A lamp shade or similar article includes a glow-in-the-dark region with a first side disposed toward a light source so that the light source illuminates the first side and with a second side disposed away from the light source. The glow-in-the-dark region includes a glow-in-the-dark substance that stores energy from illumination and that responds to the stored energy by emitting light in the visible range. A portion of the light emitted by the glow-in-the-dark substance exits from the second sid...

A glow-in-the dark book which contains at least one composite predetermined sheet and phosphorescent material. The phosphorescent material has the ability to glow in the dark after the glow-in-the dark book is subjected to a light source. The glow-in-the dark book can glow in the dark after only a one step exposure process.

A process for bleaching dark fish meat such as skeletal cod threshings. The fish is bleached in the undissolved state at ambient temperature with a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide at a pH of 10.5 to 11.5. Residual hydrogen peroxide is subsequently removed from the separated bleached fish by, for example, treatment with an aqueous solution of catalase at a pH of 7.5 to 8.0. The pH of the fish is finally adjusted to a value of from 6 to 7, that is, the pH of natural fish, by washing i...

An apparatus has an image sensing device, an instruction device for instructing to execute a plurality of image sensing operations with different image sensing times of the image sensing device, and a signal processing device for performing a first image sensing operation for making the image sensing device perform an image sensing operation in an exposure state to obtain a sensed image signal, and a second image sensing operation for making the image sensing device perform an image sensing oper...

An apparatus for deboning a chicken leg includes a conveyor for holding the leg by the hock, a plunge knife device for severing the knee joint and pulling the femur from the thigh meat, a cutting device for severing the tendons at the hock of the leg, and a scraper for pulling the drumstick meat along the tibia and fibia toward the knee. The scraping mechanism includes a laterally movable carriage supporting at least one pair of jaws having notches along their edges to clear the leg bones, a fir...

To provide a deboning apparatus which can treat a " "-shaped boned dark meat composed of upper leg dark meat portion and lower leg dark meat portion, so as to decompose the dark meat into meat and bone. The apparatus has a straightening device for straightening a " "-shaped boned dark meat, a first conveyor device for conveying the straightened boned dark meat along a predetermined path; a plurality of bone spaced bone pressing members arranged along the path of convey by the first conveyor devi...

A pigmented phosphor is prepared by coating phosphor particles with a coating of finely powdered carbon and colloidal silica.

A dark-colored freeze dried coffee is produced by using a multi-step process to freeze the coffee extract. The coffee extract is chilled to a temperature at which an ice slush forms. The slushed extract is heated in order to melt some of the slush and subsequently re-chilled. This procedure may be repeated one or more times prior to chilling the extract below its eutectic point and freeze drying the frozen extract.

A control device includes a control mechanism for eliminating an effect of dark current generated in a CCD which may be, for example, provided in a still video system operated in a frame mode. The control mechanism controls the imaging device in such a manner that, after an aperture is closed, the imaging device outputs an image signal from a first field and an image signal from a second field, and then outputs data from a third field corresponding to a dark current component. The control mechan...

An electro-optical signal storing device is disclosed and more particularly, an improved "dark-trace" cathode ray storage tube. A cathode ray tube structure is provided having a cathodochromic viewing screen with a thin phosphor layer on its back surface. An electron gun produces an electron beam which is modulated by an input signal. Voltage is applied to the accelerating anode of the tube to allow the beam to penetrate the phosphor layer and darken the cathodochromic screen in the regions dete...
