Abstract: A container for containing a cold fluid. The container includes a sidewall construct that includes an inner sidewall extending at least partially around an interior of the container, an outer sleeve attached to the inner sidewall, and a cavity defined between the inner sidewall and the outer sleeve. The container also includes a closed bottom defining a bottom of the interior of the container, and insulating features that include the cavity and a plurality of annular bands, each annular band of the plurality of annular bands includes a spacer that extends in the cavity from the inner sidewall to the outer sleeve. Adjacent bands define a respective pocket of a plurality of pockets in the cavity such that the insulating features maintain a desired temperature of the cold fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of providing two distinct photoimageable film compositions, in particular, two distinct dry film compositions, on a substrate. Each of the two photoimageable film compositions is selected to have a different developing speed and/or curing speed so that, after development, the top layer of photoimageable film overhangs the bottom layer of photoimageable film. A metal layer is subsequently deposited over the surface of the substrate. The overhang allows for the clean removal of the photoimageable film layers, without damage to the subsequently applied metal layer, because the overhang prevents the metal layer from making intimate contact with the photoimageable film layers along the interface of the substrate with the photoimageable film layers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protective U.V. curable or photoimageable cover layer for an optical disk substrate and a method of applying the protective cover layer to an optical substrate. The U.V. curable or photoimageable layer is applied as a dry film and has high clarity and cures to a flexible, scratch resistant, non-shrinking film, which has good adhesion to the underlying substrate.
