Abstract: An alignment device for aligning a second aperture in a second plate with a first aperture in a first plate and an alignment method of utilizing the same. The alignment device includes a main body, a first part extending from the main body, and a second part extending from the first part. The main body comprises a first linear dimension exceeding a width of the second aperture for disposing overlying the second plate. The first part comprises a second linear dimension for extending and fitting into the second aperture. The second part comprises a third linear dimension for extending and fitting into the first aperture.

Abstract: A high carbon content and high strength heat-treated steel rail including by weight 0.80-1.20% carbon, 0.20-1.20% silicon, 0.20-1.60% manganese, 0.15-1.20% chromium, 0.01-0.20% vanadium, 0.002-0.050% titanium, less than or equal to 0.030% phosphorus, less than or equal to 0.030% sulfur, less than or equal to 0.010% aluminum, less than or equal to 0.0100% nitrogen, and iron. The steel rail has excellent wear resistance and plasticity and can satisfy the requirement for overloading. A method for producing the steal rail by heating a slab to a heating temperature, multi-pass rolling, and accelerated cooling, wherein a maximum heating temperature (° C.) of said slab is equal to 1,400 minus 100[% C], [% C] representing the carbon content (wt. %) of said slab multiplied by 100.

Abstract: A method comprises supplying a dopant gas in an arc chamber of an ion source. A dilutant is supplied to dilute the dopant gas. The dilutant comprises about 98.5 wt. % xenon and about 1.5 wt. % hydrogen. An ion beam is generated from the diluted dopant gas using the ion source.

Abstract: The present invention provides a roofing product comprised of an asphalt coating on a nonwoven fiberglass mat. Enhanced tear strength for the roofing product, generally an asphalt shingle, is obtained by the presence of a release agent. The release agent can be a coating on the fiberglass mat, an additive in the mat binder, or present as an additive in the asphalt itself. Preferably, the release agent is a reactive polysiloxane which can react with any component within the roofing product, including the glass surface, sizing chemicals, binder chemicals, as well as the asphalt coating. The reaction can take place either during or after the polysiloxane is added or applied.

Abstract: Non-steroidal androgen receptor modulating compounds of the general formula (I), their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, preparation process and pharmaceutically compositions containing the said compounds are disclosed. Such compounds of the general formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used for preparing non-steroidal medicines to treat and/or prevent conditions or diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, hirsutism, severe hormone-dependent alopecia or acne, etc. as a result of androgen receptor antagonistic activities.
