Abstract: A sidewall attachment system for attaching decorative objects such as decorative flowers to a structure such as a tent to create a decorative display such as a flower wall. The sidewall attachment system generally includes a sidewall which is adapted to be removably secured to a structure such as a tent. The sidewall includes mounts and apertures for removably securing the upper end and sides, respectively, of the sidewall to the structure. The sidewall also includes a plurality of retainer strips adapted to removably engage with corresponding connector strips located on each of a plurality of panels adapted to be removably connected to the sidewall. Each of the panels includes a plurality of openings which function as grommets to retain any number of decorative attachments such as flowers to the panels to form a decorative display on the structure.

Abstract: A wafer alkaline cell of a laminar structure is disclosed. The cell has a pair of opposing sides comprising at least the majority of the boundary surface of said cell and defining a short cell dimension therebetween. The cell comprises an anode assembly and a cathode assembly bonded together to form a laminate structure. The cell comprises preferably two separate plastic frames housing the anode and cathode material. The anode current collector may be precoated with a sealing metal forming an alkaline resistant metal oxide film to improve bonding to the frame. The anode assembly has an anode material therein typically comprising zinc and the cathode assembly has a cathode material therein typically comprising manganese dioxide. The cell is durable and preferably rigid, has elongated leak block paths, and resists electrolyte leakage.

Abstract: A wafer alkaline cell of a laminar structure is disclosed. The cell comprises an anode assembly and a cathode assembly bonded together to form a laminate structure. There may be one and desirably two anode frames securing an anode current collector sheet sandwiched therebetween. There may be a cathode frame bonded to the anode frames. There is an anode current collector sheet within the anode assembly. There is a cathode current collector sheet, optionally with an attached metal mesh embedded within the cathode assembly to assure good electrical contact with the cathode. Alternatively, a cathode endplate with spring action is employed which can move in response to changes of volume or pressure within the cathode, thereby maintaining good contact. The anode current collector may be precoated with a sealing metal forming an alkaline resistant metal oxide film to improve bonding to the frame. The cell is durable and preferably rigid and resists electrolyte leakage.

Abstract: A knock-down support stand or trestle for use as a sawhorse on construction sites and for home use constructed of pre-cut or pre-formed components that are readily assembled together in interlocking engagement without need for use of fasteners of any kind. As the load on the support stand increases, the components of the support stand become more securely interlocked together.

Abstract: A process for reduction smelting of copper-, nickel- or cobalt-containing materials in which such a material, at least partly in oxidic form is heated or combusted in finely divided form in a neutral or oxidizing flame to provide superheated particles. The superheated particles are then distributed onto a thin layer of coke. The materials in the particles are reduced in the thin layer of coke to metals or mattes or, in the case of iron, to wustite which forms a discardable slag with flux. Reduced product and slag form separate molten layers underneath the thin coke layer. All heat necessary for reduction and melting of product and slag is provided directly by the flame both in sensible heat in the superheated particles and by radiation.

Abstract: A process for autogenously smelting copper sulfide ore concentrate directly to semi-blister copper in which a calcareous flux is charged directly to an autogenouse furnace along with concentrate and copper-containing coolant. Furnace products are semi-blister copper, calcareous slag and off-gas rich in sulfur dioxide.

Abstract: A process for autogenously smelting sulfidic copper material in the presence of a calcareous flux in which slag cleaning to provide metallic copper is employed. Such metallic copper provided by slag cleaning is usefully employed as a coolant in the autogenous smelting operation.

Abstract: Sponge titanium powder is compacted, advantageously by roll compaction to a density in the range of about 60% to 80% of the density of solid titanium metal, thereafter heat treated in vacuum at about 500.degree. C. to 750.degree. C., cooled in vacuum to 300.degree. C. and quenched to 100.degree. C. to provide a substrate for electrodes useful in electrolytic processes.

Abstract: This invention relates to self-leveling floor polish polymer compositions which may be formulated into floor polishes without requiring the use of additional leveling agents. These compositions are prepared by treating conventional floor polish emulsions or formulations with polyalkoxylated linear aliphatic alcohol as leveling agent.

Abstract: A compact collapsible support for animals formed by a set of hinged members which can be arranged to form a cradle that is maintained by the weight of the animal and is thereafter collapsed when the animal has been removed and the support is to be stored.

Abstract: A process for recovering metal values from sulfide ores or concentrates by a fluid bed roast-reduction smelting-converting process which delivers to the reduction smelting furnace either a blend of dead roasted concentrate and green concentrate or a partially roasted concentrate, either feed mixed with a carbonaceous reductant and silica flux, and either feed containing only sufficient sulfur to produce a matte, in which the iron is present as metallic iron, and which has a sulfur deficiency of about 0% to about 25% with respect to base metals, and which is later converted to a low iron matte by blowing and slagging the iron with silica flux.

Abstract: A veterinary composition in which the major ingredient is safflower oil. When fed to an animal, the composition provides an advantageous source of fatty acid to improve the condition of the animal. The palatability of the composition can be enhanced by the addition of a minority amount of oil of cloves, and also enhanced by the addition of a minority amount of cod liver oil.

Abstract: A cell for electrowinning metal from a sulfate electrolyte includes insoluble anodes and cathodes, each anode being housed in an anolyte compartment defined by a flaccid sheath of porous membrane and means within each sheath for separating the sheath from the surfaces of the anode contained therein.

Abstract: Use of a burner design featuring a tunnel of high length to diameter ratio enables the flash-smelting of sulfides to be carried out in a much more confined space than heretofore possible.

Abstract: A sulfide containing copper and one or more of iron, nickel and cobalt, is dead-roasted at a temperature of 750.degree. C or above, then subjected to a pressure leach under reducing conditions to produce elemental copper and an aqueous solution of the other metals.
