The cage portion of a cage and roller assembly has two annular end rims joined by cross-bars around the periphery of each rim. The rims and cross-bars define multiple pockets which hold the rollers. The cross-bars are configured to contain the rollers within these pockets; in addition, coined ramp surfaces and land surfaces on the cross-bar outer surfaces extend radially outward farther than the o...

A hand-held or portable diathermy apparatus is disclosed comprising a housing, a battery power supply preferably within the housing, and at least one electrode carried by the housing. The apparatus includes a radio frequency power generator for generating an oscillatory current ranging between about 1 kilohertz and about 20 megahertz, and supplying this oscillatory current to the electrodes. A man...

In the case of a filtering separator, the housing of which is divided by a perforated partition into a filter space and a pure gas space the filter space being supplied with unrefined gas, receiving filter elements which are to be cleansed by counterflow flushing and/or agitation, and having a bottom dust collector trough incorporating a dust extraction conveyor, the dust obtained being partly fed...

An apparatus has a main tire-building drum and auxiliary tire-building drums which are mounted coaxially with one another. The main tire-building drum has a rotation drive. The auxiliary tire-building drums are mounted on supports which are connected to drives for their axial movement, have actuators for opening and closing the auxiliary tire-building drums and are operatively connected to the dri...

Dihaloformaldoximes of the formula: wherein R, X, X1 and Y are as defined herein having biocidal, fungicidal and pesticidal activity are disclosed.

A scanning system and method for optically measuring parameters such as dry basis weight, basis weight and moisture content of fibrous sheets during manufacture. The system includes a first track that extends generally parallel to one face of a traveling web in the cross direction; a stationary light source arranged to direct collimated light generally parallel to the first track; a first reflecto...

A buoyant article which can be used for floatation and/or insulation comprising a fibrous structure of a multiplicity of resilient, shape reforming, elongatable, nonlinear carbonaceous fibers and a coating for said carbonaceous fibers comprising a water insoluble, hydrophobic, cured or set material.

A silicone coating or a silicone release liner which has a polyester film base is better adhered to the film base and better resists removal when rubbed if the film base is first subjected to electron-beam irradiation while passing through an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.

PNEUMATIC TIRE HAVING PUNCTURE SEALING FEATURE Pneumatic tire having an adherent sealant composite on its inner surface comprised of an admixture of (A) partially pre-crosslinked butyl rubber, (B) polybutene, (C) thermoplastic copolymer tackifying resin and (D) mercaptosilane modified clay.

PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH PUNCTURE SEALING FEATURE Pneumatic tire having an adherent sealant composite on its inner surface comprised of an admixture of (A) partially pre-crosslinked butyl rubber, (B) polybutene, (C) thermoplastic copolymer tackifying resin and (D) reinforcing carbon black.

An inert, water-immiscible inert organic liquid having gas transport properties, water and a suitable emulsifying agent are formed into a stable gel by emulsifying a mixture of the same, concentrating the emulsion to form a gel phase and a liquid phase and separating the two phases. The resulting gel can be used as an ointment or cosmetic for skin irritations or wounds, or as a coating in industri...

A process for producing polyethylene materials is disclosed in which particulate polyethylene is drawn at lower temperatures than its melting point, the polymer having an intrinsic viscosity of 5-50 dl/g at 135 DEG C. in decalin and resulting from the polymerization of ethylene at temperatures below the above melting point and with use of a selected catalyst. The polyethylene materials excel in m...

A uniaxially oriented, polyolefin film is prepared by melt blending a mixture of a polyolefin, an inert filler, a processing aid such as calcium stearate, and optionally a stabilizer, maintaining the moisture level in the melt blend below 700 ppm, casting a film, and uniaxially stretching the film at least about 2 times its original casting dimensions in one direction until the film has a sufficie...

The present invention includes: (i) a method for making a coated particulate comprising the steps of heating until liquid a polyolefin wax; fluidizing with a hot gas, additive particles selected from the group comprising an antioxidant, a processing stabilizer, an acid acceptor, and mixtures thereof; spraying the liquid polyolefin wax on the heated fluidized additive particles; and maintaining the...
