A glass processing method comprising steps (i), (ii) carried out in the order mentioned. In step (i), a laser pulse (11) with a wavelength λ is condensed by a lens and is applied to a glass plate (12) to form an altered portion (13) at the portion, irradiated with a laser pulse (11), of the glass plate (12). In step (ii), the altered portion (13) is etched by using an etchant having an etching rate larger for the altered portion (13) than that for the glass plate (12). The laser beam used includes the following conditions: The pulse width of a laser pulse (11) ranges from ins to 200 ns, with a wavelength λ being up to 535 nm. The absorption coefficient of the glass plate (12) at a wavelength λ is up to 50 cm⁻¹. A value obtained from a lens focal distance L (mm) divided by the beam diameter D (mm) of the laser pulse (11) when entering the lens is at least 7.

The invention relates to a method by which a mold for casting, such as metal casting, of dental prostheses is prepared, with the step of: preparing the mold on the basis of mold model data with a CAM/CAD method. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the determination of a shape of a mold for casting, such as metal casting, of dental prostheses with the step of: creating mold model data describing the shape of the mold.

A solid electrolyte structure (1) for all-solid-state batteries includes a plate-like dense body (2) formed of a ceramic that includes a solid electrolyte, and a porous layer (3) formed of a ceramic that includes a solid electrolyte that is the same as or different from the solid electrolyte of the dense body (2), the porous layer (3) being integrally formed on at least one surface of the dense body (2) by firing. The solid electrolyte structure can reduce the contact resistance at the interface between the solid electrolyte and an electrode.

Components resolved in time by a separator accumulate in a sample cell and are analyzed by electromagnetic radiation-based spectroscopic techniques. The sample cell can be configured for multiple path absorption and can be heated. The separator can be a gas chromatograph or another suitable device, for example a distillation-based separator. The method and system described herein can include other mechanical elements, controls, procedures for handling background and sample data, protocols for species identification and/or quantification, automation, computer interfaces, algorithms, software or other features.

An imaging device includes a light source layer having imaging light source units for radiating the imaging light containing a first wavelength on an object to be imaged, a detection layer having detection elements for detecting the light of the first wavelength radiated from the light source units, and a light-blocking unit interposed between the light source layer and the detection layer. The light source layer is held between the detection layer and the object to be imaged. The light-blocking unit is arranged in such a manner as to block the direct radiation of at least part of the light radiated from the light source units to the detection elements.

A seating system designed to accommodate a variety of activities that can be performed while a person is sitting or resting, and more particularly waiting. A single tandem row of seats or a back to back configuration of tandem seats has an electrical wire way extending behind or between each seat back, respectively. A cover plate encloses the wire way, and a plurality of electrical and data ports are accessible from the cover plate. Laptop computers, music players and other electrical devices can be plugged into the seating system so that the user can comfortably operate such a device while waiting.

The invention contemplates to provide a die insert for an extruder, which can suppress the motions of cords at a rubber topping time to improve the disturbance of the cord array pitch of a topping sheet drastically thereby to improve the homogeneity and quality of the topping sheet. In the die insert 1 for the extruder, cord slots 11 are provided at their exit portions with flat faces 14 having channels 11a leading to the cord slots 11 at a die insert leading end portion 12, and the channels 11a for passing a cord array 21 are formed open in the flat faces 14. The channels 11a in the flat faces 14 preferably have a ratio of L/D of 1 to 20 between their open length (L) and diameter (D), and the flat faces 14 are preferably formed to have a step S between the surface side and the back side of the cord array 21.

A bag for containing a fluid and dispensing the fluid into an article, the article defining a fluid receiving aperture. The bag includes a substantially deformable body, the body defining a cavity for containing the fluid; a substantially rigid dispensing portion, the dispensing portion including an inlet, an outlet and a passageway extending therebetween, the inlet being in fluid communication with the cavity; and a closing portion extending across the dispensing portion for blocking the latter, the closing portion being puncturable by the article to allow the fluid to flow from the cavity to the fluid receiving aperture through the inlet, the passageway and the outlet.

An article support assembly includes a stretch releasable adhesive strip having an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive pull tab portion, and a unitary article support member arranged over at least a portion of the adhesive portion of the stretch releasable adhesive strip. The article support member and pull tab are configured so that when the article support member is mounted on a surface using the stretch releasable adhesive strip, the pull tab remains exposed but is visually inconspicuous.

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, an intermediate transferring body and a contact type secondary transferring member transferring an image from the intermediate transferring body to a recording medium. The apparatus forms an image with respective developers for multiple colors and uses a predefined adjustment pattern to make density adjustment and position adjustment of respective color images. After execution of the density adjustment and/or the position adjustment, a stain prevention pattern is formed with a yellow developer to cover an area where the adjustment pattern is attached to the secondary transferring member.

A passive reflective device provides a warning or message visible when the intensity of light incident on the device exceeds a preselected minimum intensity or threshold value. The device includes a display, in the form of statements, pictographs, or images, with an appearance which is altered in color or pattern when impinged upon by light with an intensity greater than the threshold value and viewed by a viewer in front of the device. The device can be used as a sign or stationary display, such as a road sign, or it can be mounted on or in a front vehicle facing behind the vehicle such that the display is visible from behind the vehicle by someone who is within a preselected range of angles. The device can be mounted on the bumper or body of the vehicle, and the display can provide information, such as a visible warning to the driver of the following vehicle that his or her lights are shining so brightly on the front vehicle so as to cause the driver of the front vehicle to become uncomfortable, distracted, and/or temporary blind due to reflections of the following vehicle's headlights in the front vehicle's rear view mirror or mirrors. The device may have several appearances which change as the light intensity progressively exceeds several corresponding threshold intensities.

A combination of a racecourse and a plurality of racing vehicles where the racecourse has a predefined path defined by at least one gate. This gate further includes a unique identifier. Each of the plurality of racing vehicles has a sensor capable of detecting the unique identifier and the sensor is further coupled to a logic circuit and to a transmitter. A scoreboard has receiver to receive information from the transmitter and display that information, such as lap speed and ranking, according to a desired format. Alternatively, the unique identifier is mounted to the racing vehicle and the sensor to the gate.
