Abstract:
The production of solid lubricant agglomerates by combining solid lubricant powder, an inorganic binder, other fillers if optionally desired, and a liquid to form a mixture, and driving off the liquid to form dry agglomerates which are subsequently classified by size or milled and classified by size to yield agglomerates of a desired size range. These agglomerates are then treated to stabilize the binder, thereby strengthening the binder and rendering it nondispersible in the liquid. The undesired size ranges can be readily recycled because the agglomerates with untreated binder can be reprocessed, thereby promoting high recovery rates.
Abstract:
A method for treatment of bacterial infections with rifalazil administered once-weekly, or twice-weekly. A method for treatment of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, infections caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae and infections caused by Helicobacter pylori by administering to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection 1-100 mg of rifalazil once or twice a week. In this dose regimen, the treatment is fast, efficacious and eliminates undesirable secondary symptoms observed with daily doses of 1-50 mg of rifalazil.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a threaded joint for steel pipes which comprises a pin and a box each having a contact surface including a threaded portion and an unthreaded metal contact portion and which guarantees galling resistance and gas tightness in a stable manner without application of a compound grease. A solid lubricating coating comprising a lubricating powder (e.g., molybdenum disulfide) and an organic or inorganic binder is formed on the contact surface of at least one of the pin and the box. The proportion of area of a cross section along the thickness of the solid lubricating coating which is occupied by secondary particles of the lubricating powder having an equivalent circular diameter of 15-60 nullm is from 5-90%. Alternatively, the solid lubricating coating comprises, in addition to the lubricating powder, a fibrous filler (e.g., inorganic whiskers) in such an amount that the mass ratio of the fibrous filler to the binder is 0.01-0.5. As a result, galling resistance is improved, particularly at high temperatures.

Abstract:
A lubricant coating disposed between a substrate and a counter surface comprises a reaction layer immediately adjacent the substrate. A bonding layer is immediately adjacent the reaction layer, with the bonding layer comprising a first composition. A low friction, lubricious layer is immediately adjacent the bonding layer, with the lubricious layer comprising a second composition that is different from the first composition.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a specific hybrid series of transition metal polymer matrix composite sets which create durable friction reducing, wear, and corrosion resistance characteristics which can be used in a powder or liquid form, or, which can be bonded to a desired surface at ambient temperature. The specific components are combinations of polytetrafluoroethylene and molybdenum disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene and tungsten disulfide, or tungsten disulfide and molybdenum disulfide. This invention brings together the unique properties of organic chemistry (polytetrafluoroethylene) and inorganic chemistry (tungsten disulfide, or molybdenum disulfide). This invention creates a synergistic interaction which enhances the wear resistance properties of polytetrafluoroethylene while simultaneously improving the friction reducing properties of molybdenum disulfide, or tungsten disulfide. The material functionality of this invention is greatly improved over the individual friction-reducing and wear-resistance capabilities of its constituent components being use independently. The invention comprises varying mixture sets of polytetrafluoroethylene and molybdenum disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene and tungsten disulfide, or molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide, depending upon the desired friction and wear-resistance needed. This invention can be introduced into the lubrication of mechanical components in powder form, in a colloidal dispersion, or, can be applied and caused to bond directly to a substrate surface through a variety of mechanisms and manners to form a lubricious and wear-resistant layer ranging from 0.5 microns to 60 microns thick.
