摘要:
The invention relates to a method for sizing a paper product that involves the steps of (a) providing a paper stock system; (b) forming, in the absence of high shearing forces, an aqueous sizing emulsion comprising an alkenylsuccinic anhydride component; (c) submitting the emulsion formed from step b to a post-dilution step in the presence of a cationic component under conditions, in the absence of high shearing forces, that produce a post-diluted emulsion having improved sizing efficacy; (d) adding the post-diluted emulsion to the paper stock; and (e) forming a paper web.
摘要:
The invention relates to an aqueous sizing composition including (a) an emulsion comprising alkenylsuccinic anhydride component containing alkenylsuccinic anhydride particles suspended in an aqueous polymer, and (b) a second component selected from the group consisting of cationic starches, non-ionic starches, anionic starches, water-soluble polymer, water and mixtures thereof, such that the alkenylsuccinic anhydride component is sufficiently dilute to enable the sizing composition to impart useful sizing properties to a fibrous substrate when the sizing composition contacts the fibrous substrate. The invention also relates to fibrous substrates treated with such a composition as well as processes for making and using the composition. In one embodiment, alkylene ketene dimer can be used instead of alkenylsuccinic anhydride.

The various embodiments of the present invention are directed to wear resistant coatings, tiles having the wear resistant coatings disposed thereon, and to methods of making the coatings and tiles. A wear resistant coating generally includes a strontium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic composition that is formed from a glaze. The glaze can include a crystallizing component, which itself can include strontium, aluminum, and silicon, but also comprises less than about 2 weight percent each of lithium, boron, barium, sodium, iron, titanium, zirconium, and carbon, based on a total weight of the crystallizing component.

A drive system with at least one power storage device and at least one motor intermittently energized and de-energized through coupling to the at least one power storage device. The drive having at least one weighted drive member coupled to the at least one motor. An at least one energy recovery device returns energy to the at least one power storage device when the motor is energized or when the motor is de-energized by intermittently engaging the at least one drive member. The system also comprises a drive unit coupled to said at least one weighted drive member such that the motor drives the at least one weighted drive member which in turn drives the drive train wherein when the at least one weighted drive member is disengaged from the drive train. The motor can remain in an energized state or become de-energized and energy recovery through the at last one energy recovery device can continue to return energy to the power storage device so long as the weighted drive member is driven.

摘要:
An adjustable bed having an upper frame mounted to translate with respect to a lower frame. A center support is connected to the upper frame and has a head support pivotally connected to one end thereof. A thigh support is pivotally connected to the other end of the center support and a foot support is connected to the other end of the thigh support. The bed includes an improved mounting for a massage motor in which a massage motor is suspended from a mounting plate having openings therein resting on a mattress pad or base supported by an articulated support platform.

An indexable cutting insert (10) having a top surface (12) including a substantially planar central portion (48), a substantially planar bottom surface (14), and a plurality of side surfaces (16, 18, 20, 22). A long cutting edge (24, 26), a corner radius cutting edge (28, 30), a facet radius cutting edge (32, 34), and ramping cutting edge (36, 38) are defined at an intersection between the top surface (12) and one of the side surfaces (16, 18, 20, 22). A margin (87, 89) extends around a nose radius of the cutting insert (10) and blends into a flat surface (94, 96). A margin angle, C, formed by the margins (87, 89) is less than a seating angle, B, formed by the flat surfaces (94, 96). The top surface (12) includes a plurality of upward sloping radius blends (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64) extending between the substantially planar central portion (48) and a plurality of upward sloping rake faces (70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92) extending between a respective radius blend and its respective cutting edge such that the rake face forms an angle, A, of between five and twenty-five degrees with respect to the central portion (48) of the top surface (12).
摘要:
A wheelchair propulsion system provides a wheelchair user with a continuous input drive path of linear or elliptical shape. The propulsion system includes a Cardan gear system defining a linear reciprocating or elliptical input path over which propulsive force may be continuously applied to the wheelchair wheels. Because the input path is continuous, efficiency is increased and impact on the user's body is reduced thereby reducing discomfort and physical demands on the user's body. The angle of the input path may be altered to suit the particular needs of a user by rearrangement of the relative angular orientations of the gears in the propulsive system. The present propulsive mechanism may be integrated into a wheelchair or retrofitted to existing wheelchairs.
