A process for producing a tire reinforcement is characterized by the fact that each reinforcement cord is projected individually into its place in the reinforcement. For this purpose, a machine is used which comprises laying members comprising essentially a rotary conduit which projects the cord by a radially outer extremity of the conduit and rollers which impose a linear speed of laying of the c...

The invention is directed to a method for producing carbon containing fuel elements for smoking articles and to such a fuel element prepared by such method. In order to obtain a pure fuel element a carbon containing starting material is pyrolyzed at a temperature range between about 400 DEG C and 1250 DEG C in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, the pyrolyzed material is then cooled in a non-oxidizin...

An integral disposable absorbent article such as a diaper (20) provided with an absorbent core; a liquid impervious backsheet (42); a first barrier cuff (62) disposed adjacent each longitudinal edge of the absorbent article and each having a first proximal edge (64) and a first distal edge (66); a spacing means (76) for spacing the first distal edge (66) of each of the first barrier cuffs away fro...

A hollow fiber separatory module (10) includes an annular hollow fiber bundle (12) housed within a pressure resistant shell (22). The fiber bundle (12) is encased within an impervious barrier (18). Pressurized fluid is fed into the channel (34) formed between the impervious barrier (18) and the shell (22) and passes into the fiber bundle through an opening (19) in the impervious barrier. The fluid...

The inherent video noise and video-flashing encountered at the liquid nitrogen boiling point within a cryogenically cooled detector is substantially eliminated by filling any space which might entrap air with a flowable self-sealing silicone gel. The gel is sticky and maintains its adherence to both the cold finger and dewar as it is cooled to cryogenic temperatures without losing its internal sel...
