The method according to the invention for machining surfaces consists in that impressions (5) are created in the surface by means of one or more knurled rollers (7), the surfaces before knurling having been roughened by grinding or brushing. The depth of the knurling impressions (5) corresponds approximately to the average depth of the surface roughened e.g. by grinding. The non-roughened base mat...

An improved welding cup is made from graphite or ceramic fiber composites, coated with silicon nitride, sialon, boron nitride, or silicon carbide. The cup shows superior resistance to erosion, slagging, and thermal fracture.

Disclosed is a sanitary napkin (20) having flaps (78) folded over the topsheet (22). This arrangement helps to maintain the topsheet in a sanitary condition and is more convenient for the wearer than a configuration having the flaps folded over the backsheet. The flaps (28) may be maintained in this folded arrangement by a unitary release strip (46) which bridges the flaps and covers any adhesive ...
