Abstract:
An electric grill is provided having a grate, a first electrical insulator layer located above the grate, a heater layer deposited on a top surface of the first electrical insulator layer, and a top layer located over the heater layer for protecting the heater layer.
Abstract:
There is described an aqueous, foamable composition delivered from a foaming device for conditioning, lightening and highlighting hair which comprises: (i) a conditioning agent, (ii) a peroxygen compound, (iii) an acid, and (iv) a foaming agent; said composition having a pH of 5 or less. There is also described a method for conditioning lightening and highlighting hair which comprises treating said hair with a composition of the invention.
Abstract:
An automated process of making reinforced roof and wall sheets for trucks and trailers employs step-by-step advancement of the sheet stock and lateral infeed of the structural reinforcing members. As the reinforcing members are sequentially fed into registry with the sheet stock, two kinds of adhesive are applied to them, one being a hot melt adhesive and the other being a catalyzed room temperature curing adhesive. The hot melt adhesive sets to provide an initial bonding which allows normal handling while the room temperature curing adhesive cures in the joint ultimately to augment the hot melt and provide a high strength joint.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for clamping one or more cables is provided comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the first and second components each have a main body, a cut out region, and a connector region; and wherein the two components are removably coupled by connecting together their respective connector and cut out regions. The clamping force to the cables can be determined solely by finger pressure, which permits the user to have excellent tactile feedback to safely clamp a cable bundle. The apparatus is compatible with mass production injection molding and can be used for applications requiring UHV compatibility.
Abstract:
A heating apparatus assembly and method are provided for heating a surface. The heating apparatus contains a substrate with a multiplicity of heating elements disposed upon at least one surface of the substrate where each element is individually controllable.
Abstract:
The present invention features a metallic resistive heater and uses thereof. The resistive heater includes a metallic component that is electrically conductive (i.e., has low resistivity) and an oxide, nitride, carbide, and/or boride derivative of the metallic component that is electrically insulating (i.e., has high resistivity). The resistivity is controlled in part by controlling the amount of oxide, nitride, carbide, and boride formation during the deposition of the metallic component and the derivative.
