A process for rehabilitation of internally reinforced concrete which comprises the temporary application of an adherent coating of an electrolytic material (12) to surface areas of the concrete. Distributed electrode (13) means, preferably a wire grid, is embedded in the adherent coating. Voltage sufficient to develop a current of about 1-5 amps/m<2> is applied between the reinforcement and the di...

Materials (I) with a viscosity of 1000-100,000 mPa.s which are crosslinkable to form elastomers, based on (A) hollow plastic bodies and (B) crosslinkable organo-silicon compounds. Also claimed is (i) a process for the production of (I) by mixing (A) and (B); (ii) mouldings, seals and castings made from (I); (iii) a process for the production of such mouldings etc. by casting (I) in a mould.

A laser by which the length of the light path between the laser and a laser beam machine can be shortened. The apparatus is provided with a laser resonator and reflection mirrors which reflect the laser beam emitted from the laser resonator and cause the beam to go backward. The laser beam emitted from the output mirror of the laser resonator and reflected by the reflection mirrors travels on the ...

Multilayer fluid conduits are formed by adhering to a tubular outer surface of a metal pipe, a thermoplastic outer layer. The outer layer permits ends of the multilayer conduit to be joined together in leakproof fluid conduit systems simply by adhering the conduit ends with compatible thermoplastic fittings. For fire protection systems, the preferred metal is steel, the preferred thermoplastic is ...

A pivot joint for pivotably connecting together two members (40, 41) comprises a joint body (1) including first attachment means (30, 31) for attaching the body (1) to a first member (40), second attachment means (5, 6) for attaching the body (1) with sufficient play to the second member (41) to allow pivotal movement between them, the second attachment means (5, 6) being provided with sprung rete...

A scanning system for optoelectronically recorded signal patterns stored in a plural layer medium consisting of inorganic materials throughout and featuring a dielectric storage layer at the surface which faces an electron beam source. The source beam first searches for a position mark associated with an image frame on the medium in order to establish a precise home position of the beam and associ...

Silver-filled glass pastes useful for the attachment of silicon semi-conductor devices (dies) to substrates comprise particulate silver and a lead phosphate glass, together with conventional organic components. The pastes have low bonding temperatures, and give good adhesion at firing temperatures of 350 to 460 DEG C.

A sputter-coated layer system on a glass substrate particularly useful in insulating glass (IG) units, enables normal emissivity values (En) of 0.06 or less, good durability and neutral color. The layer system includes two layers of Si3 N4 combined with a sufficient amount of stainless steel sandwiching a layer of silver to achieve its unique low-E, neutral color, non-mirrorlike solar management p...
