A disclosed structural and light concrete includes a binding matrix and light aggregates. The binding matrix has a volume fraction from approximately 20% to approximately 50% of a concrete total volume and include: (1) a Portland Type I, II, III, IV or V cement or a mixture thereof, in a dose of at least 100 kg/m3 of concrete; (2) supplementary cementitious materials in a proportion of up to 4 times by volume of Portland cement; (3) a water component having a volume fraction relative to cement and supplementary cementitious materials in a range from approximately 0.2 to approximately 0.7; and (4) a maximum volume fraction of calcium hydroxide (CH) of approximately 10%. The light aggregates correspond to a volume fraction a range from approximately 30% to approximately 80% of the total concrete volume. Properties include increased compression resistance, decreased density, lower thermal conductivity and higher quotient of density resistance.

Disclosed are (1) osteogenic devices comprising a matrix containing substantially pure natural-sourced mammalian osteogenic protein; (2) DNA and amino acid sequences for novel polypeptide chains useful as subunits of dimeric osteogenic proteins; (3) vectors carrying sequences encoding these novel polypeptide chains and host cells transfected with these vectors; (4) methods of producing these polypeptide chains using recombinant DNA technology; (5) antibodies specific for these novel polypeptide chains; (6) osteogenic devices comprising these recombinantly produced proteins in association with an appropriate carrier matrix; and (7) methods of using the osteogenic devices to mimic the natural course of endochondral bone formation in mammals.
摘要:
An effort linearization device for an accelerator pedal, includes a throttle body, a throttle valve arm rotatably connected to said throttle body, said throttle valve arm being provided at one end thereof with a roller means, a guide arm rotatably connected to said throttle body and provided with a guide slot which extends along said guide arm, said roller means extending into said guide slot, a first return spring operatively connected to the throttle valve arm and biased against the rotation of said arm, a second return spring operatively connected to the guide arm and biased against the rotation of said arm, and means for rotating said throttle valve arm against the bias of said first spring which in turn causes the roller means to traverse said guide slot, causing the guide arm to rotate against the bias of said second spring, whereby the operation of the accelerator pedal functions in a controlled manner through both acceleration and deceleration.
摘要:
A door frame having excellent fire-resistance, flexural strength and screw holding properties is fabricated from gypsum fiberboard, specifically a gypsum fiberboard having a density of at least 60 lbs./cu.ft., a flexural strength of at least about 30 lbs. (1/2" thick material), and a screw holding capability of at least about 400 lbs. A preferred gypsum fiberboard material for fabrication of the door frame comprises a composition containing a substantially uniform dispersion of solids including by weight about 65% to 90% set gypsum, about 7% to about 30% pulped paper, up to about 9% binder, and about 0.8% to 2% inorganic fiber. A wood veneer is preferably applied to the visible faces of the gypsum fiberboard door frame members.
摘要:
A process and device for the manufacture of plastic fiber boards made of balls of expanded glass, expanded clay, pumice granules, mica, or a similar material and a foamed organic binder, such as epoxy resin, PU phenol resin, or the like. The binder is mixed with the balls, foamed, and hardened in a matrix space formed between two mold plates (1, 2) positioned at a distance one from the other. In order to obtain a particularly light but stable plastic fiber board, uniformly distributed recesses opening toward the internal sides of the plates are provided to contain the mixture located between the two mold plates during compression and before hardening. The device employed to implement the process includes two mold plates (1, 2), which are brought together in a press to compact the introduced therebetween. The inner surface of each mold plate (1, 2) is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed, conical mold bodies (4, 5), whose cross-sections running parallel to the mold plate surface decreases in the direction of the other mold plate.
