摘要:
The present invention discloses an improved method of producing a low-cost, nitrogen-based inert atmosphere suitable for radiation curing of resins, coatings, etc. from non-cryogenically generated nitrogen. According to the disclosed method, residual oxygen present in non-cryogenically generated nitrogen is converted to either moisture or a mixture of moisture and carbon dioxide by reaction with a reducing gas in a catalytic reactor prior to using the nitrogen-based atmosphere for radiation curing of moisture insensitive materials such as resins and coatings.
摘要:
A process for high temperature sintering of ferrous powder metallurgy compacts having a substantially uniform carbon distribution which comprises:(a) heating the ferrous powder metallurgy compact in the heating zone of a sintering furnace to a temperature of about 2,300.degree. to 2,550.degree. F. (1,260.degree. to 1,399.degree. C.),(b) introducing to the heating zone an atmosphere comprising about 2 to less than 10 volume percent hydrogen, about 0.5 to 2.0 volume percent carbon monoxide, about 0.5 to 1.0 volume percent methane and the balance nitrogen, and(c) removing the sintered product from the furnace.

Barcodes are provided that convey images to help consumers and/or to help identify information about the origin of an article. The images conveyed by the barcodes may be associated with a merchant, a department, an event, a season, a theme or a product, for example. The barcodes may be placed on any number of articles including purchaser receipts, gift receipts, marketing receipt coupons, paper coupons, electronic coupons, rewards cards, gift cards, registry printouts, and products/packaging, for example. Under some embodiments, the barcodes help consumers to associate articles with a particular merchant or department. Under other embodiments, the barcodes help consumers to distinguish purchaser receipts from gift receipts. In some embodiments, the barcodes are generated dynamically by altering font-based barcodes to convey the image.

摘要:
An improved electric arc spray process for the deposition of reactive metals is disclosed which utilizes compressed inert gases for atomization. The improved process utilizes argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur hexafluoride, or mixtures thereof supplied to the arc spray gun such that the mass ratio of the wire feed rate to the gas feed rate is greater than 0.10. The process can be used to coat various substrates with metals or alloys comprising magnesium, zinc, lithium, and other reactive metals. The process is useful for the application of cathodic corrosion protective coatings on various substrates.
摘要:
A method is provided for managing a plurality of processes associated with a supply chain network. The method may include accumulating performance data relating to each of the plurality of processes and comparing the accumulated performance data against a predetermined threshold value. The method may also include assigning a performance indicator to the plurality of processes based on the comparison between the accumulated performance data and the predetermined threshold value. The method may further include displaying a first detail level of data relating to the accumulated performance data, and displaying a second detail level of data relating to the accumulated performance data, the second detail level being different from the first detail level.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for the electric arc spraying of powder-filled cored wires to apply hard, wear-resistant coatings to various substrates. Inert gas, preferably nitrogen, is supplied to the arc spray gun such that the mass ratio of the wire feed rate to the gas feed rate is preferably between about 0.07 and about 0.11. Operation in this range yields an optimum combination of coating hardness properties and arc spray gun operating characteristics.

摘要:
A chuck and a chuck system, and a method for processing a toroidal structure such as a tire carcass. The carcass includes an internal circumference and tapered ends. The chuck system comprises a plurality of chucks wherein each chuck includes a circumferential or substantially circumferential external surface and a plurality of friction reducing members positioned on the external surface. The friction reducing members are positioned to engage the internal circumference of the toroidal structure such as a tire. The method of processing a tire carcass includes positioning the tire carcass on fixed diameter chucks having friction reducing members on the external surface.
