Abstract: A solid-state laser apparatus including a resonator in which oscillation of laser light occurs. An etalon is provided in the resonator for selecting a predetermined wavelength as a wavelength of laser light to be output from the solid-state laser apparatus. The etalon has at least one surface through which laser light passes, and is arranged so that at least one reflectance of the at least one surface at the above predetermined wavelength is smaller than reflectances of the at least one surface at wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength. In addition, at least one resonator mirror of the resonator is arranged so that at least one reflectance of the at least one mirror at the above predetermined wavelength is greater than reflectances of the at least one mirror at wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength.

Abstract: An ink tank cartridge for use in an ink jet recorder has a container having exterior walls, a porous member is stored in the container, an ink supply port that extends through one of the exterior walls of the body to supply ink to the exterior of the cartridge, and a packing member, disposed within the ink supply port and having an opening therethrough and a rib formed on a upper surface. A pressing member may be provided to bias the packing member against an inner surface of the ink supply port. The ink tank cartridge can be assembled to limit the occurrence of air bubbles in the tank.

Abstract: Eyewear is disclosed for use in sports and the like which allows the wearer to attach a removable sealing member to prevent the ingress of particulate matter when active sports are engaged in which require both ventilation and sealing to keep dust, dirt and the like out of the eyes. The sealing member is removable so that when the user is engaged in more casual activities, the frame may be worn like ordinary glasses or sunglasses without the sealing member. The eyewear includes a frame shaped to fit a wearer's face, one or two lenses mounted in the frame, and a temple bracket mounted on each side of the frame. A ventilation opening can be provided on the front surface of the frame to provide an airstream which is channeled by the removable insert to provide a filtered airflow across each lens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of abating hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by or generated in landfills. Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to contacting hydrogen sulfide gas with Fuller's earth or other carrier materials and metals such as silver, copper, iron, zinc or mixtures thereof, and other components.

Abstract: A method for determining temperature from a transponder utilizing a thermistor and a running counter comprises providing a running count which varies as a function of temperature; latching the count at predetermined time intervals; determining the difference between the values of successive latched counts; aggregating the differences; determining the total elapsed time between a first latched count and a last latched count; dividing the aggregate by the total time to obtain a frequency; and converting the frequency to a temperature based upon the temperature frequency characteristics of the thermistor.

Abstract: A lens including a polarizing film within a polyurethanic material which comprises a photochromic dye therein.

Abstract: A portable light-emitting display device having one or more rotating members including one or more light sources mounted or otherwise affixed thereto. The one or more rotating members are coupled to a motor. The motor and the light sources are each electrically coupled to one or more controllers, which control the speed at which the motor rotates the one or more rotating members and controls a lighting frequency and/or an intensity of all or one or more of the light sources or any combination thereof, to create a visual effect.

Abstract: An ink cartridge for an ink jet printer is provided with a container having at least a first wall. An ink supply port is formed through the first wall for supplying ink to the exterior of the container. An ink chamber and an ink supply chamber are formed by a membrane valve seat made of an elastic thin membrane and formed with a through hole therethrough. A valve body is positioned opposing the through hole formed in the membrane valve seat, the valve body and membrane valve seat adjacent said through hole formed therein being maintained selectively in contact by a pressure difference between said ink chamber and said ink supply chamber.

Abstract: A semi-automatic needle loader assembly is disclosed that includes a setting group for positioning at least one of an isotope seed and a spacer, a loading group operatively engaging the setting group for depositing the at least one of an isotope seed and a spacer, a viewing member for visualizing the at least one of an isotope seed and a spacer, and a needle holding group positioned to pass the at least one of an isotope seed and a spacer to a needle assembly.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has pivotable levers connected to walls of a container, and both pawls and protruded guide portions formed on the levers. The pawls are engageable with an ink cartridge holder. The protruded guide portions contact the ink cartridge holder to move the levers in the opening direction. Further, protruded stopper portions are formed to permit pivoting movement of the levers to such a degree as to disengage the pawls from the ink cartridge holder.

Abstract: An ink cartridge comprises an upper cover, and the inside of an inner frame portion of the upper cover is partitioned into a groove and a waste ink storing portion by a wall portion. A waste ink absorber is accommodated in the waste ink storing portion, and the inner frame portion is sealed with a film in this state so that a passage and a waste ink storing chamber are formed. The opening of a lower cover accommodating an ink pack therein is sealed with the upper cover thus constituted so that the ink cartridge is formed. Even if the ink cartridge is turned in various directions such that any surface of the lower cover acts as a lower surface, the position of the ink pack in the ink cartridge is always set to be higher than the liquid level of the ink in an ink bag.

Abstract: There is disclosed an ink cartridge capable of being removably held in an ink cartridge accommodation portion simply by pushing in the cartridge in an insertion direction. The ink cartridge (5) is mounted on a carriage (4) having a cartridge accommodation region. A one-push type fixing member (30) in a position facing a surface parallel to an insertion direction in which the cartridge is inserted into the cartridge accommodation region is engaged with a fixing protrusion (12a) forming another one-push type fixing member and cooperating with the first-mentioned one-push type fixing member, so that the cartridge (5) is held in a predetermined position in a state in which the cartridge is resiliently urged by a spring (24) in a direction opposite to the insertion direction.
