PROCESS FOR CURING THICK-WALLED ARTICLES The heat-sink capacity of a thick-walled article being cured with a hot liquid supplying heat to one side of the wall, allows the point of least cure (PLC) to receive a higher rate of cure equivalents even after the hot liquid is replaced with a cold liquid. In the mean while, the other side of the wall continues to be heated. Because such a change-over is ...

A method of cutting a brittle workpiece comprises applying to the surface of the workpiece a pointed tool, applying high frequency vibrations in a longitudinal direction to the tool, and moving the tool along a line to be cut of the workpiece while applying substantially steady longitudinally directed pressure to the tool. Stress is thereby applied to the workpiece as a combination of short impuls...

A layer of plastic (12), either in film or coating form, is bonded to a sheet of non-woven material (10) to form a base. When film is used, it is preferably smaller in size than the non-woven material and affixed to the top surface thereof by an acrylic adhesive (11). The plastic film is coated, on its exposed surface, with a layer of acrylic adhesive (16). When the plastic is in the form of a coa...

The present invention concerns a transfer tail forming apparatus for weft feeders fed to a weaving machine, wherein a tail end (Y1b) of a feeder now in use (Y1) and a leading end (Y2a) of a preliminary feeder (Y2) are connected together using a knotter (11). The tail end (Y1b) and the leading end (Y2a) are automatically positioned and held in a predetermined position by a positioning means, and th...

An electrolyte-immobilizing mat (38) for a mat-immobilized-electrolyte battery comprising a plurality of randomly-oriented resilient fibres resistant to and wettable by sulphuric acid electrolyte, wherein the mat (38) is held in a stressed, pre-compressed state by a resin which is substantially insoluble in sulphuric acid but is sufficiently degradable therein under battery formation conditions to...

The thigh holders (11) and lower leg holders (14) are movably connected by a linkage (21). The lower leg holders enable the patient's two lower legs (15,16) to perform coordinated movements so that when the one knee is bent, the other lower leg is moved too. The pivot axle (58) of th linkage is coaxial with the pivot axle (71) of the knee joint. The lower leg holder has a roller guide (23) in the ...

The system has a working section computer system (13) which comprises a working region (A), in which it is established based on a detected vehicle speed (VO), whether the vehicle speed is measured. A permitted vehicle speed computer system (14) computes a permitted vehicle speed (Vk) at a vehicle position (Nk) virtually established in the working region (A), based on the determined vehicle speed a...

The carrier with bobbins consists of a base (2) with projecting spigots (3) which carry yarn tubes (4) with yarn (5). The yarn end on the first bobbin is knotted into the yarn start of the next bobbin so that the bobbins are unwound successively. At least one yarn guide (16) is arranged to operate in conjunction with the bobbin which is being unwound. USE/ADVANTAGE - For supplying weft yarn to aut...

A marked transparent body has, at a preselected internal location, one or more confined regions which are induced by laser radiation and which have optical properties different from the transparent material, the latter being transparent to the laser radiation. Also claimed is a method of marking bodies of transparent material.

Adhesive tape having a stitch bonded fabric (mali fabric) support coated on one or both sides with an adhesive.

To apply self-adhesive films to vehicles, initially a barrier agent is applied to the surface to be covered by the film. The edges, and separate zones remain free of the barrier agent. The barrier agent is mineral and synthetic oils and grease, liq. or creme products contg. oil or grease such as vaseline etc.

Improved methods are provided for incorporating carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide generating compounds into polyurethane foam forming compositions as blowing agents to eliminate or reduce the amount of low boiling liquid auxiliary blowing agents, such as methylene chloride and chlorofluorocarbons conventionally used in the manufacture of urethane foams.

The invention provides: a blowing composition for producing foamed articles of polyurethane comprising at least one of chloropentafluoropropane and isomer thereof, a blowing composition for producing foamed articles of polyurethane comprising (a) at least one of chloropentafluoropropane and isomers thereof and (b) 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane and a blowing composition for producing foamed articles ...

A cap (10) for dispensing liquids from a container (1) comprising a base portion; means to attach the base (14) portion to a container (1); and an off-center dispenser tip (12) projecting from the base (14) portion and having a passageway (20) extending between an orifice (22) at the distal end of the dispenser tip (12) and the interior underside of the cap (10), the axis of said passageway (20) f...

An abnormal message detecting and processing apparatus comprises an example message storing part (30) for storing examples of normal messages, a variable field information storing part (32) for storing information of a location of variable fields in the example messages, and an abnormal message detecting part (34). The abnormal message detecting part (34) compares input messages (36) with the exam...

In order to ensure excellent moulding of the rubber in the region of the markings appearing on the sidewall of a tyre, the shell 1 of the mould includes holes (perforations) 3 corresponding to the shape of the marking, into which is installed an insert 4 sliding in the hole 3. It is possible to adjust the relief of the marking. Venting is ensured by the clearance between the insert 4 and the hole ...
