Abstract: Method and apparatus for changing or maintaining the shape of a food product during freezing using a roller assembly containing at least two rollers forming a sinusoidal pathway in which the food product is submerged in a liquid cryogen as the shape-forming operation is completed.

Abstract: A pesticidal composition which includes a substituted 1,2,4-triazole compound and a pyrethroid insecticide is disclosed. The pesticidal composition is particularly effective against aphid pests.

Abstract: A friction welded part having a sealed flash trap is disclosed, along with a method for producing such parts. The friction welded parts have a hollow cylindrical part and a second part to which the hollow cylindrical part is friction welded. There is an internal flash trap in the region of the weld, and the hollow cylindrical part is pinched inwardly or a conical flange on the flash trap is deformed outwardly so as to seal the flash collecting portions of the flash trap from the hollow portion of the hollow cylindrical part remote from the weld. The method involves the conventional steps of rotating the parts with respect to each other under pressure, stopping the rotation, and exerting high pressure to form the weld. In accordance with the invention, the hollow cylindrical part in the region adjacent the flash trap is then forced inwardly or a flange on the flash trap is forced outwardly so as to effect the seal.

Abstract: A front wheel drive vehicle in which the suspension assemblies are mounted on the power unit to form a combined assembly including the steering assembly. The combined assembly is resiliently mounted by flexible mountings in the body so that vibrational forces from the power unit and the front wheels are attenuated in the combined assembly and the flexible mountings.

Abstract: A pesticidal composition comprising as essential ingredients N,N-di-(2,4-xylyliminomethyl)methylamine, commonly known as amitraz, and at least one of certain pesticidally active pyrethroid compounds.
