Abstract: A process for producing non-scattering hollow plastic balloons which comprises: (a) heating a mixture (A) of non-foamed plastic balloons and a first wetting agent, which is a plasticizer, to a temperature from 40°C. to a temperature which is 40°C. below an exit temperature of a heat exchanger, (b) contacting the mixture (A) with a second wetting agent being heated to a temperature equal too or above the foaming starting temperature of the non-foamed plastic balloons, wherein a ratio of the mixture (A) to the second wetting agent (B) is 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, the contacting being within 1 minute after heating the mixture (A) by the heat exchanger to a temperature ranging from 20° to 50°C, below the foaming starting temperature of the non-foamed plastic balloons, (c) foaming the non-foamed plastic balloons, and (d) cooling the resultant mixture from step (c) containing the foamed plastic balloons. Non-scattering foamed plastic balloons can thus be obtained simultaneously with the foaming. The present process needs a smaller amount of a plasticizer than the conventional process of wetting foamed plastic balloons with a plasticizer.

Title: Method and apparatus for producing pasty paraffin
Inventor: BOUCHARD PAUL-ANDRE
IPC: C11C5/00
Filed: 1991-11-18
Granted: 2001-06-12
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for producing pasty paraffin from liquid paraffin comprises the use of an agitator   for   mixing   the   paraffin   during   its solidification within a receptacle.   The viscosity of the paraffin is  controlled by the monitoring of the power   of   a   motor   driving   the   agitator.   More particularly,   liquid  paraffin   is   supplied  to   a solidification  apparatus  which  comprises  an  agitator driven by a motor and a coolant system for the liquid paraffin.   The  liquid  paraffin  is  thus  gradually solidified  by  way  of  the  coolant  while  the  liquid paraffin is mixed by the agitator for producing pasty paraffin. The temperature of the coolant is controlled by monitoring the power required from the motor  for driving the agitator in such a way so as to obtain pasty paraffin of proper viscosity. Then, the pasty paraffin having  proper  viscosity  for  subsequent  use  in  the production of selected articles,  such as  candles,  is extracted from the solidification apparatus.

Title: Automatic train serialization with car orientation
Inventor: MCLAUGHLIN BRYAN
IPC: B61L15/00
Filed: 1997-09-04
Granted: 2003-12-16
Abstract: A method of serialization including establishing a parameter along a length of the train between a node on one of the cars and one end of the train.   The presence of the parameter at each node is determined and  the  parameter  is  removed.    The  sequence  is repeated  for  each  node  on  the  train.  Finally, serialization of the cars is determined as a function of the number of determined presences of the parameter for each node.  The parameter can be established by providing at the individual node, one at a time, an electric load across an electric line running through the length of the train and measuring an electrical property, either current or voltage, at each node.  To determine the orientation of a car, each node include two  subnodes.    The  operability  of  each  node  is determined by counting the presence and then the absence of a parameter along the whole train.
