Abstract: A multi-layer extended text resealable label comprising a first base layer and a second layer selectively secured thereto. The label is constructed in such a way so that when the second layer is completely separated from the first layer, the second layer is devoid of any adhesive material thereon so that the second layer may be conveniently handled without the same sticking to other materials. The second layer is also resealable onto the first layer.

Abstract: A label for use on the bottom of a first food container which is adapted to engage a second food container positioned below the first food container to prevent movement of the first food container relative to the second food container. The bottom surface of the label has a nonskid material such as varnish applied thereto.

Abstract: Solar resistant fused silica optical fiber is made by heating the starter rod, drawing the fiber, and preferably immediately diffusing hydrogen into the fiber, then promptly covering the hydrogen diffused fiber with hermetic coating to trap the hydrogen within the fiber. The presence of hydrogen in the fiber neutralizes UV radiation induced defects and because the hydrogen can only migrate through the fiber ends, the life of the solar resistant fiber for transmission wavelengths is increased by several years over conventional solar resistant fiber.
