Abstract: A roof decking membrane welding system and method comprises first arid second roof decking membranes having edge portions thereof welded to each other so as to define a seamed connection therebetween. The edge portion of a first one of the membranes is disposed beneath a seam plate and folded over the top of the seam plate so as to be secured upon itself either at a location adjacent to the seamed con- nection with the second membrane or between the first mem- brane and the edge portion of the second membrane. In either case, the folded edge portion of the first membrane forms a closed loop portion which presents multiple regions for load-sharing in resisting uplifting wind load forces. Al- ternatively, the edge portion of the first membrane is fold- ed over itself but disposed beneath the seam plate so as to present dual plies of the first membrane for engagement with the seam plate so as to again provide load-sharing charact- eristics under uplifting wind load forces.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une chenille en caoutchouc (1) sans renfort interne qui empêche l'apparition de fissurations par l'annulation de la force de cisaillement près du pied d'une arête de guidage. Cette chenille comprend une arête de guidage (3) qui s'étend longitudinalement et dépasse de la surface périphérique interne d'une pièce en caoutchouc (12) du type courroie sans fin sur sa partie centrale latérale, ainsi que des sculptures (4a, 4b) qui dépassent de sa surface périphérique externe. Cette chenille est caractérisée en ce que les zones de non contact avec le sol (6, 6) sont formées dans les sculptures (4a, 4b) dans la partie correspondant à la position indiquée de l'arête de guidage (3). Par ailleurs, vu l'absence de réaction de contact avec le sol de la part de la zone de non contact avec le sol (6) en raison de la présence des zones de non contact avec le sol (6, 6) dans les sculptures (4A, 4B) correspondant à la position indiquée de l'arête de projection (3), on peut efficacement supprimer les forces de cisaillement près du pied de l'arête de guidage (3) ainsi que l'apparition de fissurations.

Abstract: A microwave delivery system for a cooking appliance includes an electronic control unit and a plurality of magnetrons arranged in a spaced relationship for the introduction of various energy fields into an oven cavity. The electronic control unit creates a phase angle shift between each of the microwave energy fields such that a constructive standing wave propagates about the oven cavity. In this manner, localized hot and cold spots, which can detrimentally affect cooking efficiency, are eliminated without the need for mode stirring or turntables. With this system, the total energy delivered to the oven cavity is the combined energy level of the various microwave energy fields.

Abstract: A fire-resistant container having a full gasket at the interface between hinged top and bottom mating elements. The elements are insulated and are formed with matable labyrinthine edges. One of the edges is provided with a smooth, soft gasket disposed in a groove in the labyrinth which forms a seal against a corresponding rib in the opposing edge. The elements are joined along common sides by a hinge, the rotational axis of which is positioned in space relative to the gasket and rib such that, in closing of the container, the gasket engages the rib at all points substantially simultaneously. The hinged elements are secured by over-center latching means such that when the container is fully closed the rib exerts a small and substantially uniform force against the gasket to form a seal against fire and water. Upon being exposed to fire, the hinges and/or the latch may be destroyed without causing the seal between to be broken, thus maintaining the fire- and water-resistance of the container, the weight of the top element further compressing the gasket onto the rib and thereby enhancing the seal.
