Abstract: A dewar includes an inner dewar and a dewar thermal shield. The dewar thermal shield has a thermal shield body formed of a layer of radiative insulation, an inner layer of fiberglass cloth overlying the layer of radiative insulation, a metallic screen overlying the inner layer, and an outer layer of fiberglass cloth overlying the metallic screen. The dewar thermal shield also has a thermal shield tail cap attached to the thermal shield body. The tail cap is formed of a layer of radiative insulation, a layer of fiberglass cloth overlying the layer of radiative insulation, a layer of thermal foil overlying the layer of fiberglass cloth, the thermal foil being formed of thermal conductors embedded in a film adhesive matrix with the thermal conductors extending to the body, and a top layer of fiberglass cloth overlying the layer of thermal foil.

Abstract: A coating film separating device includes a substrate holding device for holding a substrate, at least one side of which is covered with a coating film, a roller unit equipped with a roller and a device for pressing the roller against an end portion of the surface of the coating film, a roller unit driving device for moving the roller unit on the end portion of the surface of the coating film in the widthwise direction of the substrate, a guide device for enabling the roller unit to move along an end portion of the substrate, and a device for spraying pressurized fluid at the interface between the substrate and the coating film at the edge portion of the substrate along which the roller unit moves.

Abstract: There is provided a flexible bag with a removable coupon and the method and apparatus for the manufacture thereof. A labeling machine sequentially provides a coupon assembly comprising an adhesive portion and a coupon portion to bag stock which is inputted into the bag making machine. The bag stock is then cut to form individual bags having removable coupons thereon.

Abstract: The invention consists of applying thermoplastic adhesive in a molten state in the area where a strip of pile fabric is wound onto a plastic tube which is mounted over a rotating roller. The molten thermoplastic adhesive is applied by a nozzle connected to a reservoir where the thermoplastic adhesive is heated After application, the adhesive, the strip of pile fabric and the plastic tube are joined together, forming a structurally integral paint roller body.

Abstract: A portable device for applying pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape to surfaces including along the top edges of baseboards and the like. The tape applying device includes two generally cylindrical application rollers rotatably mounted on a roller frame in parallel spaced relationship, together with a tape hub adapted to receive a tape roll. The tape hub and the application rollers define portions of first or second paths for tape being unwound from the tape roll with the rear surface of the tape backing disposed partially around the periphery of the first or the second application roller and extending from that to the periphery of the other application roller.

Abstract: To make a laminated flexible bearing constituted by rigid reinforcing layers made of composite material alternating with layers of rubber or elastomer, each reinforcing layer is formed by winding a resin preimpregnated thread directly on the underlying layer of rubber or elastomer. Advantageously, the flexible bearing is made by alternating layers formed by winding a resin pre-impregnated thread and layers formed of non-vulcanized rubber or elastomer, after which the resin is polymerized and the rubber or elastomer is vulcanized simultaneously.
