CASSI

An interesting application of the Cassie equation (X-27) arises in the case of a screen or woven material where now /2 is the fraction of open area, ys2V is zero and ys2L is simply YLV- The relationship then becomes...

There are three major steps to a patent search. (1) There is the US Patent Classification System that is a sort of subject index to all patents, (2) CASSIS is a computerized software information system provided by the USA patent office, and (3) review the patent that takes time involves the weekly official worldwide gazettes, magazines, etc. There are many ways available to search the patent database in both US and worldwide, but one web that is particularly useful to the novice or occasional searcher is one offered by IBM locate at http //www patents.IBM.com... 

A midpriced bottle of Champagne or a similar sparkling wine, eighteen dollars or so, is a useful economy, too, served as kir royales, with the addition of a fruit liqueur like creme de cassis or creme de framboise. You can look for less likely, more exotic flavors, like creme de peche, which is peach, or creme de mure, blackberry. It s a nice touch to have a bar stocked with an interesting variety. With white wine, they make a good rotation of aperitifs year-round.

Once the complete title is known, the journal can easily be obtained if it is in the library customarily used by the chemist. If not, one must use another library, and the next step is to find out which libraries carry the journal. CASSI answers this question too, since it carries a list of some 360 libraries in the United States and other countries, and for each journal it tells which of these libraries carries it, and furthermore, if the holdings are incomplete, which volumes of that journal are carried by each library. It may be possible to visit the closest library personally. If not, a copy of the article can usually be obtained through interlibrary loan. The CASSI also includes lists of journal publishers, sales agents, and document depositories. Photocopies of most documents cited in CA can be obtained from chemical Abstracts Document Delivery Service, Customer Services, 2540 Olentangy River Road, Columbus OH, 43210, USA. Orders for documents can be placed by mail, telephone. Telex, fax, or online through STN or other services.
