摘要:
The present invention relates to fiberglass loose-fill insulation that is insensitive to the content of boron in the composition of the glass. It has been discovered that the level of boron in the glass used for the manufacture of loose-fill glass wool can be substantially reduced without degrading thermal performance. The lowered amount of boron provides for a lower cost batch composition and increased furnace life. The glass composition of the present invention includes a substantially reduced content of boron and preferably an increased amount of sodium dioxide. The primary phase of these glass compositions is typically devitrite (Na2Ca3Si6O16). The glass of the present invention provides a glass fiber blowing wool that does not require an increase in pack density to compensate for the reduced boron content while achieving the similar thermal conductivity. The glass of the present invention is also suitable for use in acoustic insulation.

摘要:
A method of forming an aggregate. The method comprising forming a green pellet including waste glass and additive(s). The unfired pellets are coated with a refractory material and sintered such that some of the additive/additives breaks down to generate gas which is at least partially retained in the microstructure of the mixture to form pores, the additive/additives so being that upon heating the additive/additives and glass combine to produce glass ceramics.

摘要:
A method of determining the density of an underground formation surrounding a borehole from measurement of gamma rays arising from irradiation of the formation by a nuclear source in a tool body located in the borehole, and measurement of gamma-ray flux in the tool body at two different detector spacings from the source, the method comprising determining a substantially straight-line relationship between gamma-ray flux measurements at each different spacing with respect to the density of the formation for a tool body with no standoff; determining a relationship defining the deviation with respect to tool standoff of the density determined from the measured gamma-ray flux measurements at the two different detector spacings from the density calculated from the straight line relationships; and for a given pair of gamma-ray flux measurements at the different detector spacings, determining the intersection of the relationship defining the deviation with the straight line relationship so as to indicate the density of the formation surrounding the bore-hole; wherein the source is a neutron source and the gamma rays measured in the too! body are neutron-induced gamma rays resulting from neutron irradiation of the formation.

A method of changing from a first gear position to a second gear position of a transmission arrangement is disclosed. The arrangement includes a rotatable transmission member, a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission coupled to the transmission member and operable to rotate the transmission member at a first speed, a controller configured to control operation of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission, and a gear apparatus coupled to the transmission member and configured to be shiftable between at least the first gear position and the second gear position. The method includes controlling the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission, using the controller, to rotate the transmission member at the first speed, and shifting the gear apparatus from the first gear position to the second gear position while the transmission member is rotating at, or converging with, the first speed.
摘要:
A primary or secondary game for a gaming device. In one embodiment, the player is provided up to three picks, i.e., picks three contestants. The first two contestants both form potential award offers. The game then provides the greater of the two potential award offers to the player as an initial offer. This initial sequence alternatives includes more than two picks, contestants and potential offers. The offer acceptance feature arises after the initial offer. The player must decide whether to keep the initial offer or forego that offer for a final offer. If the player keeps the offer the game provides that initial offer to the player and ends if the player rejects that initial offer, the game proceeds to build a third and final offer, which is then provided to the player automatically.

A method of detecting a target in a scene comprises the steps of (a) obtaining a first data set of data elements which correspond to returns from different parts of the scene; and (b) determining a detection threshold for a part of the scene by reference to data elements corresponding to returns to neighbouring parts of the scene; characterized in that (i) the method further comprises the steps of (c) obtaining a second data set of data elements which correspond only to clutter returns from different parts of the scene; and (d) identifying clutter returns in the first data set by comparing the first and second data sets; and (ii) in step (b), data elements identified in step (d) as corresponding to clutter returns are discounted in determining the detection threshold. The method provides for improved target detection the presence of clutter.

The invention concerns the control of body odours, particularly odours (other than axillary malodour) associated with body fluids and solids, by use of low odour compositions of fragrance materials. The composition of fragrance material preferably includes at least 5 of one or more musks and at least 5% of one or more salicylates.
摘要:
A rotary mill is configured to cut fibrous insulation material into tufts of loosefil insulation. A housing of the mill has a rotary cutter assembly mounted therein having a plurality of radially outwardly extending vanes extending to the housing and being configured to sweep along the housing in a machine direction. A screen having a plurality of screen openings is positioned in the housing, each screen opening having an effective opening size. The screen comprises an inner plate having a plurality of inner openings formed therethrough and an outer plate having a plurality of outer openings formed therethrough. The inner openings correspond with the outer openings to define the screen openings, and the screen openings have an effective cutting edge oriented transversely to the machine direction. The inner and outer plates are mounted for movement relative to each other so the effective opening size of the screen openings can be changed. The length of the effective cutting edges of the screen openings are kept substantially constant regardless of any change in the size of the screen openings.
