摘要:
An imaging system with an imaging mechanism which includes polarization analyzers, which may be crossed polarization analyzers, positioned to provide birefringence images of particles in the fluid passing through the flow chamber. Captured images are of high resolution and may be used in comparison to known images of a library of images. The system and related method enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of particle monitoring by utilizing birefringence imaging combined with particle analysis and the detection of each particle's characteristic features, such as crystalline features. The system includes a scatter detector used to trigger backlighting of the flow chamber and capture images of particles therein.

Systems and methods related to a packaging system having a blister pack sandwiched between a plurality of protective layers. One or more protective layers disposed above the blister pack may include perforations running along the perimeter region. A child attempting to separate the protective layers from the blister pack may only be able to strip away the perimeter region thereby securing the blister pack.

Disclosed is a covering system that includes plural supports and a cable. The cable may be advanced or retracted. The cable is connected, preferably by a fixed support, to a portion of the cover, whereby the cover may be advanced or retracted by moving the cable. At least some, preferably all, of the supports other than the terminal support are disposed in collars, the collars for the non-connected supports being threaded onto the cable. The collars and supports may be decoupled to permit removal of a support without the need to un-thread the collar and without the need to disturb other supports. The collars include plural separable cable sleeve portions that may be decoupled from one another to permit removal of the collar from the cable without un-threading the cable from other supports.

The present invention pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink, preferably white in color, comprising a polymerically dispersed titanium dioxide and a crosslinked polyurethane binder. The invention also pertains to an ink set with an aqueous white ink as one of its inks. The invention also pertains to a method of inkjet printing with the ink and ink set. The use of the dispersed titanium dioxide and crosslinked polyurethane binder described herein results in inkjet inks having adequate stability, and having a particular utility in printing on textiles.

An optical system includes a curved window, an optical corrector adjacent to a curved inner surface of the window, an optical train positioned such that the optical corrector lies between the curved window and the optical train, a movable optical train support upon which the optical train is mounted, and a sensor disposed to receive an optical ray passing sequentially through the window, the optical corrector, and the optical train. The optical corrector has an inner surface and an outer surface, at least one of which has a shape described by a modified Zernike polynomial surface.
摘要:
An apparatus for securing together two elongated members, such as rope, at two portions thereof including a friction increasing member interposed between adjacent sides of the two portions and a heat shrinkable tube surrounding the two portions. A normally dry, heat activated adhesive is coated on the interior surface of the tube or on the two portions of the elongated members to adhere the heat shrinkable tube to the elongated members. In instances where only small stresses are encountered by the connecting apparatus, the friction member is eliminated.
