Abstract: A system for interrogating non-homogeneous liquid samples to locate regions of interest within the samples, and to extract liquid from the regions of interest. The system of the invention is particularly well adapted for use in locating and in thoroughly removing liquid from regions of interest that include even extremely thin, film-like, horizontally extending layers of interest that typically are in the range of about 10 to 50 microns in thickness. The system utilizes a polarized beam of collimated laser light that is projected along a horizontal travel path, that is transmitted through a sample, and that is detected to enable characteristics of the transmitted light beam that have been affected by characteristics of the interrogated sample portions to be studied.
Abstract: Flush mountable latches and locks for industrial cabinets, tool carts, electrical equipment enclosures and the like utilize versatile housings of novel configuration together with push-to-operate handles that are pivotally movable relative to the housings to effect unlatching movements of spring-biased, pivotally mounted latch bolts. The lock-type embodiment has a locking mechanism that is mounted on the housing to selectively permit and prevent unlatching movements of its pivotal latch bolt. The resulting arrangement provides sturdy latch and lock assemblies that employ a small number of relatively movable parts that can be assembled, installed and serviced with ease.

Abstract: Flush mountable latches and locks for industrial cabinets, tool carts, electrical equipment enclosures and the like utilize versatile housings of novel configuration together with pivotally nestable and extensible handles that are movable relative to their housings to effect latching and unlatching movements of a resilient, expansible latch member. Locking mechanisms are mountable on the housings to selectively permit and prevent unlatching movements of the latch member. The resulting arrangement provides sturdy latch and lock assemblies that employ a small number of relatively movable parts that can be assembled and serviced with ease.
