摘要:
Mask (10, 10′, 21, 22) for use in coating a carbon-carbon composite brake disc (25) with anti-oxidant. The mask is composed of carbon-carbon composite material or nonreactive ceramic material. The mask is configured with edge ridges (11, 13) that are aligned with the outer and inner annular diameters of the carbon-carbon composite brake disc, a gasflow channel (12) between the ridges, and a gas access port (18) that allows gas to enter the gasflow channel. The mask may also include a gas exit port (16) having a valve (17) operatively connected thereto, so that gas flow may be restricted when pressure within the mask and carbon-carbon composite brake disc falls below a specified minimum value. Also, a method of avoiding application of liquid antioxidant material to a friction surface of a carbon-carbon composite brake disc, by: covering the friction surface with a mask configured to deliver compressed gas to the friction surface, and directing compressed gas across the friction surface and through pores in the carbon-carbon composite brake disc and/or in the mask while the masked brake disc is in the presence of the antioxidant material in a liquid state.
摘要:
Method of manufacturing carbon-carbon composite brake disc by: (a) providing textile-based preform in shape of annular brake disc, the preform having a volume 30% or more greater than the volume of the brake disc to be manufactured; (b) subjecting the preform to a first CVD processing for not more than 7.5 days to density it to not more than 1.0 g/cc; (c) machining the densified preform to a shape having a volume no more than 15% greater than the volume of the carbon-carbon composite brake disc to be manufactured: and (d) subjecting the preform to one or two additional cycles of CVD processing, to further densify it to a density of more than 1.7 g/cc. The preform is then machined to provide the carbon-carbon composite brake disc. The total CVD processing time in steps (b) and (c) is no longer than about 32.5 days.

A printing apparatus includes a media path within a body of the printing apparatus. The media path moves sheets of media through the body of the printing apparatus. A marking engine is also within the body of the printing apparatus. The media path supplies the printing media to the marking engine. A processor is within the body of the printing apparatus. The processor is operatively connected to the marking engine, and the processor controls actions of the marking engine. Sensors are within the body of the printing apparatus. The sensors are operatively connected to the processor, and the sensors are positioned along the media path. The sensors detect locations and conditions of the sheets of media as the sheets of media travel along the media path. The sensors have a first clip shape. Further, clip connectors are located within the body of the printing apparatus. The clip connectors are connected to the sensors. Additionally, light structures are connected to the clip connectors. The light structures have an identical shape as the sensors for connecting to the clip connectors.

Method for making carbon-carbon composite friction product, by: fabricating carbon fiber preform; heat-treating the carbon fiber preform; infiltrating the carbon fiber preform with a high carbon-yielding pitch using VPI (vacuum pressure infiltration) or resin transfer molding (RTM) processing; carbonizing the preform with an intermediate heat-treatment at 800-2000° C.; repeating the pitch infiltration and carbonization steps to achieve a final density of >1.75 g/cc; machining the surfaces of the preform; and applying an oxidation protection system. This approach overcomes problems inherent in lower density carbon-carbon composites by employing high carbon-yielding pitches to densify the carbon-carbon composites to a high density. The high carbon yielding pitches may include isotropic pitches, 100% anisotropic (mesophase) pitches, or mixtures of the two. They may be derived from petroleum, coal tar, or synthetic feedstocks.
摘要:
A patient transfer device adapted to be a component of a patient transport stretcher, chair or gurney is disclosed. A rigid articulated support having a head portion and a lower portion hinged to one another is adapted to be attached to a stretcher having a Fowler mechanism. A self locking reversible gearbox which can be manually driven from either side of the transport device is attached to the support. The gearbox drives an articulated output shaft to which rollers are attached. The rollers drive an endless belt beneath the support. The endless belt has finite lengths of low friction webbing attached. The low friction webbing wraps around the support and across the top thereof between the support and a flexible semirigid transfer sheet. The low friction webbing is attached to the semirigid sheet such that when the gearbox is activated the transfer sheet is moved across the rigid support to extend outwardly from either side of the rigid support.

摘要:
A method is described to decompose perchlorate in a FeCl3/HCl aqueous solution such as would be used to regenerate an anion exchange resin used to remove perchlorate. The solution is mixed with a reducing agent, preferably an organic alcohol and/or ferrous chloride, and can be heated to accelerate the decomposition of perchlorate. Lower temperatures may be employed if a catalyst is added.
摘要:
A dental chair attachment for supporting an implement such as a light assembly, a hand piece delivery device or other device. The attachment is arranged for the pivotal movement of the implement about a supporting post. The attachment is arranged so that the periphery of the post is not in contact with the pivoting member of the implement. Upper and lower collar bases secured to the post support an inner sleeve that has an internal diameter larger than the diameter of the post. An outer sleeve which supports the pivoting member is rotatively mounted to the inner sleeve. The pivoting member including the outer sleeve, as it pivots, does not contact the periphery of the supporting post. Resilient rings of the upper and lower collar bases are forced radially inward against the periphery of the post to secure the attachment to the post.
