Abstract: An electric light display assembly for displaying electric lights which contains at least two rods and electric lights removably connected to the rods. A connector located between the rods engages each of the rods. Each of the rods contains a top rail section which, optionally, may contain an orifice. A wall located within the connector limits the extent to which the rods can be inserted into the connector.
Abstract: An implantable, rechargeable assembly that contains an implantable device within a living organism; an electrical storage device is connected to the implantable device, and a thermoelectric charging assembly is connected to said electrical storage device. A thermoelectric charging assembly contains devices for transferring thermal energy between the living organism and a thermoelectric module, for creating an electrical current of a first polarity from thermal energy, for creating an electrical current with a second polarity from thermal energy, for charging the electrical storage device with the electrical current of said first polarity, and for charging the electrical storage device with the electrical current of the second polarity.
Abstract: A process for preparing a printing plate. In this process a photopolymer printing plate is exposed to a source of actinic radiation, and this exposure causes the photopolymer to change at least one of its physical properties. Thereafter, a portion of the photopolymer is removed. The developed printing plate is then irradiated with deep ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of from about 170 to about 290 nanometers.
Abstract: A process for preparing a material in which a gas mixture is subjected to a a temperature of at least 1,000 degrees Celsius while its pressure increased to at least 1,000 Torr. The pressurized hot gas mixture, which contains inert gas and fullerene ions, is then quenched by decreasing its temperature to a temperature of less than 500 degrees Celsius in a period of less than about 1 millisecond, and by decreasing its pressure of to a pressure of less than about 1 Torr in a period of less than about 10 milliseconds.
