Abstract:
Methods of making intermediate oxidation products by atomizing a first liquid (in the form of droplets) containing a reactant into a gas containing an oxidant in a manner to form an intermediate oxidation product different than carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. The oxidation rate is controlled by monitoring and adjusting the temperatures and/or conversions at critical points of the process.
Abstract:
Devices for making reaction products by atomizing into droplets a first liquid containing a first reactant into a gas containing a second reactant in a manner to form a reaction product within the droplets. The reaction is controlled by monitoring the transient conversion (conversion taking place in the time interval between the formation of the droplets and their coalescence into a mass of liquid) of first reactant to reaction product just before the droplets coalesce into a mass of a second liquid.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented for incinerating waste in increments in a controlled and efficient manner, based on an arbitrary factor labeled Relative Power Factor. Also, presented are methods and apparatuses for determining the Relative Power Factor.The Relative Power Factor is defined as the ratio of the maximum difference in temperatures recorded at a point in the combustion effluent stream and at a point in the hot gaseous stream prior to combustion to the time interval between ignition of the waste and the achievement of the maximum temperature difference.
Abstract:
A foldable box having, in addition to primary folding lines and flat segments, a number of latent destructive lines in a direction perpendicular to the length of the unfolded box. The latent destructive lines do not interfere with the formation and the normal function of the box. However, they serve to facilitate an irreversible destruction of the box, when the box is forced to be folded into a log-like structure.
Abstract:
Method of forming an integral three-dimensional object from a photohardenable liquid composition with low shrinkage containing a linear polymer which is soluble in the liquid but separates into a separate phase upon photohardening.
Abstract:
A process for coating polyvinyl fluoride layers on one or both sides of a textile material in the form of a coalesced gel which is subsequently cured by heating.
Abstract:
A fastener useful for securing articles on a hollow wall, made of a thin sheet of metal, shaped as to provide two spreadable pointed thin blades for easy insertion into a wall where after the blades are spread apart by the insertion of a screw to form an anchor resisting withdrawal.
Abstract:
A smooth heat-stable coating including a decorative pattern is applied to a substrate by applying and drying a primer coat and then applying, wet-on-wet, a base coat, an intermediate coat in the form of a decorative pattern, and a topcoat, then heating to dry the base, intermediate and topcoats simultaneously and to cure the entire coating.Each coat includes an aqueous carrier. The primer, base coat and topcoat include a heat-stable polymer stable at temperatures above 300.degree. C., preferably polytetrafluoroethylene.
Abstract:
Polysiloxane resin coatings containing a dispersed phase of particulate organic modifier which is tougher than the polysiloxane and which has an adequately high coefficient of friction have improved craze resistance permitting the use of thicker coatings with greater durability.
Abstract:
The discoloration of finishes derived from coating compositions containing(a) fluorocarbon polymer, along with(b) a polymeric adjunct, and(c) a liquid carrier, can be significantly reduced by adding to the composition, before it is applied, a compound which decomposes to an oxide or hydroxide of a particular metal.
