A computer-implemented method for measuring the three-dimensional geometry of a mineral glass-based glazing during or just after a temperature shaping operation. The method implements digital processing and calculations, based on the principles of stereocorrelation, of digital images of a random light pattern projected onto the surface of a transparent glazing. It makes it possible in particular to determine the shape or the three-dimensional geometry of a transparent glazing, the surface of which not be totally opacified and/or which radiates under the effect of temperature.

Method for measuring the geometry of a glazing by projection of a random light pattern

A monolithic or laminated glazing is bolted or pinched by a frame which is itself bolted onto or through a structure, wherein, in at least part of the periphery of the glazing of maximum flexibility or of minimum stiffness with respect to the buckling phenomenon, the bolting is performed by at least one bolt inserted into a bush concentric to the bolt, or replaced by the insertion of a bush or of a pin, each bush or each pin being mounted without play on the glazing or on the frame, and on or through the structure.

Glazing mounted on a structure by fixing points of which at least one is free of play with respect to the glazing or to a pinching frame thereof

A shaped abrasive particle including a body comprising a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface extending between the first major surface and the second major surface, the body comprising a sharpness-shape-strength factor (3SF) within a range between about 0.7 and about 1.7 and a Shape Index within a range between at least about 0.01 and not greater than about 0.49.

Abrasive article including shaped abrasive particles

A shaped abrasive particle including a body having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface joined to the first major surface and the second major surface, and the body has at least one partial cut extending from the side surface into the interior of the body.

An abrasive particle having a body including a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a side surface extending between the first major surface and the second major surface, such that a majority of the side surface comprises a plurality of microridges.

Abrasive particles and methods of forming same

One aspect of the disclosure is a shingle including a first bituminous sheet at the bottom surface of the shingle, the first bituminous sheet having a lower edge disposed at the lower end of the shingle, the first bituminous sheet having one or more slits extending from the lower edge of the first bituminous sheet toward the upper end of the shingle; and a second bituminous sheet at least partially laminated to a top surface of the first bituminous sheet, the second bituminous sheet having a lower edge disposed adjacent the lower end of the shingle, the second bituminous sheet having one or more tabs being defined by one or more notches formed in the second bituminous sheet, each notch extending away from the lower edge of the second bituminous sheet.

Roofing shingles and methods for installing and making them

An annular seal including a body defining a central lumen and a weakened portion disposed around the central lumen. In an embodiment, the weakened portion includes at least one aperture or a plurality of apertures. In a further embodiment, the apertures may be identical to one another. An annular seal including a body defining a central lumen bounded by a sidewall, wherein the body has a dual-elastic modulus profile including a first elastic modulus, S, as measured along the sidewall prior to assembly with an inner component, and a second elastic modulus, S, as measured along the sidewall after assembly with the inner component, and wherein the first elastic modulus is less than the second elastic modulus.

Annular seals

A tube can include a sidewall defining a lumen profile. The sidewall can include a plurality of alternating thin regions and thick regions. The lumen profile can include a plurality of alternating large radius and small radius regions. The thin regions or large radius regions can include elastic instabilities adapted to form an essentially complete closure of the lumen profile at minimal compression.

Peristaltic pump tube with non-uniform lumen profile

A shaped abrasive particle including a body having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface extending between the first major surface and the second major surface, wherein the body includes a sharpness-shape-strength factor (3SF) within a range between about 0.7 and about 1.7 and a Shape Index within a range between at least about 0.51 and not greater than about 0.99.
