PURPOSE: To make one pressure disk diverge from the other in the direction of rotation of a bead core and also to make them converge mutually in the direction of the axis of rotation of the bead core so that joining can be ensured, during the time when the disks are in an idle state and set free from a driving means and a filler is applied. CONSTITUTION: After a bead core 5 engages with a centerin...

PURPOSE:To efficiently control an operation to thereby extend a tune-up cycle by predetermining a specified load allowance function and allotting a load according to the control factor data for each reactor in a reaction series involving a plurality of reactors. CONSTITUTION:Preparation is made for a load allowance function which is a function showing the operating conditions of each reactor in a ...

A product and process for imparting decorative appliques to the sidewalls of tires during the curing operation are presented. A spool of applique composite material is maintained for feeding into a tire mold or onto a transfer device, thereby defining a ring for vulcanization to a tire. The applique consists of a laminate received upon a carrier, the laminate having a first barrier layer and a con...

Disclosed is a film having antistatic characteristics and a method to make the film. The film comprises a blend of polyether block amide copolymer with an aromatic sulfonamide antistatic agent.

A solid state light modulator structure useful in a video display system includes a deformable silica containing gel layer on an array of charge storage elements, and an adherent, highly light reflective metal (e.g., Ag) electrode layer formed directly on the surface of the gel layer by sputtering in a non-reactive atmosphere.

A foam material, particularly suitable for use as a midsole material for an athletic shoe, comprises polyethylene modified by an elastomer modifier and cross-linked, preferably using a peroxide cross-linking agent, to form a closed cell foam material which has superior strength properties, improved energy return and reduced sensitivity to temperature change.

A glass fiber base material for print wiring substrate is disclosed, comprising a fluorescent whitening agent attached to the surface of a sheet made of glass fibers such as woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics and paper. The glass fiber base material has excellent ultraviolet light-shielding properties and, hence, is very useful in production of super LSI.

Disclosed herein are free-standing, pinhole-free, ultrathin, blended, cellulose nitrate films having thicknesses of about 400 angstroms or less and a process to prepare them. The films find particular utility in separatory applications.

Disclosed herein are pinhole-free, ultrathin, polymethylmethacrylate films having thicknesses of about 400 angstroms or less and a process to prepare them. The films find particular utility in separatory applications.

Disclosed are photographic elements having reflective or diffusely transmissive supports shaped from a continuous polyester phase having dispersed therein microbeads of cellulose acetate which are at least partially bordered by void space, the microbeads of cellulose acetate being poresent in an amount of about 10-30% by weight based on the weight of said polyester, said void space occupying about...

Phenolic foams having a cell structure that is resistant to rupture under pressure and a slow deterioration of thermal insulation value are claimed. These foams can be cured to achieve dimensional stability without substantial adverse affect on their structure.

A polyimide precursor mixture having a solids content of 50 to 77 (preferably 65 to 75) weight percent is subjected to a multistaged thermal treatment in which the precursor is heated to one or more temperatures sufficient to obtain a consolidated but friable cellular foam structure, and the resultant cellular foam structure is then subjected to one or more higher temperatures sufficient to cure t...
