Abstract: A method for displaying objects in a CAD system, and corresponding CAD system and computer program product. The method includes loading a graphic model with a plurality of model elements including edges and faces in a CAD system and receiving a selection of a display technique to be used on the graphic model. The method also includes classifying each model element as important or unimportant. The method also includes hiding a first subset of the unimportant model elements according to the selected display technique and adjusting the transparency of a second subset of the unimportant model elements according to the selected display technique, so that the important model elements are clearly visible with relation to the unimportant model elements. The method can produce a simplified graphic model that is displayed by the CAD system.

Abstract: New blends of fluorinated thermoplastic elastomers are disclosed that contain a two-phase composition including a continuous phase of a melt processible crystalline thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin and a dispersed phase of an amorphous crosslinked fluoroelastomer, and a dispersion-process-produced, non-fibrillating, non-melt-processible polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder. The PTFE copolymer is made up of recurring units of hexafluoropropylene, perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) wherein the alkyl group has 1-4 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof. The PTFE compounds uniformly with the two-phase composition without forming visible agglomerates. Poly(phenylene sulfide) powder can be added to the blend to increase melt flow characteristics. Additionally, an uncured fluoroelastomer can be incorporated into the blend to enhance its mechanical properties.

Abstract: A low smoke generating, high char forming, substantially nondripping flame resistant thermoplastic multi-block copolyester wherein the weight ratio of high melting point blocks to low melting point blocks is from about 8:1 to 1:4, and said copolyester has a melting point below about 175.degree. C., said copolyester composition containing a bromine containing flame retardant; antimony trioxide; a drip suppressant for the multi-block copolyester, 25-65 parts per 100 parts multi-block copolyester of 50-88% alumina trihydrate and 12-50% of a magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, and particulate magnesium hydroxide and, optionally, containing calcium carbonate and, preferably, containing a coupling agent having a hydrolyzable moiety containing titanium or silicon and an organophilic group.

Abstract: The compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, nitro or cyano; andR.sup.2 is .dbd.O, .dbd.S, H.sub.2, --SCH.sub.3, or an amino group; with the proviso that when R is chloro in 8-position, R.sup.2 must be other than oxygen or sulfur; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A solution process for the preparation of high molecular weight homopolymers of ethylene and copolymers of ethylene and C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 .alpha.-olefins is disclosed. The process involves feeding monomer, a particlar coordination catalyst and hydrocarbon solvent to a reactor, polymerizing the monomer at a temperature of 100.degree.-320.degree. C. and recovering the polymer. The catalyst is obtained by either (i) combining solutions of titanium tetrahalide/vanadium oxytrihalide and of organoaluminum compound at a temperature of less than 30.degree. C., heating the resulting admixture to a temperature of 150.degree.-300.degree. C. for a period of 5 seconds to 60 minutes and combining the thus heat-treated mixture with a solution of an organoaluminum compound or (ii) combining solutions of titanium tetrahalide and of organoaluminum compound at a temperature of less than 30.degree. C., heating the resultant admixture to a temperature of 150.degree.-300.degree. C.

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol based sizing solution containing a small amount of quaternary (e.g., dialkyldimethyl) ammonium salt or quaternary imidazolinium salt additives provide good operability during application and weaving and results in fabric having improved finishing performance.

Abstract: An improved warp size for filament yarn is provided consisting essentially of polyvinyl alcohol, urea, and mono- and di-saccharides, such as sucrose, which when applied to filament yarn from aqueous solution provides excellent abrasion resistance, low shedding, freedom from skinning, and outstanding ease of removal.

Abstract: An improved warp size for filament yarn is provided consisting essentially of polyvinyl alcohol, alkyl phenoxy (or cresoxy) ethoxyethyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride and a plasticizer such as glycerol or urea, which when applied to filament yarn from aqueous solution provides excellent weaving efficiency and ease of removal combined with low shedding in the loom.
