摘要:
A preform for use in a system for simultaneously forming and filling a container. The preform includes a finish region, a stretch initiation region adjacent to and descending from the finish region, a transition region adjacent to and descending from the stretch initiation region, a body region adjacent to and descending from the transition region, and an end cap region enclosing an end of the body region to define an interior for receiving a forming fluid. The stretch initiation region defines a wall thickness less than a wall thickness of the body region to encourage initial localized stretching in response to the forming fluid prior to stretching within the transition region or body region.

An apparatus and method for simultaneously forming and filling a plastic container is provided. A mold having a mold cavity defines an internal surface and is adapted to accept a preform. A pressure source is operable to draw liquid through the inlet and urge it into the preform. A blow nozzle may be adapted to receive the liquid from the pressure source and transfer the liquid at high pressure into the preform thereby urging the preform to expand toward the internal surface of the mold cavity and create a resultant container. A pressure compensation system can exert a clamping force on the mold in response to the pressure source. The liquid remains within the container as an end product.

A detention facility lighting fixture includes an elongate unibody housing having a flat back wall, four sidewalls including symmetrically sloped and opposed lengthwise sidewalls and trapezoidally shaped end sidewalls, at least one top wall, and welded seams at each of four corners, a door having a lens frame, a lens, and at least two Z-channels securing the lens to the lens frame, and a hinge secured to the housing, where the door and housing are adapted so that the top surface of the door, when closed, is essentially flush with the at least one top wall. A method includes providing a lighting fixture having a unibody housing with a flat back portion and beveled sidewalls, the housing being structured to receive a lens-holding door, and sealing a perimeter of the lighting fixture to the wall or ceiling with a continuous bead of security caulk.

摘要:
A reflectivity absorption system for identifying a target precious or semi-precious material can include a detector, a filter system, and an output display. The detector system is capable of detecting a reflected electromagnetic radiation at a primary wavelength and a secondary wavelength. The reflected electromagnetic radiation can be produced from sunlight or other light source. The primary wavelength corresponds to an upper reflectivity of the target material while the secondary wavelength corresponds to a lower reflectivity of the target material. Reflectivity is a function of wavelength such that identifiable variations in wavelength can be observed for certain materials over specific wavelength ranges which are then compared to a known standard reflectivity response for the indicated wavelengths. These systems can be used in portable, handheld, or stationary configurations and can identify exposed target materials in real-time.
