Appl. No.:

10/816924

Inventors:

Christopher Eaddy - Raleigh NC 27610
Todd Marshall - Wake Forest NC 27588
Bob Marshall - Wake Forest NC 27588

International Classification:

B67B 500

US Classification:

22215313, 22215314, 222391, 222516, 222517

Abstract:

The child safe cream dispenser is a child-resistant pump-actuated dispenser for topical preparations having an elongated housing, the housing defining a container for holding a supply of cream or other viscous material. A plunger mechanism functions to advance a piston through a one-way ratchet or clutch mechanism so that successive operation of the plunger mechanism causes the piston to advance towards a dispensing opening. A trigger release mechanism disables the plunger mechanism until a release button has cleared the sidewall of the housing. The dispensing outlet may have a cap or a ball valve that is either pivoted or rotated to an open position by operation of the plunger trigger.

US Classification:

356 72

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for measuring characteristics of a piece of material, typically semiconductor materials including photovoltaic devices. The characteristics may include dislocation defect density, grain boundaries, reflectance, external LBIC, internal LBIC, and minority carrier diffusion length. The apparatus includes a light source, an integrating sphere, and a detector communicating with a computer. The measurement or calculation of the characteristics is calibrated to provide accurate, absolute values. The calibration is performed by substituting a standard sample for the piece of material, the sample having a known quantity of one or more of the relevant characteristics. The quantity measured by the system of the relevant characteristic is compared to the known quantity and a calibration constant is created thereby.
