Abstract: The invention is addressed to a method for encapsulating a corrosive material with lithium wherein an encasing member having an opening is formed by folding and cold bonding a sheet of lithium into a receiving vessel. The corrosive material is poured into the vessel and the opening is pinched together to form a cold bond. The method is particularly adapted to the manufacture of primary cells where the vessel comprises the anode and the corrosive material is the cathode material.

Abstract: Photographic flash apparatus having one flash unit which may be called the main or master or primary flash unit, and one or more additional flash units which may be called secondary or slave or dependent units. Eliminating connecting cables often used in the prior art, and also eliminating ratio frequency controls sometimes used in the prior art relating to multiple units, the secondary or dependent units of the present invention are independently powered and are triggered to initiate a flash by the light from the flash of the main unit, and triggered to terminate or discontinue the flash in each dependent unit when the flash in the main unit turns off. The control of each secondary unit is entirely by means of the flash of light from the main unit. The apparatus is particularly useful in studio lighting where it is desired to illuminate the subject being photographed from a plurality of different directions.
