Abstract: A composition and method for selectively increasing the resin flow and gel time of an epoxy resin that fills the capillary region between filaments in fiberglass yarns making up a woven fabric. The composition and method are used in the lamination of fiberglass reinforced composites such as copper clad laminates for circuit boards and reduces the occurrence of voids in the capillary region.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to molds for making packaging inserts having a pre-selected shape and a method of making the same. The shape of the mold is determined by first pre-selecting the shape of the packing insert. The shape of the packaging insert is dependent on the type of product that will be shipped. Once the shape of the packing insert is determined, the mold is then made by fabricating multiple parts, each part having a pre-selected shape. The shape of each part of the mold is determined such that when the mold is assembled, the mold forms a contiguous inner cavity having the shape (the inner cavity is the negative) of the pre-selected packaging insert. After the mold is assembled, beaded foam material is injected into the mold to form the packaging insert.

Abstract: 7.beta.- 2-(aminothiazolyl and thiadiazolyl)-2-oxyiminoacetamido!cephalosporin derivatives having a 3- N-(optionally substituted) aminopyridiniumthiomethyl! substituent have antibacterial activity and are of use in antibacterial therapy. Processes for the preparation of such cephalosporins plus intermediates for use in the preparation thereof, including N-(optionally substituted)amino-thiopyridones, are also described.

Abstract: A conform fabric comprised of a multi-ply fabric having an upper ply and a lower ply each woven of warp and weft yarns, with the plies secured together by weaving selected warp yarns of one of the plies with selected weft yarns of the other of the plies. Both the upper and lower plies are each woven in a crowfoot satin weave of such a density as to allow a bias stretch of at least 40%. The weave also provides that the upper ply and the lower ply present a weft face exposed side.

Abstract: Aqueous alkaline coating compositions for metal substrates comprising a water soluble salt of an acrylic polymer which contains carboxyl groups, a divalent metal ion, a volatile base and a defoamer. The acrylic polymer is present in the coating composition in an amount greater than about 0.25 gm/liter and less than about 5.0 gm/liter.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl, 4-hydroxy phenyl, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl, 3,4-diacetoxyphenyl or a 5- or 6- membered heterocyclic ring containing up to three heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen, optionally substituted with hydroxy, amino, halogen or C.sub.1-6 alkoxy; and R.sup.2 is a sub-group of formula (A):--NH--R.sup.3 (A)wherein R.sup.3 is an optionally substituted C.sub.1-10 alkyl or C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl group; or R.sup.2 is a sub-group of formula (B):--NH--CO--R.sup.4 (B)wherein R.sup.4 is an aryl group, an optionally substituted C.sub.1-10 alkyl group or a C.sub.1-6 alkyloxy group optionally substituted by an aryl group.

Abstract: The amount of organic, phosphorous containing grain refiners in phosphate conversion coating baths is determined by precipitating the grain refiners and determining the difference in the chemical oxygen demand of the bath before and after the precipitation.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the use as coupling agents or bonding agents for fibrous glass substrates of compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R at each occurrence is independently an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms,X is chlorine or bromine,R.sub.1 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or ##STR2## and Z is selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## WHERE R.sub.2 at each occurrence is independently hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms andP is an integer of 1 to 4, and ##STR4## WHERE M AND R ARE INTEGERS OF 1 TO 3,R.sub.2 has the meaning given above, andY is --S-- or --O--Laminates having excellent resistance to water exposure are obtained when glass substrates treated with the above coupling agents are impregnated with a thermosetting resin such as epoxy and polyester resins.
