20090205955 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A ROTATABLE SPUTTER TARGET - The invention relates to a method to manufacture a rotatable sputter target. The method comprises the steps of—providing a backing tube;—providing a target material on the backing tube by coiling at least one elongated member around the backing tube;—providing an outer material on top of the target material;—applying heat and/or pressure to the outer material and/or to the backing tube;—removing the outer material. | 08-20-2009 |
20110239905 | CORD FOR REINFORCEMENT OF A CEMENTITIOUS MATRIX - The invention relates a cord for the reinforcement of a cementitious matrix. The cord comprises number of coated metal filaments twisted together to form a cord. The cord shows cross-sections, whereby three or more of the filaments form a closed sub-structure having a void in the middle of the three or more filaments. The cord further comprises a protective compound whereby the protective compound is at least present in said void. The protective compound gives the coated metal element cathodic protection. The invention further relates to a structure comprising a number of cords such as a knitted, a braided, a welded or a glued structure. Furthermore the invention relates to a cementitious matrix reinforced with a cord according to the present invention and to a method to inhibit hydrogen gas evolution at the interface of a cord embedded in a cementitious matrix. | 10-06-2011 |
20130011184 | SPLICE FOR JOINTING STEEL CORD STRIPS ENCASED IN THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL - A splice is described for jointing thermoplastic strips that comprise steel cords. In the splice a splice polymer is used that is a mixture of a co-polymer and a base polymer, wherein the co-polymer is a grafted co-polymer, a block co-polymer or a random co-polymer functionalised for enabling adhesion to the steel cords. Particular about the inventive splice is that the amount of co-polymer in the base polymer is such that in a test-till-break of a splice, part of the steel cords fracture in the test while the remaining cords are pulled out of the polymer without breaking. Surprisingly, a splice with such a failure behaviour results in a better overall splice strength than a splice wherein a too large amount of co-polymer is added. When too much co-polymer is added all steel cords break in the test which strangely enough leads to a lower overall strength of the splice. | 01-10-2013 |
20130025089 | LAY-OUT FOR SPLICING STRIPS COMPRISING CORDS - A plain stepped splice lay-out scheme is presented that can be used for splicing strips to one another that comprise longitudinally arranged cords.

The splice is optimised for uniform bending stiffness and maximum strength retention. The cross section of the strip and the splice are substantially equal: there is no increase in thickness or width at the splice. The splice lay-out is characterised by the fact that the abutments ( | 01-31-2013 |
