Abstract: A one-time-use camera capable of being disassembled and comprising a main body part, a lens secured releasably to the main body part to permit the lens to be released from the main body part during camera disassembly, and a cover part separable from the main body part during camera disassembly, is characterized in that the lens is connected with the cover part to cause the lens to be released from the main body part when the cover part is separated from the main body part during camera disassembly. This facilitates camera disassembly.

Abstract: A one-time-use camera comprises an opaque main body part; a flash device on the main body part that provides flash illumination; a taking lens on the main body part; a light-transmitting outer cover having an opening for the flash device and an opening for the taking lens; and an opaque inner cover part, behind the light-transmitting outer cover, having an opening for the flash device that is aligned with the opening for the flash device in the light-transmitting outer cover, and including an opaque lens baffle for the taking lens that projects from the opaque inner cover part, through the opening for the taking lens in the light-transmitting outer cover, and protrudes from the light-transmitting outer cover to prevent the light-transmitting outer cover from transmitting flash illumination to the taking lens.

Abstract: An apertured and porous metal article can find use, for example, in diaphragm or membrane electrolysis cells. The article may comprise a thin and flexible metal foam of small pores which, typically, has been perforated with large apertures. The article may also be provided with an electrocatalytic coating. It can be in substantial physical contact with a membrane or diaphragm separator used in the cell for separating anode and cathode members or compartments. There is also disclosed the preparation of the article and an electrolysis cell utilizing the resulting apertured and porous metal article.

Abstract: A water-resistant camera housing comprises a pair of separable housing sections, and a waterproof sealing band covering a separation seam between the housing sections to provide a water-resistant seal for the seam. The sealing band has a pair of opposite end portions one of which overlaps the other but leaves a slight gap between them adjacent the seam. A waterproof filler occupies the gap to provide a water-resistant seal in the gap for the seam.

Abstract: High gloss is provided for multicolor images formed on opposite sides of a receiving sheet in a double pass system using a fuser having a smooth, soft pressure roller surface. Preferably, a thin elastomeric outer layer on the pressure roller has a shore .ANG. durometer less than 40 and a roughness average less than 40 microinches. When a second multicolor image is fused to a receiving sheet by contact with a fusing roller, the gloss of a first multicolor image on the opposite side of the receiving sheet that has already been fused is not reduced by contact with the pressure roller, but is, in fact, enhanced.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for applying liquid dispersed toner to the surface of an electrographic recording member, held on a platen which moves relative to a pair of coplanar cylindrical developing electrodes. Toner is deposited on the recording member by passing the record member over a projecting portion of each of the cylindrical developing electrodes in contact with a film of fluid established by the rotating coplanar cylindrical developing electrodes. The fluid has dispersed toner entrained therein and is supplied to the rotating cylinders by a pump which forces the liquid between each rotating cylinder and the shroud which surrounds the roller, except for an opening through which a projecting portion of each cylinder extends above its respective shroud.

Abstract: Concentrated alkali metal hydroxide substantially free of alkali metal halide and other impurities is produced by the electrolysis of an alkali metal halide solution in an electrolytic cell having a dimensionally stable anode and a metal cathode separated by an electrically conductive stable selectively permeable hydrated cation ion-exchange membrane film of a fluorinated copolymer having pendant sulfonic acid groups or derivatives of such groups. The membrane film is capable of use at high temperatures and under severely corrosive chemical conditions for extended periods without degradation.
