Abstract: A radial tyre comprises a tread, a breaker reinforcement under the tread and a carcass of radially extending reinforcement cords at least one of which comprises a strip of circumferentially extending material joined at the ends, the reinforcement cords being anchored in each of two bead regions by wrapping around a bead core and rubber encases said bead region to provide a bead seating region radially inside the bead core to provide a seating onto a wheel rim wherein the rubber bead seating region has a smaller thickness, measured radially of the tyre under the bead core, in a zone circumferentially adjacent to the said joint. 
     The method of manufacture comprises shaping the radially inner surface of the bead to have an increased radius in a localised region. 
     The resulting tyre is improved in uniformity by mitigating the effects of component joints.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for pickling and pretanning hides, which is characterised in that   (I) the hides are pickled in an aqueous liquor A which is free from salts, and (a) contains a product of the reaction of phenol and a sulphonating agent, where the phenol:SO3 molar ratio is from 1:1.1 to 2.2, and (II) the pickled hides are pretanned in the same bath by addition of an aqueous composition B containing (b) a reductive saccharide having a dextrose equivalent of from 10 to 100, and   (c) an aliphatic dialdehyde containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms.   The present combined one-bath pickling/pretanning process allows the production, in treatment baths which are free from neutral salts and heavy metals, of readily shavable wet-white leathers which are suitable for further processing by all customary tanning methods.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment plant for removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants comprising a pre-treatment chamber, a biofilm-aeration chamber and a settling chamber. Biofilm grows on biofilm support structure which is stationary and submerged in the mixed liquor of the biofilm aeration chamber. The combination of submerged or surface aeration and suspended solids particle size reduction occurs thereby creating a sufficient fluid flow within the biofilm aeration chamber. This combination of sufficient fluid flow, and reduced size suspended organic particles results in the efficient digestion of organic matter and pollutants by the biofilm growing on the biofilm support structure submerged in the biofilm aeration chamber. This results in a vastly more effective digestive process than conventional processes producing no sludge. Further, resulting treated effluent has a high dissolved oxygen content and low BOD and SS. The apparatus and process has the following advantages: low MLSS concentration, short biofilm incubation time, no clogging of the system, good response to shock loading, high DO in the effluent, consistent effluent quality, sludge is eliminated, wastewater treatment duration is shortened, the process is not temperature sensitive, plant design is greatly simplified, plants of the present invention are small by comparison to conventional plants, the present invention can be a significant step in the treatment of drinking water, energy consumption during treatment is low, the present invention is very cost effective, the process permits other purification processes to be used and the process is volumetrically and BOD insensitive.

Abstract: The emergency, fail safe capacitive energy source and circuit is used in conjunction with an air damper actuator or a valve actuator. In particular, the capacitive energy source and circuit powers a fractional horsepower motor and both the motor as well as the capacitive energy source and circuit are completely contained within an actuator container of a relatively small size. The capacitive energy source and circuit include at least one high storage capacitor (rated 0.047 farads or higher) having a volumetric size not exceeding 30 cubic inches. Preferably, a bank of high value capacitors are utilized wherein the capacitors are coupled in series or parallel to power the AC or DC motor and associated circuitry. The capacitive energy source and circuit also includes a charging circuit coupled between the motor drive power source and the capacitor or bank of capacitors. A sensor is coupled to the motor drive power source and generates a control signal in the absence of power from the motor drive power source. A switch, controlled by the control signal, is coupled to the motor drive power source and is also coupled to the capacitor or bank of capacitors. The switch has a switched output coupled to the motor. The switch passes power from the motor drive power source to the motor in the absence of the control signal from the sensor and passes power from the capacitor or bank of capacitors in the presence of the control signal. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor is a coil of DC operated relay and the switch embodied by the relay contacts and is actuated by the relay coil.

Abstract: On décrit des éléments de dosage de médicaments et de collecte de fluides corporels et un appareil qui les regroupe et permet d'accélérer de façon appropriée le rythme d'absorption d'un médicament et de collecter une quantité suffisante de fluide corporel par l'application d'une faible tension électrique. Des électrodes (7a, 7b), qui permettent d'appliquer cette tension DC, et des vibrateurs à ultrasons (8a, 8b) sont disposés sur la face interne des récipients (4a, 4b) qui présentent des ouvertures (3a, 3b) sur leur côté en contact avec la peau et qui sont remplis d'un liquide corporel, l'ensemble constituant un appareil à éléments de dosage de médicaments et de collecte de fluides corporels (A, B) placés sur une même feuille adhésive (1). Selon l'invention, un courant électrique suffisamment intense s'écoule dans la peau même lorsque la tension appliquée entre les électrodes est abaissée par la résistance électrique amoindrie de la peau du fait que cette dernière est parcourue par les ondes ultrasonores. Le dosage des médicaments et la collecte de fludes corporels, basés sur l'électrophorèse, peuvent alors intervenir.

Abstract: Procédé de frittage de ferraille, utilisé dans un processus permettant de produire du minerai fritté servant de matière brute pour la fabrication du fer dans un haut-fourneau à courant d'air forcé ou autre. En éliminant le Zn contenu dans la ferraille au cours d'un procédé de frittage, il est possible d'utiliser une grande quantité de grenailles dans un haut-fourneau tout en améliorant le rendement en minerai fritté au cours dudit procédé. Au cours de la production d'un minerai fritté, utilisé comme matière brute pour le traitement en haut-fourneau, à l'aide d'un appareil d'agglomération par frittage du type Dwight Lloyd, un mélange que l'on obtient à partir de petits copeaux de ferraille mélangés à une matière brute est placé sur une palette afin de produire le minerai fritté contenant la ferraille. Le mélange destiné à former une couche de chargement peut être effectué selon trois procédés, notamment un mélange formant toutes les couches, un mélange formant seulement la couche supérieure et un mélange formant seulement la couche inférieure. Des ferrailles sont fixées dans le minerai filtré afin de servir de matière brute utilisée dans un haut-fourneau. En outre, selon ce procédé, la quantité de charbon utilisé comme source de chaleur peut être réduite, et la production de CO2 et de NO2 par le charbon brûlé peut être limitée.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for annealing biaxially oriented articles is disclosed, particularly blow molded articles prepared from unique tapered preforms which are immediately annealed using warm fluid in a segmented mold. Portions of the segment mold, used to form the articles, are temperature controlled at various temperatures by passing warm water through conduits in the neck-shoulder portion and body portion of the mold segment and cold water through the bottom and shoulder portion of the mold to bring the temperature of the article wall to about 65 DEG  C. to 85 DEG  C. for PET bottles. The body wall temperature is preferably lowered to about 80 DEG  C. while the necks-shoulder and bottom and shoulder portions are lowered to at least 70 DEG  C. The annealing increases the articles structural strength, removes temperature and biaxial stress, reduces gas permeability, retains transparency and allows for multiple reuse of the article including hot washing thereof.
