摘要:
Microfibers have been manufactured from dissolved cellulose, from which threads, yarns, and fabrics can be made. These cellulosic microfibers may be used to produce fabrics with the very soft feel that is characteristic of microfiber fabrics, and the water absorbency and comfort of cellulosic fabrics. Furthermore, since the microfiber diameter may be 2 &mgr;m or smaller (about the same size as dust particles and small oily droplets), these fabrics have an exceptional ability to remove dust and oil droplets from surfaces and gas streams, and are therefore useful in filter media. The novel microfibers may be manufactured by the continuous flow of dissolved cellulose through a converging die. Imposing orientation in the incipient microfiber prior to or during crystallization of the cellulose produces continuous fibers of substantial aspect ratio, without significant entanglement.
摘要:
Elongational viscosity may be easily and accurately measured by observing the flow characteristics of a high viscosity fluid through a hyperbolic or semi-hyperbolic die, without lubrication of the fluid flowing through the die. The effects of developing orientation in the fluid during converging elongational flow are so strong that the shearing contribution becomes negligible in comparison, eliminating the need for lubrication during measurements.
摘要:
A method of identifying and installing a plurality of electrical or other signal carriers, pipes, tubes or the like within a building structure. The method includes the steps of determining the paths along which the various carriers are to be laid out within the structure, formulating a retrievable record of such paths, storing and retaining the retrievable record of such location information in an accessible computer memory or the like, and assigning a unique identifying expression to each of the carriers. The unique identifying expression is reproduced on spaced apart portions of each of the carriers, and the carriers are then installed according to plan. By using the unique identifying expression to access the computer memory, the location of all points along each carrier can be determined.
摘要:
Rayon/nylon and other sheath/core composite fibers or other materials, with good adhesion between sheath and core resulting from an adhesion promoter. The adhesion promoter is difunctional and sterically hindered. Fumaric acid and terephthalic acid are preferred adhesion promoters for the composite fibers or other materials, because each compound has both difunctionality and steric hinderance, allowing either to form covalent bonds to both the sheath and the core. Fibers produced in accordance with this invention may be used to produce fabrics which have the strength and wrinkle resistance shown by a number of synthetic fibers, but with the water absorption characteristics of natural fibers such as cotton.

Silica products obtained from trivalent metal e.g. Al compounds and silica can be used as corrosion inhibitors or adhesion promoters for organic coatings on surfaces by way of no-rinse or phosphating treatment or as pigments.
摘要:
A sheath core fiber having an inner continuous core made from an oriented thermoplastic material, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and olefin completely surrounded by an adherent continuous sheath which is not readily removable from said core, is retained on said core during ultimate usage of said fiber, and is made of a nonthermoplastic material, such as regenerated cellulose and protein. The fiber maintains the crease and tear resistance of the core material, yet has the water sorptivity and dyeability of the sheath material.A method of manufacturing such a fiber is also disclosed.
摘要:
A floor structure support system comprising a main floor which directly supports one or more computers and one or more additional floors disposed beneath the main floor. The additional floor or floors provide support and mechanical isolation for cables and other electrical conductors, and include sidewalls defining vertical passages to the main floor; one or more of the additional floors may be used as environmental control ducts, with or without sidewalls in addition to those forming the vertical passages. A modular system of support columns, brackets and floor and wall panels is disclosed.
摘要:
A channeled photosensitive element is described. In particular, the element has a substantially solid photosensitive, thermoplastic layer having grooves or channels therein, the layer being applied with pressure to a surface, e.g., having raised areas such as in a printed circuit board without entrapping air bubbles.
