G02F 1/07

US Classification:

359322, 359315, 359254, 359245

Abstract:

A beam-steering element made of a more optically-active material, potassium tantalate niobate, with an improved diffraction efficiency, having a plurality of electrode layers and one electro-optic crystal layer interposed between every two adjacent electrode layers. Each electro-optic crystal layer and the electrode layer adjacent thereto have an aspect ratio of about 1:1. The electrode layers and the electro-optic crystal layers are interposed between two substrates. Preferably, the substrates are transparent to an incoming beam to be modulated by the electro-optic crystal layer.

Appl. No.:

6/445403

Inventors:

Mitchell A. Juris - Chicago IL
David A. Gallagher - Romeoville IL

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H01R 1352
H01R 13627

US Classification:

339 60R

Abstract:

An electrical connector assembly for connecting a first contact to a second contact is disclosed including a receptacle member and a plug member. The receptacle member has a recess at one end defined by a resilient wall having an outer end terminating in an inwardly projecting lip and includes means for supporting the first contact in a manner such that the contact extends into the recess. The plug member has a projection at one end defined by a neck portion having an inner end terminating in a contact-receiving face and includes means for supporting the second contact in a manner such that the contact extends within the projection. The plug member also has a collar positioned along the neck portion so that the first contact mates with the second contact prior to engagement of the lip with the collar. With these features of construction, the neck portion is formed no larger in transverse dimension than the lip whereby the neck portion can be inserted into the recess free of interference until after the critical mating function has occurred.

A45C 13/02
A45C 3/00

Abstract:

Disclosed is a hand bag for storing, carrying, displaying, selecting, and/or returning many types of articles. The hand bag comprises a body comprising a cavity to store the articles, a lower open end, and an upper open end. The hand bag further comprises an upper flap engaged with the upper open end of the body. The hand bag further comprises a lower flap engaged with the lower open end of the body. The hand bag further comprises a flexible sheet engaged with said lower open end between a first position where the flexible sheet is disposed outward of the body upon the lower flap with the articles resting on the body allowing the person unobstructed access to the articles and a second position where the flexible sheet may be held to form a u-shaped tube allowing the articles to be inserted into the lower open end of the body.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a container for storing, displaying, and dispensing many types of articles. The container comprises a body comprising a cavity to store the articles and an open end for access to the articles. The container further comprises a lid comprising a cavity, a first open end engaged with the open end of the body and a flexible sheet engaged with and fully disposed within the cavity of the lid. The container further comprises a cap engaged with a second open end of the lid. Removal of the cap from the lid allows the flexible sheet to be moved between a first position where the flexible sheet is disposed outward of the lid with the articles resting on the flexible sheet and a second position where the flexible sheet is held to form a u-shaped tube allowing the articles to be poured into said second open end of the lid.

US Classification:

221 64, 383 42

Abstract:

The present invention is a container for storing, selection, and dispensing many types of articles. In one embodiment, the container comprises a body having a cavity to store the articles and an open end having an inside surface for access to the articles. The container further comprises a flexible sheet having a body portion and first and second end portions. The first end portion is secured to the inside surface of the body. The flexible sheet can be moved between a first position where the flexible sheet is fully disposed within the body and a second position where the flexible sheet is disposed outward of the body with the articles resting on the body portion of the flexible sheet upon raising and tilting of the body to provide easy selection and dispensing of any article. The container and flexible sheet may be configured in many shapes and/or materials for different applications.
