  • USE OF SURFACE-TREATED CARBON BLACKS IN AN ELASTOMER TO REDUCE COMPOUND HYSTERESIS AND TIRE ROLLING RESISTANCE AND IMPROVE WET TRACTION
    Publication number: 20130046064
    Abstract: A composition of a surface-treated-carbon-black and a functionalized polymer with functionalization along the polymer chain is disclosed, wherein the polymer represents a solution SBR including, but not limited to blends of the SBR (PBR4003) with BR, NR and EPDM, and the SBR polymer functionalization comprises polar, oxygen-containing functional groups, such that the compound exhibits reduced hysteresis and rolling resistance, improved wet traction with excellent abrasion resistance as would be used in passenger, truck and racing tires.

  • Method for repositioning warehouse shelving units
    Publication number: 20090148267
    Abstract: A warehouse palette rack repositioning assembly which can move a palette rack in its fully loaded state from one area of the warehouse to the other area of the warehouse. The warehouse pallet rack repositioning assembly can be installed onto a pallet rack by one workman. The assembly has a lifting unit and four wheeled skate units which provide the transportation means. The lifting unit is attached to the palette rack upright legs in the transverse direction, and a jack is used to actuate the lifting unit and lift the palette rack. The wheeled skate units are then installed underneath the palette rack uprights, with the pallet rack then being loaded onto the wheeled skate units for transportation.
