A compound beam, column or rod, consisting of a web (31) of timber or a wood-based board material or plastic material and of one or several flanges formed of sheet metal and affixed to the margin and bent around the web. The flange (32) has been affixed to the web by teeth or equivalent extending substantially through the web, and possibly using glue as aid. The teeth (33,34) bend when striking against the opposite flange metal sheet, producing a permanent joint. The teeth may also be affixed to...

A compound body comprising a metallic basic body, an inner layer or layers of carbides and/or nitrides of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Si, or B, and an outer layer or layers of a mixture of oxides and nitrides and/or oxynitrides of Cr, Al, Ca, Mg, Th, Sc, Y, La, Ti, Hf, V, Nb, or Ta. The compound body can be used as a part subject to wear, and for machining metallic materials.

An apparatus for providing oscillatory motion is described. The apparatus comprises drive means and an adjustable member to provide a lever of the first, second or third class, or a means having no leverage component.

A pair of limbs extend from opposite end portions of a handle member. Each limb has a free end portion upon which is rotatably and eccentrically mounted a pulley. A continuous cable is reeved about the pulleys and includes an arrow string portion extending between the limbs. The cable portions extend from the pulleys and through a cavity in the handle member where they are supported by idler pulleys. The pulleys are eccentrically mounted by devices that permit adjustments in the eccentric axis o...

Styrylamidines are prepared by treating styrylsulfonylamidines with base. The styrylamidines are effective in the prevention of aggregation of blood platelets and as analgesics. Compounds of the invention are also useful as anticonvulsants, diuretics, and antihypertensive agents. The styrylsulfonylamidines of the invention which serve as precursors to the styrylamidines also have analgesic properties. Illustrative of the styrylamidines of the present invention are 4-amino-N-(4-aminostyryl)benzam...

A compound bow, including a center handle portion, upper and lower limbs having inner ends connected to the center portion and free outer ends. Upper and lower draw pulleys are eccentrically mounted respectively on axles mounted on the free outer ends of the upper and lower limbs with a first draw cable having one end positioned adjacent the lower draw pulley and extending across the bow and with the other end of the first draw cable extending around the upper draw pulley. A free end of the firs...
