Abstract: An herbicidal composition containing (a) an herbicidal chloroacetanilide component and (b) an herbicidal picolinic acid component provides synergistic control of selected broadleaf weeds.

Abstract: An injection press that has a hydraulic cylinder and a press piston located inside the hydraulic cylinder that is translatable within the cylinder. The press piston divides the hydraulic cylinder into engage and retract chambers. A pump and an auxiliary pressurization device are connected to the engage chamber. A transducer measures the pressure in the engage chamber. A controller receives signals from the transducer and operates the pump. The pump delivers hydraulic fluid to the engage chamber to pressurize and inject resin into a mold cavity through the piston. The controller discontinues operation of the pump when the pressure in the engage chamber reaches a specified cut-off level. The auxiliary pressurization device maintains pressure on the fluid in the engage chamber after the controller discontinues operation of the pump to provide back pressure on the injected resin. The auxiliary pressurization device may be an accumulator that is charged by the pump.

Abstract: An electric lamp comprises a lamp base and an envelope having a common axis, a support member having a fixing gap around the common axis, and an elastic shade of substantially conical shape. The shade has a first end portion inserted in the fixing gap and a second end portion remote from the lamp base. The diameter of the first end portion taken perpendicularly to said axis is smaller than the diameter of the second end portion, and the elastic shade is made of heat resistant plastic foil.

Abstract: A lamp with an inner capsule having lead wires comprises an outer envelope, a lamp base at the end of the outer envelope, a stem formed at the base in a location predetermined relative to the outer envelope of the lamp, and lead-out wires protruding out of the stem. The inner capsule has a pinch portion and lead-in wires protruding out of the inner capsule at least partially parallel to the central plane of the pinch portion. The lead-in wires and the lead-out wires constitute pairs of lead wires providing mechanical and electrical connection between the stem and the inner capsule. Each pair of lead wires comprises a substantially straight wire of a predetermined diameter and a spooled wire of a spooling core diameter being not smaller than said predetermined diameter, and the pairs are mounted by pushing the straight wire through the core of the spooled wire.

Abstract: The invention relates to crystalline forms I and II methyl-(S)-(+)-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,2.c]pyridine-5-yl)-acetate hydrochloride of the Formula (I) and hydrates thereof, a process for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. The new polymorphs according to the invention exhibit blood platelet aggregation inhibiting and antithrombotic effect.

Abstract: A method for programming axial movements and events for industrial controllers is disclosed. A user may use an input device to enter axial movements and events into an electronic computer system, and thereafter generate controller language or code. The language or code may be used to operate the controller.

Abstract: A missile has a body with a substantially circular nose opening therein, and a ceramic radome sized to cover the nose opening. A compliant metallic circular "T"-flexure element is disposed structurally between the radome and the body and is integral with the body. A niobium-containing washer is disposed between the radome and the "T"-flexure element. The "T"-flexure element includes an elongated compliant arm region and a cross bar region positioned adjacent the radome such that the niobium-containing washer is situated between a lower margin surface of the radome and an upper side of the crossbar region. A first brazed butt joint is formed between the lower margin surface of the radome and an upper surface of the niobium-containing washer, while a second brazed butt joint is formed between a lower surface of the niobium-containing washer and the crossbar region of the "T"-flexure element.

Abstract: A manually powered fish tape reel attachment apparatus which is used in combination with a conventional fish tape reel for pulling electrically insulted wires through a conduit. The apparatus comprises a frame member with a fixed handle at one end and a tubular member at the other end. An internal hub member is mounted in the middle of the frame member such that the fish tape reel will be fitted thereon and will be rotated by the internal hub member. The fish tape itself is fed through the tubular member. The frame member has a ratchet mechanism which is a ratchet type device attached to a gear mechanism which is attached to the internal hub around which the fish tape reel fits. The ratchet mechanism can be rotated and due to the ratcheting effect of the ratchet, can create excess pressure and force on the rotational motion. In an alternative embodiment, the hub member is mounted onto a crank axle which in turn is mounted on bearings attached to the frame member.

Abstract: Methods for and preforms for making fiber reinforced composites are disclosed. According to the invention, preforms which allow composites to be machined are provided. Also, preforms with a uniform debulking ratio are provided with non-uniform fiber placement. In addition, methods of forming composites have less material waste and allow more than one composite to be consolidated at one time.
