Abstract: A metal substrate is provided with a coating that (i) provides substantial corrosion resistance, (ii) makes it possible to shape the substrate by roll forming and similar light cold forming operations without the need for any oil or wax lubricant, and (iii) has good adhesion to subsequently applied paint. This is achieved by coating the metal substrate surface with an aqueous liquid composition that contains acrylate polymer resin, wax, and hexavalent chromium and then drying this coating into place on the surface to produce the desired dry coating.

Abstract: The invention is a cleaning solution for degreasing metal articles which contains water soluble, N-alkyl substituted amides in which the alkyl substituent has from 6 to 22 carbon atoms and at least one of (i) amine oxide surfactants, (ii) non-ionic water soluble nonionic surfactants with molecules containing a polyoxyalkylene block, and (iii) alkali stable anionic, or both anionic and amphoteric, surfactants. Preferred compositions of the invention can replace a vapor degreasing process for cleaning oil, grease, and waxy-type contaminants from metal articles to the level of cleanliness required in the aerospace industry.

Abstract: A music synthesizer includes main resonator, such as a digital waveguide network, that is coupled to a digital passive nonlinear filter. The passive nonlinear filter receives traveling wave signals from the resonator and generates modified traveling wave signals having a different frequency spectrum than the received traveling wave signals without changing the received traveling wave signals' energy content. The passive nonlinear filter then transmits the modified traveling wave signals back into the resonator. The passive nonlinear filter includes a first memory element for retaining an internal energy state and a dual-mode signal generator that generates the modified traveling wave signal from the received signals and the internal energy state using a first signal processing method when the internal energy state has a negative value and using a second distinct signal processing method when the internal energy state has a positive value.

Abstract: A new Star Shot Wave Tumbler System for polishing objects such as jewelry or coins with a simple water, soap and scrubbing tumbler shot solution in a short period of time with a quality polish. The inventive device includes a circular tumbler drum to retain the objects being polished, a stability means preventing undue vibration of the circular tumbler drum, a tumbler rotation means rotating the circular tumbler drum, at least one scrubbing tumbler shot for every two jewelry pieces or every two charms or any combination of two thereof, to polish the object and a wave tumbler member to agitate the objects during polishing.

Abstract: Seal coating compositions and methods of applying them to metallic surfaces, particularly aluminum or alloys thereof, beating a previously formed protective coating, particularly a conversion coating, such as a chromate or phosphate coating or a chrome-free metal oxide conversion coating, or a coating formed by anodization, provide improved corrosion resistance beyond that provided by the previously formed protective coating. The seal coating compositions preferably contain at least one of benzotriazole, nickel and/or cobalt cations and borates, or aminated polymers of vinyl styrene.
