Abstract: A joint connects casing sections of a casing string for transporting fluids and/or gases. The joint includes a first longitudinal part arranged to be at least partly overlapping a second longitudinal part or a casing section. The first longitudinal part is connected with the second longitudinal part or with the casing sections in a mounted state with the first longitudinal part adapted to move axially relative to the second longitudinal part or the casing sections in an operative state. The joint includes at least one shear member with a predefined shear value and the shear member is adapted to shear when an axial force exceeding the total shear value of the shear member is exerted, allowing a relative axial movement between the first longitudinal part and the second longitudinal part or the casing sections.

Abstract: A building panel (1) including a water resistant core (5) including thermoplastic material 21 and a surface layer (4) including thermosetting resins. Also, production methods to form a board material (1?) with a dry blend of thermoplastic particles 21a in powder form and fillers in powder form and to apply a surface layer (4) with a hot-hot lamination process to a core (5) including such board material.

Abstract: An apparatus including a first dispensing device configured to supply a first material to a conveyor belt of the main conveyor device in response to control by the computer processor, and a second dispensing device configured to supply a second material on top of the first material, while the first material is on the conveyor belt to form a combination comprised of at least the first and second materials, in response to control by the computer processor. The combination may be compressed by a first compression device in response to control by the computer processor. The compressed combination may be stirred by a first stirring device in response to control by the computer processor to form a first modified combination. The first modified combination may be compressed by a second compression device in response to control by the computer processor to form a compressed first modified combination.

Abstract: A biodegradable component for a package for storing and dispensing a cosmetic product or a beauty care product is made from compressed fibrous biomass bound by a cosmetically compatible and compostable binder in a mold having a sidewall draft angle of 0 to 30 degrees.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a toothed belt (10) having a belt part (13) and a tooth part (14) sticking out of the belt part (13). This method of manufacturing includes a first step of forming a reinforcing-sheet (12) including a fiber sheet and a coating film formed on the fiber sheet by drying the fiber sheet on which an aqueous treatment agent containing a first rubber latex and a first vulcanizing agent is applied, and a second step of reinforcing a surface of the tooth part (14) with the reinforcing-sheet (12) by vulcanizing the first rubber and a second rubber at the same time while adhering a rubber composition, which is a material for the tooth part (14), including the second rubber and a second vulcanizing agent to the reinforcing-sheet (12). The aqueous treatment agent contains the vulcanizing agent in the range of 10 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the first rubber.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method by which particulate reinforcement is applied to dry fiber via a powder coating or a “dusting” process and subsequently infused with a resin before or after forming a lay-up. Upon curing a composite lay-up, the particulate reinforcement may be randomly distributed through the laminate composite, forming a wear surface on one side. The application of dried bulk particulate may be applied to a fibrous sheet (or fiber reinforcement) such that the coupling of the particulate reinforcement to the fiber includes a mechanical and/or electrostatic process. Agitating the particulate reinforcement prior to being applied to the dry fiber may induce an electrostatic charge. Further, the particulate reinforcement may include raw microspheres of different types and styles, such as organic, inorganic, unexpanded, pre-expanded, etc.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composition for the production of shaped bodies, consisting of polymer lignin, shellac and natural fibers and also a method for the production of shaped bodies from such a composition via production of a shaped body through extrusion.

Abstract: A filler for a bituminous mixture, particularly asphalt mastic, includes a mixture of a stone-like natural product, for example, rock dust, and an industrial product in the form of pulverized resin with cellulose fiber substances. Approximately 80 percent of the mixture preferably have a grain size of less than 0.09 mm. The pulverized resin with cellulose fiber materials is produced particularly as a dust-like abrasion product during the grinding, cutting or drilling processing of clutch linings or brake linings.

Abstract: Novel aerated fibrous slurry comprising fibrous material, foaming agent, stabilizer, water and gas, which when dried to a water content of not more than 10% by weight, forms a dry, resilient fibrous foam composition. The dry, resilient fibrous foam composition is useful as an inexpensive cushioning filler, as a heat insulating material and as an absorbent of liquids.

Abstract: An improved earthen composition suitable for building construction comprises soil, a sulfonic acid, cellulose and a cementing agent comprising a calcium cement such as Portland cement, lime or calcium carbonate and/or an asphalt cement such as asphaltic concrete, asphalt, or tar. The compositions are prepared in an aqueous mixture, which is then tamped or consolidated, and dried.

Abstract: A clay pigeon used as a target in trapshooting or skeet shooting which is made by molding a composition comprising low molecular weight thermoplastic resin, high molecular weight thermoplastic resin and inorganic powdered filler, and if desired, additives, pigments and/or antioxidants are added to the composition. The clay pigeon is itself light colored without the need for a light coloring finish and contains no noxious material.
