Two-color images are created in a single pass by forming an electrostatic image having three levels of electrostatic potential, low, intermediate and high. Toner of a first color is applied to the image in the presence of an electric field urging the toner toward one of the levels of potential. A second toner is applied to the electrostatic image having a second color, but of the same polarity as the first toner, in the presence of a second electric field urging the second toner both toward the areas that have been toned by the first toner and toward one of the other levels of potential. If the first toner is of a dark color and is used for text and the second color is the light color used for highlighting, a quality two-color image can be made in a single pass using toners of the same polarity.

Preformed, water-soluble, acrylamide based copolymers comprising a minor proportion of a comonomer, which comonomer contains a site for a crosslinking reaction with a selected crosslinking agent by a reaction that does not involve a free-radical vinyl addition mechanism, which copolymers have M.sub.w and M.sub.n values within selected ranges, can be conveniently and safely used to prepare electrophoresis gel media in situ.

Polymeric electrophoresis media

A polyacrylamide type gel medium for electrophoresis is conveniently and safely prepared prior to use by crosslinking a water-soluble copolymer of an acrylamide monomer and at least one comonomer copolymerizable therewith, which comonomer contains an active methylene group that will enter into a crosslinking reaction that does not involve a free radical vinyl addition mechanism.

Method and device for treating angina pectoris and preventing tolerance to nitrate drugs which takes into account the frequent need to provide the patient with relief from or prevention of pre-waking or early morning angina. The treatment comprises administering a daily unit dose of the nitrate before bedtime in a dosage form that (1) provides a washout period of 3 to 12 hours by sufficiently retarding delivery of the nitrate to the patient during the washout period so as to provide a rate of delivery of nitrate from the patch that is so low as to be insufficient to cause tolerance to said nitrate in said patient; (2) at the end of the washout period and at least 30 minutes before the patient expects to awaken, initiates an effective delivery period during which the dosage form provides an initial effective delivery rate sufficient to provide an antianginally effective concentration of nitrate in the blood stream of the patient; and (3) thereafter, during a ramp-up delivery period, delivers the nitrate at an increasing rate until a final delivery rate is achieved, which is from 125% to 1,000% of the initial effective delivery rate. At the end of the ramp-up period, delivery is exhausted or otherwise terminated. A new unit dose is administered at bedtime, and the cycle is repeated. A preferred transdermal patch for carrying out the treatment is provided.

Nitrate therapy for angina pectoris

A polyacrylamide type gel medium for electrophoresis is conveniently and safely prepared prior to use from a kit which comprises (1) a water-soluble copolymer of an acrylamide monomer and at least one comonomer copolymerizable therewith, which comonomer contains functional groups that permit crosslinking of said copolymer by a covalent but non-free radical initiated mechanism; and (2) a selected crosslinking agent in a package that separates it from the copolymer. Optionally, additional materials that may be usefully incorporated in the gel may be included in the kit, for example, a selected electrophoresis buffer and a complexing agent, such as SDS. The kit is used to prepare the gel by forming a solution of the copolymer in deionized water at the desired concentration of copolymer, adding a sufficient amount of any optional ingredients to provide the desired concentrations thereof, adding such concentration of the crosslinking agent as will provide a gelation time of between about 5 minutes and about 15 hours, and pouring the so prepared reaction mixture into a preselected mold or casting device or onto a support so as to form the resulting gel into the desired shape and size.
