A two stage reaction for the production of steel from iron carbide is carried out in two separate but interrelated reactors. In the first reactor, iron, carbide, with slag formers, is fed into a feed end and the reaction is well-mixed by the vessel geometry, the stirring action below-surface injection of oxygen and iron carbide feed, and the evolution of gases from the liquid metal bath. The produ...

The present invention provides a method for the semi-continuous production of microcellular foam articles. In a preferred embodiment, a roll of polymer sheet is provided with a gas channelling means interleaved between the layers of polymer. The roll is exposed to a non-reacting gas at elevated pressure for a period of time sufficient to achieve a desired concentration of gas within the polymer. T...

Dephosphorisation of waste water comprises: (i) successive stages of (1) mechanical pretreatment; (ii) biological oxidn. in aerobic medium with simultaneous injection of at least one coagulating agent upstream and downstream of this stage; and (iii) clarification. The coagulating agent is pref. in the form of an aq. soln. of e.g. FeCl3, Fe2(SO4)3, AlCl3, Al2(SO4)3, aluminium polychlorides, mixed a...

La présente invention concerne un procédé de déphosphatation amélioré des eaux résiduaires. Ce procédé consiste à injecter simultanément un agent coagulant en amont et en aval d'une étape d'oxydation biologique en milieu aérobie. Le procédé permet l'élimination de 90, voir 95% et plus du phosphore des eaux résiduaires, en plus d'une dimunition des quantitées de coagulants à utiliser et du volume d...

A method for encapsulating optical fibers (26, FIG. 2) comprises the steps of bonding optical fiber to a first surface of a rigid flat member (17) and placing the flat member in a substantially air-tight chamber (10, FIG. 1). An encapsulating sheet(13) is located in the air-tight chamber, such that it faces the flat member. The air pressure on the flat member is then made to be significantly lower...

The present invention discloses a method for enhancing the wear-resistance of polymers by crosslinking them, especially before irradiation sterilization. In particular, this invention presents the use of chemically crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene in in vivo implants.

Oligomers having amide linkages of the following formula: wherein R<1> is H, C1-4 alkyl, C1-18-acyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl; R<2> is H, aralkyl, or C1-4 alkyl; B is a nucleoside base residue selected from the group consisting of adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, uracil; X is H, OR<1>, NHR<2> or NH-acyl; Y is OR<2> or NHR<2>; and n is a number from 5 through 25, and salts thereof.

Removable bullet resistant apparatus for windshields and rear windows of a vehicle includes a transparent panel which is disposed against structural elements of a vehicle and a layered mat is secured to the bottom portion of the transparent panel and disposed on the dashboard deck in front of the transparent panel for the windshield embodiment, and behind the transparent panel and on the rear deck...

A diaper containing a liquid pervious topsheet coated with a lotion composition is disclosed. The lotion composition reduces the adherence of BM to the skin of the wearer, thereby improving the ease of BM clean up. The lotion composition comprises a plastic or fluid emollient such as mineral oil or petrolatum, an immobilizing agent such as a fatty alcohol or paraffin wax to immobilize the emollien...

A diaper having a transverse partition. The transverse partition is upstanding from the topsheet and presents an abrupt discontinuity out of the plane of the diaper. The partition obstructs fecal material deposited in the rear portion of the diaper from migrating to the front portion of the diaper. The transverse partition has areas of relatively greater and relatively lesser effective heights. Th...

The present invention utilizes the smooth continuous motion of a masking belt to concentrate air-entrained absorbent materials on the surface of a moving fibrous substrate. Air flowing through the open areas of the masking belt carries the entrained material into the fibrous web. The fibrous web acts as a filter to separate the entrained material from the air stream. Substantially all dispensed ma...

Absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, incontinence briefs, diaper holders, training pants and the like having fit panels that improve body contact of the containment assembly with resulting improved, fit are provided.
