A process for effecting the high speed coating (as herein defined) of both sides of a lightweight paper sheet (as herein defined) with coatings of low dry coatweight (as herein defined), while maintaining good coating pattern and control over the degree of curl in the sheet when dried, comprising the steps of: moving an endless transfer surface sequentially through first, second and third stations...

An apparatus for mutual information transmission between an electronic lock and a key uses antenna coils at both the key and lock. A periodic signal is emitted from the lock and is received by the key upon activation of a key electronics and emission of a coded information signal. This returned signal received from the lock coil is briefly short-circuited or damped at the key side in order to prod...

Nonradiometric polynucleotide probe compositions comprising zymogen-activating polypeptide reporter moieties are disclosed, in addition to detection methods and systems employing said probes.

A valve that directs flow from an inlet to at least two outlets, and which counterbalances flow induced forces that tend to restrict flow to one of its outlets. The valve has a valve chamber formed in a housing, and the inlet communicates fluid to the valve chamber. A valve member is movable in the valve chamber to communicate fluid from the inlet to the two outlets. The valve member has a land wh...

The flat wood laminate material is bent into polygonal or elliptical shapes at cut lines.

The re-usable fixture is used to secure valuable items in a pocket or handbag against theft attempts.

The articles to be joined have raised bulge formations, and plastics clamps are used, which are set together to form a long strip for automatic feed into an applicator. This applicator (16) is pivotably fitted on a shaft pin (17) on a base plate (15). - The clamps (12) are fed into the applicator as a cohesive strip which, at the end of the process, is separated into individual clamps by bending. ...

On the side surface opposite to the mouth of the incisions, the material is treated with hot water, and in connection with the bending operation adhesive is poured into the incisions. - The adhesive used is pressed in and impregnates the wood layers, reinforcing them when it hardens. To make the cuts, a marking blade (1) is used which has a tapered part (1b) between outer and inner parts which hav...
