An prehensile excavator bucket includes a bucket and a reinforced thumb hingedly affixed to the bucket and that is controlled in conjunction with the bucket for purposes including seizing very heavy items. The thumb may be a single internally-static unit having multiple tines reinforced with metal tubes. The prehensile bucket may have a quick couple receptor so that it can be quickly attached to and detached from an excavator stick with a quick couple mechanism. Because the thumb is permanently attached to the bucket, the thumb and bucket together form a single unit strong enough for gripping and moving very heavy items.

An extruder barrel for twin screw extruders. The barrel body has a removable insert firmly seated in an insert receiving opening extending centrally and longitudinally therethrough. The insert has two circular bores with parallel axes extending centrally and longitudinally therethrough, the bores being in communication along a common chord. The walls of the bores have a wear and corrosion resistant layer that is a powder metallurgical material that is preferably applied by hot isotactic pressing. The preferred powder metallurgical material forming the wear resistant layer is a composition containing at least 50% by weight tungsten carbide with the remainder being nickel. The outer surface of the insert has a thin layer of a heat conductive, malleable material, such as copper, adhered thereto.

Fibers and filaments of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin that have a void volume greater than about 20% and are wettable. Wettability is imparted to the fibers and filaments by incorporating a filler into the composition that is hydroscopic, has a particle size less than about 10 microns in diameter and a surface area greater than about 30 square meters per gram. The preferred fillers are those that contain surface silanol groups. The fibers and filaments are formed by the process of preparing a mixture of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin, filler and plasticizer, metering the mixture to an extruder, heating and kneading the blend in the extruder, conveying the extrudate to a fiber or filament forming type die, expressing the extrudate through the die openings to form fibers or filaments, and extracting at least a portion of the extractable plasticizer to provide the desired porosity. The fibers and filaments may be formed into nonwoven webs directly by the melt blown or spun bonded process or by airlaying or wetlaying techniques. Such webs are particularly useful as a battery separator. The filaments may also be woven into fabric.

Method and apparatus for removing processing oil from thin sheets of microporous plastic material is comprised of a tank having a liquid zone in its bottom portion which is divided into three sub-tanks having decreasing depths extending across the tank. Heating coils in each sub-tank vaporize the solvent to form a cleaning zone, containing vaporized solvent, above the liquid portion, and condensing coils located at the top of the tank condense the vaporized solvent and deposit it into the deepest sub-tank which also is supplied freash make up solvent when required. A series of rollers feeds the material through the tank, from the side having the shallowest sub-tank toward the side having the deepest sub-tank, while repeatedly passing it between the cleaning zone where solvent is condensed on it to clean it, and the condensing zone where it is cooled to a temperature below the temperature of the vaporous solvent. Precondensing coils located medially in the tank between each pass of the material as it extends between the condensing zone and the cleaning zone and vice versa, define the extent of the cleaning zone and direct condensed solvent onto the material to wash it. Soiled solvent is removed from the shallowest sub-tank and evaporatively separated from the oil carried in it and reintroduced into the tank as vapor. After the oil has been removed from the material the solvent is displaced by pressurized steam which is directed onto the material and the steam then is removed from the material by passing it through a heater.

The calender rolls of the present invention are comprised of relatively thin-walled hollow shells which are supported at each end by shafts having bores which extend into the cavities formed in the rolls. Fittings located at the ends of the shafts are rotatable relative to them so that by tying the fittings together they do not rotate along with the rolls. The fittings at one of the ends of the rolls are connected to a source of wet steam through a pressure regulator and the fittings at the other ends carry probes which extend through the shafts and curve downwardly towards the bottoms of the rolls. A valve regulates the amount of material which flows out of the cavities through the probes. The method by which the rolls are used comprises introducing wet steam into the cavities, maintaining its pressure at a constant level. Since the temperature of wet steam depends upon its pressure, by controlling the pressure of the steam in the cavities and maintaining it at a constant pressure the outer surfaces of the rolls can be maintained at a constant desired temperature, irrespective of the effect of the temperature of the material being calendered or of ambient temperature.

A restored metallic extrusion processing element comprises a tubular metal core around which is consolidated a powdered metal extrusion component that includes metallurgically bonded interior shell and exterior working portions. The interior shell portion covers the core and is characterized by a first multiple-crystalline microstructure, and the exterior working portion is characterized by a second multiple crystalline microstructure of densified powdered metal particles. The exterior working portion has an outside surface including outer working surface features that extend along the length of the extrusion processing element. A bond interface of metallurgical type defines a crystalline microstructure boundary between the first and second multiple-crystalline microstructures.

A gear for use in a gear pump having intermeshing gear teeth includes indentations formed on one or both of first and second sides of at least one of the multiple gear teeth of the gear. Each of the indentations is of sufficient size to allow material to flow into the indentation during counter-rotation of the intermeshing gears. Material processed by the gear pump and otherwise trapped between the intermeshing gears flows into the indentation, which forms a channel that connects to the outlet chamber. The otherwise trapped material flows into the outlet chamber. The gear having gear tooth indentations decreases the amount of material trapped between the intermeshing gears and thereby decreases the amount of material squeezed out the sides of the gears and improves material flow within the gear pump.

A method of enveloping and assembling positive and negative plates into a group suitable for use in an electrochemical cell by forming at least one row of alternating positive and negative plates of a predetermined number with the top edges of said plates in longitudinal alignment, enveloping the plates with a separator material by bringing a continuous sheet of separator material into contact with both planar faces of the plates and sealing the separator material along the side and bottom edges of the plates to thereby form a row of enveloped plates interconnected to each other by the separator material, assembling the interconnected row of enveloped plates into a folded group by folding the row in an accordion-like manner, and compressing the folded group into a cube of predetermined size. The product of this method is a group of plates located in interconnected pockets of separator material that has been folded in an accordion-like manner and compressed into a cube of predetermined size.
