The invention relates to lamelliform oxides of high ionic conductivity which contain monovalent elements inserted between lamellae of oxides of the type (L.sub.x M.sub.1-x) O.sub.2 wherein L is a trivalent element, M is a tetravalent element and x is a number between 0 and 1. Such oxides are useful as solid electrolytes in electrochemical generators or cells.

A solid wall plug-type anchor comprised of a molded extrudible plastic material comprises a central hinge section and at least two extension members longitudinally extending from the hinge section. The hinge section permits the extension members to be hingedly moved into engaging nested juxtaposition with each other with nesting of integrally formed depressions and elevations in the engaging surfaces of the extension members. The nested structure comprises a solid, solid-wall elongated anchor wi...

An organic guest compound having both an electron attractive group and an electron donative group is blended with a host polymer selected from a lactone polymer and a copolymer nylon to form a solid solution. The solid solution shows good mechanical strength and processability and may be suitably formed into a nonlinear optical device. Even if the guest compound is a compound, such as p-nitroaniline, which has a large non-linearity but is by itself liable to form a centrosymmetrical crystal thus...

A solid electrolyte for power cells, especially power cells having a copper anode and a copper sulfide cathode, comprises a solid solution of from about 70 mole percent to about 90 mole percent of copper iodide and from about 30 mole percent to about 10 mole percent, respectively, of zinc iodide.

Solid detergent compositions containing up to 40% by weight of water are obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of an aqueous 40 to 60% by weight alkyl sulfate paste at 20.degree. to 80.degree. C. with (a) 15 to 100 parts by weight of a sodium salt selected from the group consisting of sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate and sodium silicate; and/or (b) 10 to 300 parts by weight aluminosilicate; and converting the solid mixture obtained into particulate or powder form at 20.degree. to 60.degree. C.

A solid laser comprises an anisotropic laser crystal, to which a rare earth element has been added, a pumping device, which causes a pumping beam to impinge upon the laser crystal, and a resonator mirror, which oscillates a solid laser beam having been produced by the laser crystal. The laser crystal is located in an orientation such that its crystallographic axis may makes an angle with respect to a laser oscillation axis. A device linearly moves the pumping means with respect to the laser crys...

A method of treating surfaces in order to eliminate microbial growth by adding an antibacterially effective amount of an organosilicon quaternary ammonium silatrane compound to the surface in order to destroy bacteria and fungi. The preferred organosilicon quaternary ammonium silatrane compound has the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4, each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl radical.

Improved cleaners for hard surfaces, cooking utensils, laundry and other substrates that can accumulate fatty soils can be cleaned using an aqueous cleaner made from a cast solid cleaning system. The cast solid system contains a carefully balanced formulation of cleaning ingredients that provide surprising animal or vegetable fat removing properties. The cleaning system can be manufactured in the form of a large bulk cast block. Such blocks are dispensed by spraying a dispensing spray of water o...

A solid electrolyte is prepared by dissolving a solvent and an electrolyte salt in a trifunctional polymer and crosslinking it by an irradiation of an active radiation and/or heating, characterized by that said trifunctional polymer is a trifunctional terminal acryloyl-modified alkylene oxide polymer containing a polymer chain expressed by the following general formula (I) as each functional chain; ##STR1## in which R' is a lower alkyl group, R" is hydrogen or methyl group and m or n is 0 or an ...
