Abstract: An annular seal including a body defining a central lumen and a weakened portion disposed around the central lumen. In an embodiment, the weakened portion includes at least one aperture or a plurality of apertures. In a further embodiment, the apertures may be identical to one another. An annular seal including a body defining a central lumen bounded by a sidewall, wherein the body has a dual-elastic modulus profile including a first elastic modulus, S1, as measured along the sidewall prior to assembly with an inner component, and a second elastic modulus, S2, as measured along the sidewall after assembly with the inner component, and wherein the first elastic modulus is less than the second elastic modulus.

Abstract: An abrasive article including a body including abrasive particles contained within a bond material, a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface extending between the first major surface and second major surface, and a coating overlying at least a portion of one of the first major surface or the second major surface. In an embodiment, the coating comprises at least one element selected from the group of chromium, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, tungsten, sulfur, molybdenum, iron, zinc, silicon, titanium, aluminum, zirconium, magnesium, zinc, boron, cobalt, calcium, or any combination thereof. In another embodiment, the coating comprises a cermet, a ceramic, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polymer bladder assuring the internal sealing of a tank vis-à-vis a pressurized fluid which is contained therein, wherein said polymer is a thermosetting polymer, and said method comprises at least one step of polymerizing at least two precursor compounds of said thermosetting polymer carried out in a mould in rotation. A tank for storing a pressurized fluid for example a type IV tank comprising said polymer bladder.

Abstract: An abrasive cutting tool includes a body in a shape of a large diameter disk having an outer diameter of at least about 60 centimeters. The body has an aspect ratio defined as a ratio (D:T) between the outer diameter to an axial thickness of the body of at least about 10:1. The body includes an abrasive portion having a bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The abrasive portion also includes a first filler having iron and sulfur with an average particle size of not greater than about 40 microns. The body also includes a reinforcing member and a Thermal Adhesion Factor (TAF) of at least about 30%.
