Abstract: Steel mill by-product material briquettes or pellets and processes for making the same that results in a briquetted or cold agglomeration pelleted material made from by-product material and a binder comprising gypsum-free cement and sucrose residue for the briquettes or a binder comprising gypsum-free cement and, if required, a sucrose residue for the pellets. These briquettes or pellets are made using a cold roll briquetting process or a cold agglomeration pelletizing process at ambient temperature and can be fed directly into a blast furnace thereby recycling by-product materials while completely by-passing the environmentally adverse and costly sintering process or landfill disposal process.

Abstract: 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)aniline is prepared in a process which provides improved yields and reduction of key impurities. A solution comprising 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)nitrobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, and a platinum catalyst is prepared followed by the addition thereto of hydrazine hydrate in water. The temperature is maintained at 80.degree. C. to 110.degree. C. during the addition and until completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. and filtration, washing, and distillation workup steps follow.

Abstract: A frozen confections blending machine, especially for blending basic frozen comestibles with flavors of users' choices, whereby each end product may vary, in quick succession, from a previous one. To perform the therefor required change-over procedure, the subject improvements were introduced, including facilities for rapid, frequent and sanitary cleaning operations between product changes, such as a permanently built-in sink having drainage, protective shieldings against random soilage of the internal machine components and provisions for improved safety of machine operations of those parts which were not rendered safe by the sanitary improvements.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for fastening insulation to a pipe which comprises an adjustable crib which is fastened both to the pipe and to the insulation. It prevents the insulation from shifting along the pipe. Additionally, a system for fastening insulation to a pipe is shown which comprises at least one of the cribs which is mounted both to the pipe and to the insulation. Further, a method is disclosed for fastening insulation to a pipe which comprises the steps of securing at least one of the adjustable cribs to a pipe and then connecting the insulation to the crib.

Abstract: The inertial energy storage device of the present invention comprises a composite ring formed of circumferentially wound resin-impregnated filament material, a flanged hollow metal hub concentrically disposed in the ring, and a plurality of discrete filament bandsets coupling the hub to the ring. Each bandset is formed of a pair of parallel bands affixed to the hub in a spaced apart relationship with the axis of rotation of the hub being disposed between the bands and with each band being in the configuration of a hoop extending about the ring along a chordal plane thereof. The bandsets are disposed in an angular relationship with one another so as to encircle the ring at spaced-apart circumferential locations while being disposed in an overlapping relationship on the flanges of the hub. The energy storage device of the present invention has the capability of substantial energy storage due to the relationship of the filament bands to the ring and the flanged hub.
