Abstract: Hot gas filtration fabrics for bag filters can be made using fibers that include high silica fibers and at least one FR fiber. The fabrics can be made using these fibers by needling and/or water jet entanglement. The fabrics may be treated with binders with or without additives to enhance mechanical properties or to impart other characteristics such as gas adsorption. Certain non-woven fabrics made according to the invention have improved high temperatures filtration capabilities and mechanical properties.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for maintaining federated name context bindings in a name space is disclosed. A reference within a first name space of a first system is bound with a durable subscription to a second name space on a second system. The binding of the first reference to the second name space is administered with a graphical user interface. A durable subscription is established with the second system for the binding utilizing communication with the second system over a network. Notification of a change affecting the bindings from the second system is received and the reference is rebound in the first name space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plastic abrasion resistant protective sleeve for covering a radiator hose. The sleeve of the invention has an annularly corrugated external surface comprising a plurality of projections and troughs formed in said sleeve. The projections are substantially evenly distributed and have a substantially uniform size. The sleeve has a slit along its longitudinal axis which provides for easy application to or removal from the hose, and is made of plastic that is substantially unaffected by high temperatures. A method of using said protective sleeve for protecting a radiator hose from abrasion also is provided.

Abstract: Sulfur dioxide removal efficiency of a horizontal cross-flow gas liquid contactor is increased by decreasing the interfering spray density through employment of a minimum critical spray nozzle spacing which has the effect of reducing spray droplet collision and coalescence.

Abstract: A polymeric hose and method of making same are provided wherein such hose comprises an inner base tube, a reinforcing braid made of aramid yarn disposed concentrically around the base tube with the aramid yarn having great affinity for water, a cover tube disposed concentrically around the reinforcing braid, and a moisture-impervious tubular film disposed between the braid and cover tube with the film isolating the aramid yarn and resulting in a tubular zone between the braid and cover tube free of water moisture created bubbles.
