Abstract: An improved seal and method of making is disclosed for sealing a filter element to a filter mounting. The improved seal comprises a bonding pad formed from a sintered matrix of randomly oriented metallic fiber. The bonding pad is disposed between the filter element and the filter mounting. A mechanical fastener coacts between the filter element and the filter mounting for compressing the bonding pad to provide a seal between the filter element and the filter mounting. The bonding pad may be heated to create a frangible seal.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment room temperature electrically conductive or semiconductive ceramic paths or areas are produced on carbide and nitride ceramic substrates by a process of controlled oxidation using localized thermal heating (e.g., laser heating) by tracing desired paths onto the substrates, where air is the source of oxygen. In another embodiment, nitride and carbide ceramic substrates are converted to electroconductive or semiconductive ceramics where the substrate is characterized as whiskers, fibers, flakes or platelets whose dimensions are in the micron range, by controlled oxidation as prescribed by laser beam processing. The resulting conductive or semiconductive paths or surfaces of the substrate comprise electrically conductive or semiconductive nonstoichiometric aluminum-nitrogen-oxygen ceramic, when the initial ceramic substrate material is aluminum nitride(A1N); and electrically conductive or semiconductive nonstoichiometric silicon-carbon-oxygen ceramic, when the initial ceramic material used is silicon carbide (SiC). The path cut into the surface on a flat substrate can serve e.g. as electrical interconnects akin to printed circuitry on a wiring board and patterns of semiconductors formed can serve e.g. as semiconductive devices akin to rectifier devices. In the instance of the whiskers, fibers, flakes or platelets, the electrically conductive surfaces thereof may be used directly or enhanced for example, by coating other conductor metal or alloys onto the surface for uses e.g. as composite materials in matrices at the microstructural level.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for processing steel strand wire cable and the like for use in prestressed concrete is disclosed in which the outer surface of the cable produced has a substantial pure rust or hydrated oxide coating thereon enabling the cable to be utilized immediately in concrete configurations to thereby produce substantially higher flexural strengths in prestressed concrete than heretofore in the prior art. The apparatus and method specifically encompasses the use of ultrasonic cleaning equipment which causes cavitation cleaning effects in the liquid medium through which the cable passes during its cleaning process. In effect, the ultrasonic cleaning "catalyzes" the chemical redox reactions by removing all surface inhibitors and reducing reactant diffusion barriers thus accelerating surface wetting of the strand cable with H.sub.2 O and O.sub.2, such that the rusting chemical reactions can occur spontaneously. The dominant bond developed between the steel and concrete is chemical. The bonding or wetting agent is ferro-orthosilicate, formed by the reaction of pure rust (FeO.Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3) with silicates (SiO.sub.2) in the cement mixture used for making the concrete structure.
