Abstract: A method of making a coated substrate which includes the steps of applying a layer of a coating composition, said coating composition comprising an alkenyl functional organopolysiloxane and a hydride functional organopolysiloxane, to the substrate, said substrate comprising a catalytically effective amount of a precious metal catalyst, and allowing the layer to cure, allows the use of a non-catalyzed coating bath having a very long useful life, while providing a highly reactive coating layer that may be rapidly cured at low temperature.

Abstract: A low profile, broadband includes an active conductive edge having a shape which approximates a quadratic curve. Two identical elements may be used in an opposed manner to form signals across their respective active edges, and two pairs of opposed identical elements may be used in quadrature for handling circularly polarized signals with a high degree of polarization purity. The quadratic curvature of the elements can provide sufficient space to co-locate a second, smaller antenna within the same volume and aperture as the larger antenna. Applications include combinations of a wide variety of current communications systems.

Abstract: A two stage pressure relief valve for releasing a fluid under pressure includes a body having a bore extending from an inlet and terminating in an outlet. A first chamber which communicates with the inlet and a second chamber which communicates with the first chamber and the outlet are provided and are dimensioned such that the cross sectional area of the second chamber is greater than that of the first chamber. An operator seat is disposed within the body and an operator is moveably disposed within the bore and engages the operator seat. The operator includes a blocking surface which blocks at least a portion of the flow of fluid. When the pressure of the fluid exceeds a threshold pressure, the operator is unseated whereby fluid flows at a first flow volume such that at least a portion of the fluid impinges the blocking surface causing the blocking surface to move within the second chamber whereby fluid flows at a second flow volume. The second flow volume being greater than the first flow volume.

Abstract: Non-volatile write-once memory, is used for storage of variable data. In an example embodiment, segmented flash memory is used, in which individual segments can be erased. At least two segments are used. When a segment is nearly full, or when the segment is corrupted, the latest values are written to a new segment. During initialization, all variables of interest are written into RAM with default values. The flash segment being used is read sequentially from oldest entry to newest entry, and values from flash memory are used to overwrite values (or pointers to values) in RAM. RAM then contains (or points to) the most recent value for every variable. When a new segment is written, the new segment is written using the values from RAM. The method provides for identification of the latest (current) value for each stored item of information, provides for adding new types of data and deleting old types of data, provides for action when a memory segment is full, and provides for recovery from power-failure.

Abstract: The combination of an aqueous silicone release emulsion selected from the group of aqueous silicone emulsions consisting of condensation curable and addition curable silicone emulsions with an aqueous polyurethane emulsion creates a mixed release emulsion that cures to a linerless release coating which is printable when applied to a substrate such as paper.

Abstract: An electromagnetic traction motor is used to impart a linear motion on a movable member. A contact plate is mounted to a slide of the movable member. The contact plate has a surface which is in mechanical contact with the electromagnetic traction motor which is preloaded against the surface of the contact plate. The electromagnetic traction motor has a center body part with a triangular shaped portion. The triangular shaped portion forms a bearing surface. Below the bearing surface a deformable structure is established. A deformation of the deformable structure is initiated by at least two electromagnetic coils, which are energized in an specific manner.

Abstract: Acetylenic maleates, fumarates and related derivative compounds are new compositions of matter having the formula:R.sub.1 O.sub.2 C--CH.dbd.CH--CO.sub.2 R.sub.2wherein R.sub.1 may be an organic moiety containing at least two carbon atoms triply bonded one to the other as:--C.tbd.C--and R.sub.2 may be hydrogen, an organic moiety, or R.sub.1 ; suitable for use as liquid injection molding inhibitors either singly or in combination with themselves or other liquid injection molding inhibitors when used for the process of liquid injection molding curable compositions enabling an increase in the size of articles manufactured therefrom, which new compositions of matter cure into the polymerizable or curable resins thereby creating new compositions of matter as cured resins from which said articles of manufacture are produced.
