Abstract: A method of forming a door panel is accomplished by providing a plurality of spaced rollers. A first plastic facer is drawn beneath the rollers wherein the first facer is in the form of a continuous sheet having an upwardly facing surface. A second plastic facer is drawn beneath the rollers, and is in the form of a continuous sheet and at least a portion of the second facer is spaced above the first spacer. A pair of rails are positioned on opposed sides of the first facer and drawn beneath the rollers. A foam material is deposited on the upwardly facing surface prior to drawing the first facer beneath the rollers. The foam material expands and hardens to adhere together the first facer, second facer and rails into a continuous length of assembled panel.

Abstract: A sectional door (20) having a plurality of panels (21, 22, 23, 24) including, a body portion (25) of the panels spacing and joining longitudinal edges (40, 50), one of the edges (40) between adjacent panels on a first panel having a substantially concave curvilinear surface (45) in vertical cross-section, the other of the edges (50) between adjacent panels on a second panel having a substantially planar surface (52) in vertical cross-section, longitudinally-spaced hinges (65) interconnecting the first and second panels for pivotal movement.

Abstract: Pentanitrotoluene is prepared by a method which comprises preparing an amdinitrotoluene from a precursor of either TNT or 2,5-dinitro-3-methylbenzoic acid, nitrating the aminodinitrotoluene to produce a nitramine intermediate, converting the nitramine intermediate to an aminotetranitrotoluene and oxidizing the aminotetranitrotoluene with peroxydisulfuric acid to pentanitrotoluene. Pentanitrotoluene is an explosive.

Abstract: Aminopolynitrotoluenes, having energetic properties, including 4-amino-2,,6-tetranitrotoluene 3-amino-2,4,5,6-tetranitrotoluene and 2-amino-3,4,5,6-tetranitrotoluene, and methods for their preparation. Also, 4-amino-N,2,3,6-tetranitrotoluene and 4-amino-N-2,3,5,6-pentanitrotoluene, each having energetic properties. Further, a process for preparing 2,3,4,5,6-pentanitrotoluene.
