Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a solid propellant charge for rocket engines having a short burning time, e.g. from 70 to 1,000 milliseconds which comprises a plurality of windings substantially equally spaced from one another at a prescribed distance, e.g. from about 0.2 to about 10 mm. and exhibiting a definite geometric shape, each of said windings consisting essentially of a supporting member embedded in an adhesive layer and a layer of propellant adhered to both sides of said adhesive layer.
Abstract:
1. A PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF 2,2-BIS-(4-HYDROXY3,5-DICHLOROPHENYL)-PROPANE OBTAINED BY CHLORINATING 2,2BIS(4-HYDROXYPHENYL)-PROPANE WHICH COMPRISES FORMING A SOLUTION OF SAID 2,2-BIS-(4-HYDROXY-3,5-DICHLOROPHENYL)PROPANE BY ADMIXING THE SAME WITH AT LEAST ONE ALIPHATIC HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENT THEREOF SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF METHYLENE CHLORIDE, METHYLIODIDE ETHYLBROMIDE, TRANS-1,2-DICHLOROETHYLENE, 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE, 1,2-DIBROMOETHANE, AND 1,4-DICHLOROBUTANE, ADDING WATER THERETO WHEREBY CAUSING A CHLORINATED PRODUCT TO PRECIPITATE AND CRYSTALLIZE THEREFROM; SEPARATING SAID CHLORINATED PRODUCT FROM SAID WATER AND SAID ALIPHATIC HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENT AND RECOVERING 2,2-BIS(4-HYDROXY-3,5-DICHLOROPHENYL)PROPANE FROM SAID CHLORINATED PRODUCT.
Abstract:
1. A PROCESS FOR CONVERING MONOCLINIC ZIRCONIUM OXIDE TO CUBIC ZIRCONIUM OXIDE, WHICH MONOLINIC ZIICONIUM OXIDE HAS BEEN OBTAINED BY THE FLOTATION SEPARATION OF A ZIRCONIUM OXIDE-SILICON OXIDE MIXTURE, INCLUDING FINELY GRANULATING THE ZIRCONIUM OXIDE RECOVERED FROM SAID FLOTATION SEPARATION; TREATING SAID GRANULATE FROM SAID FLUORIIC ACID SOLUTION HAVING A CONCENTRATION OF BETWEEN 5 AND 10% SEPARATING THE SO-TREATED GRANULATE FROM SAID SOLUTION, MIXING SAID GRANULATE WITH AT LEAST ONE OXIDE OF A METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, YTTRIUM, THORIUM AND CERIUM; AND HEATING SUCH MIXTURE TO ABOUT 1,000 TO 2,000:C., WHEREBY CONVERTING SAID MONOCLINIC CRYSTAL STRUCTURE SUBSTANTIALLY TO A CUBIC CRYSTAL STRUCTURE IN THE SOLID STATE.
Abstract:
Device for the inflation of safety cushions in motor vehicles wherein a single electrically actuatable charge is disposed in a case provided in one end of a container filled with gas under pressure, one side of said case facing the other end of said container being rupturable by said charge, and an axially displaceable member disposed in said container for rupturing the end of said container upon rupture of the one side of said case.
Abstract:
Finishing and/or coating compositions, particularly for use with metallic pigments and for covering metallic surfaces, which use as the binder for the pigment partially hydrolyzed alkoxy silanes of the general formula:
WHEREIN R1 is alkyl, aryl, alkenyl or aralkyl; R2 are alkyl groups of one to 10 carbon atoms; m is 0 to 10; and n is 1, 2 or 3. The coatings of this invention give superior cathodic protection, have improved thermal stability and have improved crack resistance as compared to otherwise similarly pigmented coatings which utilize different binders.
Abstract:
A self-destructing apparatus for impact-detonating explosive devices having a piezoelectric fuze responsive to sonic waves for detonation of the device. The apparatus includes means responsive to at least one of firing or dropping of the impact-detonating explosive device for triggering a sonic wave generator after a predetermined time delay, the sonic wave produced by the generator being transmitted to the piezoelectric fuze for detonation of the explosive device, thereby ensuring destruction of the device.
Abstract:
A horizontally disposed blow molding apparatus having an oscillating or rotating portion, a fixed portion and a seal disposed between the portions. The seal includes a bushing of spring steel with unilaterally formed, razor-sharp lips positioned in the fixed part and a bushing of bearing bronze located in the rotating part. The seal is preferably arranged in the zone of the axial material inlet to the blow molding apparatus. Advantageously, the steel spring bushing includes an annular groove in communication with a discharge pipe.
Abstract:
A safety device for vehicles, especially automotive vehicles, having a bag disposed in front of the occupant and being inflatable in the manner of a cushion, which bag is in operative connection via a diffuser with a source of compressed gas which can be actuated by an ignition device triggered by a release element responding when a predetermined deceleration value has been exceeded, wherein the diffuser is fashioned as a cover which is resiliently connected to the source of compressed gas and is disposed in the manner of a cap over the source of compressed gas so as to be displaceable to a limited extent in a telescopic manner.
Abstract:
PURIFICATION OF TRICHLOROSILANE COMPOSITIONS WHICH ALSO CONTAIN HIGHER HYDROGEN CONTENT SILANES AND MAY FURTHER CONTAIN TETRACHLOROSILANE BY ADMIXING AND REACTING THE COMPOSITION WITH ELEMENTAL CHLORINE AT -30* C. TO 300* C. FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT OT CONVERT SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF SAID HIGHER-HYDROGEN SILANES TO TRI- OR TETRACHLOROSILANE, AND THEN RECOVERING THE TRICHLOROSILANE, POSIBLY BY DISTILLATION.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a process and arrangement of elements for welding explosive plated metal sheets which substantially eliminate the formation of cracks when the weld is exposed to mechanical stresses.
