A display apparatus and method for displaying the value of the release threshold to which a ski binding is adjusted. The display apparatus is an electronic display means for electronically displaying the release threshold of the binding.

The invention is directed to a quick connect/disconnect mechanism for fastening structural members together. The inventive apparatus includes flanges with nonfacing ringular surfaces on each structural member. A bolt or other mechanism aligns the structural members and prevents movement in shear of one with respect to the other. A resilient clip having end portions which are U-shaped in cross sect...

Coextrusion from rubber of hollow tubular structures with filament reinforcement provides composites which can be formed into spliceless bodies for pneumatic tires. The composites can be formed from one, two, three or more rubber stocks and have portions or layers which can form the body plies, sidewalls, innerliners, stabilizer ply inserts and, optionally, abrasion gum strips of tire bodies. Tire...

A metal powder-containing polymer composition selected from the group consisting of [A] polymer compositions each containing a metal powder having an amino compound and a silane coupling agent compound deposited thereon; and [B] compositions each consisting essentially of: (a) powder of a metal having an amino compound or a mixture of an amino compound and a silane coupling agent compound deposite...

Polyurethane foams having improved physical properties are produced by placing a polymerizable polyurethane reaction mixture into a pressurizable chamber, then polymerizing the reaction mixture at an elevated pressure sufficient to prevent the resulting polymer from completely filling the chamber.

The passive track system comprises a passive track formed as a highly reflective strip adhered to the floor and containing a bar code, vehicle-supported passive track reading devices for forward and reverse travel as well as a bar code reading device. The passive track system can be operated as a passive track guidance system or as a passive track control system or both. The vehicle follows the pa...

Retroreflective sheeting has been improved by a coating comprising silica and a transparent polymer selected from aliphatic polyurethanes, polyvinyl chloride copolymers having a minor amount of a comonomer containing at least one carboxylic acid or hydroxyl moiety, and acrylic polymers. Silica comprises 10-80 weight percent (10-70% in the case of polyacrylates) of the transparent protective coatin...

To protect brake fluid against evaporation under extreme braking conditions, the brake fluid contained in the wheel brake cylinders is kept at a minimum pressure between 5 and 10 bar even after completion of a braking operation, thereby increasing the boiling point of the brake fluid. The wheel brake cylinders are designed as stepped cylinders with a counterpressure space, into which a likewise co...

A toothed power transmission belt (10) is manufactured by an improved method to have substantially improved resistance to tooth root face cracking. The manufacture utilizes a modified rubber blend forming the teeth (15) and may utilize the same blend for embedding the load-carrying cords (14) to provide improved bonding of the teeth (15) to the cords (14) over a wide range of temperatures.

A method for impregnating at least one surface of an aromatic carbonate resin article with an ultraviolet radiation screener comprising applying a protective masking element to at least one surface of said article, said protective masking element having disposed on the surface thereof which is in contact with said surface of said aromatic carbonate resin article an adhesive layer containing an eff...

Disclosed herein are free-standing, pinhole-free, ultrathin polyether sulfone films having thicknesses of about 400 angstroms or less and a process for preparing them. The films find particular utility in separatory applications.

An expansion-molded article of a polypropylene resin is produced by filling pre-foamed particles of the polypropylene resin, which have a crystalline structure featuring an inherent peak inherent to the polypropylene resin and a high-temperature peak on the temperature side higher than the temperature corresponding to the inherent peak on a DSC curve obtained by differential scanning calorimetry o...

A breathable polyolefin film is prepared by melt embossing a highly filler polyolefin film to impose a pattern of different film thickness therein and by stretching the melt embossed film to impart greater permeability in the areas of reduced thickness in comparison to the areas of greater thickness.

A process for producing porous ceramics with controlled microstructure. Colloidal suspensions of polymeric microspheres of a selected size and shape, and aluminum oxide particles are consolidated to form a compact.
