Abstract: A power transmission belt has a body with a) a cushion rubber layer and b) a compression rubber layer disposed on the cushion rubber layer. The cushion rubber layer has load carrying cords embedded therein and a first rubber composition including a hydrogenated nitrile rubber, an unsaturated carboxylic acid metal salt, silica, and inorganic peroxide. The compression rubber layer has a second rubber composition including a hydrogenated nitrile rubber, an unsaturated carboxylic acid metal salt, and an organic peroxide.

Abstract: An insulated freight container quilt comprises first and second elongate cover sheets coated on an outer side with polypropylene fiber, the cover sheets being of a material selected from a group of spun bonded polypropylene and spun bonded polyester. A batt of polyester staple fibers mounted together with an acrylic binder is sandwiched between inner sides of the first and second sheets. A seam structure along perimeter edges of the sheets secures the batt between the sheets.

Abstract: A start control for a compressor has an air inlet valve for reducing flow intake when a compressor is started. The valve has a housing with an inlet and an outlet which is connected to a compressor. A rod in the housing is movable relative to the housing and has a shoulder and a piston. A movable plate is mounted on the rod and a spring is interposed between the plate and the housing for biasing the plate toward a closed position in which the housing inlet is at least partially closed. A second spring is interposed between the piston and the housing for moving the shoulder into engagement with the plate and biasing the plate toward the closed position. The housing has a chamber on each side of the piston for receiving air that discharges from the compressor. Air pressure applied to one side of the piston assists the first spring and the second spring move the plate toward the closed position when the compressor is in a start mode of operation.
