Abstract: A clamp assembly for bringing an RF sensor into electrical contact with an RF current carrier is provided herein. The clamp assembly (101) comprises a first wedge-shaped element (103), and a second wedge-shaped element (105) which is slidingly engaged with said first wedge-shaped element. Preferably, the clamp assembly also comprises a collar (113) within which the first and second wedge-shaped elements are disposed. The clamp assembly preferably further comprises a fastener (111), such as a screw, which adjoins the first and second elements, in which case the clamp assembly is adapted such that, as the screw is rotated in a first direction, at least one of the first and second elements expands against the collar and/or the RF current carrier.

Abstract: A cement formula including mono potassium phosphate, mono ammonium phosphate, magnesia, and fly ash exhibits rapid setting and high strength characteristics.

Abstract: A method of making a wood-based fireproof panel by combining fire-resistant chemicals with wood fibers in a dry process is provided.

Abstract: A method of, and compositions for, the making of a fire-resistant door core assembly. Doors produced from the door core assemblies. In the making of a door core assembly, an aqueous slurry containing gypsum cement and diatomaceous earth is prepared. The slurry may also include expanded mineral ore material and Portland cement. The slurry preliminarily hardens during a green cure stage.

Abstract: A divided light door which includes an integrated core panel and a lattice frame mounted in a frame-receiving opening provided in the core panel. The lattice frame includes inner frame pieces extending across each other and interlocked with each other. Veneer pieces covering the core panel and edge band strips form the faces of the door.

Abstract: A raised panel door wherein a support panel in the door has panel-simulating zones distributed over opposite faces. The support panel is made of a compacted, mineral-based, fire-retardant material, and special molding strips secure panel inserts in the panel-simulating zones to face overlays in the support panel.

Abstract: A door including an integrated panel core having an opening in the core for receiving a light-transmitting panel. Edge band stripes extend in covering relation over edges of the panel core. Core faces and margins of edge band strips are overlaid with veneer. Molding strips mounted at least partially in the opening support opposite side margins of the light-transmitting panel.

Abstract: A method of making a panel-style door which includes forming elongate channels in a core panel, with each channel extending in a rectangular course and encompassing a rectangular region. A veneer overlay is applied to cover these rectangular regions and the surfaces bottoming the channels which encompass the rectangular regions. Inlay strips are placed in the channels to cover margins of the veneer overlay so applied. Another veneer overlay is applied to cover remaining portions of the core panel and margins of the inlay strips.

Abstract: A raised panel-style door and method of making same are described. The structure includes a solid core having a planar veneer support surface regularly interrupted by channels extending in a rectangular course. The channels are inlaid with picture frames formed of decorative wood strips having marginal edges in the plane of the veneer support surface and being recessed therebetween. When overlaid with veneer, surface regions outside the picture frames are made to look like stiles and rails, while those inside are made to look like panels. The door may also have an internal fire-retardant layer.

Abstract: A raised panel door having a core panel extending within it and panel inserts lodged within the voids of a lattice structure presented on opposite sides of the door. Molding strips overlay and conceal regions where the inserts abut against expanses in the lattice structure defining the voids. A veneer overlay covers margins of the molding strips.
