Abstract: Single ply wallcovering comprise a fabric comprising hydroentangled polymeric microfilaments. The fabric has a tear strength of at least about 25 MD and at least about 25 CD as determined by ASTM D 751, method A, and the fabric additionally has a breaking strength of at least about 50 MD and at least about 55 CD as determined by ASTM D 751, Grab method. The wallcovering comprises a decorative image, a fire retardant and a stain resistance treatment. The wallcovering has a basis weight of from about 4 to about 22 oz/yd2. Methods for making the wallcovering are also described.

Abstract: A method of managing an incremental implementation flow (incremental flow) for a circuit design can include storing dependency management data for the incremental flow for the circuit design and, from a first application, invoking at least one plug-in software component configured to access the dependency management data for the circuit design. The method further can include identifying partitions of the circuit design that must be run during the incremental flow using the plug-in software component.

Abstract: A soft cover for a vehicle is provided comprising a foam composite having a water resistant top layer, a flexible foam layer, and a protective bottom layer. The composite is flexible, dimensionally stable and tear resistant. Methods of manufacture and of use of the soft cover are also provided.

Abstract: An arm assembly for supporting a surgical lighthead of a surgical light apparatus. The arm assembly includes a first arm and a second arm pivotally coupled to the first arm about a main pivot axis. A rod extends within an interior region of the second arm. A link is coupled to the rod to the first arm for pivoting movement about a link pivot axis that is spaced apart from the main pivot axis. A spring extends within the interior region of the second arm. The spring exerts a force on the rod and the link to counterbalance the surgical lighthead. A space filler includes an outer cover coupled to the first arm and formed to include a first slot and an inner cover nested within the outer cover and formed to include a second slot.

Abstract: The invention provides a stratiform press sheet useful in laminating three-dimensional flexible printed circuits on a flat bed press, the sheet having a median conformable layer comprising a polymeric thermoplastic film; a polymeric release layer; a stabilizing layer made of a sheet of metal foil; and adhesive means to bond the above components in a single, stratiform sheet. The metal foil is functional at both the conventional lower laminating temperatures and the higher temperatures approaching 600 degrees F., and accordingly by careful selection of the other components it is possible to provide unified stratiform press pad sheets accommodating a wide range of laminating temperatures.

Abstract: A sealed, pressure-equalizing lubrication system for a rotary rock bit is shown. The system includes a lubricant-filled container having an outlet and a portion of the container includes a flexible diaphragm. The container is mounted in a chamber in the journal axle portion of the bit, immediately adjacent and open to the sealed bearing cavity of the bit cutter, with the outlet disposed adjacent the cavity. A bleed hole is provided from the back face of the bit to the chamber adjacent the diaphragm causing the diaphragm to be responsive to the pressure of the external downhole fluid. The adjacency of the reservoir to the sealed bearing cavity permits the pressure of the lubricant adjacent the seal to be immediately responsive to the pressure of the downhole fluid at the diaphragm to prevent pressure differentials between the lubricant and the fluid at the seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to radiopharmaceuticals useful for specifically localizing blood clots during the diagnosis and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a method for preparing and using radioactive urokinase. A novel process for producing urokinase labeled with technetium-99m involves combination of urokinase with the nuclide in a basic solution containing ferric chloride and ascorbic acid, and then adjusting the pH to give an acidic condition in the solution. Radioactively-labeled streptokinase and fibrinokinase are also used to localize thromboembolic disorders.
