  • Publication number: 20090200789
    Abstract: An identification document which includes card specific information printed on the card in a first location at a relatively large scale which permits the information to be read without magnification and duplicates the card specific information at a second location on the card at a significantly smaller scale which requires magnification to clearly read the small scale information. The micro-printing of small scale card specific information, such as a person's date of birth on a driver's license, at a second location on the identification card allows the micro-printed text to be compared to the large scale text to determine if the large scale text has been altered.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 4255497
    Abstract: A ferritic stainless steel having improved impact properties contains between about 21% and about 30% chromium, up to about 5% molybdenum, up to about 6% nickel, between about 0.1% and about 0.4% niobium, between about 0.1% and about 0.75% aluminum, up to about 0.3% titanium, up to about 0.025% carbon, up to about 0.035% nitrogen, and the balance essentially iron and incidental impurities. The ferritic stainless steels of the present invention are particularly useful in welded structures because the weld metal displays superior impact properties.

  • Patent number: 4255213
    Abstract: A solar collector plate made of stainless steel or a metal having a nickel-flash coating is immersed in a molten dichromate salt bath at a temperature between about 375.degree. C. and about 500.degree. C. sufficiently long to provide a selective oxide coating which has a Figure of Merit of at least about 4. The oxide coating is continuous, has a microscopically nodular texture with the average nodule size being at least about 5000 A and displays a Figure of Merit of at least about 4.
