Abstract: A quantum of liquid adhesive is encapsulated in an ampule-like frangible capsule. An instrumentality is provided by which the adhesive-containing capsule may be temporarily secured on one surface of two objects which are to be adhered together in a surface-to-surface manner. For instance, a foraminous paper band is looped around the capsule and thumbtacked to one of the objects. Several similar adhesive-containing capsules may be similarly temporarily secured on one or the other of the objects, these capsules being distributed in a pattern calculated to cause sufficient adhesion of the two surfaces upon application of the adhesive thereto. Then the two objects are placed in surface-to-surface, confronting relationship and one of the objects is pressed toward the other, for instance by tapping its accessible side with a hammer everywhere that there is an adhesive-containing capsule disposed on the now inaccessible side.

Abstract: A dark-colored undercoating is deposited on a desired surface area of a glass workpiece, and a light-colored overcoating is applied upon the undercoating, each coating being dried in less than about 60 seconds. Then a plurality of related marks is recessed through the overcoating by ablation, as with a laser beam. Each of the undercoating and the overcoating is comprised of pigment particles and an alkali silicate binder. Unlike the prior practice, the undercoating contains an operative proportion of mica particles, and the overcoating is essentially free from mica.

Abstract: An identification card protected against external chemical influences of the environment, having blocking layers in its outer areas to prevent plasticizers and other chemical substances which reduce stability and durability from penetrating inside the card. The blocking layers consisting of PETP (polyethylene terephtalate), PE (polyethylene), paper or other chemically resistant materials are located on the surface of the card, preferably in compound films with the construction PVC/blocking layer/PVC, between which the card core bearing the personalization data is laminated in. Thus partial embeddings such as signature stripes, magnetic stripes, photos, etc. can also be provided in the surface layer, the inner PVC layers of the card still being optimally protected by the blocking layers against the negative consequences of the influence of plasticizers, such as fatigue fracture and bending tears.

Abstract: A method for producing T-section integrally stiffened reinforced panels formed of parallel stringers or stiffeners having a T-section, formed of fiber reinforced resin, co-cured to a skin component to be reinforced, also formed of fiber reinforced resin, comprises first forming a rubber-like, e.g., silicone rubber, form block containing T-shaped grooves corresponding to the T-section stiffeners. Lay-ups in the form of fiber reinforced partially cured thermosetting resin T-shaped stiffeners are then forced into the grooves of the rubber-like form block in spaced parallel relation therein, and the center of the T-section stiffeners between the flanges thereof is filled with unidirectional tape comprised of fiber reinforced partially cured thermosetting resin. An outer skin formed of fiber reinforced partially cured thermosetting resin fabric is then placed over the rubber-like form block and the T-section stiffeners therein.

Abstract: A method of forming perforations in composite laminates by impregnating the material with a modified epoxy resin by means of hot melt or solvent methods. The resin is then allowed to dry. The epoxy impregnated material is then warmed to around 165.degree. F. and forced by a resilient pressure pad over a tool having a plurality of upstanding studs or pins. While in position on the pin tool, the laminate is then partially cured by combined heat and pressure to minimize resin flow while retaining the ability to be formed to a final contour in a contoured curing fixture after removal from the pin tool. Controlled partial cure and selected low flow resin systems prevent resin flow into the formed apertures formed by the pin tool during final resin cure.
