  • Patent number: 4332694
    Abstract: The invention relates to three-dimensional carriers consisting of inorganic porous material and 0.001-95% of unextractably sorbed reactive polymer of the general formula I: ##STR1## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4 respectively are hydrogen atom, alkyl with 1-5 carbon atoms, or aryl, and R.sub.3 is the group --COO--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, and to a method for its preparation. The three-dimensional carriers may be prepared by coating the inorganic porous material with a monomer, which is left to polymerize under the conditions of solution polymerization, while the soluble polymer, which is not bound on the surface of the inorganic material, is removed by extraction.The three-dimensional carrier may also be prepared by depositing a solution of a polymer of general formula I and with a degree of polymerization lower than 10.sup.3 on the inorganic porous material, leaving the two materials in contact with each other, and separating the unbound polymer by extraction.

  • Patent number: 4329734
    Abstract: A photoflash lamp array comprising a housing elongated vertically and containing elongated flash lamps lying horizontally and stacked vertically, the flash lamps having lead-in wires extending from ends thereof near the sides of the housing and connected to a circuit board located behind the lamps. A conductive sheet-like shield is positioned between the circuit board in the rear of the housing and is contoured to have side portions extending forwardly in between lamp ends and the sides of the housing. The front surface of the shield is both electrically conductive and reflects light with electrically insulated flash indicator material being positioned on said front surface but not extending to the side portions thereof. By increasing the light reflective surface of said shield member in this manner there is increased light output obtained from said lamp array.

  • Patent number: 4328750
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lead bullet having a coating comprised of a thermoplastic composition of molybdenum disulfide and Nylon 11. Nylon 11 per se and other coatings are also disclosed. The coating minimizes or prevents deposition of lead along the barrel and other mechanisms of a firearm. To apply the coating, the bullet is initially degreased and heated to clean its surfaces. A phosphate coating is applied and the bullet is heated to a temperature of at least 425.degree. F. The heated bullet is then disposed in blended molybdenum disulfide and Nylon 11 powder, Nylon 11 per se, or other coating materials to obtain a coating thickness within a range of 1-12 mils. The coated bullet is subsequently heated to at least 367.degree. F. to fuse and to densify the coating on the bullet.
