Abstract: Processes for dyeing fabric are provided. The process can include continuously moving the fabric in a machine direction; removing folds or creases from the fabric; spraying a first surface of the fabric with a dye; and exposing the fabric to atmospheric steam after spraying the dye on the first surface but prior to the dye drying on the first surface so that the dye migrates from the first surface to a second surface of the fabric and reacts with and affixes to a component of the fabric.

Abstract: The Hunters Smart Seat: A support devise that connects between two stationary objects via one-inch webbing circumjacent to said objects then looped through welded steel O-rings secured on each end of the seat, which may be placed at various heights, adjustable to the user's comfort through elevation of the weight carrying straps. The comfort design is directly related to the inclusion of a foam insert between two fiberglass rods fabricated into the seating portion, keeping the fabric elongated without affecting width. The essential structure of the seat is durable, lightweight and flexible. Portability is accommodated by a seat enclosure containing all paraphernalia, fabricated of the same material, connected to a person via external webbed belt loops.

Abstract: A composition for finishing a textile is provided. The composition includes a finishing agent and a binder component that is conducive to forming a bond with the textile and a bond with a dye. A method of digitally printing a textile is also provided, which includes applying a finishing agent to the textile so that the finishing agent forms a first bond with a component of the textile and digitally printing a dye on the textile after applying the finishing agent so that the dye forms a second bond with the finishing agent. A digitally printed textile having a textile with a finishing agent and a binding component is provided. The binding component forms a bond with a component of the textile and a dye is bound to the binding component.

Abstract: The composition that permits spray dyeing of a cellulosic, such as cotton, fabric or garment. The composition includes a wetter, an alkali, a reactive dye, a thickener, and water. The present compositions are made by first mixing together the wetter, reactive dye and water to form a first solution, then mixing the thickener into the first solution to form a second solution, and thereafter mixing or merging the alkali to the second solution within thirty minutes prior to spray application onto the cellulosic fabric or garment.

Abstract: A former for spraying a garment with a dye is provided. The former includes a hollow frame having a plurality of individual elements configured to support the garment and a plurality of openings being defined between the plurality of individual elements so that the hollow frame has a thermal conductivity that is equal to or less than a thermal conductivity of the garment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition that permits spray dyeing of a cellulosic, such as cotton, fabric or garment. The composition includes a wetter, an alkali, a reactive dye, and water, and preferably a thickener. The present compositions are made by first mixing together the wetter, reactive dye and water to form a first solution, then mixing the thickener into the first solution to form a second solution, and thereafter mixing or merging the alkali to the second solution within five minutes prior to spray application onto the cellulosic fabric or garment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser intensity monitor. Specifically the laser intensity monitor uses a black chrome metallic, non-light transmissive mask deposited on an optically transparent glass or sapphire window. The mask has an aperture there through. The mask is positioned on the window in such a manner that only the TEM.sub.00 mode of a counter-rotating laser beam is allowed to pass through the aperture of the mask and the window to strike a photodetector.

Abstract: A method of metallizing through holes in dielectric substrates with a metallizing material comprising forming a hole in the substrate utilizing laser techniques, depositing a layer of a dielectric on the side wall of the hole and then depositing a layer of a metallizing material onto the dielectric layer.
