This sandwich structure is heated in an oxidizing ambient to cause the oxidation of the carbon layer leaving the second refractory material as a free-standing film.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1986Date of Patent: November 10, 1987Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J. Bernstein, T. Bruce Koger, Charles S. Chanley

Patent number: 4702874Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a release paper characterized in that a mixture of polyolefin and a silicone release agent compatible therewith comprising a reaction product of polymethyl hydrogen siloxane, vinyl group-containing poly-dimethyl siloxane and at least one of olefins or polyolefins having one or more double-bonds is extruded onto a substrate of paper, fabric, film etc., the laminate is heat treated for the release agent contained in the mixed layer of the above-mentioned laminate to bleed onto the surface of the mixed layer to be thus localized and the localized release agent is fixed by curing.The release agent's compatibility with the polyolefin, and this film forming and stretching properties are improved, and since the release agent of high concentration is localized and fixed by curing on the surface of the release agent layer, only a small amount of the release agent is needed.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1986Date of Patent: October 27, 1987Assignee: Goyo Paper Working Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuzo Ohara, Ryoichi Kitamura

Patent number: 4692292Abstract: Process for manufacturing of molded objects by hot-pressing lignocellulose-containing materials with polyisocyanates as binders while using an agent to release the molded article from the surface of the metal press used. A mixture of the organosilicon compounds is applied onto the surface of the cauls or molds which faces the material to be pressed, and cured at a temperature from 100.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably in the presence of known curing catalysts. The mixture of organosilicon compounds comprising(a) 20 to 65 weight percent of a silicone resin of the general formula ##EQU1## in which R.sup.1 is a low molecular weight alkyl radical with 1 to 4 carbon atoms,a has a value of 1 to 1.7,b has a value of 0.3 to 1.0;(b) 30 to 65 weight percent of an .alpha.,.omega.-methylsiloxanediol with an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 20,000;(c) 5 to 15 weight percent of a silicate ester of the general formula ##EQU2## in which R.sup.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1985Date of Patent: September 8, 1987Assignee: Th.

Patent number: 4668729Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for a thin sheet molding of a thermoplastic resin easily and economically and also the thin oriented sheet molding prepared by such a process. Its specific feature resides in the steps of lubricating the inner surface of die, laying over one another thermoplastic resin blanks while being not adhered to each other in a die, compressing the layered structure at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin blanks and separating the oriented molded products from each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1984Date of Patent: May 26, 1987Assignee: Asahi Kasei Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroshi Kataoka

Patent number: 4639345Abstract: A dry wall interlocking building block system includes a method of manufacturing moulds for casting building blocks, in which master forms corresponding in shape and size to the required blocks are cast from a cold-pouring compound in collapsible core-boxes, and in which a mould is built up around the master forms (7) by securing the forms to a casting table (8), placing metal liner plates (9) against the sides of the forms, filling the spaces around the liner plates with a similar cold-pouring compound, allowing the compound to set, and withdrawing the forms to leave a plurality of mould cavities. The mould can then be mounted in a block making machine for large scale casting of concrete blocks in the mould cavities. One feature of the preferred mould is that the liner plates are detachable, countersunk bolts (10) having been fitted in holes in the liner plates (9) prior to filling the spaces around the plates. The invention also includes a two-recess building block cast in the above mould.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1983Date of Patent: January 27, 1987Inventor: Randolffa R. Olsen
