Abstract: Fused, crystalline eutectic material comprising aluminum oxycarbide/nitride-Al2O3.rare earth oxide eutectics. Examples of useful articles comprising the fused eutectic material include fibers and abrasive particles.

Abstract: A composite material suitable for labeling a substrate. The composite material, which is preferably a ceramic composite, comprises a fired ceramic body and a layer thereon. The fired ceramic body includes a base layer that comprising a glassy phase and a refractory phase, the glassy phase being capable of wetting a substrate at an application temperature. There is sufficient color contrast between the top layer and the fired ceramic body such that a code pattern (e.g., a bar code) present (or formed) is optically discernible. Methods of making and using the same are also taught.

Abstract: Abrasive articles comprising abrasive particles and at least one of (a) a reaction product of components comprising a resole phenolic resin and a bisphenol/fornaldehyde resin, (b) a bond system is derived by curing a mixture of a resole phenolic resin and a bisphenol/formaldehyde resin, and/or (c) a bond system comprising polymeric material preparable by combining components comprising a resole phenolic resin and a bisphenol/formaldehyde resin.

Abstract: A stranded cable that includes a plurality of brittle load bearing wires and a means for maintaining the stranded arrangement of the brittle wires. Because the load bearing wires are brittle, they cannot be sufficiently deformed during conventional cable stranding processes in such a way as to maintain their helical arrangement. Therefore, the means for maintaining the helical arrangement of the stranded wires allows the stranded cable to be conveniently provided as an intermediate article or as a final article. When used as an intermediate article, it may be later incorporated into a final article such as overhead power transmission cables. The maintaining means may be a tape, an adhesive tape, or a binder applied to the stranded wires.

Abstract: Enclosed antenna for use in toy remote control assemblies. In one aspect the antenna is a flexible antenna which can be flexed to fit within housings of remote control devices and toys (e.g., toy vehicles). The flexible antenna may include an electrically conductive layer coupled to a flexible substrate, wherein the electrically conductive layer is in the shape of an antenna pattern.

Abstract: A dispenser and method for attaching abrasive sheets to a backup pad. The dispenser conveniently centers on the backup pad an abrasive sheet that is larger than the backup pad. In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser comprises: a holder configured to receive circular abrasive sheets, the holder including a bottom, a top, front portion and a rear portion, wherein the rear portion extends farther from the bottom than the front portion, and wherein the bottom of the holder defines at least a 180 degree arc of a first circle having a first radius; a slider guide extending along the rear of the holder; and a spacer mounted in the guide, wherein the spacer is movable along the guide from a first position within the front portion of the holder to a second position beyond the front portion of the holder, the spacer defining an arc of no more than 180 degrees of a second circle having a second radius smaller than the first radius.

Abstract: The Invention also provides the rotary tool having the article attached thereto and a method of using. The present invention relates to a cutting article having at least one rigid surface comprising a polymeric material designed for use with a rotary tool which is particularly useful for efficiently removing a material (such as a sealant, for example) from a substrate. Preferably the material is removed with minimal or no damage to the substrate.
