Abstract: The present invention is comprised of a fish filet device comprised of a body further comprised of a first end and a second end, a grip and a wrist strap. The wrist strap can be secured around the wrist of the user during use, such that the device cannot be dropped. The second end is further comprised of a plurality of teeth that can be used to secure the device into the skin of a fish. In this manner, a user can press the device into a fish using his or her non-dominant hand, in order to secure the fish and prevent the fish body from sliding on a cutting surface, while fileting the fish with a knife in his or her dominant hand.

Abstract: A diffuse reflective article is provided including a diffuse reflector of light positioned within a structure defining an optical cavity. The diffuse reflector is a nonwoven sheet containing a plurality of inter-fiber and intra-fiber pores of optimal light scattering dimension. Also provided is an optical display, including: (i) a structure defining an optical cavity; (ii) a light source positioned within the optical cavity; (iii) a display panel through which light from the light source passes; and (iv) a diffuse reflector positioned within the optical cavity for reflecting light from the light source toward the display panel, wherein the diffuse reflector is a nonwoven sheet containing a plurality of inter-fiber and intra-fiber pores of optimal light scattering dimension.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a sealed joint comprises a joint member having at least one elongate component that comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, a first component side and a second component side, wherein at least a portion of the top surface has a contour which is curved. In forming a joint a first member is formed on a substrate. The joint member is positioned against the first member. A second member is formed on the substrate immediately adjacent to the joint member. In some embodiments the joint member comprises two components, one of which is removed following formation of the second member.

Abstract: A reflective liquid crystal display contains, a holographic reflector that provides either a white or more neutral background color to the display when viewed with ambient white light. The holographic reflector comprises a holographic recording film layer that includes at least first and second pixel volumes containing holographic mirrors and, preferably, third pixel volumes containing holographic mirrors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to holographic multicolor optical elements for use as multicolor filters in liquid crystal displays and methods of making the elements. The elements can be used as multicolor reflective or transmission filters The elements can have one, two, three or more holographic recording film layers Each layer comprises at least first and second pixel volumes containing holographic mirrors and preferably third pixel volumes containing a holographic mirror.
