Coatings, which act as barrier layers to inhibit migration of alkali metal ions from a glass surface and/or act as colour suppressing underlayers for overlying infra-red reflecting or electrically conducting layers, are deposited by pyrolysis of a gaseous mixture of a silane, an unsaturated hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide on a hot glass surface at a temperature of 600 DEG C to 750 DEG C.

A universal winding consisting of a plurality of successive figure-8s spaced radially around a mandrel with the figure-8s being spaced such that the crossovers exist in all but one location to form a payout hole extending from the exterior of the winding into the interior of the axial opening therein in which the speed of the traverse or speed of the mandrel is varied with respect to one another i...

A guidance system for a self-guided vehicle features an electrical conductor and permanent magnets embedded together in an elongate groove formed in a vehicle-supporting surface such as a factory or warehouse floor. The electrical conductor provides steering guidance while the permanent magnets embedded with the conductor provide other information without distorting the magnetic field of the elect...

An automatically-guided, driverless vehicle for handling loads has a selectively openable and closeable load clamp. The clamp is equipped with various sensors for automatically sensing the load and other objects and surfaces surrounding the load, and controlling the movement of the clamp along a load-engaging direction, the vertical reciprocation of the clamp, and the opening and the closing of th...

PURPOSE:To measure an amount of static charge at a high accuracy with reproducing a conditions of measurement kept constant, by bringing a hair bundle into contact with insulating particles being fluidized floating to charge the hair with static electricity. CONSTITUTION:A working gas source is bound at the bottom of a cylindrical surrounding wall 2 of a charger body 1 to fluidize insulating parti...

PURPOSE:To obtain a porous membrane with good reproducibility, which has excellent separation performance and is suitable for use in the separation of mixed gases, by impregnating a porous membrane composed of an arom. polyimide with a weakly shrinking org. solven, and drying the membrane to shrink it to a given extent. CONSTITUTION:An arom. polyimide composed of at least 80% repeating unit of th...

An all wheel drive for a motor vehicle including a limited slip intermediate differential arranged between the front and rear axles of the vehicle. A plate clutch is included for providing a rotational moment as a function of the rotational speed difference relationship characteristic, to be transferred to the front axle from the rear axle which is different from the rotational moment transferred ...

An absorbent member, suitable for a tampon, is produced by ejecting a liquid against a sheet of water-absorptive fibers in order to interlace the fibers with each other and moulding under a pressure the sheet to form the absorbent member.

A prepreg obtained by impregnating fibers with an epoxy resin composition by a hot melt method is described, wherein the epoxy resin composition comprises components (A), (B), and (C), wherein (A) is an epoxy resin (B) is a hardening agent composition containing a hydrazide type hardening agent for an epoxy resin, and having a melting point of not higher than 160 DEG C., and (B) further contains ...
