摘要： A protective enclosure is disclosed for an interactive flat-panel control device. The protective enclosure is watertight, crush-resistant, and impact-resistant. An electrical adapter may disposed within the protective enclosure and covered with an elastomeric covering that permits a connector of the adapter to flex with respect to the lower shell of the enclosure so that the connector may easily be inserted into an interface jack of the electronic device. The elastomeric covering also provides a watertight seal that enables the protective enclosure to be submersibly watertight. While providing protection, the protective enclosure simultaneously allows smooth and accurate interaction with the interactive flat-panel controlled device. The protective enclosure has a protective membrane that permits RF and touch screen stylus inputs, as well as capacitance, such as from a finger, to be transmitted accurately to the flat-panel control. The hardness and texture of the protective membrane allows a stylus or finger to glide smoothly along the surface of the membrane without catching or sticking. The protective enclosure is further adapted to allow infrared and other communication signals while the device is secured inside the case. Further, electrical connections can be made through the case without affecting the protection afforded the electronic device inside. The protective enclosure may have a removable cable management belt clip that has a flange that retains and prevents entangling of an accessory cable for the interactive flat-panel control device.

摘要： A protection circuit for use with a charger and a chargeable element, such as a rechargeable lithium ion battery, comprises a shunt regulator having a threshold ON voltage coupled in parallel across the chargeable element, and a temperature-dependent resistor, e.g., a positive temperature coefficient device, coupled in series between the charger and the chargeable element. The temperature dependent resistor is thermally and electrically coupled to the shunt regulator, wherein the first variable resistor limits current flowing through the shunt regulator if the current reaches a predetermined level less than that which would cause failure of the regulator, due to ohmic heating of the regulator.

摘要： A photographic element is disclosed comprising a silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith an acetanilide based yellow dye forming coupler and a compound of the following Formula I: wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each independently aromatic, cyclic, linear, or branched chained hydrocarbon groups. The invention provides photographic elements which exhibit exceptional yellow dye light stability, and which retain desirable properties derived from the use of acetanilide based yellow dye-forming couplers, particularly when used in combination with substituted phenolic and/or thiomorpholine dioxide stabilizers. In addition to stabilizing properties, compounds of Formula I have organic solvent properties, and accordingly may be advantageously used partly or totally in place of conventional high boiling permanent and/or auxiliary organic coupler solvents to disperse the acetanilide-based couplers.

摘要： A photographic element is disclosed comprising a support bearing at least one light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising a dispersion of a dye-forming coupler and a water-insoluble polymer, wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than 75.degree. C. and is formed from at least 30 wt % monomer units which provide the polymer with functional groups that are hydrogen bond donors. The combination of such relatively low T.sub.g polymers with couplers in photographic elements leads to both decreased pressure sensitivity and improved image-dye light stability, as well as a decreased tendency toward dye smear or thermal induced change. The advantages of the invention are particularly useful for yellow coupler dispersions used in photographic color paper elements on reflective supports, although they will also be useful for motion picture print film and other projection or display films on transparent or diffuse supports.
