Abstract: A process is disclosed for the mixing of relatively small amounts of liquid or liquefied additive with relatively large amounts of solid granular material comprising: forming, in a conduit, a continuous pneumatic- or gravity-borne stream of solid granular material; passing an inert gas stream through a constricting orifice to maintain sonic velocity flow conditions therein; concurrently introducing a stream of said liquid or liquefied additive into said inert gas stream in said constricting orifice under conditions such that combined stream sonic velocity flow conditions are maintained; and introducing the resulting combined liquid or liquefied additive and inert gas streams into said conduit to effect addition of said liquid or liquefied additive to said solid granular material.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for the controlled depth scoring of conduits for the pneumatic transfer of particulate plastic materials comprising: a scoring assembly having interconnected drive power inlet means, motor drive means, drive coupling means, centering means and controlled depth score cutting means; and feed means connected therewith for longitudinally passing said scoring assembly through said conduits at a controllable uniform speed.

Abstract: Unsymmetrical bis-[N-alkyl-N-arylcarbamate] sulfide compounds exhibit outstanding miticidal, nematocidal and insecticidal activity, coupled with substantially reduced mammalian toxicity and phytotoxicity.

Abstract: Ketoalkanesulfenyl and ketoalkanethiosulfenyl carbamates exhibit exceptional pesticidal activity.

Abstract: A method of controlling acarina ectoparasites on warmblooded animals by orally administering to the animals an ectoparasitically effective amount of a 2-aryl-1,3-cyclohexanedione compound and alkali metal salts, ammonium salts and enol ester derivative thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for internally cooling extruded tubular film produced from film-forming polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and the like.

Abstract: A collapsible funnel having a body portion and a movable dam forming an integral part of the body portion located adjacent a fluid inlet for the funnel. The dam in operating condition is in the form of a movable wedge-like configuration.

Abstract: A primary dry cell comprising a metal anode cup having a cathode mix therein, an open end, a central cathode rod through the open end, and a closure, the closure having a central bore and a venting sleeve defined by an annular groove in the closure and being disposed proximate the central bore.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for stuffing viscous food product into a shirred tubular casing article contaning a casing diameter sizing means confined within an unshirred portion of one closed end, comprising means to stretch-size and snub the casing to a predetermined diameter as it is being stuffed and control means to regulate the shape of the leading end and trailing end portions of a clip closed food product.

Abstract: A disposable diaper having a stretchable waistband having a topsheet provided with means for passing liquid therethrough, a water impermeable backsheet and an absorbent pad disposed therebetween, one of said topsheet or backsheet being fabricated from a water impermeable stretchable plastic film having end portions extending beyond said absorbent pad, each end portion being folded upon itself and adhered to itself to form a stretchable waistband for the diaper.

Abstract: A disposable diaper having a topsheet and backsheet one of which is stretchable, the other non-stretchable and wherein both extend beyond the edges of the absorbent material to provide a waistband. The non-stretchable sheet is provided with openings to permit stretching of the waistband.

Abstract: A sizing disc for a shirred tubular casing length utilized in a stuffing apparatus said sizing disc including a rim portion, a wall support extending inwardly therefrom and terminating in a terminal end portion defining an annulus, and frangible self-locking elements disposed on said terminal end portion.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for implanting a sizing disc into an open unshirred end of a shirred tubular casing wherein the sizing disc is larger in diameter than the inflated unshirred end of the casing. The invention provides means for the uniform contacting and local stretching of unshirred casing that surrounds the disc as the disc advances through the unshirred end of the casing.

Abstract: A prepackaged shirred tubular casing article comprising a shirred casing length having a sizing means confined within an unshirred portion of said casing length, said sizing means having an outer perimeter larger than the inner perimeter of said unshirred casing length.

Abstract: A battery separator is provided which is suitable for use in a variety of dry cell systems. The separator comprises a thin carrier of bonded Beta glass fibers coated with partially cross-linked polyacrylamide.

Abstract: A process for producing water swellable poly(alkylene oxide) which comprises introducing into a reaction zone an admixture of poly(alkylene oxide) having a molecular weight of at least 100,000 and an inert hydrocarbon solvent containing a free radical catalyst; adding to said reaction zone acrylic acid, heating said reaction zone at a temperature within the range of about 40.degree.C to about 100.degree.C for a time sufficient to produce said water swellable poly(alkylene oxide), and thereafter recovering said water swellable poly(alkylene oxide) from said reaction zone.

Abstract: A molding device for producing compressed material such as meat patties and the like. The device is capable of forming meat patties of uniform size and shape and provides for easy removal of the formed meat patty.
