Title: High fatigue-strength steel wire and spring, and processes for producing these
Inventor: KAWABE NOZOMU
IPC: C21D9/52
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: A steel wire of pearlite structure containing 0.8-1.0 mass % of C
and 0.8-1.5 mass % of Si is disclosed. In the cross section of the steel wire the
average hardness in a region up to 100 µm from the surface thereof is at least
50 higher that that in a deeper region based on micro-Vickers hardness. The
steel wire is manufactured by working a wire rod having the abovementioned
chemical composition through shaving, patenting and drawing processes, then
strain-relief annealing the resultant wire, and thereafter subjecting the thus
annealed wire to a short peening process. The steel wire can be produced
through a drawing process without applying a quenching and tempering
process, and are superior in heat resistance and fatigue strength.

Patent EP-1024890-A1 (EP)
Title: Process and apparatus for the production of virgin polymer substitutes
Inventor: BOWERS BRUCE O
IPC: C08L21/00
Filed: 1998-10-21
Abstract: The invention relates to processes and apparatus for the production of a virgin polymer substitute from cured scrap rubber, such as automobile tires, which does not involve the use of solvents or other chemicals and which substantially maintains the physical properties of the virgin material in the substitute. The process and apparatus may perform an initial analysis of the scrap material to be treated and determination of the process parameters for that particular material. Actual treatment of the material comprises grinding of the scrap rubber and preconditioning the ground material by subjecting it to warm dry air prior to subsequent treatment in a high temperature and pressure environment. The high temperature and pressure environment is created by means of a pressure vessel into which the preconditioned material is introduced, thereafter exposing the material to a variable high pressure and temperature environment which is controlled to optimize devulcanization of the material. Continuous agitation of the material during treatment serves to insure uniform heating and exposure of materials, thereby producing a substitute which can be used without substantial diminution in physical properties such as tensile and tear strength.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé qui permettent une détermination plus directe de la conductivité thermique, de la diffusivité thermique et de la chaleur spécifique d'un fluide d'intérêt, indépendamment de l'amplitude du signal de sortie du capteur. Le procédé consiste, de préférence, à mesurer une ou plusieurs retards de phases variables ou décalages temporels variables entre des signaux c.a. d'entrée et de sortie choisis, et à en déduire directement la conductivité thermique, la diffusivité thermique et la chaleur spécifique. Une telle déduction est donc moins dépendante par rapport aux capteurs, que celle basée sur une dérive occasionnelle ou imprévisible des éléments résistifs du capteur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé électrolytique destiné à produire une solution hydroxyde et un sulfate par électrolyse d'un mélange aqueux d'impuretés soufrées oxydables dans un compartiment anodique d'au moins une cellule électrolytique pendant la production d'une solution hydroxyde dans le compartiment cathodique de la cellule. Ce procédé convient particulièrement dans le traitement de solutions caustiques usées obtenues par épuration d'un circuit d'hydrocarbures contaminé par des impuretés soufrées oxydables. La cellule électrolytique utilisée dans le procédé électrolytique de l'invention peut mettre en oeuvre soit une membrane poreuse soit une membrane permsélective cationique pour séparer les compartiments anodique et cathodique de la cellule électrolytique. La cellule électrolytique peut être monopolaire ou bipolaire. Lorsqu'elle est bipolaire et que les électrodes bipolaires sont dissemblables ou que les collecteurs de courant anodique et cathodique respectifs associés à la cellule sont dissemblables, ces électrodes bipolaires sont reliées électriquement par métallisation avec un polymère conducteur, ou sont assemblées par soudage avec ou sans couche métallique intermédiaire. Le contrôle du pH dans le compartiment anolytique de la cellule électrolytique peut être réalisé par introduction d'une quantité choisie de catholyte dans ledit compartiment anolytique. Le pré-traitement à l'oxygène effectuée dans le compartiment anolytique de la cellule permet d'éviter la libération de produits gazeux dudit compartiment et d'accroître l'efficacité du procédé. Lorsque le procédé est réalisé dans de multiples cellules électrolytiques, lesdites cellules sont hydrauliquement montées en série et en cascade.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a coating film
transfer tool capable of transferring and coating a coating film
rapidly, accurately and easily by supplying and winding the
coating film transfer tape smoothly. 
     A transfer head(9)of a coating film transfer tool(1)includes
a tape supply surface(11)in which a transfer object surface side
thereof is flat and a tape winding surface(12)in which a top
end of an opposite side thereto is curved such that it is swollen
outward. Both the surfaces intersect with each other so as to
form a transfer edge(9) in a straight line. As a result, a
beginning point of the coating film on the coating film transfer
tape can be confirmed securely and the stiffness of the transfer
head is improved thereby making it possible to cut the coating
film sharply. Therefore, a partial peeling or the like never
occurs, thereby beautiful finishing, and accurate transfer and
coating being carried out. After use, the tape winding surface
having a curved portion guides the coating film transfer tape
securely, preventing a separation, cutting and the like, so that
the feeding and supply of the coating film transfer tape can
be carried out smoothly.
