Abstract: A two-way dual action clamp for accurately clamping together two or more workpieces. The clamps are particularly useful in temporarily clamping together two European style wall cabinets prior to permanently joining the units together with a plurality of screws. Each clamp has two jaws, one L-shaped and one I-shaped which, when assembled form a U-shape. The jaws are manipulated by a hand operating screw so as to clamp together workpieces such as abutting sides of frameless cabinet units. A second hand operating screw carries a pressure plate and extends transversely through a threaded opening in the bight portion of the U-assembly. The pressure plate acts to bring edges of the cabinet units into flush relationship. The distal ends of the jaws are provided with spring actuated workpiece engaging and retaining cams which are spread apart to a limited extent when workpieces are inserted between them.

Abstract: An apparatus for mechanically assisting the transfer of an image from an image bearing member onto a substrate. The apparatus includes a transfer assist blade that forces a substrate toward an image bearing member, a motor, a mechanical assembly for coupling the motor to the transfer assist blade such that motor operation changes the transfer assist blade force, and a controller that controls the motor operation. The controller might receive inputs from a substrate sensor, an operator control panel, and/or a service adjustment. The controller might use those inputs to control the motor operation, and thus the transfer force. Alternatively, the controller might control the transfer force as a result of the operation of the overall machine, such as by changing the transfer force during duplex printing or during the transfer of various color images.

Abstract: The method of changing system files to be able to change either the primary or secondary language or both on a rigid disk to another language, and to provide the operator with the option of selecting either the primary or secondary language as the medium for the display messages and prompts by providing the language requirements on a floppy disk, identifying the specific files of the control to be altered to produce the language requirements, loading the floppy disk into a floppy disk drive, and transferring the language requirements to the rigid disk.

Abstract: A flotation separation cell is disclosed having a rotor-stator pump assembly wherein a rotor body comprises integrally formed hub, blade and top plate members. These members form a gas chamber in an upper sector of the rotor. The blades are curvilinear and of parabolic or vortex shape. A gas stream which is conveyed to the gas chamber is discharged from the gas chamber in a transverse direction and flows in gas pockets along surfaces of moving blades for dispersion in a slurry.

Abstract: Froth flotation of phosphate ore in the presence of residual organic polymeric flocculants is improved in recovery when a collector comprising a fatty acid derived from vegetable or mineral oils and a surface active agent is employed.

Abstract: Improved beneficiation of non-sulfide iron free ores by froth flotation results when the collector employed is a mixture of a naturally derived fatty acid and a partial ester of a polycarboxylic acid having at least one free carboxylic acid group.

Abstract: A combination of conventional frothing agent and a particular amino-aldehyde resin provides better recovery of mineral values than can be obtained with either agent alone.

Abstract: Froth flotation of phosphate and iron ores is improved in recovery when a collector combination of a fatty acid and an alkylamidoalkyl monoester of a sulfosuccinic acid or a salt thereof is employed.

Abstract: Phosphate values are selectively froth floated from an aqueous ore pulp by use of a combination collector comprising a fatty acid and an N-alkyl substituted 3-sulfonic propionamide.

Abstract: Fine coal is recovered with reduced ash content when a bis(alkyl)ester of a sulfosuccinic acid salt is employed as conditioning agent in froth flotation thereof.

Abstract: A conditioning agent comprising a frother and a bis(alkyl)ester of a sulfosuccinic acid salt provides high coal recovery with reduced ash content.

Abstract: Froth flotation of non-sulfide ores is improved in recovery when a collector combination of a fatty acid and a monoester of a sulfosuccinic acid or salt thereof is employed.

Abstract: An improved process of froth flotation for non-sulfide minerals arises when the collector employed is a combination of a fatty acid and an anionic perfluorosulfonate compound.

Abstract: Improved beneficiation of non-sulfide iron ores by froth flotation results when the collector employed is a mixture of a naturally derived fatty acid and a partial ester of a polycarboxylic acid having at least one free carboxylic acid group.

Abstract: Combinations of fatty acids and anionic perfluoroalkyl compounds are superior collectors in the froth flotation of non-sulfide minerals.

Abstract: A combination of a fatty acid and an alkylamidoalkyl monoester of a sulfosuccinic acid or salt thereof provides improved recovery of non-sulfide ores by froth flotation.

Abstract: A combination of fatty acid and a monoester of sulfosuccinic acid or salt thereof provides improved recovery of non-sulfide ores by froth flotation.

Abstract: Improved recovery of mineral values is obtained in froth flotation thereof when the frothing composition employed is a combination of a conventional frothing agent and an amino-aldehyde resin.

Abstract: Process for flotation of non-sulfide ores using partial esters of polycarboxylic acids having the following structure ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group of about 4 to 12 carbon atoms, R" is hydrogen or an alkyl group of up to 12 carbon atoms, n is a number 0-3, and R' is a bivalent grouping of a selected class in combination with fuel oil and alkali.
