The present invention features a multi-functional pump for pumping molten metal, which includes a base that is submerged in molten metal having at least two impeller chambers. The base includes one or more inlet openings and one or more outlet openings. Each outlet opening leads from one of the impeller chambers. The invention enables the impeller to be moved to a position to rotate in either impeller chamber or while straddling impeller chambers. This enables the pump to have the versatility to operate in a circulation mode; a transfer mode; two or more circulation modes; two or more transfer modes; and a combination of transfer and circulation modes. The impeller chambers can be stacked over each other and the impeller can be moved vertically in and between impeller chambers. Inventive vaned or barrel type impellers can be used to facilitate pumping while straddling impeller chambers, in view of an elongated bearing member on the impeller that maintains position relative to a bearing ring attached to the base or an inlet protector sleeve. The multifunctional pump of the invention enables infinite adjustment of the impeller using a programmable logic controller that results in positioning of the impeller at any of various locations in the base to achieve any desired output. The inventive pump is ideally suited for use in die casting and scrap submergence applications. Also featured is a method of operating the multifunctional pump of the present invention.

A coextruded multilayer film, having of at least a high crystalline propylene homopolymer resin layer of isotactic content greater than about 95%; a discharge-treated surface on one side of said polyolefin resin layer; an amount of hydrocarbon resin up to 10% by weight of the high crystalline propylene homopolymer of greater than about 95% isotactic content; and on the high crystalline propylene homopolymer resin layer side opposite said discharge-treated surface, a heat sealable layer or winding layer having an antiblock is disclosed.

The present invention relates to a display and a method for making the display comprising a substrate, an electrically modulated imaging layer, a first transparent conductive layer, and a dark light absorbing layer comprising a binder and a blend of nonconductive colorants and conductive colorants, wherein the conductive colorant is present in an amount less than 25% by weight.

In a semiconductor memory device having a capacitor layer comprising a dielectric film or a ferroelectric film, as an interlayer insulation film formed between the capacitor and a wiring layer formed at the upper part thereof or an insulation film which covers the wiring layer, a multilayered film is used which consists of a first insulation film and a second insulation film laid upon the other; the former being a lower layer and being formed of an organic film, and the latter being an upper layer and being formed of a hard-mask material.This makes it possible to prevent thin films comprised of a dielectric material or a ferroelectric material from any deterioration caused by the hydrogen and water contained in the interlayer insulation film and passivation film of the semiconductor memory device and also by the stress of these films.

A basket assembly for use with a deep fryer having a lower foraminous basket and an upper foraminous insert which quickly and easily attaches to the lower basket at a predetermined location intermediate the top and bottom of the lower basket to thereby hold the food in place beneath the surface of a hot cooking liquid such as oil. Advantages of the assembly are that it forces foods down to increase the efficiency of flash frying, it provides the ability to cook more than one item at a time while keeping them separated, and it provides a food product which cooks faster because it is unnecessary to turn food which floats to the top, thereby resulting in less fat absorption.

An optical filter that transmits light of the visible light region includes a dielectric substrate; a dielectric layer that is formed on a surface of the dielectric substrate; and a first metal structure group in which a plurality of first metal structures are arranged two-dimensionally in an isolated state in the in-plane direction of the dielectric substrate, that is provided between the dielectric substrate and the dielectric layer, comprising: the first metal structures having first and second lengths in first and second directions orthogonal to each other, which lengths are equal to or less than a first wavelength in the visible light region; and a transmittance of the first wavelength being reduced or a reflectance being increased by surface plasmons induced on a surface of the first metal structures by resonance between light incident on the dielectric substrate or the dielectric layer and the first metal structures.
