An improved lighting fixture is disclosed for imaging a high-intensity beam of light at a distant location. A specially-made duel parabolic reflector system cooperates with a gate aperture and a single aspheric lens to produce a beam that incorporates a very high proportion of emitted visible light. Alternatively, said fixture has two lenses in a positioning mechanism mounted in the housing, and includes a rack and pinion gear device that adjusts the distance between the front and rear lenses in response to the rotation of an actuator. The actuator is configured to slide along a slot in the housing, controlling the translation of the first and second lenses with respect to the gate aperture. A shielding baffle covers the slot. The actuator is further configured with a locking mechanism that constrains the actuator from being moved with respect to the housing when the locking mechanism is in position. Additionally the rear parabolic reflector part has a dichroich coating that reflects only a low proportion of infrared light. The projected beam thereby has a relatively low energy density, such that the front portion of the fixture can be reduced substantially in size, be made of light weight materials with lower temperature resistance, and utilize lenses made of plastic. The gate is selectively rotatable relative to the fixture's rear housing.

A method of and system for manufacturing a nail appliqué. A liquid nail enamel having high viscosity is provided and heated to at least 100° F. A layer of adhesive material is applied onto a substrate, and at least a first layer of the heated liquid nail enamel is applied atop the layer of adhesive material. Multiple layers of nail enamel may be employed, optionally having particulate matter such as glitter or mica, optionally one or more of the layers being a clear coat layer. Heaters are employed between layer depositing stations to dry the previous layer at least partially before applying the next layer. Additionally, multiple formulations of liquid nail enamel, of differing color and/or viscosity, may be passively mixed to form an interesting striped or swirled pattern.

A cutting tool for a milling, drilling or turning machine has a body with a plurality of sides and a central opening. Each side has a perimeter along which cutting planes or edges are formed. Each side has at least two such cutting planes or edges. The planes may have a straight or curved profile, or a combination of straight and curved profiles along one side. The tool may have a plurality of such cutting planes formed along each side of the tool body. The cutting planes may be located at different levels in relation to each other, entering a work piece in sequence, or may be aligned to enter the work piece simultaneously. Preferably, the cutting planes are staggered in two directions—in a feeding direction and in a cutting direction. By dividing each surface being cut into a plurality of segments, the cutting tool creates a plurality of distinct shavings, or splinters that have shorter length in comparison with conventional splinters formed by indexable tips. Shorter cuts require less cutting force, which saves wear on the cutting tool and the machine. At the same time, the cuts can be made deeper and smoother when dividing the cutting surface into a plurality of segments.

The invention is directed to olefin copolymers composed of nonhydrolyzable monomer units and hydrolyzable monomer units, the latter resulting from copolymerization of monomers containing a linkage that is hydrolytically cleavable in the presence of aqueous base or aqueous acid.

Also provided are degradable articles that are at least partially composed of a degradable copolymer in which hydrolyzable monomer units represent at least 20 mole % of the copolymer. These degradable articles include agricultural film products, adhesive tape substrates, bed linens, containers, disposable absorbent articles, packaging materials, bags, labels, pillow cases, protective clothing, surgical drapes, sponges, tampon applicators, disposable syringes, temporary enclosures and temporary siding, toys, wipes, foamed plastic products, and controlled release pellets, strips and tabs.
