Title: Rubber tube for dredging work
Inventor: SUMITANI KATSUYOSHI
IPC: E02F7/10
Filed: 1983-04-21
Abstract: A rubber tube 21 for dredging work has a tubular body 23, 24 made of rubber having a plurality of strengthening cloth layers embedded therein, and a plurality of metal rings 26 axially arranged in a suitably spaced relation and embedded in an inner peripheral surface of said tubular body. The metal rings 26 have their joined surface with the tubular body placed in parallel to the axis, and both axial ends thereof are thin in wall thickness. Thereby, the contact area between the metal ring 26 and the tubular body is increased to strengthen the bonding and to minimize peeling-off of the joined surface between both ends of the metal rings 26 and the tubular body.   <IMAGE>

Title: Advanced epoxy resins and coating compositions containing the advanced epoxy resins
Inventor: HICKNER RICHARD ALLAN
IPC: C08G59/06
Filed: 1983-06-08
Abstract: Advanced epoxy resin and coating composition comprising (I) the advanced epoxy resin, (II) a curing quantity of at least one curing agent for component (II), and (III) at least one solvent in a sufficient quantity such that the coating composition including components (I), (II) and (III) and any other desirable components has a suitable application viscosity. This invention is characterized in that the advanced epoxy resin is prepared by reacting in the presence of a suitable catalyst (A) a composition comprising (1) at least one aliphatic diepoxide and, optionally, (2) at least one aromatic diepoxide, with (B) at least one compound having two aromatic hydroxyl groups per molecule, wherein components (A-1) and (A-2) are employed in quantities such that from 10 to 100 percent of the epoxide equivalents contained in component (A) arecontributed by component (A-1), from 0 to 90 percent of such epoxide equivalents are contributed by component (A-2) and wherein components (A) and (B) are employed in quantities such that the resultant advanced epoxy resin has an average epoxide equivalent weight of from 350 to 30,000. The cured advanced epoxy resins of this invention have increased elongation values when cured with a curing quantity of a suitable curing agent as compared to similarly cured advanced resins prepared by reacting together only component (A-2) with component (B). The advanced epoxy resin of this invention requires less solvent to reach a desired viscosity value as compared to the quantity of solvent to reach a like viscosity value for a resin compound from component (A-2) and component (B).The advanced epoxy resins of this invention are useful as automotive primer surfacers, automotive stone chip resistant coatings and coil coatings where somewhat reduced physical and/or chemical properties can be accepted for an improvement in flexibility or a reduction in the amount of volatile solvent required to achieve a suitable application viscosity.

Title: Measuring device for liquid products in bottles or like containers
Inventor: COTELLE BERNARD
IPC: G01F11/26
Filed: 1984-06-27
Abstract: The measuring device constitutes the cap of the bottle and comprises two compartments A and B, the compartment A being filled when inverting the bottle so as to measure the amount of liquid which is emptied into the compartment B when the bottle is put back into a normal position so as to provide a reserve measured amount of liquid. An orifice 10 for discharging air when filling the compartment A is so arranged as to constitute an overflow for the compartment B when the bottle is put back into its normal position. The compartment B in this way perfects the measurement of the amount of liquid. The measuring device may be manufactured simply and cheaply, in particular by moulding a plastics material in two elements which can be assembled along the connection plane between the compartments A and B. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2144899-A (GB)
Title: Nuclear fuel element
Inventor: CONSTANTINE GEOFFREY
IPC: G21C3/04
Filed: 1984-07-19
Abstract: The invention provides a nuclear fuel element 10 incorporating, at one end, a guide nose 16 adapted to locate a number of canisters 26 containing a parent isotope to be irradiated by neutrons. When the fuel element 10 is loaded into the core of a nuclear reactor the canisters 26 are thus situated outside the region of the core containing the fuel, and are irradiated by neutrons in the reflector region. The canisters 26 therefore have little effect on the reactivity of the reactor. The invention also provides a method of producing isotopes by neutron bombardment, in which the parent isotope is located at an end of a fuel element 10. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for cultivation of mycelial fungi on a solid substrate
Inventor: REDIKULTSEV JURY VASILIEVICH
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1984-10-18
Abstract: A method for cultivation of mycelial fungi on a solid substrate consists in that the solid substrate is placed in a biological reactor, moistened, sterilized with saturated steam to form an extract that moistens the solid substrate until complete saturation occurs, whereupon the solid substrate is cooled down to 27 or 36 DEG C and aerated by pulse-wise feeding of compressed air to the biological reactor until a gauge pressure of 0.01 to 0.06 MPa is built up therein, followed by letting compressed air out into the atmosphere carried out simultaneously with adding the inoculum to the volume of the solid substrate.

Title: Spray pump with container connector
Inventor: SCHMIDT KARL-HEINZ
IPC: B05B/
Filed: 1984-11-30
Abstract: In a spray pump with container connector, the actuation of a pump piston (5') displaceable in a case bore (17'), on the rod (51') of which there is provided a crown-shaped lip seal (53'), enables the release or closure of a venting to the atmosphere for the container connector (24'). Before actuating the piston (5'), said lip seal (53') is arranged tight against a flat segment (19') of the casing bore (17'). The displacement of the piston (5') in the pumping direction causes the opening of a slot between the lip seal (53') and the inner wall of the bore. <IMAGE>

Title: Beet topping assembly
Inventor: LJUNGDAHL BO
IPC: A01D23/02
Filed: 1985-10-25
Abstract: A beet topping assembly (1) for beet harvesting machines, especially for harvesting sugar beets, is disclosed. The assembly (1) comprises a number of parallel runners (2) which are welded together so as to form a lifting grid which is fixed to a telescopic rod (4) adapted to be pressed upwardly allowing vertical displacement of the rod, by the tops of the beets. Each runner (2) has an initial lifting angle alpha  of about 65 DEG  (Figure 2) in relation to the horizontal plane, and this lifting angle is located on a height (A) substantially equal to 115 mm above the lowest point of the runner. Thus, since the distance (B) between ground level and the lowest point of the runner generally is about 50 mm, it is theoretically possible to top beets of a height of about 165 mm without any part of the assembly (1) upsetting the beets. <IMAGE>

Title: Debossed and perforated film materials
Inventor: CURRO JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: B29C59/00
Filed: 1987-02-02
Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for transforming a substantially continuous web of substantially planar, deformable material having an indefinite length, a first surface, and a second surface into a formed material. The material has a transofrmation temperature range. The process comprises the following steps:(a) The web of material is provided on a forming structure with the first surface of the web of material proximate a forming surface of the forming structure. The forming surface moves in a direction of the length of the web of material and carries the web of material in that direction.(b) A liquid stream is applied to the second surface of the web of material. The liquid stream has sufficient force and mass flux to cause the web of material to be deformed toward the forming surface, such that the material acquires a substantial three-dimensional conformation.(c) The temperature of the web of material is controlled such that it remains below the transformation temperature range of the material throughout the process.
