Title: Combination bed concrete casting apparatus
IPC: B28B7/02
Filed: 1979-09-07
Abstract: A combination bed concrete casting apparatus (20, 122 or 200) which allows either a single relatively wider elongated slab (116 or 200) or at least two relatively narrower elongated slabs (46 and 48 or 206 and 208) to be manufactured. A casting bed is divided longitudinally along the bottom wall into sections (34 and 36 or 202 and 204) which are movable transversely relative to each other. An elongate removable intermediate form (44 or 214) is positionable between the casting bed sections in a generally parallel relationship with the side form walls to form an intermediate wall. When it is desired to cast a single concrete member (116 or 200) extending all the way from one side form wall to the other, the intermediate form (44 or 214) is removed and the casting bed sections are moved closely adjacent one another. Alternatively, if itis desired to manufacture a separate concrete member in each casting bed section, the intermediate form is positioned between the sections. The combination bed apparatus may be adapted for use in combination with either a fixed bed casting apparatus or a moving bed casting apparatus. The relative transverse movement of the casting bed sections may be accomplished either by moving both sections (34 and 36) away from a centerline, or moving one section (202) away from the other (204), which remains fixed.

Title: Dynamic Scattering Liquid Crystal Display Systems
IPC: C09K19/20
Filed: 1981-01-14
Abstract: Liquid crystal displays using the "dynamic scattering" mode of operation, though free of many of the disadvantages of the twisted-nematic displays, and particularly useful for large-area, back-illuminated displays, have declined in popularity because of their short life expectancy. It has now been discovered that the addition to a dynamic mode liquid crystal composition of one or more long chain hydroxy ester of the general formula  (HO)n-R-O-OC-X   (I> (wherein: -OC-X represents the acyl residue of a long chain carboxylic acid; and (HO)n-R- represents the residue of a cyclic or acyclic, straight or branched chain polyhydroxylic alcohol containing at least two hydroxy groups), so stabilises the cell constructed using the liquid crystal composition that its lifetime is increased, possibly by a factor of ten. A particularly preferred such ester I is pentaerythritol mono-oleate.

Abstract: A moulded plastics casing 1 comprising a lid 2 and a base 2A accommodates two moulded plastics rotatable spools formed with projecting operating knobs 8 and 9. A roll of flexible plastics material or paper having letters of the alphabet printed thereon is provided on one of the spools and has its free end engaged within a slot in the other spool so that the letters can be viewed through a reading window 14 in the lid 2. The letters are arranged in a series of lines parallel to the axes of rotation of the spools and the lines form sets such that, as the lines of a set are viewed successively and one at a time through the reading window 14 by turning one of the operating knobs 8, a word is progressively built up within the reading window 14. As each line appears in the window 14 the letter or letters on that line should be sounded (reading) or the names of the letters recited (spelling). The words on the roll are related to one another by having sounds in common so as to form a "phonic progression". Other phonic progressions are formed on further rolls which may be inserted in the aid in place of the existing roll. <IMAGE>
