The cellular structure embodying the present invention includes a length of resilient material folded to form a plurality of planar layers. Each layer is attached to an adjacent layer to from a plurality of cells. Each cell includes a pleated side and an opposing support side. The pleated side has a fold defined by the material. Conversely, the support side has a straight length defined by the...

Multilayer high transmittance, low emissivity coatings on transparent substrates feature a special antireflective base film of at least two parts on the substrate-near side of a metallic, reflective film. A first of the two parts is in contact with the metallic film. This first film-part has crystalline properties for causing the metallic film to deposit in a low resistivity configuration. The sec...

Conversion of heat from high-temperature off-gases into useful work is accomplished with a process having first and second stages. The first stage comprises i) passing feed water through a counterflow feed water preheater which is heated by off-gas, to form preheated feed water; ii) converting the preheated feed water into steam in a steam boiler which is heated by off-gas; iii) superheating the s...

Date Aug. 22, 1991.A method of woven webs comprising tire cord splicing headers or tabbies can be stabilized against lateral (weft) distortion without the need for temples, by incorporating reinforcing weft strands of a stiff resilient yarn, i.e. a composite ya...

The method involves the end of at least one of the components (1) having an open recess (3) towards another of the components. The space is filled with a cast mass which then hardens. A stocking-type flexible elongated casing closed at one end (9) is pushed into the space and is then filled via an opening (11) with cast mass which activates the casing radially to locate against the surfaces defini...

The neck adapter has two end parts (11,12), the first (11) has a thread (6) to connect the adapter to a joint socket for a drill train. The second part (12) has a device (9) for transmission of torque to the adapter and drill train. Inside the body is an axially extending flushing medium channel (2), which issues in an outlet aperture (4) in the first end part of the body. A flushing medium is ins...

The invention relates to coloured luster pigments consisting of a transparent or metallic reflecting core, of a coating consisting of at least one silicon oxide of the composition SiO0.25 to SiO0.95 and of further optional coatings, to coating processes by coating metallic silicon in the presence of oxygen, if required with changing its partial pressure, as well as to the use of these luster pigme...

A method for determining the geolocation of a user terminal within a telecommunications system having a constellation of satellites which relay communications signals between earth stations and user terminals over preassigned channels. The method performs synchronization upon the telecommunications signals to calculate timing and frequency update information for the user terminals. The ...
