The run-flat tire of this invention includes a pair of bead regions, a crown region with a tread and a tread reinforcing package including a cap ply and self supporting sidewalls between each bead region and the crown region. An innerliner ply maintains air within the inflated tire. The self supporting sidewalls each include a first crescent-shaped reinforcing member, an inner carcass layer, an in...

Disclosed are branched polyester compositions having an I.V. of at least about 0.7 dl/g and a melt viscosity sufficiently high to permit foaming during extrusion or molding operations. These branched polyesters are readily foamable with a wide range of foaming agents to provide low density shaped articles, films and sheets. The branched polyesters comprise about 80 to about 99.9 wt.percent of a po...

A method for manufacturing metal by a cold worked powdered metal forging process is disclosed. A certain amount of a powdered metal is measured out and then compacted into a briquette or other compact. The briquette is then sintered to form a preform. After sintering, the preform is then cold worked to increase its strength. After cold working, the preform is forged to form the desired part. The r...

Heat-setting foaming reactive compositions based on natural and/or synthetic, olefin double bond-containing rubbers, vulcanising agents and foaming agents with a high sulphur content allow rubber foams with high structural strength and cubic expansion to be obtained. These compositions are useful as multifunctional filling materials for hollow bodies or sections in the car or machine building indu...

This is a braided tubular device used in the occlusion of various lumen or cavities in the body. In particular, it may be used to form an endovascular occlusion. Most desirably, it is braided of a majority of super-elastic alloy ribbons and therefore is both inherently non-stretching and most difficult to permanently deform. It may be deployed using an electrolytically severable joint. A radio-fre...
