Certain embodiments of the present invention provide Credit Grantors with an alternative to warehousing or the selling of aged accounts receivables. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide Creditors immediate cash for their accounts receivables placed on lease, shifts the cost, liabilities and collection efforts to a third party and still allows the Creditor to maintain ownership and oversight over the collection process. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a non-recourse lease that may eliminate financial responsibility on the part of the Creditor. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a residual payment back to the creditor that may allow the Creditor to share in the collection proceeds. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide monthly reporting to keep the Creditor informed as to collection results and to allow collection data to be used in analysis of the Creditor's credit policies, as well as other data mining jobs.

An improved fountain solution and viscosity control thereof is disclosed for lithographic printing using dampening systems of the continuous type, such as a Dahlgren system. The fountain solution utilizes a viscosity imparting or thickening agent for viscosity control, such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, to effect a desired viscosity. A thickened solution is prepared, and this solution is added to an aqueous solution including an ionic etch to provide a fountain solution having a viscosity of between about 20 seconds and about 22 seconds as measured in a #1 Shell cup.

A pollution control system is disclosed wherein condensable pollutants are removed from a high-temperature gas stream by counterflow contact in a vertical tower with downwardly flowing, relatively cool absorbent oil. The absorbent is at a sufficiently low temperature so as to rapidly condense a portion of the pollutants in order to form a fog of fine droplets of pollutant entrained by the gas stream, which fog is incapable of being absorbed by the absorbent. The remainder of the condensable pollutants is removed by downwardly flowing absorbent oil, and the gas and entrained fog are directed from the tower to gas/droplet separation means, such as an electrostatic precipitator. The fog is thereby separated from the gas and substantially pollutant-free gas is discharged to the atmosphere.

Colored organic solid particles of potential value as pigments are partially milled to an extent less than that required to develop full pigmentary strength by size reduction and further conditioned concurrently with a flushing step. The organic pigment particles are transferred from an aqueous dispersion to an organic hydrophobic vehicle in the presence of an organic breaching agent. The resulting flushed pigmented vehicle has pigmentary strength at least equal to that obtained by fully conditioning the crude particles without the breaching treatment. The conditioned pigments need not be recovered as a dry powdered product. The process is valuable in the manufacture of flushed phthalocyanines, quinacridones, etc. , with substantial improvement in equipment utilization in milling. The flushed pigmented vehicles are useful in manufacture of paints, varnishes, lacquers, inks, color concentrates, and formulations for mass coloration of plastics.
