Abstract: A gas dosing apparatus is provided that includes an inlet configured to receive gas, and a directional control valve connected to the inlet and having a first position and a second position. The gas dosing apparatus also includes a fixed volume reservoir connected to the directional control valve and receiving gas from the inlet, via the directional control valve, while the directional control valve is in the first position.

The gas dosing apparatus further includes an outlet connected to the directional control valve and outputting a gas dose received from the fixed volume reservoir, via the directional control valve, while the directional control valve is in the second position.

Abstract: A capacitor is described. The capacitor includes a casing of first and second casing members secured to each other to provide an enclosure, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from through a glass-to-metal seal, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The cathode is of a cathode active material deposited on planar faces of the first and second casing members. There is also a cathode current collector disposed intermediate the first and second anodes. The cathode current collector supports cathode active material on both of its major faces and includes a tab that is directly electrically connected to a ferrule of the glass-to-metal seal. That way, the casing is the negative terminal for the cathode and a feedthrough pin extending through the glass-to-metal seal is the positive terminal for the anode of the capacitor.

Abstract: A toner container with an orientation dependent shutter mechanism is provided with an orientation independent shutter lockout feature to ensure that a toner container's shutter will not open unless the toner container is inserted properly into a corresponding toner compartment, thereby ensuring that the proper color toner will be inserted into the toner compartment.
