Abstract: A stud layout locker and associated method having a longitudinal beam. A tab end at one end of the longitudinal beam defines an upstanding tab and a pair of opposing slots sized to receivingly engage a stud web. A slot end at the opposing end of the longitudinal beam has a flange defining a portion of a slot. The tab and slot are sized so that the tab of a first stud layout locker is insertable into the slot of a second stud layout locker and so that the tab is substantially parallel and adjacent the flange.

Abstract: Apparatus and corresponding method contemplating electrical raceway technology. A first segment has opposing first sidewalls and a first partition between the first sidewalls. A second segment has opposing second sidewalls and a second partition between the second sidewalls. The second segment is operably connected to the first segment so that the segments are selectively movable in relation to each other. The first sidewalls overlap the respective second sidewalls, and the partitions overlap at all selected movable positions of the segments, to define separate compartments in the raceway.

Abstract: A new class of ductile iron is formed by the hot isostatic pressing of a ductile iron casting, followed by austempering of the ductile iron casting. Hot isostatic pressing can be carried out at a pressure in the range of 10,000 to 17,000 psi at a temperature above 1600.degree. F., and usually in the range of 1850.degree. F. to 2050.degree. F. Austempering of the material is carried out by heating to the austenitizing temperature (about 1500.degree. F. to 1800.degree. F.), maintaining the austenitizing temperature for a suitable time period, and rapidly cooling to an austempering temperature (about 400.degree. F. to 750.degree. F.) to form ausferrite within the sample.

Abstract: In a device for intermittent straightening of wire there are independent drives for wire feed and the straightening rotor. The speed of rotation (v.sub.2) of the straightening rotor varies essentially synchronously to the feed rate (v.sub.1) of the wire. To cut the wire (t.sub.4) the wire and rotor are stopped. According to the invention the direction of rotation of the rotor is reversed between successive working cycles.

Abstract: A multiple spot resistance welding machine for the welding of wire grids by direct current comprises several contact electrodes (4.1.1, 4.2.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, . . . ) contacting a respectively associated grid point from both sides. The switching arrangement for the simultaneous application of welding current to all contacted grid points exhibits, for each contact electrode pair (4.1.1/4.2.1, . . . , 4.1.5/4.2.5), a welding transformer. Juxtaposed welding electrode pairs are floating with respect to potential in accordance with this invention so that the sole transverse connection is constituted by the transverse wire (1). A separate contact electrode pair is provided for each grid point.

Abstract: Concentrates of N-substituted morpholines of the formula O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.2 NR'YR", wherein R' is a divalent organic radical of at least one to about 30 carbon atoms, Y ##STR1## or --NH.sup.3 --, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl radical of at least one carbon atom and R" is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical of at least 15 carbon atoms, are useful as additives for hydrocarbyl products. Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention include concentrates wherein Y is ##STR2## R' is 1,3-propylene and R" is a hydrocarbyl group of at least about forty carbon atoms. These concentrates have utility as, for example, additives for lubricant compositions.

Abstract: A bank depository which provides a depositor with a validated receipt ticket evidencing that a deposit has been made, employs an envelope, in which the deposit is placed prior to insertion in the depository, having an unvalidated receipt ticket removably affixed to it. An outer surface of the depository has an opening through which the deposit is made leading to an internal chamber for storage of deposits and a slotted rotatable cylinder disposed between the opening and chamber normally positioned to prevent a deposit from being made until the receipt ticket is placed within a validator by the depositor. The cylinder then rotates to align its slot with the chamber to receive the deposit and allow it to pass through the chamber. Means are provided to sense the passage of the deposit to the chamber and to cause the receipt ticket to be validated in response thereto.
