Abstract:
The invention relates to a high strength fibers comprising a coating of cross-linked silicone polymer, and ropes made thereof. The fibers are preferably high performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibers. The coating comprising a cross-linked silicone polymer is made from a coating composition comprising a cross-linkable silicone polymer. The rope shows markedly improved service life performance in bending applications such as cyclic bend-over-sheave applications. The invention also relates to the use of a cross-linked silicone polymer in a rope for an improvement of bend fatigue resistance.
Abstract:
A metal cord (C-1) having two layers (Ci, Ce) of 3+N construction, rubberized in situ, comprising an inner layer (Ci) formed from three core wires (10) of diameter d, wound together in a helix with a pitch p1 and an outer layer (Ce) of N wires (11) N varying from 6 to 12, of diameter d2, which are wound together in a helix with a pitch p2 around the inner layer (Ci), said cord being characterized in that it has the following characteristics (d1, d2, p1 and p2 being in mm): 0.08
Abstract:
A photomask for the fabrication of dual damascene structures and a method for forming the same are provided. A method for fabricating a multilayer step-and-print lithography (SFIL) template includes providing a blank having a substrate, an absorber layer and a first resist layer. A metal layer pattern of a dual damascene structure is formed in the substrate at a first depth using a lithography system. The first resist layer is removed from the blank and a second resist later is applied. The lithography system is used to form a via layer pattern of the dual damascene structure at the first depth while the metal layer pattern is simultaneously etched to a second depth.
Abstract:
An annular metal cord includes an annular core portion formed in an annular shape, and an outer layer portion spirally wound around the annular core portion while running over an annular circumference thereof plural times and covering an outer peripheral surface of the annular core portion. Each of the annular core portion and the outer layer portion are formed by a strand material which is formed by intertwisting a plurality of metal filaments. At least part of the outer layer portion is covered with an outer layer sheath made of a coating material having elasticity.
Abstract:
A load bearing member (22) useful in an elevator system (10) includes at least one elongated tension member (36), a conversion coating (46) on the elongated tension member (36), and a polymer jacket (34) at least partially surrounding the coated elongated tension member (36). In one example, the conversion coating (46) includes at least one of an oxide, a phosphate, or a chromate.
Abstract:
A high-security cable is provided, wherein the high-security cable is capable of achieving a smoothing of a work-to-break energy curve. The high-security cable is manufactured of a mixture of plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires, wherein the cable comprises a first constituent part of untwisted or twisted yarns, or untwisted or twisted yarns and metal wires, a second constituent part of doubled yarn, the doubled yarn manufactured of plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires, and a third constituent part of cord manufactured from the doubled yarns, wherein the doubled yarn is manufactured from plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires. The high-security cable can be used as a safety arrester cable, and can also be used to form a netting to serve as safety arrester netting or falling-rock protection netting.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprises a cord-reinforced layer such as carcass, belt, bead reinforcing layer which is made of metallic cords, each metallic cord is made up of six to twelve metallic filaments whose diameter is in a range of from 0.15 to 0.45 mm, the metallic filaments include waved filaments and unwaved filaments, each waved filament is two-dimensionally waved at a wave pitch and wave height before twisted, the wave pitch is in a range of from 5.0 to 35.0 times the diameter of the filament, and the wave height is in a range of from 0.2 to 4.0 times the diameter of the filament, and the metallic filaments are twisted together into the cord at a twist pitch of from 10 to 40 mm so that the two-dimensionally waved filaments are each subjected to a certain rotation around its axial.
Abstract:
A light weight cable bead core 30 is described having an inner core 33 made of a metal wire 34 with an outer sheath 35 of steel cord wires 36. Each cord 36 is made of a plurality of filaments 37. The bead core 30 is particularly suited for heavy-duty service conditions in tires 100 for aircraft, off-road equipment, and commercial trucks.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a reinforcing cable for a flexible endless caterpillar track made of an elastomer. The cable (30) comprises a plurality of strands (32C, 32P) each formed from steel filaments and arranged so as to be wound in a helix in the thickness of the belt. Each strand comprises a core composed of at least three filaments (34), an intermediate layer composed of a plurality of filaments (36) and surrounding the core, and an outer layer composed of a plurality of filaments (38) surrounding the intermediate layer. Application to caterpillar tracks for all-terrain vehicles.
