  • Patent number: 10364183
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a shaped composite, comprising the preparation of a mixture into which fragments of mineral wool comprising a size comprising a sugar, a non-cement silica carrier distinct from the wool, a non-cement alkali metal carrier distinct from the wool, and water, are introduced, the non-cement silica carrier and the non-cement alkali metal carrier forming, with the water, a mineral binder which gradually solidifies around the solid particles present in the mixture, and then the shaping of the mixture into a shaped composite, in particular into briquettes. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of mineral wool, in which a molten mass is produced which is converted into mineral wool by means of a fiberizing device, the shaped composite being introduced as vitrifiable charge into a melting chamber, such as a cupola furnace.

  • Patent number: 10350522
    Abstract: Filter capsules for showers and sinks used in surgical settings, clean rooms and other contaminant-sensitive settings having modified outlets for improved splash control. Flat, concave, convex, asymmetric concave and asymmetric convex outlet inserts have pluralities of fluid bores with varying orientations to permit enhanced fluid flow control out of the filter capsules including divergent, convergent and mixed divergent/convergent fluid flows. An inlet with an axis offset at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the filter capsule body permits user control over the fluid flow strike point in a sink or shower stall via rotation of the capsule about the inlet connection point. A recessed outlet improves the prevention of contaminant dispersal by recessing the outlet away from contact points and potential contaminant sources.

  • Publication number: 20190210328
    Abstract: A viscoelastic plastic interlayer to be incorporated between two glass sheets of a glazing provides it with vibro-acoustic damping properties. The interlayer includes two outer layers made of standard PVB, first and second inner layers made of viscoelastic plastic material based on polyvinyl acetal and plasticizer, with improved acoustic properties, a central layer made of standard PVB, the first and the second inner layers being arranged, respectively, between the central layer and the first and second outer layers. The viscoelastic plastic interlayer, when incorporated between two glass sheets to form a laminated glazing with vibro-acoustic damping properties, allows an improvement in the acoustic insulation properties, in particular within a frequency range of between 1000 Hz and 5000 Hz, in which range the human ear is the most sensitive.
