Abstract:
An inflatable water slide has an inflatable main section of an inflatable ramp section, formed as an inflatable channel for receiving users and inflatable retaining sidewall members formed on the left and right side of the inflatable channel, and an inflatable ladder section, having rope ladder rungs. Also, one pair of inflatable stabilizing chamber members attached to each opposite left and right side of the inflatable main section. The pair of stabilizing chamber members are a separately inflatable and deflatable. The inflatable stabilizing chambers stabilize the inflatable main section, and an attachment for a water hose, the attachment holding a water hose to allow a flow of water from the water hose to begin at an apex of the inflatable main section and end at a bottom end of the ramp section.
Abstract:
A high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsion is prepared by creating grain nuclei containing greater than 45 mole percent bromide. Growth onto the grains under conditions favorable for high chloride {100} grain growth is conducted while maintaining (a) a temperature in the range of from 25 to 85.degree. C., (b) a pH in the range of from 3.5 to 8.5, and (c) a vAg in the range of from 120 to 200 mV. Crystal lattice field distortions are observed at the nucleation site, and the nucleation site exhibits the maximum bromide concentration, which is greater than 5 mole percent, based on silver at the site.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for preparing high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsions containing crystal lattice dislocations in peripheral regions of the tabular grains. In the initial step of the process a radiation-sensitive high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsion is produced to provide host grains. Lateral growth lateral growth of the {100} major surfaces of the tabular grains is extended by precipitating a high chloride peripheral region onto the host tabular grains. After the host grains have been provided an iodide ion source compound with a maximum second order reaction rate constant within the dispersing medium of less than 1.times.10.sup.3 mole.sup.-1 sec.sup.-1 is introduced into the host emulsion to release iodide ions for incorporation into the tabular grains at their peripheral edges by chloride ion displacement. In the resulting emulsion 10 or more crystal lattice dislocations extending inwardly from the peripheral edges of the {100} tabular grains are observed. The dislocations in the peripheral and, particularly, corner regions of the tabular grains increase their sensitivity.
Abstract:
A cubic perovskite crystal structure is disclosed satisfying the unit cell formula:R.sub.0.33+z A.sub.0.67 C.sub.1-y O.sub.3-xwhereR, A and C represent rare earth, alkaline earth and copper atoms, respectively, capable of forming a superconductive R.sub.1 A.sub.2 C.sub.3 orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure;x is 0.67 to 1.0;y is up to 0.2; andz is up to 0.1.The crystal structure can be used to form superconductive superlattices and weak links for Josephson junction devices. The crystal structure can be produced by laser ablation deposition at a temperature below that required for the formation of a superconductive R.sub.1 A.sub.2 C.sub.3 orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure. The crystal structure can be used as a substrate for the subsequent deposition of an R.sub.1 A.sub.2 C.sub.3 orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure.
Abstract:
A hopscotch trampoline has a trampoline with a bed suspended across a trampoline frame. The bed has a bed center, a bed middle, and a bed periphery. A trampoline length is greater than a trampoline width. A hopscotch field is formed on the bed. The hopscotch field includes successive areas. The successive areas are at least partially linearly oriented. Contact sensors mounted on each area and the contact sensors are electrically connected by an electrical connection and electrically connected to a control panel harness. A middle crossbar can extend underneath the bed and connecting a right vertical post to a left vertical post.
Abstract:
A trampoline has a trampoline frame, springs connecting to the trampoline frame, a trampoline bed, and spring connectors formed on the trampoline bed at a bed edge of the trampoline bed. The spring connectors connect to the springs. A link retainer is formed on the spring connector. The link retainer has a link opening and a link notch. An outer cover has a hook opening and a strap slot. The outer cover covers the link retainer. The hook opening of the outer cover aligns with the link notch of the link retainer, and the strap slot aligns with the link opening of the outer cover.
Abstract:
