Abstract: A primarily plastic cadaver container is molded in the form of caskets, coffins, sarcophagues, mummy shaped containers, etc., produced from primarily plastic and other materials. While all the plastic can be new virgin plastic in most instances it can, advantageously, be reclaimed plastic even chemically contaminated plastic except for some medically contaminated and/or radioactive plastic material. The containers may be clear or opaque and have various designs included and have see through windows making opening of the container containing a body unnecessary, and the containers can be made air tight such that neither air or gas enter or escape a container. Non porous glass sheets or glass matting is used as a liner in a sealed container with a further inner liner of plastic useable to protect the inner surface of the glass sheets or glass matting used thereon.

Abstract: It is desired to detect and to compensate position errors occurring during the manufacture of a web consisting of a multilayer non-woven fabric by means of a laying machine, in which a web consisting of a monolayer non-woven fabric is supplied to a conveyor belt transversely to the direction of travel of said belt and is laid onto said belt by a reciprocating motion to form a multilayer web. For that purpose, the measured value signal is analyzed by machine, preferably by a Fourier transformations for errors consisting of periodically occurring fluctuations of the signal amplitude and the velocity of the conveyor belt and/or the velocity at which the monolayer non-woven web is supplied and/or the width in which the monolayer non-woven web is supplied and/or the width in which the non-woven web is laid onto the delivering belt are automatically controlled to minimize the periodic fluctuations of the signal amplitude.

Abstract: A three-dimensional non-woven fabric with a thermally activated adhesive surface well suited for use as a facing fabric for covering a fibrous mat. The fabric comprises two adjoining fiber layers, namely an adhesive layer including bond-forming fibers fusible at a predetermined temperature and a facing layer of fibers having a considerably higher melting temperature than the bond-forming fibers. The fibers of both layers are mechanically engaged one with another and are arranged flat-wise in bundles interconnected at junctures by protuberant fiber packings disposed in a staggered relationship throughout the fabric. Bond-forming fibers are concentrated in the apex portions of the fiber packings to form the thermally activated adhesive surface. The invention also extends to a process for manufacturing the three-dimensional non-woven fabric, based on the so-called "rosebud" technique for producing foraminous webs.

Abstract: The method according to the invention enables thin metal parts (10), in particular metal foil, to be produced from a reactive metal by means of hot forming. The reactive metal is embedded in a capsule (11), which consists of a second, plastically deformable metal, and release agents consisting of powder particles. The parting agents between the capsule wall and the reactive metal are applied in at least two layers (12, 13), preferably as an aqueous dispersion. The powder particles (e.g. boron nitride) of a first layer (13) which is applied to the reactive metal form an essentially more compact packing than the powder particles (e.g. calcium fluoride) of a second layer (12). The release agent of the second layer is plastically deformable or fluid in a highly viscous manner during the hot forming process. The novel method is less expensive than known methods in which the parting agent is applied by a thermal spraying process.
