Abstract: Oil field chemicals are incorporated in polymeric particles of the condensation product of hydroxyacetic acid or the co-condensation product of hydroxyacetic acid and other compounds containing hydroxy-, carboxylic acid-, or hydroxycarboxylic acid moieties. The particles are introduced into an oil well bore and/or subterranean oil formation where the polymeric particles dissolve over a period of time and release the oil field chemicals.

Abstract: Photopolymerizable compositions for image recording, containing, among other components, addition-polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated compounds and polymeric binders, wherein at least one of these binders is a copolymer of the formula (I) containing 5 to 50 percent by weight of one or more different structural units C1, C2, or combinations thereof containing carboxyl groups.

Abstract: A single handle mixer valve with hard material plates, wherein a fixed member forming a delivery connection for mixed water projects up to the level of the movable plate of the valve, whose cavity forming the duct for water passage encircles the delivery connection by engaging the same, in order to offer a guide for the swinging displacements of the movable plate, while the delivery connection acts as a fulcrum therefor. The cavity of the plate may be blind or it may tranverse right through the plate, which in this latter case sealingly cooperates with a control head which closes the cavity. Preferably the delivery connection is a part of a supporting member for the fixed plate of the valve; a member of a wear resistant material having a low friction coefficient is inserted within the cavity of the movable plate; and some portions of this latter member, the control head or the movable plate itself are shaped so as to exert a preclosure action.

Abstract: Oil field chemicals are incorporated in microcapsules of the condensation product of hydroxyacetic acid or the co-condensation product of hydroxyacetic acid and other compounds containing hydroxy-, carboxylic acid-, or hydroxycarboxylic acid moieties. The microcapsules are then introduced into an oil well bore and/or subterranean oil formation where the microcapsules dissolve over a period of time and release the oil field chemicals.

Abstract: A bagside coupling for an ostomy bag is intended to cooperate with a filter cartridge. Inserting the filter cartridge in a suitable recess results in establishing connection between the interior of the bag and the exterior. Escaping gases are constrained to pass through filter material in the filter cartridge.

Abstract: An improved for preparing N-substituted carbamate comprising reaction of a selected olefin or alcohol with a carbamate in the presence of a catalyst comprising a blend of a perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer and a perfluorinated polymer diluent in a substantially nonpolar reaction mixture.

Abstract: A radiation beam used for selectively exposing a surface is moved in a helical path by means of two oscillating mirrors vibrating about axes that are mutually perpendicular. By maintaining a constant product for oscillating frequency and rotational oscillatory mirror deflection, the level of exposure can be made substantially constant.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for cross-linking polymers that contain aromatic ether containing rings by heating the polymers together with selected halocarbon compounds. The crosslinked polymers have improved chemical resistance.

Abstract: Azeotropic mixtures of 1-chloro-1,2,2-trifluorocyclobutane and methanol are useful in solvent cleaning applications and as refrigerants, aerosol propellants and polymer blowing agents.

Abstract: Organic resins with high surface areas and porosities, which are insoluble in organic solvents and contain few or no flexible groups in the resin structure, are disclosed. Also disclosed is a process for making such resins from polyfunctional aryl alkali metal compounds and a second polyfunctional monomer. Such resins are useful as absorbants.

Abstract: Porous organic microspheres for use in HPLC are formed by coacervating a colloidal silica sol in a uniform mixture of the sol and a polymerizable organic material. The silica particles which formed the sol are removed from the microspheres with ammonium bifluoride. The remaining organic microspheres are rigid, have uniform pore sizes and distribution, and do not swell or shrink in the presence of the solvents used in HPLC.

Abstract: A coating composition which cures at ambient temperatures and contains 20-80% by weight of a binder and 80-20% by weight of a solvent for the binder, wherein the binder contains about:A. 60-80% by weight, based on the weight of the binder, of an acrylic polymer A of polymerized monomers of methyl methacrylate and monomers of styrene, alkylmethacrylate and/or alkyl acrylate each having 2-12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and said polymer having pending from the polymer backbone aminoester groups, hydroxy aminoester groups or hydroxyamine groups,B.

Abstract: A digital sampling instrument is disclosed. The instrument provides the capability of accessing and outputting stored digital data within a single clock cycle. The instrument also provides improved volume scaling for sound generation and further eliminates redundant loading of a particular sound into a sound memory.

Abstract: Poly(ether ketone ketones), which are important engineering resins, are thermally stabilized by being contacted for at least 15 minutes above their glass transition temperature with an organic hydroperoxide containing at least 0.1 mg of active oxygen per gram, having a boiling point above about 130.degree. C., and degradable between 130.degree. C. and the contacting temperature, the hydroperoxide being made from a precursor comprising at least one benzylic or allylic hydrogen in its molecule.

Abstract: This invention relates to an image reproduction process, more particularly a color proofing process, which utilizes a peel-apart photosensitive element comprising a strippable coversheet, a photohardenable layer, an elastomeric layer, and a support, to produce a positive image of the transparency on the coversheet and a negative image of the transparency on the elastomeric layer.

Abstract: A portable pump removal equipment is provided which includes a collar to be secured to the upper end of a well casing, a pair of arms extending outwardly and upwardly from the collar with a wheel rotatably mounted on the outer ends of the pair of arms. A V-shaped guideway is mounted around the periphery of the wheel which releasably engages pipe pulled from the well casing. A latching mechanism on the wheel permits rotation of the wheel in a direction to withdraw the pipe and the pump from the well casing. Rollers mounted on horizontally extending axes on the upper surface of the collar permit the pipe to be withdrawn from the casing without engaging the casing wall.

Abstract: A measuring device constructed from cellulosic material such as heavy paper or paperboard, metal, or a polymeric material, the material of construction having a predetermined geometric shape with creases segmenting the shaped material to facilitate folding, unfolding and refolding the device, the device being calibrated and useful for measuring particulate materials.

Abstract: An eyeglass structure having frame means interconnecting left and right ocular frames to support respective ocular lenses with upper frame edges and with laterally supported and pivotally attached temples. The improvement in the frontal support comprises at least one support post extending upwardly and rearwardly from the eyeglass structure. A frontal support member is carried on the upper end of the support post and is the only frontal support to carry the weight of the eyeglass structure.
