Abstract: A composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of at least one organosiloxane copolymer; (B) 10 to 120 parts by weight of at least one polyorganosiloxane; and (C) 10 to 150 parts by weight of at least one metal alkoxide. Methods for preparing the abovedescribed composition and for treating substrates are also disclosed.

Abstract: Nylon compositions prepared by the melt mixing of a nylon thermoplastic resin and the siloxane based amide are disclosed. The modified nylons are useful in applications requiring nylons with increased hydrophobicity.

Abstract: A hydraulically actuated forklift removably mountable at the front end of a pickup truck and having a frame supported on castered wheels and carrying an upright mast having vertically telescoping upper and lower sections and a fork assembly vertically movable in the upper mast section. Cables attached between the fork means and lower mast section are entrained over pulleys mounted at the top of the upper mast section so as to compound vertical movement of the fork means. An upright hydraulic ram is carried at its lower end on the lower section of the mast and connects to the top portion of the upper mast section. An electrically driven hydraulic pump, electric battery, reservoir and control valves are carried in an enclosed box structure forming part of the frame. The lower end of the mast is pivoted to the frame and a hydraulic cylinder moves the mast between a vertical lift position and a rearwardly inclined transport position.

Abstract: A rotary engine for two cycle operation having arcuate combustion chambers formed in a rotor and correspondingly arcuate pistons mounted for swinging reciprocation in the combustion chambers on connecting rods pivoted to the rotor. The housing contains the rotor and provides an oblong inner periphery forming a raceway for cam followers mounted on the pistons so that, when ignition of the fuel mixture occurs at the beginning of a power stroke, the pistons are forced outwardly against the relative incline of the raceway in such a manner as to cause the pistons to impart rotary motion to the rotor. At about the end of the power stroke, the movement of the rotor causes recesses formed in the rotor at the inner end of the combustion chamber to communicate with exhaust and intake ports formed in the housing on opposite sides of the rotor for venting the spent gases through one of the recesses and receiving a fresh charge of fuel mixture under pressure through the other recess in a scavenging fashion.
