Title: Method and apparatus for cleaning elongate metal substrates, substrates cleaned according to this method and polymeric objects reinforced with such substrates
IPC: B08B7/00
Filed: 1988-10-13
Granted: 1992-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for continuously cleaning a long metal substrate, such as a wire, a band, a cord, etc., the long substrate to be cleaned being led through a vacuum chamber, whereinto an inert sputtering gas, such as argon, is fed, and a sufficiently high voltage being maintained between the substrate as cathode and an anode present in the chamber so that an electric discharge takes place between the two electrodes, as a result of which the substrate is cleaned by inert gas ions precipitating on it during its passage through the vacuum chamber, and the anode being formed by at least one annular electrode, fitted in a long casing of heat-radiation transmitting material and the long substrate being led through the casing in longitudinal direction. The invention further relates to the thus cleaned metal substrates, as well as to the objects of polymer material reinforced therewith.

Abstract: Paper is provided with resistance to photocopying or tran smission by telefacsimile by spatial spectral modulation of the paper reflectance at a specific single or preferably multiple frequencies. Such paper has a coloured pattern of at least two colours repeating in at least one dimension of a face of a paper with at least one frequency in the range of from about 0.5 to about 50 times per cm. The colours contrast with black or similar dark colour to permit black or similar dark coloured information to be visibly readable when applied to the coloured pattern. The colours also cooperate with such information to provide a document resistant to photocopying and transmission by telefacsimile.

IPC: B24D7/14
Filed: 1989-02-02
Granted: 1994-07-13
Abstract: The grinding wheel (2), which is intended in particular for plunge-cut grinding, has a first abrasive-layer part (5) which contains fine-grained diamonds as well as a further abrasive-layer part (9) which contains larger diamond grains. This grinding wheel can be a straight wheel as well as a cup wheel. Known embodiments of such grinding wheels either cannot obtain the required surface roughness or exhibit high wear, since they do not have a continuous high proportion of diamonds in the outer marginal area of the end face as protection against rounding-off of the outer edge. In order to remedy this, provision is made for the abrasive-layer part (9) to be provided with diamond grains of larger grading which are arranged in a single layer parallel to the axis of rotation of the straight wheel, the diamonds being arranged at right angles to the axis of rotation in several layers and being held in mutual contact in an electro-deposited bond (10).

Abstract: An operable syringe assembly (20) includes a barrel (21) having an inside surface (22) describing a chamber (23) for retaining fluid, an open barrel end (25), and a distal barrel end (27) having a passageway (28) therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber (23). A plunger rod (33) includes an elongate body portion (34), a proximal end (37) and a distal end (38) with a stopper (39) positioned at the distal end (38). The stopper (39) slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement in the barrel (21). A locking element (42) is positioned in the barrel (21) between the plunger rod (33) and the inside surface (22) of the barrel (21). Locking element (42) includes a proximally and outwardly facing locking barb (46), a distally and inwardly facing resisting edge (50) and an inwardly facing driving edge (52). Driving edge (52) interacts with the plunger rod (33) to move the locking element (42) along the barrel (21) as the stopper (39) is advanced distally along the barrel (21). The resisting edge (50) and the barb (46) prevent proximal motion of the plunger rod (33) with respect to the barrel (21) after the initial motion of the stopper (39) to expel fluid through the passageway (28) wherein proximal motion of the plunger rod (33) with respect to the barrel (21) causes the resisting edge (50) to engage the plunger rod (33) causing the locking element (42) to move in a proximal direction wherein the locking barb (46) engages the inside surface (22) of the barrel (21) to prevent further proximal movement of the plunger rod (33) with respect to the barrel (21). A barrier element (65) is provided on the plunger rod (33) for limiting the delivery volume of the syringe assembly (20) by establishing the maximum proximal position of the locking element (42) with respect to the plunger rod (33).

Abstract: The invention provides a process for production of silver-containing precursor alloys to oxide superconductors, said alloys having reduced amounts of intermetallics. Powders containing metallic elemental components of an oxide superconductor are high energy milled for a predetermined amount of time to increase homogeneity of the mixed metallic elemental components of the oxide superconductor. Silver is then high energy milled into the metallic components. The mixed silver and metallic elemental components of the oxide superconductor are compacted for the silver-containing superconductor precursor. The compacted powder is preferably hot worked at a temperature of at least 50% of the precursor alloy's melting temperature in degrees Kelvin.
