IPC: C09D183/06
Filed: 2000-10-18
Abstract: There is disclosed a water-reducible, chrome-free coating composition for providing corrosion protection to a substrate, such as a metal substrate. The deposited coating film is corrosion-resistant and, for coated articles which are threaded, e.g., steel fasteners, the coating provides a non-thread-filling coating. The coating composition contains particulate metal, such as particulate zinc or aluminum. Although substituents can be separately packaged, the composition is virtually always a one-package coating composition. The composition is water-based, while also containing low-boiling organic liquid. The composition also contains water-reducible organofunctional silane, particularly an epoxy functional silane, as a binding agent. The composition has highly desirable, extended shelf life. The composition can be easily applied in usual manner, such as dip-drain or dip-spin technique, and readily cures at elevated temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for actively reducing the noi se emissions of a jet engine (1) comprising an air inlet (3), a gas outlet (4) and an engine (5) which is situated between the air inlet (3) and the gas outlet (4). At least one first electroacoustic transducer (7, 7') is situate d in the air inlet (3) before the engine (5) and/or in the gas outlet (4) afte r the engine (5). Said first electroacoustic transducer converts sound waves (30) into first signals (31) which are a measure of the frequency, amplitude  and phase of the sound waves (30). An electronic control unit (16, 16') converts the first signals (31) into second signals (32). At least one secon d electroacoustic transducer (8, 8') is situated centrally in the air inlet (3 ) before the engine (5) and/or centrally in the gas outlet (4) after the engin e (5). Said second electroacoustic transducer converts the second signals (32)  into compensating sound waves (33) which have a frequency, amplitude and pha se so that the sound waves (30) and the compensating sound waves (33) at least partially cancel each other out. The device can also be used for diagnosing the status or functioning of the jet engine and to this end, has a compariso n unit (17, 17') in which the first signals (31) of the first electroacoustic transducer (7, 7') are compared with specified signals.

Title: Echelle d'evacuation a barreaux fortement empilables
Inventor: DIBELARDINO ALDO J
IPC: E06C9/14
Filed: 1999-05-10
Abstract: On décrit une échelle d'évacuation repliable (1) qui comporte des barreaux (5) fabriqués dans un matériau relativement résistant et mince. Ces barreaux présentent des projections de positionnement intégrées (6) permettant de replier l'échelle en toute sécurité, et une section transversale autorisant un empilement très serré et compact de l'échelle. L'échelle d'évacuation se déploie facilement grâce à un coffret (16) équipé de deux jeux d'attaches temporaires. En cas d'urgence, l'échelle d'évacuation se déploie par dégrafage partiel du coffret (16) dans un premier état où un élément de fixation (2) peut être retiré et placé sur un appui de fenêtre. Après vérification que les supports en tissu étroit (4) qui attachent l'élément de fixation aux barreaux ne se sont pas vrillés entre ledit élément de fixation et le barreau de sommet, les autres barreaux (toujours enveloppés dans le coffret et fixés par un deuxième jeu d'attaches temporaires) sont retenus au moyen d'une poignée (17) fixée au coffret. La poignée est ensuite maintenue hors de la fenêtre et lâchée. La vitesse de chute du paquet de barreaux est suffisante pour ouvrir le deuxième jeu d'attaches temporaires et déployer ainsi avec sécurité l'échelle d'évacuation dans une position appropriée. On décrit également une plaque de montage facultative qui peut être utilisée pour stabiliser et fixer l'élément de fixation (2) sur la surface d'un mur au-dessous d'un appui de fenêtre, et pour s'assurer que l'élément de fixation (2) sera solidement maintenu sur n'importe quel appui de fenêtre, quelle que soit l'épaisseur du mur.

Title: Castable double base solid rocket propellant containing ballistic modifier pasted in an inert polymer
Inventor: NEIDERT JAMIE B
IPC: C06B23/00
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: Castable propellant formulations are provided including reduced toxicity ballistic modifiers that do not adversely increase the sensitivity of the propellant to shock detonation. Failure to adequately control the propellant burn rate often results in unacceptable performance of the propellant.  Carbon can act as an effective ballistic, but not to the extent of metal compounds. It has been found that pasting a ballistic modifier, including ballistic modifiers containing lead, in an inert polymer modifies the burn rate of propellants while allowing the use of a reduced amount of modifier to achieve the same desired burn rate modification as the prior art, and therefore creating reduced shortcomings associated with the ballistic modifiers. Accordingly, the use of from about 1 % to about 6 % burn rate modifier wherein the burn rate modifier includes a ballistic modifier pasted in an inert polymer is taught as an effective burn rate modifier in a propellant, in order to provide reduced toxicity means for modifying the propellant burn rate without increasing the sensitivity of the propellant to shock detonation.
Patent CA-2347605-A1 (CA)
Title: Core plug block heater and method
Inventor: BALLEM STEVEN W
IPC: F02N19/10
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the heater provides a core plug having one open axial end and one closed axial end to define a hollow housing. During installation, the closed end of the housing is secured into an engine core bore, such that at least a portion of housing projects inwardly of the bore and is immersed in engine fluid. Independently, a heating element, adaptable to an external power supply, is releasably inserted inside the hollow housing. Heat is therefore conducted directly through the housing directly to the engine fluid and the engine itself. A quick-release retaining member is installed to retain the heating element within the housing while still allowing free rotation of the heating element therein. The free rotation of the heating element allows an electrical connector from an external power source to interconnect with the heating element completely independent of the final orientation of the heating element inside the core plug or the end orientation of the core plug within the engine bore. The present invention therefore functions as both an immersion and a dry heater while simplifying installation and replacement.
