Abstract: The rotary machine of the invention includes a series of cylindrical chambers swept by pistons in hydraulic liquid admission-and-discharge cycles and alternately connected to high pressure openings and to low pressure openings during each revolution of the machine, wherein said machine it includes a pre-discharge opening disposed between the high pressure opening and the low pressure opening in that order relative to a direction of rotation of the machine, and wherein the pre-discharge opening is connected by a connecting duct to rotary support devices to cause hydraulic fluid to pass through the rotary support devices.

Abstract: Flameproofed compositions of matter include an organic synthetic resin and, as a flame retardant therefor, an effective flameproofing amount of specified nitrogenous/halometallic compounds, certain of which are per se novel.

Abstract: The invention relates to amine salts of phosphorous acid having a structure of the s-triazine, 1,2,4-triazole, benzimidazole, heptazine, pyrimidine, or piperazine type which may be combined with a polyhydroxylated compound as fireproofing agents for plastics, particularly polyamides and polyolefins, the process of fireproofing said plastics, and the resultant fireproofed plastics.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions with thermoreversible crosslinking resulting from the reaction of a divinyl ether having the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--O--R--O--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, R being aliphatic, armomatic or cycloaliphatic, with a copolymer resulting from the copolymerization of an olefin with an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and, optionally, an ester of an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, the proportion being 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of the divinyl ether to 99.9 to 95 percent by weight of the copolymer.

Abstract: A fire-resistant polycarbonate composition comprising a polycarbonate and for each one thousand parts by weight thereof from about 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a salt of the formula: ##STR1## in which R is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl radical or an aryl radical, unsubstituted or substituted aryl radical and M is an alkali metal selected from Li, Na, or K.

Abstract: Polycarbonate-based compositions the fire-resistance of which is improved with small but effective amounts of a urazole salt having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R and R' are the same or different and are hydrogen, an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms, phenyl, or halosubstituted phenyl, and M is an alkali metal, many of such fire-resistive polycarbonates being transparent, together with method for preparing such fire-resistive polycarbonates.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions with thermoreversible crosslinking resulting from the reaction of a divinyl ether having the formula CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH--O--R--O--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2, R being aliphatic, aromatic or cycloaliphatic, with a copolymer resulting from the copolymerization of an olefin with an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and, optionally, an ester of an ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, the proportion being 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of the divinyl ether to 99.9 to 95 percent by weight of the copolymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fire-resistant synthetic resin composition containing a polycarbonate, more specifically a bisphenol A derivative, a phosphorous fireproofing additive derived from phosphonic acid, and possibly other additives and/or fillers.The fireproofing additive is a Li, Na or K hemiester of a phosphonic acid derived from an aromatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon, or from a polynuclear aromatic compound, and is added at the rate of 0.01 to 0.4 weight % in relation to polycarbonate. This small amount of additive improves the fire-resistant properties of the polycarbonate, without affecting its mechanical properties.
