Abstract: An adhesive solid emulsion, containing both high and low epoxy equivalent weight epoxy solids, a curing agent and an optional emulsifying agent, in a carrier containing at least about 55 weight percent water is continuously coated on at least one side of a moving, porous, flexible sheet as discrete resin pattern areas, which resin coated sheet is heated to dry the adhesive emulsion to the B-stage.
Abstract: A soft substance gasket material preferably made of a metal reinforced fiber mat is impregnated with a silicone impregnating agent comprising a mixture of a polysiloxane having reactive hydrogen groups such as a polyhydrogen siloxane, an addition cross-linking polysiloxane such as a methyl vinyl siloxane, and cross-linking catalysts, preferably in the form of only one organic metal compound. In spite of having small quantities of addition cross-linking polysiloxane and cross-linking catalysts, the impregnated seals are not tacky after cross-linking, they are easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and they evidence improved functional characteristics such as improved resistance to hot media, temperature and aging when compared with seals impregnated with only one type of polysiloxane.

Abstract: An end portion of an elongate member of generally cylindrical form, such as an optical fiber, is placed in a predetermined position utilizing a substrate having a surface that is defined by a generatrix that is a straight line, e.g. a flat surface. A foil of flexible material is secured to the surface of the substrate and defines with the substrate a generally straight, elongate passageway that is parallel to the generatrix of the surface and has a first portion of substantially uniform cross-section adapted to receive an end of the elongate member in closely fitting relationship and also has a second portion that tapers towards the first portion. The end portion of the elongate member is inserted into the first portion of the passageway by way of the second portion thereof.

Abstract: A optical recording medium which comprises a substrate and a recording layer of at least two J-aggregates of dyes formed on the substrate is described. The dyes may be photochromic dyes or other types of dyes capable of forming the aggregates which have narrower absorption spectral ranges than original dyes. A plurality of information bits can be written in the recording layer by irradiation of one laser beam spot. The recording layer is formed by an LB film method or a method capable of fluidizing a dye solution in a direction horizontal to the substrate surface. A recording method using the medium is also described.

Abstract: Bending and torsional ductility of high tensile reinforcement steel wire or cord, especially for rubber products, such as tires, is improved by taking care that the steel compositions that are currently used for such application, have an extra low sulphur content, i.e. below 0.015%, preferably below 0.010%.
Abstract: Disclosed is a welded can having at least the inner face side of a weld seam covered with a composite film of a thermoplastic resin, wherein the thermoplastic resin composite film comprises (I) an innermost layer, located on the inner face side of the can, of a thermoplastic polyester having a molecularly oriented crystal and comprising a dibasic acid component content of at least 90 mole % of terephthalic acid and a diol component containing at least 90 mole % of ethylene glycol, said innermost layer (I) overlayer (II) a seam-contacting layer, located on the seam side, of a thermoplastic copolyester containing in the chain molecule a dibasic acid component containing 40 to 95 mole % of terephthalic acid and 0 to 40 mole % of isophthalic acid and a diol component containing ethylene glycol and butane diol in a total amount of 65 to 100 mole % at a molar ratio of from 5/95 and 80/20 or a blend of such copolyesters, and the composite film comprising the layers (I) and (II) has an elasticity modulus of 5 to 220
Abstract: There is disclosed a lithographic mask structure which comprises a masking material support film and an annular support substrate for supporting the masking material support film at the periphery, the masking material support film containing a fluorescent substance. Also disclosed is a lithographic process for exposing a photosensitive material to irradiation with a radiation beam through a masking material support film provided with a masking material pattern-wise.
Abstract: An information recording medium includes a substrate having first and second sides. A layer of photoresist is deposited on the first side of the substrate. This layer of photoresist has a selected thickness and defines an area of openings therein such that the first side of the substrate is exposed at the openings, the openings being distributed in a pattern indicative of selected stored information. A reflecting layer is deposited on the photoresist layer and on the first side of the substrate at the openings. Both the substrate and the layer of photoresist are adapted to transmit the reading beam such that a portion of the reading beam incident on the second side of the substrate is reflected out of the substrate by the reflecting layer, both in a first region comprising the openings and in a second region between the openings.

Abstract: A spray shield for a faceplate panel having a viewing widow and an integral peripheral panel sidewall which terminates in a seal land includes a gasket of a low durometer high temperature elastomer which envelopes the seal land for preventing pull-through of a spray coating. The shield and the gasket prevent the spray coating from being deposited on a predetermined portion of an interior sidewall portion of the panel and on the seal land. Since the gasket prevents pull-through of the spray coating, none of the spray coating is deposited on the exterior surface of the panel.
