The invention relates to an X-ray examination apparatus comprising a frame and a patient examination table which is slidably connected to the frame. This apparatus is particularly suitable for making Bucky exposures. The apparatus offers the advantage that it is very accessible from the sides, without mounting the guide rail (the guide rail supports the stand which supports the X-ray source) on th...

PURPOSE:To damp a speed change shock by arranging a check valve in a drain oil passage of a speed change control valve for the purpose of increasing a drain from rate at a time of a higher drain oil pressure during a smaller speed change ratio compared with that at a time of a lower drain oil pressure during a greater speed change ratio. CONSTITUTION:As a hydraulic system of a speed change control...

PURPOSE:To improve a discharge capacity by using polyolefin type synthetic pulp sheets, which are addition polymerized with a multifunctional hydrophilic monomer, as an inner-layer material of a cathode plate or a surface-layer material of the cathode plate. CONSTITUTION:By coating with a paste-like active substance 3 containing lead oxide and sulfuric acid on both sides and holding at a pressed s...

Highly abrasion-resistant transfer coatings are provided on a wide variety of substrates, thermoplastic or thermosetting, by transfer coating from a mold surface or a flexible web, such as by use of a heat transfer tape, an ultra-thin coating consisting essentially of a non-resinous binder material such as microcrystalline cellulose together with mineral abrasive particles, preferably alumina or a...

A defect detection system is especially applicable to string type potatoes for removing the black spots and includes removing or sorting out potatoes with black spots. It includes a pair of line scanning cameras focused on opposite sides of a vertical on a common line, spaced above the conveyor belt to the height of the potato. Such opposite sight lines provide for effective sensing of leading or ...

Tubeless tire curing rim apparatus having rim bodies which telescope together under spring pressure to form an initial seal between a tire bead and sealing rim flanges on the rim bodies and which telescope apart as the tire is inflated to form the conventional bead rim seal. The bead-to-bead spacing for the tire is adjustable by means of calibrated threaded rings on the rim bodies or by a means of...

A multilayer film comprising an aromatic polyester layer and a silicone resin layer formed on at least one surface of the aromatic polyester layer. The multilayer film has excellent transparency, heat resistance, dimensional stability, mechanical strength and optical property and an improved solvent resistance, and is useful as a material of a liquid crystal display panel.

Compositions comprising elastomeric polyurethane prepolymers comprising the reaction product of at least one diisocyanate selected from the group consisting of p-phenylene diisocyanate, m-phenylene diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexyl diisocyanate, tetramethylxylyl diisocyanate and dimethylphenyl diisocyanate and at least one polyol or polythiol characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl or thiol group...

A nutrient solution of a microorganism to be supplied to a fermentor or a culture broth in the fermentor is aseptically filtered by a porous filter medium made of polytetrafluoroethylene polymer and having properties impervious to microorganism, resistant to heat and chemicals, and hydrophilic, wherein said hydrophilic property was given to the surface of said filter medium with a treatment for hy...

Foams are prepared from a linear low density polyethylene and, optionally, other olefinic polymers, such as a low density polyethylene using a chemical cross-linking agent. The resulting cross-linked polyethylene foams exhibit an excellent balance of properties at generally lower densities than foams prepared from low density polyethylene only.

A process for producing a cholesteric liquid crystal polyester film or sheet possessing an ordered planar texture (monodomain structure), which process comprises providing a cholesteric liquid crystal polyester in which 1 to 10 mol % of constituent monomer units are optically active, allowing the cholesteric liquid crystal polyester to be formed in the temperature range of 150 DEG to 350 DEG int...

Polydiorganosiloxane compositions useful for producing flame resistant foam of the type containing finely divided nonmetallic fibrous heat resistant material and finely divided nonmetallic cellular heat resistant material tend to separate upon long time storage. The compositions remain homogeneous upon storage when at least 0.1 weight percent of fume silica is included in the composition during th...

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a polyamideimide semi-flexible foam wherein a foam precursor is first prepared by heating together a mixture of an organic polyisocyanate, an aromatic polycarboxylic compound and a catalyst comprising a cyclic phosphorus compound, optionally in the presence of a surfactant until at least about 45 percent of the theoretical carbon dioxide has been evolv...

An epoxy resin-polyammonium salt emulsion is based on a liquid epoxy resin, a latent curing agent, an emulsifier, and water. The emulsion is used in epoxy resin-cement mortars, in alkaline curing cement mixtures, and in adhesive compositions based on hydraulically setting alkaline cement binders.

The solvent resistance of polysulfone, polyether sulfone, and polyesters is enhanced by using difunctional end-cap monomers of the present invention to provide improved crosslinking. The imidophenol monomers include two unsaturated functionalities capable of crosslinking upon thermal or chemical activation. Oligomer, oligomer blends, pregregs, and composites using the novel end caps are also descr...

The invention relates to a reciprocating process and apparatus for laying profile pieces on a base in view of plotting and/or cutting off. The process is characterized by the fact that it comprises the storage into a computer unit (1) of the coordinates of templates, shapes, patterns for cutting out, after the positioning of the base on a plotting or cutting table, the direct or indirect projectio...
