  • Patent number: 9242401
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of injection molding to form polymeric interlayers directly between two rigid substrates that are positioned so that after injection of the melted polymeric material and after cooling, the resulting multiple layer panel functions as a safety panel that can be used in any appropriate conventional safety glazing application. Methods of the present invention utilize a relatively low molecular weight polymer, multiple injection points, mold compression, and/or a heated substrate in order to facilitate the injection of polymer into the relatively narrow space between glazing substrates that is typically found in safety glazings.

  • Publication number: 20150183134
    Abstract: Method and device for preparing a paste by blending or mixing materials, in particular for making aluminum production electrodes. The method includes the following operations: a) introducing the materials to be blended or mixed into a vat (31) having an inner surface extending along a substantially horizontal axis of revolution (X), b) rotating the vat (31) about the axis of revolution (X) and urging the materials via centrifugation against the inner surface of the vat (31), and c) locally dislodging the centrifuged materials from the inner surface by rotating the vat (31) and causing same to fall onto a crumbling tool (40).
