Abstract: Garments are constructed from two identical sleeve sections (10) folded and joined to form an upper portion (15), which has a neck opening and sleeves, joined to a rectangular lower portion (20), which forms the body portion of the garment. The upper portion (15) and the lower portion (20) are joined together by a straight circumferential seam (60). The sleeve sections and the lateral edges of the lower portion are joined by a straight vertical seam (50). Preferably, the sleeve sections are folded so as to be overlapped and form a neck opening that is V-shaped. In a most preferred embodiment, the garment of the present invention is a scrub shirt. The present invention makes use of sleeve sections that are in the shape of quadrilateral sections with an arcuate portion cut therefrom. The patterns disclosed make efficient use of the material from which they are cut and require only straight seams when assembled. The present invention also discloses methods of constructing garments, such as scrub shirts, in accordance with the disclosed design. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A container especially suitable for bulk materials and including a cardboard tubular sleeve having its lower edge portion positioned in upwardly opening groove means on a plastic pallet. The tubular sleeve is a sleeve assembly comprising inner and outer tubular sleeves respectively formed of first and second corrugated cardboard structures with the inner sleeve positioned telescopically within the outer sleeve and with the outer annular surface of the inner sleeve secured to the inner annular surface of the outer sleeve to form a composite sleeve assembly having a thickness approximately the width of the groove means on the pallet. An auxiliary cardboard sheet is secured to the outboard surface of the outer tubular sleeve and an auxiliary cardboard sheet is secured to the inboard surface of the inner cardboard sleeve. A vinyl sheet is adhesively secured to the auxiliary cardboard sheet of the outer tubular sleeve and a further vinyl sheet is adhesively secured to the auxiliary cardboard sheet of the inner tubular sleeve so that, with the inner and outer tubular sleeves telescopically assembled, the vinyl sheets form the inner and outer annular surfaces of the composite sleeve assembly. The vinyl sheets also cover the upper and lower annular end edges of the sleeve assembly so as to make the sleeve assembly substantially moisture impervious. Also disclosed is a method for folding the sleeve assembly into a totally flat collapsed configuration to facilitate storage and shipment.

Abstract: Fresh fuel bundles are inserted into core locations with small coolant flow orifices, while mid-life fuel bundles are inserted into core locations with large coolant flow locations. Thus, fissile fuel production is promoted at the expense of fissioning early in a bundle lifetime, increasing the effective quantity of fuel available for energy production. Moreover, fissioning is promoted at the expense of conversion later in the bundle lifetime to enhance reactivity of the remaining fissile material and to minimize the further production of fissile fuel. The net result is longer fuel lifetimes and reduced radioactive waste.

Abstract: A conveyor belt is described, which has a support fabric, which is provided with at least one thermoplastic material coating and is characterized in that onto its cutting edges is welded a thermoplastic, strand-like profile material, preferably a round cord so as to constitute an edge protection. Due to the fact that the strand-like profile material (round cord) has a lower melting point than the thermoplastic material of the coating, during welding, substantially no deformation occurs in the coating, even in the vicinity of the contact faces, whereas the profile material having a lower melting point is deformed and adapts to the shape of the cutting edge of the conveyor belt and covers the same. The inventive method makes it possible to economically provide individual endless and finite conveyor belts with an edge protection when this proves necessary.

Abstract: A method of quality improvement of wooden articles, such as improved preservation of wood through impregnation thereof. The impregnation is carried out by immersing the wooden articles in a bath of hot linseed oil or similar vegetable oil heated to at least 110  DEG C, whereby the water present in the wood evaporates and diffuses through the wood and the oil while the hot oil simultaneously penetrates into the pores and cavities of the wood. The wooden articles are then taken out of the bath and the oil oozed in is made to cure and thereby to stiffen the wood. During the immersion of the wooden articles, the linseed oil bath has a temperature of up to 250  DEG C, preferably near 250  DEG C. An insecticide and/or fungicide has been added to the linseed oil. As a result, the finished wooden articles do not warp or display cracks or crevices and the wooden articles are resistant to insect or fungus attacks.
