Abstract: A flow cell for transporting fluid in a radiant energy field includes a cell structure having a tube extending therethrough including a radiant energy blocking portion integral therewith. In a particular embodiment, the cell structure includes one or more end caps having a protrusion extending therefrom, wherein the protrusion may be inserted into the tube to create a fluid seal, the end caps including open channels for transporting fluid and radiant energy therethrough, and the tube in the cell structure includes an efficient radiant energy transmission lining that is spaced from the end cap protrusions, thereby forming a gap volume in the flow cell open channel, which gap volume may be calibrated such that radiant energy losses may be standardized in respective flow cells transporting fluids having various indexes of refraction.

Abstract: A flexible plastic thermally conductive multilayer semiconductor mounting pad having a highly thermally conductive bulk layer with thermally conductive surface skin layers bonded integrally to opposed major surfaces thereof. The bulk layer and the surface skin layers are each filled with a finely divided thermally conductive particulate, with the skin layers being harder than the bulk layer and being blended with an amount of filler which is less than that present in the bulk layer.

Abstract: An improved electrode arrangement for touch screen panels wherein the conductive segments forming the edge arrays and the elongated buses which deliver input signals to the arrays are in stacked superimposed relationship, one to the other. At the respective cross-over points between the buses and the conductive segments, the respective axes are angularly disposed, one to the other, so as to eliminate the creation of an impedance which may adversely affect the accuracy of the output of the touch screen. Each cross-over point is located along a solid portion of the conductive segments comprising the array.
