Abstract: A method and apparatus for the transfer of heat or mass with the aid of rotating surfaces. The fluid with which an exchange or transfer is to be made is introduced in parallel in one or more gaps or channels defined between the rotating surfaces (14; 34, 52, 84). Rotation of the surfaces causes the major part of the fluid flow to pass through a rotating, flow mechanical boundary layer adjacent the rotating transfer surface in lamellar or turbulent flow.

Abstract: A re-enterable seal (25) for sealing an elongate object (16) passing through a barrier (24) between two environments (53, 54) includes an invertible enclosing member (30) containing a sealant (40). The sealant (40) is adhered to the inside surface (31) of the enclosing member (30). During insertion of the elongate member (16), the enclosing member (30) is inverted inside-out, with the sealant remaining on the inside surface (31) (now positioned outside the enclosing member). The elongate member (16) is then pulled back, causing the enclosing member (30) to re-invert, and bringing the sealant (40) into sealing compression against the elongate member (16).

Abstract: Un film constituant un blindage électrostatique comprend une première couche de matériau de support (40) et une seconde couche de matériau thermoplastique polymère, les deux couches étant électriquement isolantes, flexibles et transparentes, la seconde couche contenant en suspension une pluralité de fines bandes conductrices. Ces bandes ont une température de fusion supérieure à la température de fusion du matériau polymère, et le matériau polymère a une température de fusion inférieure à celle du matériau de support. Le film laisse passer au moins 70 % de la lumière visible. Le procédé de fabrication du film consiste à appliquer les bandes sur une feuille composée d'une couche de dimension stable et d'une couche thermoplastique, les bandes étant appliquées sur la couche thermoplastique, puis à disposer sur la couche thermoplastique une feuille de protection de la même matière que la couche thermoplastique. La couche thermoplastique est chauffée jusqu'à son point de fusion, et la feuille de couverture est extrudée et laminée pendant qu'elle est en fusion, ce qui permet à la feuille de couverture de se mélanger à la couche thermoplastique pour former une seule couche homogène (38). Les bandes constituent un réseau conducteur (42) pratiquement à deux dimensions suspendu dans la couche homogène, en quantité pouvant descendre à 2 g/m2.

Abstract: A cast composite material having little spinel therein is formed from a mixture having a composition of from about 5 to about 35 volume percent of aluminum oxide reinforcing particles and from about 95 to about 65 volume percent of a molten matrix alloy. The matrix alloy is an aluminum-based alloy containing from about 0.15 to about 3 weight percent magnesium and a sufficient amount of strontium to reduce or entirely suppress spinel formation. The strontium content is from about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of the matrix alloy. This composition is mixed to wet the matrix alloy to the particles and to distribute the particles throughout the volume of the molten matrix, while minimizing the introduction of gas into and retention of gas within the mixture. The wetted mixture is cast into molds or forms.

Abstract: The specification discloses a process for regenerating aqueous chloride leach liquors. The process involves roasting aqueous chloride leach liquor to produce metal oxide and a gas containing HC1. The gas containing HC1 is passed through a preconcentrator where it is contacted with spent aqueous chloride leach liquor. The enthalpy of the gas evaporates water from the spent liquor thereby concentrating it. At the same time the spent liquor absorbs HC1. HC1 not absorbed in the preconcentrator is contacted with water to form hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid may be mixed with the concentrated spent liquor and re-used. Apparatus for operating the process is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lightweight building element for floor panels which consists of a core sheet (16) on which in each case two fibre composite material layers are attached on either side. To achieve a higher durability, a high impact strength and a higher shear strength with, at the same time, low deflectability, it is proposed that the particular outermost layer consist of an E-glass fabric (10) and of a layer of carbon fibres (12) of high strength, which are both embedded in phenolic resin, that the particular inner layer consists of R-glass fibres (14) embedded in epoxy resin, the carbon fibre layer (12) and the R-glass fibre layer (14) consisting of unidirectional fibres which extend diagonally 0 DEG /90 DEG , and that the phenolic resin has approximately the same gel point, curing time and curing temperature as the epoxy resin. By this means it may be ensured that no diffusion processes take place between the phenolic resin and the epoxy resin. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A child resistant dispensing closure having a cap and a spout mounted thereon for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis. The upper surface of the spout is provided with a plurality of ribs, each of which has a distinct energy plane. Only one rib, usually, the rearmost, allows sufficient purchase to produce the force vector necessary to initiate rotation of the spout when a manual force is applied thereto. The cap includes a cylindrical skirt with a frusto-conical section extending upwardly therefrom. A protective flange extends upwardly about the perimeter of the upper end of the frusto-conical section to deter unauthorized access to the spout. The upper wall of said cap is canted at an acute angle to a horizontal plane passing through the cylindrical skirt of the cap, so that the spout is further recessed within the protective flange.

Abstract: A press-on closure 10 for a tubular container 12. The closure includes a molded plastic frame 14 having a ledge 28 on which an end panel 16 is seated and to which the end panel is peelably secured. The end panel has a free outer peripheral edge unbonded to the frame. The resultant closed container is subject to retorting with the result that heretofore the end panel could axially outwardly deform and possibly initiate internal peeling. To prevent this peeling, the frame is provided with a thin flexible integral flange 36 forming a continuation of the ledge on which the end panel is seated. The end panel is also peelably bonded to the flange and the flange deforms or deflects with the end panel. The frame has a press fit onto the container, which is preferably in the form of a metal can, which at the end thereof to be closed by the closure is provided with a radially outwardly directed curl 48. The curl terminates in a raw edge 54 and is so shaped that when it is seated within a groove in the underside of the frame, the raw edge is embedded in a skirt portion of the frame to permanently and sealingly lock the curl within the frame.
