Abstract: A metallic seal includes a cold formed substrate layer and one or more additional layers. At least one of the layers offers improved resistance to high temperature stress relaxation.

Abstract: It is disclosed a seal assembly (5) which comprises a layered structure. It consists of a first layer (9, 12) of a base material, a second layer (10) of thermal insulating material on top of the base material and a third layer (11, 12) of base materal or an oxide resistant material on top of the second layer (10) of thermal insulation. The inventive seal assembly (5) described herein can be arranged between combustor liner segments (2).

Abstract: The invention concerns ready-to-use glazing agents with the composition:5-25 wt. % of liquid vegetable oil;5-15 wt. % of casein or its salts;0.005-10 wt. % of emulsifier;0.1-8.0 wt. % of a compound giving a browning upon heating, preferably by a Maillard-type of reaction andbalance: water.The composition is sterilizable and has a shelf-life after sterilization of more than 3 months.

Abstract: A safety belt clamp apparatus including crossed arms operatively interconnected for scissor-like motion for grasping a beam. Connecting members pivotally attached to the end of the arms include openings for receiving a safety belt clip, so that pressure exerted on the clip away from the beam urges the clamp apparatus into tighter engagement with the beam. Additional rings are provided so that more than one person can be connected to a single clamp apparatus. In one embodiment of the invention, a diagonally extending brace and jaw assembly provides additional structure so that the clamp apparatus can be attached to a vertically extending beam.

Abstract: A conduit bending plane indicator comprising a base, a clamp for affixing the indicator to conduit to be bent, bubble level indicators to provide an indication that a bend in the conduit is coplanar with reference planes, and an angle indicator to provide an indication of the angle of bend of the conduit. The bubble levels are mounted at opposite ends of the base member orthogonally oriented to one another to insure level placement of the conduit in a conduit bending device. The angle indicator is pivotable and attachable to either side of the apparatus to facilitate ease of reading.
