Abstract: An alkali release solution contains a basic compound, a polyoxyalkylene alkyl derivative, and water, for releasing a printed layer formed on a base material and constituted by a gravure printing ink composition for label surface printing that satisfies a or b below: a) containing no vinyl chloride resin, wherein the composition contains a pigment, a binder resin containing cellulose resin and urethane resin, and an organic solvent, wherein the ratio by mass of the solids content of polyurethane resin and cellulose resin is 5/95 to 95/5; or b) containing a vinyl chloride resin, the composition contains a pigment, a vinyl chloride resin, and a polyurethane resin, wherein the content of the vinyl chloride resin, based on the ratio by mass of the solids content of vinyl chloride resin and urethane resin, is 1.73 parts by mass or lower relative to the urethane resin representing 1.00 part by mass.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns a personal accessory wallet/clutch with an integrated money/card clip, and internal cartridge, actuated by finger via spring loaded bearings. The wallet is comprised of two congruent plates, of any shape, or structurally deemed material. Spaced by standoffs, secured by fasteners in a manner to construct a strong foundation necessary for self defense, and durability. An internal mating cartridge configured to receive and secure multiple personal items described herein. With a series of precisely placed, pressed in spring loaded bearings on both sides. Guided and positioned by a series of milled cavities on the internal sides of each congruent structure plate. The construction, and structural design of said invention lends it to be manufactured out of a variety of structurally deemed materials described herein. Including but not limited to common, and exotic materials.

Abstract: A spacecraft or satellite optical transmission apparatus (10) including an optical fiber (11) and at least one optical pump source (14) operatively coupled to provide pump energy to the optical fiber (11), the optical fiber (11) comprising an active trivalent dopant such as erbium and at least one passive trivalent dopant such as lanthanum. A method for transmitting electromagnetic radiation in a high radiation environment is also disclosed.
