Abstract: A widescreen television picture is sampled at a higher sampling rate so as to fit all of the information in the current 52.5 us active video line time. A selection signal is also incorporated with the widescreen picture signal, allowing non-widescreen television receivers to display a contiguous portion of the widescreen picture without geometric distortion. The widescreen television signal is transmitted either in MAC or widescreen NTSC format, and is received by a decoder. The decoder allows the entire widescreen picture to be displayed on a widescreen receiver, and makes use of the selection signal to display the selected portion of the picture on a standard receiver without geometric distortion. In another embodiment, a decoder allows television signals having the standard aspect ratio to be displayed on receivers having widescreen aspect ratios without geometric distortion. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention discloses an alkali oxide free low density refractory material especially adapted for use as a disposable liner material for molten metal containing vessels. This material includes about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a stiffening agent, about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a set retarding agent, about 0.1 to 6 weight percent of density reducing materials, about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a plasticizer, up to about 2 weight percent of a secondary binder, and the balance of a refractory aggregate which is preferably MgO. The stiffening agent and set retarding agent are used in substantially the same amounts to provide the disclosed refractory material with increased resistance to slumping while, at the same time, allowing spraying apparatus residence times of up to 30-40 minutes without clogging. The composition includes less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali oxides, so that reaction and fusion of the disposable liner with a permanent liner is avoided thereby allowing increased ease in mechanical removal of the disposable liner. Also, the invention relates to methods for applying the disposable lining by spraying and an apparatus for holding molten metal which includes a steel shell, a relatively permanent refractory lining disposed therein and a disposable lining disposed upon at least a portion of the permanent refractory lining.

Abstract: An apparatus for annealing and heat treating biaxially oriented articles is disclosed, particularly blow molded articles prepared from preforms which are simultaneously annealed using warm fluid in a first segmented mold. The blown article is transferred to a second, larger mold where the article is pressurized against the mold to form the final container design and to heat treat at least a portion of the bottle wall to improve crystallinity and strength. Portions of the mold, used to form and anneal 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 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 95 DEG  C. for PET bottles. The second mold is up to 10% larger in volume and preferably employs resistance heating to heat treat the side wall to 110 DEG  C. to 220 DEG  C. and the neck-shoulder wall to less than the side wall but within the 110 DEG  C. to 220 DEG  C. temperature range for up to 30 seconds. The article is next cooled by injecting an evaporatable fluid like water which evaporates and immediately cools the article which is then removed from the mold. The heat treatment increases the article's structural strength, does not affect biaxial crystallinity reduces gas permeability, retains transparency and allows for multiple reuse of the article including hot washing thereof.

Abstract: The invention, relating to an easy-open metal container end, places a portion of the metal of the tear panel (12), in the region where a score stop otherwise would be located, under compression by forming a short coined depression or bead (40) in the tear panel, preferably in the public side, close to the score line (15) at least at the end of the vent region (35) opposite from the inner hook (16), which is located at the radially inward end of the tear panel score line. During initial opening or venting action, as the rivet (25) is lifted by initial tab motion, separation proceeds along the score line, beneath the nose (28) of the tab (27). The metal adjacent and in this coined depression tends to move partially underneath the metal on the opposite side of the score line from the coined vent bead. This action provides sufficient disruption or retarding of the score line separation or rupture, during venting, to confine such separation to the vent region until internal pressure is vented. Further separation of the tear panel can proceed under control of continued raising tab motion and resulting opening force. By providing such a coined vent bead, the score stop may be made considerable less deep leaving adequate residual metal along score line (15), or the score stop can be entirely eliminated in some cases, thereby making it possible to achieve consistent and proper venting in ends made of thinner metals, e.g. in the order of 0.009--0.008 inch. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rotary actuator derives its power from a synchronous motor preferably of the AC type providing constant output speed, and from a non-synchronous motor, preferably of the DC type, in a helper capacity to provide additional torque for a load. Use of certain types of non-synchronous motors to provide a portion of the maximum torque is cheaper than using a synchronous motor whose size is adequate for the maximum torque requirement. A torque limiting clutch which couples the non-synchronous motor output to the synchronous motor output allows the non-synchronous motor to run compatibly with the synchronous motor. A hysteresis coupling type of torque limiting clutch is preferred. In a preferred embodiment, both of the motors drive a gear train, with the non-synchronous motor coupled to the gear train by the torque limiting clutch.
