Abstract: An additive product dispensing apparatus for a toilet tank which prevents waste of excessive chemicals within the toilet tank and causes the treatment solution to remain in the toilet bowl water after the flushing cycle. The dispensing apparatus includes a product chamber for receiving the additive product.

The check valves allow dispensing of a specific dosage of the product and are responsive to the rise and fall of water in the tank.

Abstract: A process for forming printing plates using an imaging sheet which carries a layer of microcapsules containing a photohardenable composition; the imaging sheet is preferably assembled with a printing plate support, exposed and subjected to pressure to rupture the microcapsules and differentially transfer the photohardenable composition to the support; the transferred composition is hardened to provide ink-receptive images useful in printing.
