Abstract: A method of forming a colored and/or electrically conductive coating layer on a glass sheet by applying a paint containing an inorganic pigment and/or a metal powder together with a powdered glass frit and an organic liquid binder onto the glass sheet, by screen-printing for instance, so as to form a paint layer on the glass sheet surface, rendering the paint layer hard and untacky and thereafter firing the paint-applied glass sheet so as to melt the glass frit contained in the paint. The organic liquid binder comprises at least one acrylate which is selected from monofunctional acrylates and bifunctional acrylates and is polymerizable by radiation of ultraviolet rays. Hardening of the paint layer is accomplished by ultraviolet radiation of very short duration, and the polymerized acrylate can be completely burnt out at the firing step without leaving unburnt carbon which is detrimental to the coating layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel method for finishing fabrics of not only synthetic but also natural, e.g. cotton, fibers to be imparted with improved touch of softness, slipperiness and sliminess durable against laundering. The method is characterized by the use of a specific organopolysiloxane as the fabric-finishing agent. The organopolysiloxane is a linear diorganopolysiloxane having at least one amino-substituted hydrocarbon group such as an aminopropyl group as the pendant group and the molecular chain ends of the molecule are terminated with alkoxy groups such as methoxy and ethoxy groups.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for performing growth of compound thin films by alternately repeating separate surface reactions of the substances comprising the compound.

Abstract: Surface defects in a cured, molded thermoset fiberglass reinforced (FRP) part can be repaired by filling the defect or void with an excess of a thermosetting conductive repair material, applying pressure and heat sufficient to cure said material without substantial shrinkage of said material, removing the pressure, cooling and finishing said parts to the original surface contour.

Abstract: Potassium hydroxide or another alkaline potassium compound is used to adjust the pH of an aqueous color developing clay coating composition in the manufacture of color developing material for use in pressure-sensitive or similar copying systems. This reduces the decline in reactivity with time of such material and increases initial print intensity compared with conventional material in which the corresponding sodium compound is used for pH adjustment. Especially good results are obtained where the material being coated is a paper of high acidity such as results from rosin/alum sizing.

Abstract: A coated article and method for producing the coated article are described. The article is coated with a system which provides protection against oxidation and corrosion and which significantly reduces the substrate temperature. An MCrAlY layer is applied to the article to be protected and a columnar grain ceramic is applied by vapor deposition to the MCrAlY coated article. An alumina layer which exists between the MCrAly layer and the columnar ceramic layer provides for the adherence of the columnar layer to the MCrAlY layer.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of coated cemented carbide products is disclosed. A cemented carbide substrate is treated to form a metal carbide, nitride or carbonitride coating. The coated substrate is heat treated at a temperature close to or near the melting point of the binder metal of the cemented carbide to diffuse elements from the substrate into the coating. An intermediate (second) metal carbide, nitride or carbonitride coating is thereafter applied and the portion of the second is oxidized, nitrided or sulfided without detrimentally affecting the adherence of the second coating. Thereafter, a wear-resistant oxide (e.g., aluminum oxide) coating is applied to form the improved coated carbide product.

Abstract: A method of forming by CVD technique a layer of material with good uniformity and reproducibility on the surfaces of a plurality of substrates supported within the reaction chamber. The feature of the invention is that a gaseous mixture containing a reaction gas is supplied into the reaction chamber from the inlet of the reaction chamber and the auxiliary gas nozzle provided between the inlet and the exhaust in a predetermined control manner. Moreover, part of the gaseous mixture within the reaction chamber is sampled from the gas flow for the measurement of the concentration of the reaction gas, and from the measured results is determined the rate of gas supply from the auxiliary gas nozzle.

Abstract: A process for producing bituminous surfacing, bituminous surfacing produced y the process and hot plant mix for carrying out the process. To improve the resistance to fracture, the proposed bituminous surfacing contains metal fibers, for example steel fibers of finite length. These fibers can be admixed to the mix of solids mix and bituminous binder in the course of the preparation of the hot plant mix or in the course of laying the hot plant mix. Due to the compaction of the hot plant mix to form the bituminous surfacing, the metal fibres are bent and thus loop around the particles of the solids mix and/or form a network with one another to give a kind of random nonwoven fabric.
