A system and method are provided for improving stack integrity for a set of image receiving media substrates at an output of a compiler in an image forming device by positioning a particularly configured substrate handling device downstream of the output of the compiler in a process direction. The substrate handling device is configured of a plurality of omni-directional wheeled devices that provide drive (traction) normal to a motor axis under control of one of a respective plurality of independent motors while allowing sliding in the motor axis direction. The omni-directional wheeled devices, in one embodiment, are configured with small roller wheels along the periphery of the wheel. When using three or more omni-directional wheeled devices, translational movement can be combined with rotation to deliver sheets of image receiving media exiting the compiler at a correct angle and lateral position for further processing.

The invention provides a riding surface formed of a mixture of sand with stone fibers.

A solid oxide fuel cell generator (10) is made which contains bundles (14) of solid oxide fuel cells (36), a bus bar unit (128) in adjacent contact with the fuel cell bundles, where the bus bar unit (128) can pass electrical current, the bus bar unit (128) containing flat inner plate sections (130) adjacent the fuel cell bundles, outer solid nickel bar (134) and with solid, U-shaped nickel strap take-off connections (136) between the plates and bar; and a power lead (140) electrically connected to the outer solid nickel bar, where the flat inner plate sections (130) and solid U-shaped nickel strap take-off connections (136) pass electrical current generated in the fuel cell bundles through the bus bar units (128).

A continuous-wave (CW), ultraviolet triply-optically-pumped atomic laser (TOPAL) is disclosed. The inventive laser device includes a laser active media comprising a mixture of a neutral atomic vapor and one or more buffer gases. The gain mixture is placed within a segmented gain cell, allowing for periodic, selected spectral filtering of deleterious ASE transitions; the segmented gain cell, in turn, is placed within an optical cavity with a high Q at a specified ultraviolet wavelength, and is successively, resonantly excited by three drive pump lasers, in three energy-contiguous visible / IR electric-dipole allowed transitions, producing a steady-state electron population inversion density between a high-lying electronic energy level and the ground electronic level, and producing laser emission on a UV transition (within the spectral range ˜230 to ˜370 nm) terminating on the ground electronic level.
