International Classification:

B65D 110

US Classification:

220753, 215396, 215398

Abstract:

A glass beverage container having a thermally insulated exterior surface that reduces the heat transfer between the glass beverage container and the hand of the person holding the glass. A thermally insulating material is fixedly attached to the glass handle or glass side wall of a beverage container. The thermally insulating material is bonded to the glass via an adhesive. The insulating material can comprise one or more layers of material such as rubberized latex and/or Neoprene. The glass beverage containers can include, but are not limited to, beer mugs, soda glasses, or pitchers.

Appl. No.:

6/145810

Inventors:

Richard R. Freeman - Middletown NJ
Jonathan C. White - Eatontown NJ

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H01S 322

US Classification:

372 90

Abstract:

A laser apparatus for inverting a population in an atomic or molecular species is provided. Energy is stored in a first species and a laser induced collisional energy transfer from that first species to a selected dissociative molecular state of a second species causes an inversion of one of the constituents of the second species. This is represented, in one embodiment of the present invention which utilizes a second species comprising a diatomic molecule, by the reaction A*+BC+h. nu. fwdarw. A+(BC)*. fwdarw. A+B*+C, where A and A* are the ground and excited states of the first species respectively, denoted as the storage species, BC and (BC)* are the ground and excited states of the second species respectively, which comprises atoms B and C, and B* is the excited state of atom B, which excited state is inverted.

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

B01D 5944
H01J 3934

US Classification:

250423P

Abstract:

Atoms of hydrogen or deuterium are fully ionized by a three-photon process which is enhanced by the two-photon 1S. fwdarw. 2S resonant transition. The resultant ions are detected with high efficiency to provide discrimination between small concentrations of atomic hydrogen and atomic deuterium in a vacuum or in the presence of a background gas. The use of two unequal photo energies to pump the two-photon resonance provides the capability of mapping the individual three dimensional distribution of the hydrogen or deuterium. The detection process is also appropriate to determining these data in dishcarge plasmas and flames.

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H03F 700

US Classification:

307427

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing second harmonic generation from a single beam in an isotropic medium. An isotropic medium having a two-photon transition between a first level and a second level with a quadrupole moment therebetween is exposed to a beam of laser radiation. The photons in the laser beam have an energy which is substantially equal to one-half the energy difference between the first and second levels.

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H03F 700

US Classification:

International Classification:

H01S 100

US Classification:

250251

Abstract:

A cw laser beam of radiation superimposed upon a beam of particles, for example a beam of neutral particles, can cause substantial changes in particle trajectories when the radiation frequency is tuned near a resonant transition in the particle. The particles can be confined by, ejected from, or steered by the laser beam. The present invention teaches the range of values over which the frequency of electromagnetic radiation is to be offset from the frequency of a particle resonance, as a function of radiation power for specific wave propagation modes, to produce best focusing of the particle beam by a copropagating beam of electromagnetic radiation. Our invention takes into account the effect of random fluctuations which arise out of the quantum nature of the electromagnetic wave-particle interaction in order to determine the appropriate range of values.
