Abstract: A tubular acoustic attenuation piece (1) comprises at least two shells (2) with a cellular core. External fish plate strips (8) alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell.  A tubular acoustic attenuation piece for a jet engine air intake, comprises at least two shells, each of which forms a longitudinal part of the tubular piece and which are connected along their longitudinal edges to form the piece. The wall of each shell consists of a permeable internal skin (3), of an impermeable external skin (4) and of a cellular core (5) between the internal and external skins. For each connection (7) between two longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells, an external longitudinal fish plate strip is arranged on the side of the external skins of the adjacent shells, straddling the connection, and secured to the external skins. The external fish plate strips alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell, along which edge face the cellular core of this shell has a marginal area of the same thickness as the rest of the cellular core but which can be damaged, so that the shell, corresponding with the marginal area, has acoustic attenuation which is not as good as in the remainder of the shell. Two facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells leave a slot (9) between them. The sum of the width of the slot and of the widths of the two facing marginal areas is at most equal to 15 mm.

Title: Process and composition for treating wood
Inventor: HOLCOMB ROBERT R
IPC: B05D7/06
Filed: 2002-03-29
Abstract: A process for reducing the rate of deterioration of wood that includes contacting the wood with an aqueous alkanline colloidal silicon-containing slat composition that is supersaturated with a boron-containing salt. The contacting may be at ambient or elevated temperature and pressure. The composition is an aqueous colloidal silicon-containing salt that is supersaturated with a boron-containing salt and optionally includes an aluminum salt and a preservative. The composition is made by mixing the boron-containing salt with a colloidal, aqueous mixture of a silicon-containing salt and optionally adding the aluminum salt and the preservative. The process is performed under conditions that result in a supersaturated solution of the boron-containing salt. Wood treated with the composition appears to be resistant to insects, rot, UV deterioration, fire, and other environmental insults. The wood also appears to have increased strength.
