 21/2 hours. During this period, Brookfield viscosity is measured every 30 minutes. (LV3/60/25� C.) J. After the stirring period, the batch is screened through 60 mesh screen and can be drummed off. The final product should have the following properties: ______________________________________Brookfield viscosity = 380-480 cps (freshly made)(spindle #3 at 60 rpm at 25� C.)Solid content = 8.0 � 0.5%pH at 25� C. = 5.4- 5.8S.G. at 25� C. = 1.028- 1.032Gardner colour = 1- 2______________________________________ The glyoxalation of polyvinyl alcohol can be carried out at a pH medium ranging from about 1 to 6, while the reaction temperature can vary from about 20� to about 80� C. The reaction time may vary from 20 minutes up to 24 hours until an end point viscosity of the binder solution of from 10 to 1000 cps is reached. The concentration of the final copolymer binder solution can be within the range of 1-10%, depending upon the specific polyvinyl alcohol reactant used. Paper to be treated with the binder described in this invention can be made by conventional papermaking processes. The treatment of paper or other non-woven products by this glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol binder can be made by impregnation, by spraying or by imprinting, depending on the choice of the papermaking companies. Depending on the amount of wet strength required to be imparted onto the paper, the preferable range of resin pick-up level varies from at least 0.5 to 3.0%. The treated paper is then dried by conventional drying processes. Following drying, the treated paper can then be cut to desired size sheets for the intended use. These sheets can be packaged individually or in numbers, preferably in folded form, in moisture-proof containers. The folded and binder treated sheets can be wetted with boric acid solution prior to being placed into the container, or the appropriate amount of boric acid can be injected into the envelopes containing such folded sheets. Preferably, the boric acid needed should be about 12% based on dry weight of acid to dry weight of paper. The preferred concentration of the boric acid used is a 5% solution. The pH of the wetting solution should be in the acidic range, that is below about 6. Various resin pick-up levels are used, depending on the strength required. However, any resin pick-up level of greater than 0.5% should be effective. The pH of the wetting liquid varies from about 3.0 to 5.5 depending on the concentration of the boric acid solution used. The concentration of the boric acid used varies from about 2 to 5% although the preferred concentration is a 5% solution. The amount of this wetting liquid can range from 2 to 20% based on the dry weight of acid to dry weight of paper although a 12% is preferred. Within this permissable range of components and reaction conditions, effective binder solution for pre-moistened tissue paper can be produced. Though the exact mechanism of the function of the unique glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol polymeric binder of this invention is not known, it is believed that the equilibrium of hemi-acetal formation in acidic medium by the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol and the complex formation of this glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol with acid e.g. boric acid is accountable for maintaining the strength of the binder treated web when it is treated for a prolonged period in aqueous medium containing boric acid. This can be shown graphically as follows: ##STR5## The above glyoxalated polyvinylalcohol was used to treat paper and heated to cure. The treated paper was soaked in an acid medium comprised of boric acid solution. The boric acid forms an insoluble complex with the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol in the acidic medium as shown in the following figures. ##STR6## The complex prevented the dissolving and disintegration of the polymer network and therefore retained the strength in the acidic medium. However, in the presence of an excess of water, as in the flushability test conditions, the structure decomposes and the system will break down to provide good flushability properties. The following examples are provided as illustrations of the invention and the preferred embodiments, but are not to be construed as being limiting of the degree of the invention as defined in the appended claims. The polyvinyl alcohol Covol 9740� is chosen to be the polyvinyl alcohol used in this example. Covol is a name for grades of polyvinyl alcohols, manufactured by Dural Product Limited. The "97" series has a degree of hydrolysis of 87-89%, while the last two digits in the number after Covol reflects the viscosity of a 4% aqueous solution at 20� C. of the polyvinyl alcohol. Thus Covol 9740� is a polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis of 87-89% and the viscosity of its 4% aqueous solution is about 40 cps at 20� C. Another grade of Covol is the "98" series. The "98" series polyvinyl alcohols have a degree of hydrolysis of 98-100%. Once again, the last two digits in the number indicate the viscosity of a 4% aqueous solution at 20� C. of the polyvinyl alcohol. 412.5 grams of water were placed in a 3-necked 1 liter flask and stirred. The water was heated to about 80� C. 25 grams of Covol 9740� were added in slowly with stirring. Stirring was continued after the polyvinyl alcohol was added in. After the Covol has completely dissolved, the solution was cooled to 25�-30� C. Then 62.5 grams of 40% glyoxal solution was added in and stirred for 5 minutes. Then the pH of the solution was adjusted to 3.4 with drops of sulfuric acid. (In other cases, sodium hydroxide solution was used to adjust to higher desired pH.) At this stage, additional water might be added to adjust to the required solid. The solution was held at 25�-30� C. until it reached a Brookfield viscosity of 220 cps (LV 2 spindle, 60 rpm at 25� C). The product has the following properties: ______________________________________Brookfield viscosity = 220 cps(LV2/60/25� C.)Solid content = 10%pH at 25� C. = 3.40______________________________________ This example showed that glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol possessed the properties of a binder for the manufacture of pre-moistened paper, i.e., having high initial strength in an acidic wetting medium and the strength drops substantially in neutral water on disposal for flushability. To test this, strips of paper (cut from Whatman Chromatography paper Grade #1 with basis weight of about 80 gm/m2) were saturated in a 4% glyoxalated Covol 9740� solution (made as Example 1) and then dried at 105� C. oven for one hour. The strips of paper (2.8 gm) were then soaked in an acid solution with pH adjusted to 3.5 for over night before testing. Half of the strips were then tested as they were while the other half of the strips were soaked in a water bath (300 ml water at pH 7.2) for one hour before testing. The tensile test was carried out using a Thwing-Albert Electro-hydraulic Tensile Tester model #37-4. An average of 8 tests were reported for each test. The results were as follows: ______________________________________Wet Tensile (lb/20 mm width)Binder Acid used Acid Water Drop inSolution in Soaking Soaked Soaked Wet Tensile______________________________________1:1 glyoxal: citric acid 1.39 � 0.07 0.84 � 0.09 39.57%Covol boric acid 5.85 � 0.16 0.80 � 0.10 86.32%9740 � phosphoric 1.70 � 0.08 0.87 � 0.06 48.82%(dry wt) acid______________________________________ This showed that the polymer binder gave good strength when wetted in an acidic medium. A drop of about 40 to 86% in wet tensile when soaked in neutral water was an indication of good flushability. The following examples demonstrated the preparation of different glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols using different ratio of glyoxal to polyvinyl alcohol with the same type of polyvinyl alcohol. The amount of glyoxal used in these examples varies from 0 to 50% by dry weight compared to the polyvinyl alcohol, Covol 9740�, used. These glyoxalated Covol 9740� were prepared in ways similar to Example 1 and are summarized in Table I. Note that Example 3 has 0% glyoxal added. This means that Example 3 is an 8% Covol 9740� solution. A solution of polyvinyl alcohol has always been included in series of solutions made and tested under the same conditions. This is for comparison purposes and to show the superiority of our glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol systems over the corresponding polyvinyl alcohol system when tested under identical conditions.

These glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols were prepared in manners similar to Example 1 with the exception that the ratio of glyoxal to the polyvinyl alcohol used might be changed. The preparation is summarized in Table II.

The procedure for the preparation of the pre-moistened paper for the test would be described in detail. A new method for observing flushability was also used. In order to demonstrate flushability of the paper, we also tested commercial toilet tissues as references. The flushability of the pre-moistened paper would be demonstrated by comparing with the degree of disintegration of the commercial toilet tissues subjected to the same flushability test. The tissue paper used in the tests was supplied by a commercial paper mill and had the following properties: ______________________________________Thickness (inch) = 0.047 � 0.002Burst strength (lb/in2) = 1.52 � 0.23Dry Tensile (lb/15 mm) = 1.10 � 0.07Brightness (measured by = 79.9 � 0.10reflection meter model670 from Photovolt Corp.)Basis weight (gm/m2) = 25.63______________________________________ The tissue paper was cut into sheets of the size 71/2"�7". The sheets were weighed in an analytical balance before use. The binder solution (diluted to 1%) was sprayed onto the sheets using an air spray gun. It was sprayed in such a way that the binder pick-up was controlled to be the level needed. The paper was then dried for 5 minutes in an 110� C. oven and then conditioned at 22�-25� C. The paper was then re-weighed in the analytical balance to determine the exact pick-up level. Paper sheets with very close resin pick-up levels were grouped and cut into strips of 71/2"�3" with its length parallel to the machine direction of the paper. Each eight of these strips were grouped and rolled and then wetted with 6 ml of the wetting liquid. In all cases in these examples the wetting liquid was 5% boric acid. These wetted strips were sealed in plastic bags for at least over night before testing. The set of paper was then tested as it was by a Thwing-Albert Electro-hydraulic Tensile tester model 37-4. Afterwards, the tested strips were saved for flushability tests. In order to see the flushability performance of the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol system, commercial bathroom tissues were tested using the same procedure. The test results were used as references for comparison when the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol systems were tested by the same method. The commercial toilet tissues used included: "Royale"�, manufactured by Facelle Royale Company of Canada. "New Delsey"� and "Delsey Boutique"�, by the Kimberly Clark Company of Canada. "Cottonelle"�, by Scott Paper of Canada. The procedure of the test was as followed: A 2.5 gm sample of the toilet tissue was weighed out. The sample was soaked in 700 ml of distilled water in a beaker for 1 minute and then stirred for one, two and three minutes, alternating direction every 15 seconds. The stirring was stopped for 30 seconds between each minute of stirring for observation. The degree of disintegration and de-fibering was observed visually during these 30 second stops and at the end of the third minute of stirring. The results of the test showed that "New Delsey"� was the best in disintegration and de-fibering, followed by "Cottonelle"� and "Royale"�, while "Delsey Boutique"� was very poor in disintegration and de-fibering. The results are summarized in Table III. TABLE III______________________________________Flushability Results of Commercial Bathroom Tissues Amount De-Fibered (%) After After AfterBrand 1 Minute 2 Minutes 3 Minutes______________________________________New Delsey � 75 100 100Cottonelle � 50 100 100Royale � 25 75 100Delsey Boutique � 2 20 50______________________________________ Using the same method from above, it was found that tissue paper treated with glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols (Examples 3 to 12) had flushability performance comparable to commercial brands of toilet tissues. The series of glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols using various ratio of glyoxal to Covol 9740� prepared in Example 3 to Example 7 were tested by the above test method. The results are summarized in Table IV. An average of 8 tests were reported in each test.

Flushability tests showed that all these glyoxalated Covol 9740� were just as flushable as the commercial toilet tissue such as "Cottonelle"� and "Royale"�. Glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol prepared in Example 9 was tested against Covol 9700� (Example 8) by a method similar to Example 13. The results are summarized in the following Table V. Once again, an average of 8 tests were reported in each test. Glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol was again shown to be substantially better than polyvinyl alcohol in wet tensile property. TABLE V______________________________________Glyoxalated Covol 9700 � Against Covol 9700 � in TensileStrengthEx- Components Resin Apparentam- Glyoxal:Covol 9700 � Pick-Up Wet Tensileple # (dry weight) (%) (lb/3 in width)______________________________________8 0:1 0.71 0.49 � 0.029 1:2 0.62 0.67 � 0.19______________________________________ Flushability tests showed that these binders were just as flushable as the commercial toilet tissue, "New Delsey"�. Glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol prepared in Examples 11 and 12 were tested against Covol 9840� (as Example 10) by a method similar to Example 13. The results are summarized in Table VI. An average of 8 tests were reported in each test. This again showed that glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol is superior to polyvinyl alcohol when different types of polyvinyl alcohol are used. Flushability tests showed that these binders had flushability performance better than the commercial toilet tissue "Delsey Boutique"� but not as good as "Royale"�. TABLE VI______________________________________Glyoxalated Covol 9840 � Against Covol 9840 � inTensile PerformanceEx- Components Resin Apparentam- Glyoxal:Covol 9840 � Pick-Up Wet Tensileple # (dry weight) (%) (lb/3 in width)______________________________________10 0:1 1.02 � 0.01 7.60 � 0.4111 1:4 1.04 � 0.02 8.30 � 0.5512 1:7 1.04 � 0.02 8.09 � 0.05______________________________________ This example illustrated the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols against an example used as binder solution for the pre-moistened paper in U.S. Pat. No. 4,117,187 in terms of wet tensile performance when wetted in diluted citric acid and when wetted in water. The binder example chosen from the patent was Vinac ASB-516�, a vinyl acetate-crotonic acid copolymer obtained from Air Products and Chemical Company. A binder solution of this Vinac ASB-516� was prepared according to the same procedure as written in Examples 1-4 in the American Can U.S. Pat. No. 4,117,187. According to the procedure, 120 gm of Vinac ASB-516� was stirred with 1025 gm distilled water containing 55 gm of 10% sodium hydroxide solution. 200 gm of the concentrate was mixed with 800 gm of water and was heated and stirred to completely dissolve the polymer to give a 2% binder solution. Paper was then saturated with this binder solution and the different glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol solutions also at 2% binder concentration, dried and tested according to the method similar to Example 2. The results are summarized in Table VII. TABLE VII__________________________________________________________________________Tensile Performance of Glyoxalated Polyvinyl AlcoholAgainst Vinac ASB-516 �, an Example of Binder Solutionfrom U.S. Pat.

No. 4,117,187, Adams claimed styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer to be a binder for pre-moistened wiper (Claim 6). The example here illustrated the comparison of wet tensile performance of glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols against a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer when wetted in acid and in water. A styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, a copolymer claimed to be a binder for pre-moistened wiper by Adams, was obtained from Polysciences Inc. A binder solution was prepared according to the same method described in Example 1-4 of the American Can U.S. Pat. No. 4,117,187. 20 gm of the copolymer were mixed with 980 gm distilled water, stirred and heated until the copolymer was completed dissolved. Paper was then separately saturated with this binder solution, and also the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol solutions, dried and tested according to the method similar to Example 2. The results are summarized in Table VIII. TABLE VIII______________________________________Tensile Performance of Glyoxalated PolyvinylAlcohols Against Styrene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymeras Binder Solution Wet Tensile (lb/20 mm width) DropBinder Acid Soaked Water Soaked in W.T.______________________________________Styrene-Maleic 0.53 � 0.02 0.50 � 0.03 5.66%Anhydride(Polysciences Inc.)Glyoxal:Covol 4.34 � 0.20 1.99 � 0.16 54.35%9870 �(1:1 dry wt)Glyoxal:Covol 3.34 � 0.20 1.53 � 0.07 54.19%9840 �(1:1 dry wt)______________________________________ In order to demonstrate that the glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol and its corresponding polyvinyl alcohol were different in structure, this example showed the solubility difference of the two systems when soaked in water. The systems used in this test included: Example 3: an 8% Covol 9740� solution, and Example 6: an 8% (1:4 dry wt) glyoxalated Covol 9740� solution Films of the two binder solutions were casted separately onto a glass plate using a 3 mil draw down bar. The films were then dried in 110� C. oven for 5 minutes. After drying the films were peeled away from the glass plate. Each of these two dried films was placed separately into a 250 ml jar, each containing 50 ml distilled water. The time taken for the film to drop into the jar and stirred to dissolve completely was recorded. Results showed that: ______________________________________Film of Time to Dissolve Film______________________________________Example 3 15 secondsExample 6 40 seconds______________________________________ This difference in solubility indicated that the two systems were different in structure in order to give different solubility properties. Glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohols prepared in Examples 4 to 7 were tested against polyvinyl alcohol Covol 9740� (Example 3) by a method similar to Example 13 for tensile performance in different concentrations (2.5% and 1.0%) of boric acid as wetting liquid. The results are summarized as follows in Tables IX and X. An average of 8 tests were reported in each test.

Altisource Residential (RESI) reports Q4 revenue $122.2M, consensus $97.88M. CEO Ashish Pandey commented, "During 2014, we demonstrated continued success executing our nonperforming loan and single family rental strategies. Despite the negative headlines surrounding our primary mortgage servicer Ocwen (OCN), our performance has remained strong. We continue to make progress building our portfolio of single family rental homes and resolving NPLs at attractive returns. The strength of our business strategy was further reinforced by our continued ability to access debt capital on favorable terms during the fourth quarter, as we executed our second NPL securitization transaction, amended our repurchase facilities on favorable terms and sold senior bonds retained from our November 2014 securitization in February of 2015."

Comments about Hickey Freeman Ithaca Tortoise:
Product was perfect in and of itself! Good quality, including the lens(Durable Air), beautiful coloring(not too vivid,definitely not dull. When light hits the frame its beautiful). Glasses can pass as unisex. If you have an accurate PD# I believe the frame will fit well, I have a small face but somehow they may have adjusted slightly to fit. My bridge is 16, but with given PD it fit like a 16 (actual frame is 17, I believe the manufacturers just tweaked it a bit for me. I would recommend these glasses, my only downfall is: I need rounder glasses for my squarish features. So, make sure you try 'em before walking out with them. But, these frames reallly can compliment any face.

House-shaped wooden block set
My sister bought this 'Tsumiki' building block set for Ivy for Christmas and it has been completely commandeered by Marlow!! She loves taking off the magnetic top, picking out the little blocks one by one, and making little stacks and towers. She's completely obsessed with it (if she wasn't so cute, I would be so annoyed because I am constantly picking up the blocks and putting them carefully back into the house!).
The Tsumiki set consists of 41 coloured blocks made from eco-friendly beech wood. The magnetic cover comes off and goes back on easily to keep the blocks tidy, and it goes without saying that it's an incredibly pretty toy! (It's available from the lovely online shop, Carousel.)
On a side note, I find it interesting how some kids have such a passion for things so early on. Marlow has always loved emptying out containers and then putting things back in. She loves stacking and unstacking. She even loves taking the magnets off the fridge and then putting them back up again. (She is definitely my daughter, this one. I can already see her obsessive compulsive tendencies coming out!!) : )

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals WRs Jaron Brown and Charles Hawkins getting attention
There is absolutely no mystery about whom the Arizona Cardinals' first three wide receivers will be this season.
Veterans Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Roberts will be joined by second-year man Michael Floyd as Carson Palmer's top three targets.
But there is still a lot of mystery surrounding what players will fill the other receiver spots when the Cardinals break camp.
Two players did their best to gain the attention of the coaching staff during Arizona's 17-0 preseason win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Undrafted rookie free agents Jaron Brown and Charles Hawkins excelled in their first-ever NFL games, combining for nine catches, 132 yards and a touchdown.
Hawkins, who caught just 71 passes in a four-year career at Southern University, was excited about his debut, but is still focusing on improvement.
"It was my first NFL game and I felt like I had a good showing," Hawkins said Sunday. "But I still have to work on a couple of the little things, like my blocking and my assignments.
"I think I had a pretty good game."
Indeed he did. Hawkins had four catches for 92 yards -- a yardage total he matched or exceeded only five times during his college career. The 5-foot-8, 160-pound receiver knows his impressive debut is only one game and that there is much work to be done.
"The opportunity for me here is great, but everyone has that same opportunity," Hawkins said. "You've just got to keep on coming out here and working."
Brown is another one of the receivers trying to take advantage of an opportunity. The former Clemson Tiger caught the first pass thrown to him -- a fade in the end zone from second-string quarterback Drew Stanton -- for a touchdown in the second quarter against Green Bay.
"It was a nice game," Brown said. "It was a great experience, getting out there and getting the nervousness out."
Brown spent much of his college career at Clemson playing in the shadow of receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins. In fact, the 6-foot-2 receiver had only 87 catches during his college days. He's done a lot in camp to emerge from the shadows of the other receivers fighting for a Cardinals roster spot.
Like Hawkins, Brown acknowledges the need to improve to become a more complete NFL receiver.
"I've got to get better with my blocking as well," he said. "Not only that, but run-blocking and getting the correct depth on routes, so that'll come in practice."

Silicon Image Announces New Video Processors For Next-Generation Home Theater Applications
Silicon Image (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider HD connectivity solutions, today announced two new upscaling video processors, designed to also enhance the picture quality of streaming or downloaded Internet video. Both products incorporate Silicon Image's proprietary VRS ® ClearView technology, which performs real-time video format conversion including scaling of SD and HD content to resolutions up to 4Kx2K using adaptive techniques designed to scale both video and graphics. As the industry prepares to make the next transition to ultra-high resolution 4K displays, Silicon Image is at the forefront ─ delivering the technology and product solutions for next-generation consumer electronics (CE) devices with its advanced video processors.
"With the growing trend of streaming media and downloaded Internet video, consumers can instantly view content but often have to sacrifice video quality due to heavy compression," said Alex Chervet, senior director of marketing at Silicon Image, Inc. "Integrating our new video processors with VRS ClearView technology into home theater devices not only improves image quality but provides a future-proof solution so that today's Blu-ray players or A/V receivers can take advantage of tomorrow's 4K displays."
According to market research firm NPD In-Stat, HDMI-enabled Blu-ray player sales are forecast at 51 million units in 2012, growing to 81 million in 2015. This represents an annual growth (CAGR) of 25.7 percent (Source: "DVI and HDMI: DVI Declines While HDMI Soars," November 2011). Blu-ray players and A/V receivers continue to feature leading-edge CE technology innovations. By integrating a video processor with VRS ClearView technology, these devices can improve video quality and deliver a "cinema like" experience as new 4K TVs are introduced on the market.
Silicon Image's new video processors generate significantly improved video quality using VRS ClearView technology to reduce compression noise, remove edge artifacts and enhance detail. In addition, both processors feature integrated HDMI and MHL interfaces. VRS ClearView technology builds on the production-proven VRS video processing technologies developed by Anchor Bay Technologies, which was acquired by Silicon Image in 2011. For more information about Silicon Image's CE product portfolio, please visit: www.siliconimage.com.
These new video processors will be showcased at Silicon Image's demo suite during CEATEC Japan 2012, Oct. 2-5, 2012 in Tokyo, Japan.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

CHICAGO — Former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald commented that the region's transit agencies need to train staff on how to remove politics from hiring, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
