Abstract: The present invention discloses a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, alarm, transmitter and cutout switch system. The device is designed to sound an alarm and transmit electronic signals to cutout switches causing interruption in electrical and/or gas supply.

Abstract: Method for producing a large, substantially hot tear-free superalloy gas turbine bucket useful in a large, land-based utility gas turbine engine, wherein a melt of a superalloy consisting essentially of, by weight: 13.7 to 14.3 percent chromium,  9.0 to 10.0 percent cobalt, 4.8 to 5.2 percent titanium, 2.8 to 3.2 percent aluminum, 2.8 to 4.3 percent tungsten, 1.0 to 1.5 percent molybdenum, 0.005 to 0.02  percent boron,   0 to 0.03 percent zirconium, 0.08 to 0.15 percent carbon, and 2.0 to 3.0 percent tantalum, or 1.0 to 1.5 percent columbium, or 2.0 to 2.5 percent hafnium, or 1.5 to 3.5 percent of a mixture of containing at least two of tantalum, columbium and hafnium, balance substantially nickel, is cast to produce said large gas turbine bucket.

Abstract: The localized pitting tendency of castable nickel-base superalloys in a high-temperature corrosive environment is suppressed without loss of desirable hot corrosion resistance, mechanical properties or microstructural stability characteristics by displacement of molybdenum and tungsten in the carbide phase to the matrix through the addition to the alloy of a comparatively small amount of tantalum, columbium or hafnium.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to deposit aluminum and a metal oxide on substrates for improved corrosion, oxidation, and erosion protection. Low temperature chemical vapor deposition is used. A homogeneous biphase coating may be deposited, as well as layers of aluminum and metal oxides.

Abstract: An overprint aqueous varnish has improved properties by having incorporated therein a small amount of an aqueous mixture of a finely divided hydrocarbon and certain high molecular weight oxyalkylated primary alcohols.

Abstract: Cobalt-base superalloys having special utility in the production of industrial gas turbine hot gas path components because of their unique combination of properties in specially heat-treated condition including excellent hot corrosion resistance, stress-rupture strength at high temperature, metallurgical stability, tensile ductility and weldability, consist essentially of 0.3 to 0.6% carbon, 27-35% chromium, 9-16% nickel, 6-9% tungsten, 0.45 to 2.0% tantalum, up to 3.0% hafnium, up to 0.7% zirconium, not more than 2.0% iron, 1.5% manganese and silicon and 0.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion useful in formulating water-based printing inks is provided. The dispersion contains water, an alkoxylated primary linear polymeric alcohol dispersant and a finely divided mostly linear aliphatic hydrocarbon having a molecular weight of about 300-3,000 and/or a finely divided chemically modified mostly linear aliphatic hydrocarbon having a molecular weight of about 300-3,000.

Abstract: An indicator which is attached to the steering wheel of a vehicle and which has a boat indicia and a front wheel position indicator that rotate with the steering wheel and which has a gravity weighted disk-shape member upon which a towing vehicle is indicated as well as a roadway and which remains in the vertical position as the wheel is rotated so that a position of the vehicle and the trailer can be continuously observed.

Abstract: A high temperature-resistant nickel-base alloy adapted for use in turbine nozzle components contains carefully balanced amounts of aluminum and titanium to render the alloy repair weldable. The levels of carbon and zirconium are also carefully controlled to improve the castability of the alloy so that large turbine components may be cast without hot tearing or microshrinkage.

Abstract: This invention relates to a beeswax substitute which comprises a blend of:(1) an ester of a linear alcohol having at least about 14 carbons and a carboxylic acid or anhydride having at least 2 carbons(2) an oxidized wax having at least 22 carbons, an(3) preferably, a fatty acid having at least about 9 carbons;and to products formed therefrom such as cosmetic emulsions, etc.

Abstract: This invention relates to a one step process of oxidizing a natural or synthetic non-benzenoid hydrocarbon wax in the presence of a metal oxide or hydroxide, such as potassium, sodium or lithium oxide or hydroxide, and to the product formed by such oxidation.

Abstract: The improved circuit composite of the present invention is of the thick film type, but is readily solderable, weldable and bondable to wire without oxidizing. The composite comprises a refractory substrate such as alumina, beryllia or zirconia, a thick printed film pattern of oxidizable electrically conductive metal such as copper, nickel, or silver bonded to the substrate, and a thin electroplated film of non-oxidizable electrically conductive metal, such as gold or platinum, enclosing and adhering to the thick film pattern. The then-electroplated film allows wires and contacts to be soldered, welded or bonded to the pattern, as by ultrasonic or thermocompression bonding, without degrading the quality of the contact area and while permitting removal and subsequent reattachment of such wires and contacts. The method is simple, inexpensive and efficient. It calls for forming the thick film on the substrate and then electroplating the thin film thereover.
