  • Patent number: 6338840
    Abstract: In a first aspect, a process for forming deodorant or antiperspirant sticks by continuously forming a mobile composition for dispensing into containers or molds at a rate matched with the rate at which it is dispensed, and in other aspects a process in which a mobile deodorant or antiperspirant composition is dispensed by injection molding, i.e. a process in which the deodorant or antiperspirant composition is dispensed under pressure. The composition at the time of injection moulding is preferably either in the vicinity of its regular set temperature, particularly in the range of about 0-3° C. below the regular set temperature and/or partially structured at the time of its delivery it into a container or mold.

  • Patent number: 5509557
    Abstract: A method for depositing a conductive metal onto a dielectric substrate is provided. The method includes obtaining a metal sheet having a roughened surface that has the following parameters:R.sub.a =0.05-0.08 mil,R.sub.max =0.20-0.55 mil,S.sub.m =1.00-3.00 mil,R.sub.p =0.20-0.35 mil, andsurface area=0.90-1.20 square milswherein R.sub.a is the average roughness and the arithmetic mean of the departures from horizontal mean line profile;R.sub.max is the maximum peak-to-valley height;S.sub.m is the mean spacing between high spots at the mean line;R.sub.p is the maximum profile height from the mean line; andsurface area is the area under the surface profile from each measurement using a Talysurf S-120 profilometer;The sheet is laminated to the dielectric substrate surface by pressing the roughened surface of the metal sheet against the surface of the substrate and then removed from the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5268260
    Abstract: Simple, environmentally friendly developers and strippers are disclosed for free radical-initiated, addition polymerizable resists, cationically cured resists and solder masks and Vacrel photoresists. In all cases both the developers and the strippers include gamma butyrolactone, propylene carbonate and benzyl alcohol, optionally also including a minor amount of methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol monomethylacetate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, formamide, nitromethane, propylene oxide, or methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and water.

  • Patent number: 5251361
    Abstract: A device for releasably securing the free end of a belt to the body of the belt in the form of a unitary resilient spring clip adapted for fitting over the free end portion of the belt and a desired adjacent portion of the body of the belt and forcing such portions tightly together for releasably holding the free end portion of the belt from dangling, a flexible chain being secured at one end to the clip and having a second end engageable through a hole in the body of the belt for preventing loss of the clip if it falls off the belt, the chain having a small bar on its free end insertable endwise through the hole in the belt.

  • Patent number: 4729102
    Abstract: Disclosed is a combined flight data recorder data aquisition circuitry (10) and airborne integrated data circuitry (12) that can be variously packaged to supplement and update existing aircraft systems or serve as a standalone flight data recording and/or airborne integrated data system. The flight data recorder system circuitry (10) and airborne integrated data system circuitry (12) are separately programmed microprocessor based systems that are capable of processing aircraft parametric signals provided by a variety of aircraft signal sources. In the disclosed arrangement, the airborne integrated data system circuitry (12) is arranged and programmed to automatically monitor engine start and shutdown procedures, aircraft takeoff and cruise and to provide a landing report that indicates fuel consumption and landing weight.
