A method of and apparatus for depositing metallic oxide coatings that are highly electrically transmissive and highly electrically conductive onto a substrate. An r.f. signal is employed to develop an ionized plasma of metal and oxygen atoms, the plasma being adapted for deposition onto a large area substrate which preferably includes semiconductor layers thereon. The method and apparatus are particularly adapted for the improved deposition of transmissive and conductive coatings which include l...

A highly selective zeolitic reforming catalyst is disclosed that contains a promoter selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, and titanium; and that has a platinum to promoter weight ratio of less than 10:1. In one embodiment a type L zeolite is formed by combining an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and ferric nitrate with an aqueous solution of silica to form a thickening gel in a mother liquor; heating the thickening gel to form a type L zeolite; cooling...

Textured Polypropylene yarn possessing high resilience comparable to nylon as a result of unique structural configuration. The yarns are particularly suited for use in carpeting and upholstery.

The disclosure is of a transportation system which includes an elongated guidebeam having three spaced apart running surfaces. Two of the running surfaces as substantially vertical to accommodate wheels rotating about vertical axles and the third running surface is substantially horizontal to accomodate wheels rotating on horizontal axles. Wheels which rotate on a normally vertical axle and wheels which rotate on a normally horizontal axle are connected to a rack which is adapted to move along t...

The mixer comprises a tube, one end of which is closed by a stationary piston and the other end by a piston movable in the direction of the tube axis and provided with an axial boring through which a stirrer extends into the tube. The stirrer pivots round its axis and can be shifted in axial direction.

Polyurethanes having the repeating unit: ##SPC1## Where n is an integer of 1 to 12, p is an integer of 2 to 23, y is an integer of 1 to 1000, and R is any radical suitable to link isocyanate groups and is preferably selected from the group consisting of alkylene and halogen substituted alkylene radicals of four to 12 C atoms, substituted and unsubstituted phenylene groups of up to 20 C atoms.

Aluminum flake powder having high specular reflectivity is produced by wet ball milling aluminum powder in the presence of a lubricant using a volume ratio of grinding balls to powder of at least 15:1 and a volume ratio of grinding balls to milling liquid (e.g., a light liquid hydrocarbon) which preferably is substantially equal.

A highly hydrophilic polyurethane article, which is the skeletal network of a cellular polyurethane foam subjected to a reticulation process wherein the polyurethane contains up to 100 parts of a superabsorbent material per hundred parts of polyol used in preparing the polyurethane, is useful in absorbing and holding large amounts of aqueous liquids is prepared by: (a) mixing a polyisocyanate, a polyol and a blowing agent with a finely divided superabsorbent material which is insoluble in a liqu...
