  • Patent number: 11376638
    Abstract: A foam generating spray nozzle for water jet hose attachments having an adjustable spray nozzle that provides incremental directional nozzle outlet adjustment. A cleaning mixture reservoir having premeasured dissolvable cleaning product pod receivable within in fluid communication with the nozzle assembly. Selective cleaning product mix reservoir access provides fluid reservoir product to the nozzle fluid stream under metered acceleration and aeration foam prior to direct outlet nozzle directional adjustment and spray stream deflector downstream thereof.

  • Patent number: 5991100
    Abstract: The compact view scope enables an observer to view miniaturized textual and pictorial images mounted in the scope. The compact view scope includes axially co-extensive outer and inner cylindrical bodies. The interior of the inner cylindrical body is hollow and is light transmissive. A first seal is established between the inner and outer cylindrical bodies by complementary thread members. The first axial end of the inner body defines an integral light filter end cap having at least one surface channel thereon. In a preferred embodiment, the surface channel has a U-shaped cross-section and provides a thinned end piece region which filters light therethrough. A film carrying miniaturized textual and pictorial images is disposed at the first axial end in the hollow, light transmissive interior of the inner cylindrical body adjacent the axially inboard side of the light filtering end cap. At the other, second axial end of the inner cylindrical body, a first lens chamfer is formed.

  • Patent number: 5927206
    Abstract: An imagewise polarizable imaging member can be used to print the same or different images with an electrically responsive marking media. The imaging member includes a matrix-addressable microelectronic layer in proximate relationship with an imagewise polarizable ferroelectric layer. Imaging is accomplished by forming an imagewise electrical pattern in the ferroelectric layer using signals from the matrix-addressable microelectronic layer, and applying the electrically responsive marking media to the electrically polarized ferroelectric layer, creating thereon an identifiable image pattern. The marking media can then be transferred to a suitable receiver material to form the desired printed image.

  • Patent number: 4269914
    Abstract: An ultrasonographic element is disclosed comprised of first and second layers coated on a support, at least one of the layers being a silver halide emulsion layer. One of the layers contains a diffusible ion capable of altering the sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion while the other layer is capable of immobilizing the diffusible ion. Interposed between the layers is a barrier for impeding diffusion of the sensitivity altering ion in the absence of ultrasound. An ultrasonographic image is formed by contacting the element with a transport liquid, ultrasonically exposing the element imagewise to accelerate diffusion of the sensitivity altering ion between the layers, exposing the element to electromagnetic radiation and photographically processing the element to produce an image corresponding to the image pattern of ultrasonic exposure.
