  • Patent number: 4125586
    Abstract: A process for the removal of aluminum chloride from a liquid solution thereof with the liquid metal chlorides resulting from the chlorination of titaniferous materials by mixing water and sodium chloride with the liquid solution in amounts such that the amount of water is less than equimolar with respect to the total amount of aluminum chloride and the combined amount of water and sodium chloride is at least equimolar with respect to the total amount of aluminum chloride. This process significantly decreases the corrosion of apparatus associated with the presence of aluminum chloride and substantially eliminates losses of titanium tetrachloride and ferric chloride present in the liquid solution and reduces the formation of HCl.

  • Patent number: 4124314
    Abstract: A desk top justifying text writing composing machine including automatic encoding and reading control means for operating a desk top justifying reproducing machine, or for operating larger and more sophisticated printing machines capable of automatic justification. The machine will produce unjustified typed lines and will automatically encode for controlling another machine to print justified lines, as a result of a single series of manual keyboard composing operations and automatic code controlled reproducing operations for producing a justified copy of a literal text, respectively.The machine includes a delete key and automatic deleting and back spacing means that reverses the machine and deletes codes from a code medium according to previously encoded information for back space correction purposes. The machine operates much like a normal office typewriter and may be operated by a person with a little more than normal typewriting skills for encoding a justified corrected text and function control codes.

  • Patent number: 4124754
    Abstract: A process for making sulfur-modified neoprenes, wherein chloroprene, which may be mixed with up to 20 weight percent of another unsatuated, organic monomer, is polymerized in an aqueous, alkaline emulsion in the presence of about 0.25-0.45 part of sulfur per 100 parts of total organic monomer to a conversion of at most 74%; peptization is initiated by adding to the resulting latex 0.3-1.5 parts of tetraethylthiuram disulfide or another tetraalkylthiuram disulfide, then adding sodium dibutyldithiocarbamate or another water-soluble dialkyldithiocarbamate in a ratio to tetraethylthiuram disulfide of at least 0.8:1; and peptization is contained until it is about 85-95% complete. The polymer then is isolated. Neoprenes made by this process have, when vulcanized, outstanding heat and flex resistance and superior tensile properties, tear strength, and compression set.

  • Patent number: 4123932
    Abstract: An improved dosimeter for monitoring working areas in which air, preferably in a relatively large volume, is pumped through the dosimeter at a controlled constant flow and any particles or vapors in the air are collected on a filter, the improvement is the use ofA variable drive pump connected to the filter and driven by an electric motor and controlled by a feed back circuit of an integrator and an amplifier and the pump maintains a constant flow of air through the dosimeter;In the operation of the dosimeter the integrator receives a signal from a pressure switch that detects changes in the flow of the air stream through the dosimeter by a change in a pressure drop of the air which is being pumped through an orifice;The dosimeter is placed in a work area and at the termination of a period of time, such as a work day, the filter is removed and the contents collected are analyzed by conventional techniques such as gas chromatography to determine a level of exposure of individuals working in that area.

  • Patent number: 4124384
    Abstract: Process for forming at least a single color image on a receptor material using photohardenable elements which contain one or more imagewise photohardenable layers toned with a toner material comprising a sublimable dye or mixture of dyes, the process comprising heating for at least 5 seconds, while in contact with a receptor material, either the toned element, the receptor material, or both, to a sublimation temperature of said dye and thereby cause at least a portion of the dye to sublime imagewise and condense on the receptor material. The temperature should not degrade the receptor or photohardenable layer. At least one non-imagewise exposed photohardenable layer may be present in the toned element. The process is useful in forming color proofs or proposed fabric patterns, color prints, projector overlays, etc.

  • Patent number: 4123272
    Abstract: A positive-working imaging element is described comprising a support coated first with a negative-working, solvent-developable, photohardenable stratum, then over-coated with a second negative-working, solvent-developable, photohardenable stratum; the second stratum serves as a mask for the first stratum since it contains ingredients which strongly absorb radiation actinic to the first stratum. The second stratum is imagewise exposed, solvent developed, and the resulting actinically opaque image used as a negative in exposing the first stratum, which is solvent developed to remove the composition in unexposed, but not in exposed areas. Optionally, a separating layer can be present between the photohardenable strata and a cover layer can be present over the second stratum. Positive-working low relief images suitable for lithographic printing plates, printed circuit resists, and contact-speed lithographic films are obtained from the elements of this invention.
