Abstract: A unique design is provided that increases the strength and extends the life of an asphalt saw blade. The asphalt saw blade may include a main body, outer plates and cutter assemblies that are secured to the main body and outer plates. The cutter assemblies can include a front cutter component and a rear cutter component that interlock. The front cutter component may include cutting elements and a plate that reinforces the cutting elements while also shielding the front cutter component's main body from wear. The rear cutter component may also include cutting elements.

Abstract: A process of fabricating aerospace parts using selective laser sintering is provided, wherein the process generally comprises the steps of preparing a powder nylon material, loading the powder nylon material into a laser sintering machine, warming up the powder nylon material according to build warm-up parameters, building the part according to build parameters and part parameters, and cooling down the part according to build cool-down parameters. As a result, parts are produced that are directly used in aerospace structures, which meet the stringent performance requirements of aerospace applications, rather than as rapid prototypes as with conventional selective laser sintering processes. Additionally, specific designs for aerospace parts such as ducts, panels, and shrouds are provided that are produced by the selective laser sintering process.

Abstract: A planar/grinding apparatus comprising a housing, a cylindrical member and a motor is the present invention. The housing has a first planar working surface at a first elevation, a second planar working surface at a second elevation which is greater than the first elevation, and at least one aperture positioned in the first and second planar working surfaces. The cylindrical member projects through the aperture and has at least two abrasive surfaces thereon. The first abrasive surface extends from a third elevation, at least equal to or below the first elevation, to a fourth elevation, above the first elevation and below the second elevation. The second abrasive surface extends from a fifth elevation, at least equal to or below the second elevation and above the fourth elevation, to the sixth elevation, above the second elevation. While the motor rotates the cylindrical member.

Abstract: The measuring dispenser consists of a base element having a container element inserted therein where both elements are of cylindrical construction and can be rotated relative to each other. The base element has a bottom end which has measuring chambers to hold granular material to be dispensed. The container element holds the supply of granular material which fills the measuring chambers through a fill opening. A dispensing channel in the container element is designed to be positioned over a measuring chamber such that when the measuring dispenser is inverted the measuring chamber contents are poured out through the dispensing channel and the dispensing top end.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for multicolor printing of paper webs. The method provides a means for printing creped paper webs while maintaining precise control of color register in spite of any stretching of the web during the printing process. Apparatus is disclosed which comprises a plurality of rotary printing plates, each inked with an ink of an independent color, and a single blanket cylinder for transferring the colored inks in proper register from the plates to the blanket and from the blanket to the web. The blanket cylinder or the impression cylinder or both may be segmented which permits printing selected portions of the web without ironing out embossments in other areas of the web by the printing rolls.

Abstract: Process for transferring overlayed multiple ink patterns from the surface of a release blanket to a receiving surface on a container or other formed article being printed. A substantially transparent film is first formed on the release blanket, with each ink pattern being printed sequentially over this release film. Proper printing on the release film without picking the release film or previously applied ink films is obtained when certain adhesive and cohesive relationships are maintained between the ink films and the release film. An adhesive film may be formed on the article to be printed, or it may be formed over the ink films and the release film on the release blanket. The receiving surface on the article to be printed is brought into contact with the films on the release blanket, with a resulting total transfer of the films on the blanket to the surface of the article.
