Abstract: A process for forging large components of Alloy 718 material so that the
components do not exhibit abnormal grain growth includes the steps of:
   a) providing a billet with an average grain size between ASTM 0 and
ASTM 3;   b) heating the billet to a temperature of between 1750°F and 1800°F;   c) upsetting the billet to obtain a component part (24) with a minimum
strain of 0.125 in at least selected areas of the part;   d) reheating the component part (24) to a temperature between
1750°F and 1800°F;   e) upsetting the component part (24) to a final configuration such that
said selected areas receive no strains between .01 and 0.125;   f) solution treating the component part (24) at a temperature of
between 1725°F and 1750°F; and   g) aging the component part (24) over predetermined times at different
temperatures.    
     A modified process achieves abnormal grain growth in selected areas of a
component where desirable.

Abstract: The grid structure has a woven metal mesh structure with strips as the bars forming the grid. The weft strips (1) are locked to the warp strips (2) where they intersect and, at the same time, they have an identical curvature (3,4) at the intersections projecting above and below the center plane of the grid. The curvatures (3,4) are set to give a bend angle which does not completely distort the strips (1,2) beyond their natural reassertion. The strips (1,2) are of metal with a cross section of ≥ 120 mm<2>, in a polygonal shape and in a metal weight of ≥ 940 g/m. When assembled, they form a grid in a weight of ≥ 15 k/m<2>.

Abstract: The system in question can be considered like a system for
"washing" the ventilation air in the passenger compartment of motor
vehicles or the like and the air contained in interiors and permits abatement
of particles of dust, heavy metals, smoke, pollen and mites while a flow of
air passes through an aqueous solution both in a basin and atomized, which
functions as a natural and totally ecological filter and guarantees efficient
abatement of all impurities. 
     The system basically exploits a purification basin or tank (2) made of
shockproof material and hermetically sealed and containing a certain
amount of water or other basically aqueous liquid (3) that creates an upper
hollow space of purified air. 
     Pump (8) is installed at the inlet duct (4) with suitable power for
generating a flow of air that is delivered into the liquid by using an atomizer
(9) placed in the lower internal part of tank (2). 
     The system also calls for purifying the air in interiors by using a
principle whereby the air is passed through a certain amount of atomized
aqueous liquid to abate practically all the impurities, simulating the action of
rain that washes the air and purifies it.

Abstract: A radio communication apparatus having a
videophone function and a usual phone function,
according to the present invention, incorporates a
camera (10) for inputting an image to realize the
videophone function, and an encoding section (9) for
encoding an image signal output from the camera (10).
It also incorporates a decoding section (8) for
decoding a received image signal input via a radio
section (2) and displaying it on a display screen
section (11). A controller (5) limits the encoding of
the image signal in the encoding section (9), when

decoding section (8). Thus, the invention provides a
radio communication apparatus with a videophone
function, capable of encoding and displaying, only when
necessary during a videophone call, an image signal
transmitted from another radio communication apparatus,
thereby minimizing the consumption of power per unit of
