Abstract:
In a Bowden cable, a shield thereof is formed from a hollow strand that is formed by twisting a plurality of metal individual wires. An end part of this hollow strand is exposed by removing an outer skin and is increased in diameter, thereby forming a first flare part. An end part of a liner is also increased in diameter to form a second flare part. An end piece is injection molded so as to envelop these flare parts. A synthetic resin as a material of this end piece is made to enter between the metal individual wires. The end piece includes a mounting part and a bent pipe part for covering and surrounding an outer periphery of an outer cable in a state in which the outer cable is curved. The mounting part and the bent pipe part are formed as a unit by injection molding.
Abstract:
A mixed PTFE powder according to the present invention is prepared by the steps of preparing a PTFE mixed dispersion by dispersing MoS2, Al2O3, and Al(OH)3 in a PTFE emulsion; dehydrating the PTFE mixed dispersion by adding Na2CO3 into the PTFE mixed dispersion to form a cake type compound; preparing an ingot by drying the cake type compound for about 16 to 24 hours at the temperature of about 120 to 190° C.; and pulverizing the ingot in a 30-35 mesh vibrating net. An HDME PTFE yarn according to the present invention is prepared by the steps of preparing the mixed PTFE powder; adding kerosene of about 18 to 25 wt. % as solvent to the mixed PTFE powder and maintaining the resultant for about 40 to 50 hours at the temperature of about 30 to 50° C.; extruding the resulting mixed PTFE into the form of rod at about 70 to 90° C.; calendering the rod into the form of sheet at about 100 to 150° C., the width of the sheet being about 100 to 300 mm and the thickness about 0.3 to 0.7 mm; folding the sheet to become a three layered sheet and passing through the three layered sheet in an oven of about 250 to 270° C. at a speed of about 10 to 40 cm per second; and drawing the three-layered sheet at the temperature of about 450 to 500° C. at the speed of about 30 to 100 cm/s and the drawing ratio of about 200 to 600%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a reinforcement rod (2) from a fibrous composite material consisting of continuous mineral fibers (5, 23, 35) and at least one resin (7, 25), at least one portion of the mineral fibers (5, 23) being mixed with a resin-curing agent mixture, the mineral fibers (5, 23) that have been mixed with the resin-curing agent mixture and, optionally, resin-free mineral fibers (35) subsequently being brought together to form a rod, and the resin (7, 25) being cured. A mixture of at least one resin (7, 25) and at least two different curing agents is used as said resin-curing agent mixture, the two curing agents forming reactive species under different conditions for curing the resin (7, 25) such that the reactive species are available for the curing process at different times.
Abstract:
A strain relief for a coaxial cable and coaxial connector interconnection is provided as an injection moldable polymer material surrounding the interconnection. The injection moldable material fills a solder pre-form cavity between an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and an inner diameter of a bore of the connector body, strengthening and environmentally sealing the interconnection.

The injection moldable material fills a solder pre-form cavity between an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and an inner diameter of a bore of the connector body, strengthening and environmentally sealing the interconnection. Where the outer conductor is corrugated, the polymer material may be provided covering an exposed portion of the corrugations and/or filling portions of a corrugation trough between an outer jacket and the outer diameter of the outer conductor.
Abstract:
An aqueous binder composition for mineral fiberss comprises a water-soluble binder component obtainable by reacting glycerol and at least one alkanolamine with at least one carboxylic anhydride in proportions such that the ratio of equivalents of amine groups plus hydroxy groups (NH+OH) to equivalents of carboxy groups (COOH) in the binder component is within the range of about 0.4 to 2.0, glycerol being used in an amount such that the equivalent ratio of glycerol OH groups to total equivalents of amine groups plus hydroxy groups (NH+OH) is 0.1 to 0.9, and, optionally, treating the reaction product with a base.
Abstract:
A fiber of carbon nanotubes was prepared by a wet-spinning method involving drawing carbon nanotubes away from a substantially aligned, supported array of carbon nanotubes to form a ribbon, wetting the ribbon with a liquid, and spinning a fiber from the wetted ribbon. The liquid can be a polymer solution and after forming the fiber, the polymer can be cured. The resulting fiber has a higher tensile strength and higher conductivity compared to dry-spun fibers and to wet-spun fibers prepared by other methods.
