Abstract: Represented and described are a method for the manufacture of a reclosable pouring element and a pouring element manufactured in accordance therewith, whereby the pouring element features a basic body (1) and a closure cover (2), and whereby the closure cover (2) is connected in jointed fashion to the basic body by means of two bearing pivots (4).

Abstract: A roller skate has a base, a plurality of tandem frames, a like plurality of axles, and a like plurality of wheels. Each frame is affixed to the base and has bilateral, spaced apart, opposing side walls that define a wheel well. Adjacent side walls of the frames are interconnected to form unitary opposing structures. The side walls of one of the frames is angularly related to the side walls of at least one of the other frames. Each axle is carried in a wheel well by the side walls of one of the frames. Each wheel is disposed within one of the wheel wells and mounted for rotation on the axle in the wheel well. The wheel wells are either equally or unequally spaced. The roller skate may further include an article of footwear, such as a shoe or a boot, to which the base is either affixed or integral. Additionally, at least one brace may interconnect the opposing walls of at least one frame.

Abstract: A sprayable coating composition that contains at least one soluble film-forming silicon-containing compound having, on average, more than one fuctionalized silicon group, a volatile organic carrier, a polymer microparticle component, and a catalyst; a substrate coated with the composition; a process for coating the substrate to provide a protective finish; the finish-protected substrate; certain oligomeric compounds and a process therefor.

Abstract: A molded plastic lid adapted to generally close off the upper open end of a container and adapted to enable separation of entrained particles from a stream of air for collection of the particles in the container. The lid is formed with circumferentially extending inlet and outlet chambers opening downwardly into the container and having inlet and outlet openings, respectively, for receiving and discharging the air stream. The inlet chamber is formed with an upper surface which slopes downwardly upon progressing from the inlet opening to cause the air entering the container to flow in a curved and downwardly inclined direction so as to establish a cyclonic action in the container for separation of the particles. The outlet chamber is formed with an upper surface which slopes upwardly upon progressing toward the outlet opening to cause the air exiting the container to flow in the same generally curved direction but at an upwardly inclined angle.

Abstract: A high lift dump truck having a chassis on a truck, and a body portion having a tailgate being positioned on the chassis and being supported in a lowered position. A front hoist having a first end pivotably mounted at a generally central location on the chassis. The front hoist has a second end pivotably mounted on the body and the front hoist is positioned to raise the body to a maximum front elevation above the chassis. A rear hoist has a first end pivotably mounted at a generally rear location on the chassis and a rear hoist has a second end pivotably mounted on the body generally near the tailgate end of the body. The rear hoist is positioned to raise the body to a maximum rear elevation above the chassis. A control link has a first end pivotably mounted on the chassis adjacent the rear location and has a second end mounted on the body at a generally central location, whereby the link defines a locus of movement of the second end when the body is raised.

Abstract: A plurality of skewed slots of a particular shape are provided within a compressor casing adjacent at least one stage of compressor blade tips, the slots having an axial length greater than that of the adjacent blade tips. The slots are provided such that upon occurrence of compressor surge or stall, the stagnating air occurring about the blade row may be directed by the slots downstream of the compressor blade row back into the main stream of fluid passing through the compressor. By such an arrangement, the slots provide a compressor in which the air flow and pressure ratio may be increased before reaching compressor stall or surge.

Abstract: A new octapeptide having profound angiotensin antagonist properties has been found. The new compound resembles angiotensin II except for the two terminal amino acids, carrying unnatural amino acids at the N-terminus, and at the C-terminus.
