Publication number: 20120315182Abstract: A method for preparing R5X4 alloy materials where R is a rare earth element selected from one or more of La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu, Sc, and Y and X represents a non-rare earth alloying element such as silicon, germanium, tin, lead, gallium, indium and mixtures thereof. The method involves carbothermically reducing amounts of a rare earth element-containing oxide, an alloying element-containing oxide and/or alloying element in elemental or alloy form, and carbon at elevated temperature to form an R5X4 alloy material, which is melted, solidified, and optionally heat treated. Such a method provides an economical and efficient technique of configuring magnetic refrigerant, magnetostrictive and magnetoresistive alloys and products.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Inventors: Karl A.

Patent number: 7097142Abstract: A one-piece, resilient, stackable hanger, which is preferably substantially U-shaped, adapted to attach a cable to a substantially flat surface defining an aperture. The hanger supports cable in a straddling relationship when snapped into an aperture of a supporting structure or another complementary hanger. The hanger has spaced-apart legs extending from the center portion. The center portion has two coplanar areas to provide a base for second hanger being stacked on the first hanger. The center portion has a mounting aperture in a recessed area, which is between the two adjacent coplanar areas, wherein the mounting aperture is adapted to allow a second hanger to be secured and stacked on the first hanger. The stackable hanger can straddle a cable and be easily installed by hand by squeezing, inserting, and snapping into an aperture to support the cable.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Beverly Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Frederick Schmidt

Patent number: 6578314Abstract: A combination mole trap and choke for use with the mole trap. The choke effectively functions to reduce the size of the opening through which the mole passes. The choke ensures that upon passage of a mole through a tunnel, the trap will activate thereby causing the jaws to come together on the mole. The choke may be removably or permanently secured to the free end of a trip-pan which integrally forms a part of the mole trap.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Inventor: Thomas Frederick Schmidt
