  • Publication number: 20060176533
    Abstract: The invention provides a hologram plate which is used with the double-focus replication process, and which is integrated with a spacer to impart marring resistance thereto, and is integrated with a light absorbing layer to allow zero-order light and first-order light to have substantially the same intensity. This hologram plate 42 comprises an array of collective element holograms for diffracting parallel light incident thereon at a specific wavelength and a specific incident angle in such a way that the light is converged onto a specific focal length position. The hologram plate 42 is a multilayer structure made up of a first transparent substrate 31, a hologram layer 32, an adhesive layer 33 and a second transparent substrate 41. The second transparent substrate 42 defines a surface in contact with a hologram photosensitive material 53 during hologram replication.

  • Patent number: 4480988
    Abstract: A surface combustion type burner with air supply entirely as primary air has metallic netting defining a combustion surface, and is characterized in that in close supporting contact behind the metallic netting, substantially all over the entire rear surface of the metallic netting, there is disposed a punched or perforated metal base which has an open or void perforation ratio smaller than that of the metallic netting.
