Economical filler or coating pigments for use in increasing the opacity of paper, for example, newsprint or self-copying paper, which have a particle size of 0.1 to 1 mu m, (preferably 0.2 to 0.6 mu m), are made up of aggregates of microcrystals of CaF2 and/or MgF2, bound together by a gelled silica polymer. The pigments may be made by mixing CaF2 and or MgF2 to form an aqueous slurry, or the Ca...

A method of producing mixtures of pantyl/d-panthenol mixtures directly is provided by reacting d-pantolactone with a mixture of 3-ethoxy propylamine and propanolamine whereby the d-pantolactone reacts simultaneously with each amine in the same reaction vessel and produces pantyl and d-panthenol in the same weight % ratio as the ratio of gram molecules of 3-ethoxy propylamine to gram molecules of p...

An improved hair treating or conditioning composition that decreases the friction between hairs thereby facilitating in combing and brushing of hair treated therewith contains a formulation which is a mixture of d-panthenyl ethyl ether and d-panthenol in a weight ratio of about 9 parts d-panthenol ethyl ester to about 1 part d-panthenol. Such hair treating or conditioning compositions also exhibit...

In one aspect of the invention, an electrochemical reserve cell is assembled by arranging within a cylindrical housing a concentric arrangement of a container, a lithium sheet, a porous separator, and a porous carbon element. The container holds a quantity of electrolyte solute which may be either a salt or dissolved in a solvent. A quantity of liquid cathode solvent is inserted in the housing but...

A wind turbine operated electrical generator system, said system comprising a wind turbine of the axial flow type, the blades of the turbine including tip portions pivoted with respect to the remainder of the blade, a generator driven by the wind turbine and designed to operate within a given rotational speed range, said speed range being below the speed at which the wind turbine can develop its m...

Wood chips pass through a grinding slit which is formed between the static surface and the rotating disc. The grounding ground wood chips then pass to a second slit. Some of the stream which is generated in the first stage passes to the cyclone where it is separated and used to circulate the once-ground chips to the second slit via the screw.

Arrangement in a load container, arranged on a carrier, for example a motor vehicle, trailer, rail wagon or the like and having two end walls, two side walls, of which one can be moved aside for opening one side of the container, and with a bottom for side emptying of the load container. In order to permit such side emptying of load containers without restriction from any hydraulic cylinders situa...
