The present invention discloses a planishing method for joined sheets made of a thermoplastic material. Welded ends of the plastic sheets are placed between two platens. The platens are heated to raise the temperature of the plastic material a sufficient amount to soften the plastic material without disturbing its molecular structure. The platens are pressed together with a sufficient pressure whi...

The connector between a pipeline and the fit-line (100) uses an inlet and an outlet port on the same side wall of the fitting. An adaptor (110) forming the coupling side, can be fitted on the side wall. It deflects the fluid flow from the adaptor to the inlet port from a plane (E), parallel to the connecting side, orthogonally in the inlet port direction. The adaptor deflects the fluid flow from t...

An electromagnetically actuator (10) is disclosed having an electromagnet (12), a core element (16), the core element having a normally biased initial spaced apart first position distal from the electromagnet when the electromagnet is off and a second stop position proximal from the electromagnet when the electromagnet is on, a first resilient member (20) adapted to bias said core element in the n...

Methods for making, methods for using and articles comprising cermets, preferably cemented carbides and more preferably tungsten carbide, having at least two regions exhibiting at least one property that differs are discussed.
