A method for providing intelligible markings that are virtually invisible to the unaided eye on the surface of an article, comprises: applying onto the surface, by a jet printing process, a marking medium comprising a compatible liquid or viscous substance containing an organic laser dye (typically IR-125 in a concentration of about 0.005 to 0.05 percent by weight of the medium) that is poorly absorptive of radiation in the visible range of about 400 to 700 nanometers, is highly absorptive of ra...

An imaging material providing device of the present invention comprises: means for carrying imaging material particles charged to a first polarity, the imaging material carrying means having a portion formed of elastic material for holding the imaging material particles; means for receiving imaging material particles, the imaging material carrying means being disposed apart from the imaging material carrying means with a gap therebetween and being charged to a second polarity opposite to the fir...

A foldable shutter for protecting sliding glass doors from storms and break-ins is formed of vertical panels hinged together. The panels are extruded with full length beads on both sides and are held together by long extruded hinge clips having separate channels into which beads of adjacent panels fit. These hinge clips are substantially longer than the panels and the ends are closed by closure members having pins extending into the channel and spacing the panels from the ends. These closure mem...

A method for providing an inlay on a substrate includes providing a recess in the substrate, preheating the substrate to a temperature of approximately 150.degree. F., mixing an epoxy resin with an epoxy hardener, and placing the mixture into the recess so that the mixture hardens in the recess and the heat stored in the substrate reduces the viscosity of the mixture, to aid in the removal of bubbles.

The present invention relates to a method for providing a patient with neuroprotective effect, which consists in administering modafinil to said patient.

A method of manufacture of a badge and badge finding comprises the provision of a backer body with an S-shaped cavity into which is inserted an S-shaped portion of a pin. A double-sided adhesive cover is applied to the backer body to cover the cavity and thereby prevent the S-shaped portion of the pin from leaving the cavity. A liner covers the adhesive on the outer side of the cover. When the badge finding is to be fastened to an article such as a badge body, the liner is removed and the expose...

In an image recording apparatus of this invention, a high voltage is applied to a blade for scratching a brush roller on which the toner particles are supported. The high voltage applicator is installed in an image recording apparatus which supplies toner particles in the vicinity of a particle control electrode so as to form a mist of toner particles by scratching a brush roller on which the toner particles are supported. The particle control electrode includes apertures allowing passage of ton...

A method is provided for treating cataracts and other eye diseases, and includes the use of photopolymerizable compositions for preparing an intraocular-lens filling material which is used during an operation with an inserted intraocular-lens shell. The photopolymerizable compositions contain the following components: a) 90-99.99% by weight, preferably 94-99.799% by weight of at least one at least difunctional acrylic and/or methacrylic acid ester, b) 0.01-5% by weight, preferably 0.1-2% by weig...

There is disclosed a method for providing an antistatic layer containing a water-soluble conductive polymer and a curing agent on a plastic film by coating, which comprises coating an aqueous processing solution containing the water-soluble conductive polymer and the curing agent on the plastic film to have a pH of the surface of the antistatic layer after drying the plastic layer of 8.5 or less and 2.5 or more.

The monolithic hybrid LED array includes a metal heat sink substrate, a ceramic layer on the substrate, and a plurality of series-connected epitaxially-formed LEDs connected by interconnects such as conductive ink strips. The array preferably includes three to six sets of series-connected LEDs that are tightly packed on the substrate. The LEDs are housed in a modular housing having a power regulating circuit and an override feature for overriding the regulator to produce the maximum LED output f...
