Abstract: A holesaw system comprises a holesaw including a base and a generally cylindrical wall with a proximal end coupled to the base and a distal end with a cutting edge; a pilot drill bit including a front cutting tip, a rear shank portion, and an intermediate portion between the front cutting tip and the rear shank portion; and an arbor coupleable to the holesaw and to the pilot drill bit. The arbor is configured to be operable in a first mode in which the holesaw and the pilot drill bit are rotatable in unison to form a hole in a workpiece and in a second mode in which the pilot drill bit is rotatable independently of the holesaw to remove a plug of material from the holesaw.

Abstract: Aluminum-containing metal sheets can be electrochemically grained to provide a center line average roughness (Ra) of less than 0.60 ?m and an average maximum pit depth (Rv) of less than 4.5 ?m using a current density of at least 50 A/dm2 and a charge density less than or equal to 850 coulombs/dm2. This improved metal sheet can be used as substrates for imageable elements including lithographic printing plates that exhibit reduced blanket toning.

Abstract: A dual-mode oven (40) which is capable of being used in a rotisserie mode or in a convection mode, the oven comprising heater means (8) and fan means (7), the heater means and the fan means being located at the top of the oven cavity (43), in use, the fan means forces air across the heater means and into the cooking space through adjustable heated air outlets (46). In a rotisserie mode the heated air outlets are inwardly directed towards food to be cooked, and in a convection mode the heated air outlets are outwardly directed so as to distribute heated air evenly throughout the cooking space.

Abstract: Imageable elements, useful as on press developable lithographic printing plate precursors, are disclosed. The elements comprise an imageable layer over a substrate and an one or more adhesion promoting ingredients. The imageable layer comprises a polymerizable compound and a polymeric binder. The adhesion promoting ingredients are titanium chelate and/or co-polymers of a monomer having a polethylene oxide side chain with a monomer having either an acidic group or an anhydride group that has been ring opened to form an acidic group or groups.

Abstract: Substrates for lithographic printing plate precursors and lithographic printing plate precursors are disclosed. The substrates comprise an aluminum or aluminum alloy support and the a layer of interlayer material on the support. The interlayer material is a co-polymer that comprise (1) acid groups and/or phosphonic acid groups, and (2) silyl groups substituted with three alkoxy and/or phenoxy groups. The lithographic printing plate precursors additionally comprise an imageable layer over the interlayer.

Abstract: Fabric treatment compositions comprising a textile compatible carrier and particles having a layered structure comprising oxygen atoms and silicon and/or phosphorus atoms and comprising organic functional groups which are bonded to silicon and/or phosphorus atoms by direct covalent bonds between the silicon and/or phosphorus atoms and a carbon atom. The functional groups are selected to impart lubricating properties to the particles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition which comprises a self-crosslinking polymer possessing pendant azetidinium groups. A first aspect of the invention comprises an azetidinium functionalised polymer containing primary or secondary amine groups. Cross-linking reactions between the azetidinium group and primary or secondary amine groups does not form quaternary groups and consequently does not result in a charged, cross-linked polymer. This lack of charge is believed to overcome the problems of stain fixing and dye adsorption. A second aspect of the present invention subsists in a azetidinium functionalized polymer of which the monomers comprise: an amino-acrylate and/or amino-alkacrylate monomer, and, optionally, further non-amino acrylate and/or alkacrylate monomer.
