A solid imaging apparatus is provided that includes a replaceable cartridge containing a source of build material and an extendable and retractable flexible transport film for transporting the build material layer-by-layer from the cartridge to the surface of a build in an image plane. An operator using the device needs merely to remove a spent cartridge and replace it with a fresh cartridge to continue solid imaging virtually uninterrupted. The apparatus also includes the capability of withdrawing and inserting an imager without the operator having to perform a separate alignment step. A brush attached to the transport film and forming part of the cartridge provides for intra-layer removal of excess uncured build material. If desired, the apparatus can produce a fully reacted build. A high intensity UV source cures the build between layers. An injection molded build pad is designed to hold a build in an inverted position for improving the build. The invention also provides for tilting the build elevator to reduce air entrainment and for releasing the build from the image plane.

Articles of footwear, including athletic footwear, include one or more of: (a) an upper; (b) a sole structure including a midsole and an outsole, the outsole having a plurality of polygonal lugs arranged about a base surface of the outsole. The outsole may include one or more regions wherein the characteristics of a portion of the lugs within a region differ from the characteristics of a portion of the lugs in another region. The lugs may differ, for example based on size, construction and/or spacing between the lugs. Methods of manufacturing such articles of footwear also are disclosed.

Ambience signal components are obtained from source audio signals, matrix-decoded signal components are obtained from the source audio signals, and the ambience signal components are controllably combined with the matrix-decoded signal components. Obtaining ambience signal components may include applying at least one decorrelation filter sequence. The same decorrelation filter sequence may be applied to each of the input audio signals or, alternatively, a different decorrelation filter sequence may be applied to each of the input audio signals.

A preemptive bandaging device is presented for the facilitation of intravenous catheter placement and anchoring. The bandage of the present invention includes a frame of bandage base material and a hingedly attached door of a thin bandaging film, a layer of carrier paper to serve as a deployer, and an optional bandage base flap or island for integrating the present invention with certain tube and catheter stabilization devices. The dressing is anchored to the skin so as to frame the I.V. site. The bandage features anchors for I.V. tubing and is placed so as to frame the I.V. procedure site. Once the catheter is placed, deploying the door covers and secures the tubes and the catheter with a thin film of clear bandaging material.

An evaporator with a cool storage function includes a cool storage material container disposed at least one of air-passing clearances formed between adjacent refrigerant flow tubes, and fins disposed in air-passing clearances on opposite sides of the cool storage material container. The cool storage material container includes a container body portion joined to the corresponding refrigerant flow tubes, and an outward extending portion which extends from the front edge of the container body portion and projects frontward in relation to the refrigerant flow tubes. Each of the fins has a fin body portion joined to the corresponding refrigerant flow tubes, and an outward extending portion which extends from the front edge of the fin body portion body and projects frontward in relation to the refrigerant flow tubes. The outward extending portions of the fins are brazed to opposite sides of the outward extending portion of the cool storage material container.

An rotary cutting tool is presented that has a shank region, a cutting region terminating in a cutting tip, at least one a flute formed within the cutting region beginning at the cutting tip and terminating at a distal location towards the shank region, and a cutting edge formed along an outer border of each flute.

A kind of resilient hinge for spectacle frames and a method of manufacturing same. Said resilient hinge includes at least an axis as well as a positioning guide, a resilient medium and a stopper, which are fitted over and through the axis in the aforesaid order. The spectacle frame front and temple can be correspondingly closed and opened conveniently and smoothly through the resilience generated by the resilient hinges provided between the spectacle frame front and the temple. The positioning guide is thus designer to maintain the stability of this process. Said method should at least include the following steps: to make the axis into its basic form from a metal sheet; to reduce the diameter size of the end portion of the said axis bearing the basic form and process it into a cylindrical shape with a specified diameter; a hole is provided at the top end of the axis to form a hinge hole. The axis formed will have a high level of brightness without any traces of pressing marks on its surface, the smooth stretching out and bouncing back of the spring is guaranteed.
