Inventor: MOYLE RICHARD T
IPC: C09D5/00
Filed: 1992-11-18
Abstract: A mar resistant, weldable zinc-coated metal substrate capable of sustaining the life of a copper-tipped electrode used in welding the substrate through a minimum of 2000 welds is achieved by applying a weldable primer coating composition to the metal, heating the primer composition to provide the desired dry coating, applying a protective coating composition over the primer coating in an amount sufficient to provide from about 50 to about 400 mg/ft2 of a dry film, and heating the protective coating composition to produce the dry film. Without the resin-based protective coating, the weldable primer is easily marred.  The resin-based protective coating, which is from about 0.06 mil to about 0.13 mil thick, improves the mar resistance of the primer and enhances the corrosion resistance of the zinc-coated steel without interfering with the weldability of the primer.  The primer contains from about 30 to about 60% of ferrophosphorus and from 0 to about 30% by weight zinc powder.  When zinc is present, the ratio of ferrophosphorus to zinc is from about 9:1 to about 1:1 by weight.

Filed: 1993-02-23
Abstract: ABSTRACT                      Explosive Arrangement An explosive arrangement includes an explosive charge 22 which is detonated simultaneously from each end to produce opposing detonation fronts in the explosive.  When the fronts meet, an outward force results which is used, for example, to cut through drills which have become jammed in a bore hole.  The simultaneous detonations are produced by transmitting an electrical pulse along a stripline 35 via two EFI initiators 33 and 34 connected electrically in series by the stripline.      An end plate 32 is located adjacent to one end of the charge 22, being clamped in use on a central shaft 24.  The end plate 32 is movable to allow variable lengths of charge to be used.  Another plate 38 is also movable on the shaft 24 and by suitable adjustment enables one length of stripline to be used for different length charges.            Figure 2.

Title: Thin film thickness monitoring and control
Inventor: HANNOTIAU MICHEL
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 1993-09-07
Abstract: ABSTRACT     Thin film thickness monitoring A method is described for monitoring the thickness and uniformity of a transparent coating applied to a substrate in sheet form. The method comprises directing polychromatic light at the coating at a plurality of location, and measuring the intensity of light reflected from said coating. At each location, the intensity of reflected light is measured at at least two discrete monitoring wavelengths and said measurements are processed to generate an electrical signal which may be compared with one or more predetermined threshold values and with such electrical signals generated at other locations to yield indications of whether the thickness and uniformity of the coating lies within predetermined tolerance values. The first discrete monitoring wavelength-lies in the range 400 to 480 nm (blue) and the second discrete monitoring wavelength lies in the range 580 to 750 nm (red). A third discrete monitoring wavelength, which lies in the range 480 to 580 nm (green) may also be used. The monitoring results may be used to adjust the coating process.

Filed: 1993-02-04
Abstract: Preparing at a first stage a water absorbed rice of a water content of 38 to 115 parts by weight of water to 100 parts by weight of rice, using hot water, steam and/or steam under pressure, subjecting the resulting water absorbed rice to refrigeration or/and freezing processes, and making the rice further absorb water at a second stage, whereby the total water absorption is 72 to 130 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of water, a highly water absorbed rice is produced wherein the rice grains are in the state of nearly no gelatinization.      When attempting to prepare an excessively water absorbed rice, a certain degree of gelatinization of the surface conventionally cannot be avoided, so that the taste is deteriorated and the occurrence of gelatinization makes the handling difficult, but in accordance with the present invention, a highly water absorbed rice in the state of nearly no gelatinization can be obtained.      The highly water absorbed rice of the present invention, even after cooked and heated, has hard surface and soft inside, providing delicious taste, so that the rice turns into tasty boiled rice. If freeze dried, the rice turns into excellent instant rice.
