Abstract: A hydroxy functional urethane modified polyester resin and solvent-based thermosetting coating composition comprising said resin and blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent. The coating composition may be formulated as a hot sprayable, high solids coating composition suitable for use as chip resistant automotive vehicle primer suitable for use on body panel areas subject to chipping by stones, gravel and other road debris. Alternatively, the composition may be formulated as a high solids composition sprayable with conventional spraying equipment. The hydroxy functional urethane modified polyester resin is the product of polymerization of lactone monomers in the presence of hydroxy-containing urethane modified polyester precursor. The polymerization reaction mixture comprises between about 10 and about 80 weight percent the hydroxy-containing urethane modified polyester precursor and between about 90 and about 20 weight percent lactone monomers.

Abstract: For chip-removing machining of the contact surfaces of rails 1, a stationary system is used which to attain high machining output as well as good surface quality uses a rotating, internally toothed milling ring 2, the flight circle of which generates the normally elliptical contact surface profile of the rail 1, in a position inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rail. To avoid reproducing the ridged defects 18 of the contact surface, at least one conical supporting roller 17 is used in the machining region, its elliptical contact arc being designed with a substantially longer radius of curvature than the amplitude length of the ridges.

Abstract: A plastic injection mold having means therein for holding an insert to be secured in the formed product. A pair of complimentary sized mold sections are movable together, one mold section having a pin fixedly mounted thereto and extending toward a second pin slidably mounted in the second mold section and aligned with the first pin. In the preferred embodiment, a helical spring contacting the slidable pin urges the pin outwardly to initially hold an insert. As the mold closes, the pins are contacted together with the spring being yieldable to allow retraction of one pin and the transfer of the insert mounted thereon onto the second pin. In an alternate embodiment, the retractable pin is fixedly mounted to a movable plate having a spring loaded leg depending therefrom with the leg being contactable by the mold sections as the mold is closed for the retraction of the slidable pin and the transfer of the insert.

Abstract: A continuous apron type sortation conveyor having carton pushers which travel with and crosswise of the apron is provided with branch lines arranged in pairs directly opposite each other along the main line to which oppositely angled guide tracks for the pushers lead from positions adjacent the center of the conveyor. The successive carton pushers enter the upstream end of the conveyor on the opposite side of the apron from the side to which they will deliver the carton assigned thereto, and immediately thereafter, they are caused to travel approximately half-way across the apron to a centered position thereon, while at the same time pushing the carton assigned thereto to a position close to the side edge of the apron from which they are to be delivered to a branch line.

Abstract: The basic element provided by the invention carries out the basic logic functions of storage and/or transfer of the data applied at the input, typical of a latch. Two ways of embodiment of the basic element having active phase at the high and low level of the clock signal are described. The basic element presents a transfer-gate transistor at the input controlled by the clock signal, followed by an inverter at whose signal leads two positive feedback networks are connected, one of which controlled by the clock signal, to stabilize the logic levels (FIG. 1).

Abstract: An injection mold assembly for formation of thin walled multi-partitioned plastic containers. An array of cantileveredly mounted and spaced apart cores are extendable into a female mold assembly which includes a pair of side cavity cams and end cavity cams closeable upon the array, but spaced therefrom to form the plastic container therebetween. A plurality of side locking wedge shaped fingers are extendable into the slots spacing the cores apart. The fingers are arranged to extend into the opposite sides of the array of cores in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the array spacing the cores apart while plastic is injected into the assembly by injectors mounted to the female mold. A pair of end pushers contact the two outermost cores in the array limiting outward movement of the cores during the injection step. The end pushers likewise extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the array.

Abstract: A frequency detector completely implemented with digital logic circuitry is disclosed. The frequency detector hereof employs a unique phase locked loop digitally implemented with asynchronous ripple counters, and a digitally implemented amplitude comparator and signal integrator. The detector is especially adapted for implementation in CMOS hardware, or similar hardware having low current drain characteristics. The selectivity of the detector can be set to a narrow bandwidth for excellent noise discrimination characteristics.

Abstract: A biological indicator is made of a vial which contains a "spore dot", a nutrient solution in a frangible ampoule, and means for positioning the spore dot and for breaking the ampoule to release the nutrient solution when the cap of the vial is fully pressed on. The nutrient solution typically contains a pH indicator to determine whether all active spores on the strip were killed by a sterilization process which takes place prior to breaking the ampoule.
