Abstract:
A hydrophobic zeolite is prepared having high Hydrophobicity Index number by calcining a zeolite with steam under turbulent condition with respect to flow pattern of the zeolite and at a temperature within the range of 650-1000° C.
Abstract:
The mesopore volume in pores of diameters ranging from 2 to 60 nm of zeolite Y materials is increased by the hydrothermal treatment of such zeolites at temperatures above the atmospheric boiling point of the treating solution. Unique zeolites are produced as result of such process.
Abstract:
A splice cradle for use with fiber optic splices, such splice cradle being useful with many different types of splices and including a base, which holds the fibers in place without constraint, a lid which protects the splice from damage, and a resilient member therebetween which cushions the splice against vibration.
Abstract:
A composition for adhering to human nails includes a mixture of a cyanoacrylate compound and/or graphite fibers. Such composition can take the form of either an artificial nail extender or a nail coating. The composition for forming an artificial nail includes graphite fibers, a cyanoacrylate, and a hardening accelerator containing a mixture of trichlorotrifluoroethane and N,N-dimethyl-P-toluidine. The accelerator is adapted to be sprayed onto a base material containing the graphite fibers and cyanoacrylate in the form of a mist. Nail compositions containing graphite fibers have significantly increased strength yet remain flexible to allow for flexure of the nail. The cyanoacrylate compounds increase the chemical bonding of the compositions to a nail.
Abstract:
Pulling eyes are provided with an integrated lug for electrically coupling conductors or cables to terminating equipment. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage a bare metal portion of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the bare metal portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions are assembled to pulling ropes or cables for installing the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may further include integrated lugs electrically attached or coupled to the body portions and configured to electrically couple the conductor to terminating equipment.

Abstract:
Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.
Abstract:
A garment security clip (10) has upper and lower jaws (11,12) and a slider (13) to restrain the jaws which are pivoted (at 14). In one form, an inwardly directed projection (18) snaps over spaced projecting ribs (19) along the lower jaw (12). Alternatively, ribs (30) on the top of the upper jaw (11) are engaged by a projection (31) inside the slider (13). A microswitch (21) mounted on the lower jaw is normally received within an aperture (20,27) of the upper jaw except where the aperture is covered by fabric which then operates the microswitch (21) which is connected to energize an alarm system.
Abstract:
Y-type zeolites with unit cell constants of less than 24.14 .ANG. are prepared by improving the method of dealumination and aluminum ion exchange. Zeolites with such low unit cell constants have not been known previously.
Abstract:
Apparatus for interfacing outside plant fiber optic cable with fiber optic testing, multiplexing and transmission equipment, including a stationary housing and moveable integrated connector panel, splice shelf and cable storage unit.
