For years one glass microfiber filter has been the filter of choice for pollution sampling and monitoring procedures in the U.S.A.: Reeve Angel 934-AH. Now Reeve Angel 934-AH is Whatman 9 3 4 - A H . Only the package has changed. Whatman 934-AH glass mi crofibre filters are in every way identical to ( Ξ ) the former Reeve Angel 934-AH filters. And are available from laboratory supply dealers in the same sizes and with the same characteristics. Reeve Angel 934-AH Whatman 934-AH.

An agreement has recently been reached between Chemical A b stracts S e r v i c e and the Internation al Patent D o c u m e n t a t i o n Center (INPADOC), in Austria, for acquiring and compiling information on patents. Currently, I N P A D O C receives and standardizes information from 46 na tional p a t e n t offices and two interna tional organizations and compiles t h e m on a computer d a t a base. Under the new agreement, CAS will receive weekly computer-readable updates from the INPADOC files. These updates will be used, in conjunction with an INPADOC backfile acquired earlier, to identify patents for ab stracting in Chemical Abstracts and t o compile the CA Patent Concor dance. Under the terms of the agree m e n t the Concordance will no longer be issued in computer-readable form, b u t it will continue to be available as p a r t of the weekly, semiannual, and five-year collective indexes to Chemi cal Abstracts.
