Title: Solar control layered coating for glass windows
Inventor: YOUNG PAUL I
IPC: B32B7/023
Filed: 1989-08-30
Abstract: A five-layer coating, commonly called a "stack", for glass windows in order to control the proportion of solar radiation permitted to pass through the window, the remainder being reflected by the coating, while maintaining a desired visible light characteristic transmission. Particularly, the technique is applied to vehicle glass windows, such as truck and automobile windshields, where the amount of solar radiation allowed to pass into the vehicle through the window is minimized within the constraints of maintaining visible light transmission above a certain legal level. The characteristics of the coating are also selected for visible light reflected from the window to the outside to be a substantially neutral color, highly desirable for the overall appearance of trucks and automobiles.

Title: Continuous solvent pulping and washing processes and apparatus
Inventor: GREENWOOD BRIAN F
IPC: D21C3/18
Filed: 1991-05-28
Abstract: A continuous solvent pulping process is practiced with oxygen free gas (e.g. nitrogen) purges of all major treatment vessels (23, 24, 85, 103, 105) during the time when the process is arrested or terminated. The wood chips or other cellulosic fibrous material to be pulped is steamed in a first horizontal steaming zone (23) at a pressure of about 10-20 psi, and then in a second horizontal steaming zone (24) at a pressure of about 20-75 psi. Gases, including vaporized solvent (e.g. ethanol or other alcohol) are vented (via 30, 36) from the steaming zones, and solvent is added (at 39) to the steamed material prior to feeding to a high pressure feeder (11) . The high pressure feeder introduces the material into the top of a single digesting vessel (12), liquid and chips being separated at the top of the digester vessel without mechanical means that could cause a spark. Lignin containing liquid is withdrawn from a central portion (14) of the digester and passed through flash tanks (51-53) and ultimately for lignin and alcohol recovery. Washing -- which also may be practiced using solvent pulp from a batch system -- is accomplished by first continuously passing the pulp to a pressure diffuser (85), then to a first multi stage drum displacer washer (103), and then to a second multi stage drum displacer washer (105). <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Contoured golf club face.
Inventor: KOSMATKA JOHN B
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 1997-10-20
Abstract: A contoured golf club face provides increased structural integrity for a given weight and size is described and shown along with a method for its design. The contoured golf club face includes a vertical stiffening region, a tapered horizontal stiffening region, four similar contoured quadrants of increasingly thinning material toward the center of each quadrant, and thickening regions at face/sole and face/crown intersection regions. The thicknesses of adjoining regions are gradually blended to provide a smooth contoured surface. The present golf club face is light weight, is structurally resistant to impact deformation, is resistant to initial and long-term failure, has its mass center located at its sweet spot, exhibits inertial axes which are aligned with vertical and horizontal axes (i.e. primary club force directions: ball impact force and club centrifugal force directions), and produces acoustical tones. A club incorporating the present contoured golf club face may be provide a certain first acoustical sound when used to hit a ball with a certain first specific area of the face (e.g. the sweet spot or sweet spot region) and to provide a different second acoustical sound when used to hit a ball with an area of the face other than that first area (e.g. other than the sweet spot or sweet spot region). Thus, the present invention may be used to provide an educational tool for use in teaching and/or learning to consistently impact a ball on the optimal region of the club face. <IMAGE>
