Abstract: A jigsaw including a housing, a drive assembly disposed within the housing and selectively driven by a power source, an output spindle to which a saw blade is attachable and driven in a reciprocating manner by the drive assembly, a foot plate coupled to the housing and configured to support the housing relative to a workpiece during a cutting operation, and a shoe removably coupled to the foot plate and configured to contact the workpiece during a cutting operation. The shoe includes a blade accommodating region within which at least one replacement saw blade is receivable for storage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to color tuned holographic multicolor optical elements for use as multicolor transmission filters in liquid crystal displays and methods of making the elements. The element comprises at least first and second pixel volumes containing holographic mirrors and preferably third pixel volumes containing holographic mirrors. Each set of pixel volumes passes a different color wavelength band and reflects other color wavelength bands.

Abstract: Holographic films contain a copolymer binder having the following formula:(M).sub.w (VAc).sub.x (VOH).sub.y (CTFE).sub.zwherein M is a fluoromonomer; VAc is vinyl acetate; VOH is vinyl alcohol; and CTFE is chlorotrifluoroethylene; and wherein w, x, y, and z are percentages by weight; w is 5 to 22%, x is 50 to 75%, y is 3 to 8%, and z is 15 to 30% with the copolymer containing 3-35% by weight fluorine. These imaged films are particularly suited for lamination to glass in head-up display applications.

Abstract: Holographic films are disclosed that contain a binder having the following formula:(M).sub.w (VAc).sub.x (VOH).sub.y (VOS).sub.zwherein M is a fluoromonomer; VAc is vinyl acetate; VOH is vinyl alcohol; and VOS is vinyl trimethylsilyl ether; and wherein w, x, y, and z are percentages by weight; w is 5 to 30, x is 40 to 80, y is 0 to 20, and z is 2 to 30; said copolymers containing 3 to 23% by weight fluorine. These imaged films are particularly suited for lamination to glass in head-up display applications.

Abstract: Film speed of holographic photopolymer film containing polyvinyl acetate binder and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer is improved by including acrylic anhydride in the film.

Abstract: Vanadium phosphorus mixed oxide containing catalysts are prepared in an organic liquid reaction medium with heating wherein at least 1.5 moles organic liquid are removed from the reaction medium such as by distillation for each mole of vanadium which is reduced or reacted during such reaction and/or reduction. The resulting catalysts are useful for the production of maleic anhydride from 4 carbon atom hydrocarbons.
