Patent CA-2007805-C (CA)
Inventor: ELEPANO NORMITA P
IPC: C09K3/14
Filed: 1990-01-16
Granted: 1999-12-28
Abstract: This invention relates to a buffing composition, and, in particular, to a composition that imparts a very fine finish to automobile surfaces. In the 1980's, automobile manufacturers began using a base coat/clear coat paint system for automotive surfaces. The base coat imparts the desired color, and the clear coat, which is applied over the base coat, is a transparent, hard, chip-resistant, protective coat. This paint system magnifies painting defects in either the base coat or the clear coat. If the defects cannot be corrected on the assembly line, the automobile must be removed from the line, the defects removed, and the automobile then repainted. This procedure results in a considerable loss of time, and consequently, money for the automobile manufacture. A system, known as the "Finesse-it" system, has been developed for removing paint defects on the assembly line.      The system first utilizes a sanding step, employing very fine coated abrasives, to smooth out the defect. Next, the defect is buffed with "Finesse-it" brand finishing material to remove the scratches produced by the coated abrasives. Finally, the residue from the finishing material is removed with a cotton cloth, thereby producing a uniform, glossy finish. The "Finesse-it" finishing material tends to leave a milky haze on the painted surface where the defect was repaired. It would be desirable to use a buffing composition that does not produce haze marks, so that paint defects can continue to be removed on the assembly line. This invention provides a buffing composition for imparting very fine finishes to automobile surfaces that contains no silicone-containing materials and comprises alumina abrasive and a synthetic wax dispersed in a liquid medium. The liquid medium can be a solvent, water, a hydrocarbon oil, or mixtures thereof. The buffing composition can optionally contain other additives or modifiers such as wetting agents, thickeners, stabilizers, preservatives, emulsifiers, dyes, pigments and perfumes.

Title: Turbine blades
Inventor: FRASER MICHAEL J
IPC: F01D5/12
Filed: 1990-03-26
Granted: 1994-05-03
Abstract: ABSTRACT     "Method of Repairing or Modifying Turbine Blades"        A method of repairing or modifying a turbine blade wherein damage or erosion has occurred to the end part of a turbine blade or it is required to remove the end part so as to improve the efficiency of the blade as a whole comprises the steps of removing the damaged end part or a part  requiring  replacement,  securing  a  new  piece  of material to the blade which may or may not be partly preformed, and after securing of the new piece of material to the blade and heat treatment processes, subsequently working the new piece of material so that it conforms to the desired shape.   The working of the new piece of material only after securement and heat treatment ensures that discontinuities such as lacing wire holes, shroud band apertures, tenons etc., are not left with concentrations of inbuilt stress due to the welding or heat treatment operations and if required the new part may be oversize material which ensures that if slight misalignment occurs between the blade and the new piece of material there is sufficient material to enable the part to be worked to the correct shape.

Abstract: CORIOLIS-TYPE MASS FLOW METER FOR SANITARY USE            Abstract A   Coriolis-type   mass   flow   meter   for   use  in  sanitary applications.    A  pair of sensing tubes have their ends rigidly mounted  within  bores  formed  within identical inlet and outlet fixtures.   The ends of the tubes fit snugly within the bores and are  ends  brought  out  flush  with  the ends of the bores.  The flush  ends  of  the  tubes  are secured to the bores by means of welding.    An annular flange is formed about the flush tube ends of  the  inlet  and  outlet  fixtures  to allow easy assembly and removal  of  the  mass  flow meter from its associated fluid flow pipeline  or  conduit.    The inlet and outlet fixtures and tubes preferably  are  formed  from  a  non-reactive, weldable material such  as  stainless steel.  The mounting arrangement of the tubes within  the  bores of the inlet and outlet fixtures makes it easy to  secure the tube ends to the fixtures by means of welding in a readily  accessible  location.    These  welds can then be easily smoothed  or  polished  to  remove  any  possible obstructions to fluid  flow or hiding places for contamination.  This arrangement results  in  a  mass  flow meter which is acceptable for sanitary applications,  e.g.  the measuring of mass flow and or density of foodstuffs.
