Title: Mask and manufacturing method using mask
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 2002-07-02
Abstract: A mask 12 includes half-tone layer 16 and light blocking layer 20.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a safety device
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: A safety device for raising the rear part of a hood or bonnet of a vehicle incorporates a plurality of inter-nested sleeves 9 - 12 and an extension element 13, which are spaced apart by O-rings 27 - 31.
