Abstract: A brake lining of a disc brake device is disclosed, wherein the brake lining includes a carrier and a friction block. The carrier has a bearing portion, which has the friction block provided thereon, and a guide portion connected to an end of the bearing portion. A first virtual line passes through a free end of the guide portion and a junction between the guide portion and the bearing portion, and a second virtual line passes through two opposite points of the disc periphery, wherein an included angle formed therebetween is greater than 0. The smallest possible included angle in any embodiments is formed if the first virtual line passes through an end corner of the friction block. With such design, the disc would not be hindered by nor collide with the friction block during installation, which reduces the difficulty and time for installing or fixing the disc brake device.

Abstract: A system and apparatus for ensuring a proper bar code scan on a multi-package of containers includes overcoating bar codes on each respective container with a dye and applying a unitizing carrier to the containers. The containers may also be oriented so that a bar code on each container is not readable by a bar code scanner.

Abstract: Active oxygen scavenging compositions and their use in packaging articles are disclosed. The compositions are all plastic materials and are typically deployed as at least one layer in a multi-layered wall of a packaging article such as a bottle, can or film. The compositions are usually used in conjunction with added transition metal catalyst to enhance the uptake of oxygen. Use of the compositions and package constructions disclosed serves to lengthen the shelf life of packaged oxygen sensitive substances and/or diminish the need for refrigeration of the packages.

Abstract: A process for preparing condensation polymers comprises forming a dispersion of a reaction mixture in a continuous vapor phase, maintaining the dispersion while passing it through a reaction zone, heating the dispersion in the reaction zone to polymerize reactants in the reaction mixture and form a polycondensate.

Abstract: Novel crystalline polyamides having high heat deflection temperatures when filled are prepared from aliphatic diamines and either mixtures of terephthalic acid and adipic acid or mixtures of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and adipic acid. The mole ratio of aliphatic diamine to terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and adipic acid is in the range of about 100:65-95:25-0:35-5. The polyamides can be filled with about 10 to about 60 parts by weight of a filler. The mechanical properties of these polyamides are largely unaffected by absorbed water.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of polyamides, polyamide-imides and polyimides which process comprises preparing a salt of an aliphatic or aromatic diamine or a mixture of these and di, tri or tetracarboxylic acid or mixture of these or their corresponding anhydride by reacting both feedstocks at a temperature of about 300.degree. to 500.degree. F. in a solvent medium provided the water content of the resulting solution is below 25% water by weight the resulting salt solution is subjected to a pressure of about 1500-3000 psig and is then passed through a preheat zone where the temperature is increased to about 625.degree. F., the total residence time is kept at about 25 to about 50 seconds. The reactants are flashed through a control valve or nozzle to give an aerosol mist at a pressure of about 0-400 psig, the polymerization is further carried out in a flash reactor with a high heat flux and with wall temperatures of about 600.degree. F. to about 1000.degree. F. and melt temperatures of about 500.degree. F.
