Abstract: A drywall finishing system including a multi-angle corner bead (1, 12, 26) that forms corner areas where drywall ends against another surface. Most of the intense labor associated with present methods is eliminated since none of the parts need to be coated with mud nor smoothed as by sanding. Corner bead and trim pieces (30, 40, 50) are simply placed on top of a coat of applied mud at the corner. No nails are required since the corner pieces stick to the mud. The corner piece (30) may be cut to length. A coat of mud is applied to both sides of an interior or exterior angle, with the device being placed over the mud and smoothed into place. Once the piece is in place, the edges are covered with a small amount of mud using a wide blade. The corner is then allowed to dry. When dry, the corner can be textured or painted.

Abstract: A drive coupling arrangement for transmitting torque from a drive arrangement to a gear assembly under test has a first coupler portion attached to the gear assembly under test. The coupler has a polygonal cross-sectional configuration and a plurality of substantially planar surfaces that extend parallel to the predetermined length of axis, in the form of an assembly nut of the gear assembly under test at a rotatory terminal thereof. A second coupler portion is coupled to the drive arrangement and has an internal cross-sectional configuration that accommodates the polygonal cross-sectional configuration of the first coupler portion. The second coupler portion has a plurality of engagement portions that communicate exclusively with a predetermined number of the substantially planar surfaces of the first coupler portion, and is axially translatable along the first coupler portion. Axial loading is absorbed by an elastomeric insert that limits the extent of the engagement between first and second coupler portions. The first and second coupler portions exert a torque against one another via the substantially planar surfaces and the engagement portions, over a predetermined range that is limited by the elastomeric insert, which additionally absorbs axial loading. A resilient biasing element urges the second coupler portion axially upward toward the first coupler portion. An isolation support supports the energy transfer system so as to be translatable in at least one plane of freedom.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de polymérisation catalytique en phase gazeuse réalisé dans deux zones de polymérisation interconnectées, zones dans lesquelles on introduit un ou plusieurs monomères en présence d'un catalyseur, dans des conditions de polymérisation et zones à partir desquelles le polymère produit est déchargé. Les particules croissantes de polymère circulent dans une première zone de polymérisation dans des conditions de fluidisation rapide; elles quittent cette première zone pour pénétrer dans une seconde zone de polymérisation à travers de laquelle elles s'écoulent sous forme densifiée sous l'effet de la pesanteur; elles quittent la seconde zone et sont réintroduites dans la première zone de polymérisation, de façon à établir une circulation du polymère entre les deux zones de polymérisation. La présente invention est caractérisée en ce qu'un gaz, d'une composition différente de celle présente dans la première zone de polymérisation, est introduit dans la seconde zone de polymérisation, et en ce que l'on évite que les gaz présents dans la première zone de polymérisation soient introduits dans la seconde zone de polymérisation. Le procédé est particulièrement approprié pour obtenir des mélanges réalisés dans le réacteur de polymères oléfiniques de compositions différentes.
