Abstract: A system for framing decorative art or mirrors with narrow frames comprising a frame assembly, a polygonal shaped planar sheet of rigid or semi-rigid material, and lateral movement preventing elements strategically located between the front face of the planar sheet and the frame assembly. The lateral movement preventing elements are strips of resilient compressible foam tape with pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on opposite sides thereof for adherence to the planar sheet and to the frame assembly. The planar sheet is thereby attached to the frame assembly at the location of each of the lateral movement preventing elements, thus providing strength to the frame assembly and preventing the lateral movement or bowing of any of the frame parts with respect to the frame assembly. In bonding the planar surface to the strips, the weight of the planar surface is borne mostly by the strips instead of the mitered joints, greatly reducing the tendency for mitered joints to be separated.

Abstract: A tensioning unit (10) with automatic control of the tension (T) of yarn-formed fabrics (F), having a first electric card (50) mounted in an electromechanical cubicle (60) and used to set the drawing parameters or store and load applicational drawing programs, and a second electronic card (50A), identical to the first and mounted on the tensioning unit (10), and which utilizes a processing program to control an inverter (28), that is connected to a drawing motor (25), in response to a feedback signal originating from a linear position transducer (P) rigid with a spring (30) for tensioning the yarn; a third electronic card (40A) is provided to establish communication between the first electronic card (50) and the second (50A) via a serial line (54) using an infrared optical coupling system. The speed of the motor (25) is controlled on the basis of information received to the position of the spring (30), in such a manner as to maintain the yarn tension (T) constant.

Abstract: A low alpha-ray level glass which emits only an extremely small amount of alpha-ray while maintaining excellent chemical durability, coefficient of thermal expansion and hardness is obtained by introducing fluorine into a SiO.sub.2 --B.sub.2 O.sub.3 --Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --R.sub.2 O (R being an alkali metal) system glass of a specific content range. The amount of alpha-ray emitted from this glass is below 0.02 count/cm.sup.2.hr.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process and system for the removal of butadiene from a cracked gas stream prior to entering a front end hydrogenation reactor in an olefin production facility.

Abstract: A transfer composite for in-mold decoration of molded plastic or rubber articles complexing a casting substrate having a controlled release surface, and a thin discontinuously printed pressure sensitive adhesive tape-strippable pattern deposited on the casting substrate, whereby the transfer composite is suitable for inserting into a mold and adapted to resist print-distorting movement during flow of plastics or rubbers in the mold, yet capable of permanently bonding to the molded article without the use of adhesives. After removal from the mold the casting substrate and the controlled release surface are stripped from the decorated article.

Abstract: A novel packaging container and method of packaging, for attractively and simply storing and displaying four related sets of objects is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides high purity branched alkylsilsesquioxane containing fluids of the general formula Me.sub.3 SiO--(Me.sub.3 SiORSiO).sub.x --SiMe.sub.3, wherein Me is methyl, R is a monovalent hydrocarbon substituent, and x is 1 to 6, and an essentially zero waste process for their synthesis in quantitative yield; and especially n-octylsilsesquioxane containing fluids which are structural analogs of phenylsilsesquioxane containing fluids of the general formula Me.sub.3 SiO--(Me.sub.3 SiOPhSiO).sub.x --SiMe.sub.3, wherein Me is methyl, Ph is phenyl, x is 1 to 6, and have substantially identical sensory properties to their phenylsilsesquioxane counterparts.

Abstract: This invention provides graffiti removers for removing permanent ink stains from painted surfaces. The graffiti removers include an active solvent for dissolving the stains, which are organic in nature, an optional secondary solvent for concentrated attack on the stain without being adversely affected by dilution with water, an emollient for maintaining a uniform dispersion of particulates in the remover and on the graffiti-stained painted surfaces, and an amorphous, particulate, mildly abrasive filler for imbibing the solvents, the filler being selected to permit the slow release of the active solvent.

Abstract: Polymeric sheets or rolls suitable for printing and forming at high rates of production of blown or injection in-mold labeled plastic containers are based on a polymeric transparent, translucent or contact clear substrate having a thickness in the range of 0.002 to 0.008 inches which is reverse printed and overcoated on the container-facing side with a heat activatable adhesive and coated or extruded on the opposite side with an antistatic and/or slip coating. Optionally, such sheet or roll can be printed and then cut into individual labels for affixing to the container as part of a in-molding process. Recyclable containers are provided at high speed without missing labels or doubled labels due to feeding problems. The labels are firmly adherent, and squeeze-release resistant and the indicia, because they are viewable through the labels themselves, are protected against spillage and abrasion.
