Abstract: An apparatus configured for treating sulfur at an elevated pressure. Embodiments of the apparatus comprises a vessel into which the sulfur is injected and a device for alleviating the pressure of the sulfur.

Abstract: In a system for manufacturing a part, a first forming station forms the part from a supply of material. A chemical processing system chemically alters a surface of the part. The chemical processing system includes a tank, parts rotator, circulation system, and control system. The tank includes a chemical side and a rinse side. The chemical side includes a chemical solution and the rinse side includes a sprayer to spray a rinse solution on the part. The parts rotator assembly moves relative to the tank. The circulation system circulates fluid in the tank. The control system receives signals from a sensor and modulate the system in response to the signals. Additionally, in the system, a finishing station applies a finish to the item.

Abstract: A process for treating sulfur at elevated pressures by which the sulfur may be separated from a process gas in a separation vessel, sent to one or more transfer vessels, and the transfer vessel(s) vented to depressurize the sulfur to near atmospheric pressure. The sulfur may subsequently be transferred to ambient storage or other desirable use. The sulfur exiting the separation vessel may also be transferred to an intermediate vessel. The rate of transfer of the sulfur throughout the process may be controlled by controlling the pressure differentials between the various vessels.

Abstract: Lube oils of improved properties contain ethylene-propylene copolymer bearing moieties derived from the reaction product of allyl glycidyl ether and a heterocyclic amine such as N-(3-aminopropyl) morpholine.

Abstract: The typewriter is equipped with the capability to check or verify the spelling of words as they are typed and the typewriter may also upon request from the operator provide candidate words from which the operator may select a word to replace a misspelled word. When a candidate word is selected, the typewriter electronic controls check the spelling of the misspelled word and delimit the zone which contains the erroneous characters. Only the characters that are within this bounded zone are erased from the page and the character which fit within the zone in the new or correctly spelled word are printed, eliminating the need to remove characters which are outside the zone and which are correct in the original word and will be correct in their position in the correctly spelled word.

Abstract: Fuel oils and lubricants of improved properties contain ethylene-propylene copolymers bearing units derived from N-vinyl pyrrolidone and phenothiazine.

Abstract: A gas laser having a segmented ceramic laser tube in which at least one thermally conducting, electrically insulating sleeve fits over the peripheral edges of segment interfaces. Coolant, such as tap water, passes in direct contact with the outer surface of the sleeve, but is excluded by the sleeve from corrosive contact with metal bonding at segment interfaces. A single sleeve may cover the entire length of the tube or each interface may be covered by a sleeve. A reservoir sleeve may fit over a portion of a gas reservoir, with coolant passing in direct contact with the outer surface of the reservoir sleeve. A cathode and anode at opposite ends of the tube sustain a gas discharge, while a resonant optical cavity aligned with the tube produces lasing action.

Abstract: A multi-function Viscosity Index Improver having properties, including dispersancy and antioxidation, which comprises a functional ethylene-propylene copolymer having a dispersant/antioxidant unit grafted thereon.

Abstract: A laser having a deflector in which bypass gas is separated from a cathode and the local discharge region around the cathode, and in which the bypass gas has a relatively long open passage around the deflector to the cathode. The deflector has an open end surrounding at least a portion of the cathode and an aperture and having an aperture and a raised shoulder connected to the end of a laser tube. The aperture is aligned with the discharge bore of the laser tube with gas bypass bores outside of the aperture enclosed by the shoulder. The anode end of the laser tube may also have a deflector which is an annular washer having an aperture and a raised shoulder. The washer has a diameter nearly as large as the anode in which it is mounted.

Abstract: A cathode assembly for a gas laser housing has weldless sleeves for securing a cathode to the laser housing. A support flange, brazed or heliarc welded to a gas reservoir at one end of a laser tube, supports a cathode. Ceramic feedthroughs brazed or heliarc welded to holes in the flange bring wires through the flange while maintaining insulation therefrom. The helical cathode is joined to copper stubs from the feedthroughs by crimped conductive sleeves.
