Abstract: Novel artificial or simulated stone facing formed on a substrate with surface-cured finish conformance to the finish of the innerface of a thin flexible film air-sealed to the outer surface of the facing before curing.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel computer-operated touch screen video display system in which the human operator by first touching a sub-area or chamber of the screen containing predetermined graphic information and then pointing on the screen to a different sub-area or chamber where it is desired to display said information may cause the processing equipment automatically to effect the transfer of said graphic information to and display of the same at the different sub-area, while also storing the information in the memory of the processing equipment.

Abstract: Viscoelastic measurements of sublingual saliva thinning minimums are employed reliably to determine the approach of ovulation in females and other related hormonal and rheological functions.

Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with problems of energy conservation and more effective utilization at desired critical times only in, for example, sonar-triggered underwater elapsed time strobe photography of objects or scenes or in applications having similar problems; accomplishing such and other ends by restricting optical and sonar monitoring to relatively low periodicity intervals until the desired object has come within range, whereupon the apparatus automatically changes mode to take rapid successive strobe photographs or other records supplemented by contemporaneous sonar recording.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for enhancing the speed of both certain black and white and color films, through initial black-and-white development, and redevelopment with color coupling developers and color coupling dye units, and replacement of silver units with multiple color dye units for each silver unit that provide a color image enhanced over that provided by the silver image.

Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with employing substantially orthogonal transducer arrays with substantially complementary fan-shaped beams for pin-pointing underwater objects and the like.

Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with using different types of energy to probe for objects in media (such as water) in which one of the different types (such as acoustic energy) is more facilely propagated than another (such as light), so as to enable said one type of energy to monitor for objects of predetermined characteristics within range of another type of energy propagation and, upon detection of such, to direct the other type of energy to indicate such objects, and enable correlation of the indications of the same by both types of energy.
