So, Delaney has had what I thought was a cold on and off for two months.Ā I have had the same cold, so I assumed this was the problem.Ā She got a fever for the first time last week though and her nose is running like a faucet!Ā It is sometimes clear and sometimes darker and thicker.Ā We are going to the doctor today and I assume they are going to tell me she has (and has had) a sinus infection.Ā She hasn't been fussy AT ALL though, which is strange.Ā Any other LO's have sinus infections?Ā What do they do for them???
One Year Old w/ Sinus Infection
Comments (5)
My girl has never been one to show many symptoms of sickness - she has had ear infections (and double ones at that) and no fever or other symptoms (they were just discovered because we went in for something else).┬Ā She is a tough one to read but she does tend to get more whiney and crabby (harder to tell when she was younger).┬Ā
Antibiotics will do the trick and she will be right as rain. Usually no other treatment is needed.

Oh yeah - at 12 months it is definitely likely.┬Ā My girl got what the doc said was "mono" at 12 months old...which I only remember because it was right after we put her in daycare and she was sick on her birthday.┬Ā So he had to treat that with antibiotics.

My youngest child, from 4 months to 15months, had chronic sinus and upper respiratory infections. They give antibiotics or sometimes will let it run its course. If your LO keeps getting colds as for a referral to an allergist. It has made a huge difference with my angel.
It may or may not be. My 8 year old just had a sinus infection but didn't complain at all. They put her on antibiotics and she is fine now. I just had one so bad I wanted to scream. I had horrible headaches, a nose that wouldn't stop running with goopy stuff, my teeth even hurt. Doc said I had it bad and had to do 2 rounds of Zithromax.
If they think she has one she will go on antibiotics.

Imported from Italy, this stylish toothpaste makes brushing your teeth anything but routine. Both the Classic Mint and Whitening formulas keep your breath fresh while removing surface stains from your teeth. Plus, the apothecary-inspired tube dresses up the bathroom sink.
I will admit I was drawn to this because i liked the packaging. I was also interested in trying something different from usual suspects of toothpaste. I got the blue one which I believe was Peppermint and it worked well but the flavor was a bit intense. I'd be willing to try it again in a different flavor.3
The taste of this toothpaste is rather refreshing and although I have sensitive teeth it didnt seem to harm them. My mouth felt fresh for a decent amount of time. I love the packaging the most, it looks almost "antique" and I have had a few house guests who have asked me where I got it. Birchbox of course! I havent used it long term so Im not sure what effects it will have on the appearance of my smile yet.4

The last-mentioned two applications are continuations-in-part of application Ser. No. 328,378 filed Jan. 31, 1973 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,867,184 granted Feb. 18, 1975).
The present invention relates to the treatment of metal by diffusion coating.
Among the objects of the present invention is the provision of improved coating and treating processes and improved products thus formed. A particular object is to protect metals against corrosion or oxidation at elevated temperatures.
The foregoing as well as additional objects of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following description of several of its exemplifications, reference being made to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a packed retort for carrying out a differential coating process of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-section along line 2--2 of FIG. 1 of a workpiece packed in the retort.
It is known that superalloy articles such as turbine vanes and blades as well as burner rings in the hot section of jet engines can be diffusion coated with chromium and then diffusion coated with aluminum to improve their resistance to corrosion and oxidation at temperatures as high as 1100� C.
One very effective technique for chromizing a superalloy workpiece in preparation for the aluminizing is as follows:
A group of B-1900 jet engine blades was packed in a cup-shaped retort 4 inches high in an NH4 Cl-energized diffusion coating pack having 14% powdered chromium and 15% powdered Ni3 Al. The remainder of the pack was alumina, but can be any other inert material. The energizer content was 1/2% by weight of the total of the other pack ingredients. Chromizing was conducted in a hydrogen-bathed atmosphere, as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,764,371, with the retort loosely covered, holding a 1925� F. temperature for 20 hours, giving a very uniform chromized case about 0.7 mils deep, essentially free of oxide inclusions and without the formation of alpha-chromium phase.
In the event the Ni3 Al content of the pack is omitted or is less than about 3% by weight, a substantial amount of oxide inclusions are formed in the case, and these may cause the case to spall off under the influence of repeated thermal shock treatment, particularly if their number increases to form a continuous layer of inclusions. Such inclusions tend to form in the chromium diffusion case of any superalloy containing aluminum and/or titanium. The number of such inclusions formed diminishes sharply when the Ni3 Al content of the pack is at least 3% by weight, and reaches a minimum when the Ni3 Al content is about 6%. As much as about 20% Ni3 Al can be contained in the pack so that there is a considerable tolerance for it and a wide concentration range for its use. It is preferred to use 8 to 15% of Ni3 Al so as not to require accurate measuring and also to make it unnecessary to add make-up Ni3 Al after each use of the chromizing pack.
In addition to reducing oxide inclusions, the Ni3 Al behaves like an inert diluent in the pack since it does not interfere significantly with the chromizing. Thus the chromium content of the pack can be as low as 10% and as high as 40%, regardless of the Ni3 Al content.
The formation of oxide inclusions during chromizing is also reduced when the chromizing takes place in an evacuated atmosphere as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,290,126 granted Dec. 6, 1966. In an evacuated atmosphere the chromium content of the pack should be relatively high, e.g. from about 25 to about 60% by weight to keep the chromizing time from exceeding 30 hours, and the energizer should be a non-volatile halide.
The foregoing reduction in oxide inclusion and alpha-chromium phase formation is also obtained when other nickel-base superalloys are substituted for the B-1900 alloy of Example 1. The B-1900 composition is given in U.S. Pat. No. 3,622,391, and alternative superalloys include any alloy having 50 to 75% nickel and a little aluminum or titanium. Also the Ni3 Al can be replaced by intermetallics ranging from Ni3.5 Al to Ni2 Al with equivalent results.
When chromizing the foregoing superalloys at atmospheric pressure or at somewhat above atmospheric pressure there is a tendency to form alpha phase chromium on the chromized superalloy workpiece even when the chromium pick-up is as low as 1 to 3 milligrams per square centimeter of surface. Such alpha phase formation is helpful in that after a subsequent aluminizing coated members have greater resistance to corrosion, as much as three or more times the resistance to corrosion in hot sulfidizing atmospheres. However the alpha-chromium tends to be brittle and does not provide a good surface for receiving vapor-deposited top coatings such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,676,085. By using a cup-shaped retort effectively not over 5 inches in height as described in Ser. No. 576,981, the formation of alpha-chromium phase is prevented. Retort cups taller than 5 inches can be effectively used without alpha-chromium formation by perforating the side wall of the retort at a level within 5 inches of its bottom. The perforations can be 1/8 inch diameter holes drilled through the retort wall to provide venting about 1 to 2 square inches in cross-sectional area for every pound of diffusion coating pack. Small holes such as those 1/8 inch in diameter generally do not permit any significant amount of the pack to spill out through them, but larger size holes can be used and covered by a wire screen when the retort is being loaded.
It is preferred to maintain an effective retort height of at least two inches, as by providing the foregoing venting at least two inches up from the bottom of the retort. It should also be noted that such venting is not to the air but to the space that surrounds the inner retort. That space is bathed by a stream of hydrogen, but can instead be bathed by a stream of inert gas like argon, during the chromizing. In general, reduction in alpha phase formation is obtained with any chromium-diffusion pack and does not require the presence of any of the foregoing nickel aluminide intermetallics in the pack. However the presence of 3% of more of such intermetallic in the pack will even further reduce the tendency to form alpha-chromium. Modifying Example 1 by replacing its retort with an unperforated retort cup 10 inches high will provide a chromized case about 1.5 mils thick with a substantial content of alpha phase chromium and suitable for subsequent aluminizing to make an excellent product that without further treatment has unusually good sulfidation resistance.
The diffusion aluminizing that follows the diffusion chromizing can be either an inhibited or an uninhibited aluminizing. The uninhibited aluminizing is conducted with no more than a slight amount of chromium, or none at all, present in the aluminizing pack. A chromium content about half that of the aluminum, by weight, inhibits the aluminizing by greatly reducing the aluminum coating rate and is described for instance in U.S. Pat. No. 3,257,230. As pointed out in that patent, larger proportions of chromium to aluminum can also be used in the inhibited aluminizing, and proportions greater than 3:1 by weight cause some of the chromium to diffuse into the aluminized case along with the aluminum.
A very effective combination of the foregoing coatings is illustrated in the following example.
First hot stage jet engine vanes, some made of Rene 77 alloy and some of Rene 80 alloy were packed in a powder coating pack in a 10-inch high retort. The pack had the following composition, by weight:
______________________________________Very fine chromium 45%(20 micron size or less)Pre-fired mixture of:49.2 parts Al2 O342.8 parts Ni 6.5 parts Al 1.5 parts Cr 55%NH4 Cl energizer 0.5% of the foregoing______________________________________
The entire pack had been prefired at 1925� F. for 5 hours and its energizer content brought up to the designated amount with fresh NH4 Cl.
After the packing is completed the retort is loosely covered and heated in a hydrogen-bathed atmosphere as described in Example 1, to 1925�-1975� F. where it is kept for 10 hours. After blasting with fine glass powder, both alloys show a 1.5 mil thick diffusion coating case the outermost third of which is rich in alpha-chromium. The thus-coated workpieces are then given an inhibited aluminizing treatment as described in Example I of U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,357, but without the masking there referred to. A 10-hour aluminizing carried out in that manner at 1950� F. produces a total diffusion coating case about 3 mils thick on the Rene 77 alloy and about 2.5 mils thick on the Rene 80 alloy. These coated members are unusually resistant to sulfidizing corrosion at temperatures of 1900� F.
The foregoing Rene alloys are nickel-base superalloys having the following approximate compositions in percent by weight:

Similar results are also obtained with other nickel-based superalloys as well as with cobalt-base superalloys.
Chromium-inhibited aluminizing is particularly desirable as a top coating over a platinum diffusion or electroplated coating on nickel-base superalloys, and in such a combination provides greater sulfidation resistance at high temperatures than the use of the uninhibited aluminizing in such a combination as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,677,789 granted July 18, 1972. The same advantage is obtained when other platinum metals, particularly palladium, are used in place of platinum. Additional suitable examples of chromium-inhibited aluminizing are described in Canadian Pat. No. 806,618 issued Feb. 18, 1969, as well as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,257,230. The nickel-base superalloys are also described in those patents and generally are those high temperature alloys which contain at least about 50% nickel and about 6 to 25% chromium.
The following coating illustrates this coating combination:
A jet engine (hot section) blade of B-1900 alloy and electroplated with a 0.0003 inch thick layer of platinum was subjected to a hydrogen-bathed pack diffusion coating at 1890� F. for 12 hours, in a previously used pack consisting of, by weight:
______________________________________magnesothermic chromium powder 45%alumina (-325 mesh) 45%aluminum powder (-325 mesh) 10%______________________________________
activated with 1/2% NH4 Cl.
The thus treated blade has a 0.003 inch thick diffusion case and also shows exceptional hot sulfidation resistance.
Other types of very finely divided chromium less than 10 microns in size can be used in place of the magnesothermic powder in the foregoing example.
Similar hot sulfidation resistance is obtained for DS nickel if it is first chromized, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,785,854 for example, then given a thin platinum overcoating as by electroplating or vapor condensation, and then aluminized as also described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,785,854. Thus a 4 to 6 mil chromized case with a 0.2 to 0.3 mil platinum layer and a 1 mil inhibited aluminizing case makes a very effective coating combination for a DS nickel burner ring.
DS nickel is the preferred designation for nickel that is stregthened by having dispersed in it about 2 weight percent of finely divided thorium oxide or the like. TD nickel was previously used as such designation.
Diffusion coatings can also be applied so that some portions of a workpiece contain a thinner coating than other portions. Thus roots or hollow interiors of turbine blades can be arranged to be diffusion coated at the same time the remainder of the blade is diffusion coated, but with less coating than the remainder of the blade. The following example is typical:
A set of hollow first stage turbine blades of B-1900 alloy had their hollow interiors filled with the following aluminizing pack:
45% chromium
10% aluminum
Balance alumina plus 1/2% NH4 Cl
The blades so filled were packed in an aluminizing pack containing:
10% chromium
11% aluminum
1.4% silicon
Balance alumina plus 1/2% NH4 Cl
All ingredients were -200 mesh. A retort so packed was then subjected to a hydrogen-bathed coating heat at 1800� F. for 5 hours, and after clean-up the blades showed a 4.3 milligram per square centimeter pick-up of aluminum on their interior surfaces, with a 10.2 milligram per square centimeter aluminum pick-up on their exterior surfaces. Similar results are obtained whether or not the foregoing packs are given a break-in pre-firing.
In the same way the roots of blades or buttresses of vanes or trailing edges of both blades and vanes can be given coatings thinner than the remainder of the blades or vanes. Reducing the chromium content of the internal pack to 20% increases the internal coating weight. An increase in outer coating is obtained by reducing the chromium content of the outer pack or increasing its aluminum or silicon content.
Conversely, increasing the chromium content of the inner pack to 60% further diminishes the internal coating weight.
Without the chromium in the outer pack the silicon in that pack only slightly diminishes the magnitude of the aluminum it deposits, and without the silicon the changes in chromium content of the outer pack have been much less effect. The combination of the chromium, silicon and aluminum provides the coating control when the aluminum content of the pack is as little as 3% and as much as 20%, with the chromium content greater than, preferably about 1.5 to 3 times, that of the aluminum, and the silicon content about 10 to 20% that of the aluminum. The coating temperatures can vary from about 1600� F., preferably 1700� F., to about 2200� F., and the workpieces can be any metal that is not melted at the coating temperature, such as any nickel- or cobalt-based superalloy, DS nickel, DS nichrome, chromium-containing iron, and type 300 and 400 stainless steels.
Omitting the chromium or the silicon or both the chromium and the silicon from the outer pack greatly increases the rate at which the aluminum deposits on the surface of the workpiece.
Nickel can also be used in the diffusion coating pack in place of chromium and/or silicon to inhibit the rate at which an aluminum diffusion coating forms.
The B-1900 alloy turbine blades are preferably heat treated at 1975� F. for four hours followed by rapid cooling at least as fast as air cooling to below 200� F., with a subsequent ageing at 1650� C. for 10 hours and a final rapid cooling, in oder to develop their best mechanical properties. These heat treating steps can be carried out during the duffusion treatment to differentially coat, by using the snugly fitting containers and procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,824,122 granted July 14, 1974.
Another technique for simultaneously applying two different diffusion coatings is to use different energizers. This is illustrated by the following example:
The same B-1900 blades of Example 4 had their interiors filled with the following diffusion coating pack:
18.5% Ni3 Al
18% Aluminum
47% Co
15.5% Cr
0.5% NH4 Cl
The thus filled blades were packed in the following pack:
18.5% Ni3 Al
18% Alumina
46.5% Co
15% Cr
Using a 2000� F. coating temperature for ten hours in a hydrogen-bathed atmosphere produced an internal coating which was essentially a chromized case containing a negligible amount of cobalt. On the other hand the outer coating was a case that contained more cobalt than chromium and, after an aluminum top coat, provided a somewhat greater resistance to high temperature oxidation. The two cases had approximately the same thickness. It will be noted that the Ni3 Al in these formulations acted as inert diluent and can be replaced by other nickel aluminides as pointed out above, or by alumina where the formation of oxide inclusion is not objectionable or when the chromizing is effected under subatmospheric pressure.
Mixing the two energizers (NH4 Cl and NH4 I or their equivalents) enables the application of diffusion coatings of intermediate composition. Thus a mixture of 0.5% NH4 Cl and 0.5% I2, both by weight, provides a coating containing almost as much cobalt as chromium. NH4 Br can be used as energizer in place of chloride, the bromide acting very much like the chloride. Other volatilizable compounds of chlorine, bromine and iodine can be used as energizers with similar results so long so there is sufficient chromium and cobalt in the pack to provide the coatings. At least about 10% of each of these metals by weight based on the total metal content of the pack is all that is needed, and it is preferred to have at least about 15% inert filler by weight; without filler the pack tends to sinter together at temperatures of 2000� F. or higher.
The wall of the blades of Example 5 does a good job of keeping the diffusion coating atmosphere on the outside of each blade from affecting the diffusion coating atmospheres in the interiors of the blades. Where the different coatings of Example 5 are to be applied to adjacent portions of the outer surfaces, these portions can be effectively separated by a metal wall separating one pack from the other.
Where the pack on one side of such a separating wall has a tendency to vent its activator vapors into the pack on the other side of the wall, as can happen with the foregoing hollow blades when the opening into their hollow interiors is so located that it is submerged in the external pack, it is preferred to have more activator present in the external pack than in the internal pack, and to have a very small amount of activator in the internal pack, for example 1/4 to 1/2% by weight of the pack. Even such a small amount produces substantial excess vapor on heat-up and such vapor is vented out the opening for the hollow interiors. The effect of such vapors in contaminating the activator vapors generated in the external pack is reduced by keeping the activator content low in the internal pack, and swamping any vapors vented into the external pack by a larger activator content in the external pack as well as by the use of much more external pack than internal pack.
As in the case of simple diffusion coating packs, the inside and outer packs of Example 5 can be reused. It is desirable for such reuse to replenish the packs for so much of their contents as have been consumed in a coating operation. This keeps the pack fairly uniform in composition so it is not necessary to make many adjustments for such reuse or even for repeated reuse. Inasmuch as the activator is fairly thoroughly driven off during any diffusion coating operation, an inside pack can be used as an outer pack or vice versa, the amount and nature of the activator being selected to match the nature of the reuse rather than the past history of the pack. If it is no trouble to adjust the coating conditions for reuse without replenishment, this can also be done.
The packs of Examples 1 through 4 can also be similarly reused with or without replenishment.
The foregoing chromium and cobalt-chromium coatings are particularly suited for application at temperatures of at least 1700� F. to protect nickel-base superalloys against high temperature oxidation and sulfidation, in which event it is preferred to apply over these coatings a diffusion coating of aluminum or a coating of aluminum-chromium mixtures such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,528,861 and 3,676,085. For these purposes the differential coatings are preferably applied with the use of a retort effectively not over five inches high.
The following additional examples show modified forms of differential diffusion coating:
Jet engine hot section blades composed of PWA-1422 and with hollow interiors, were coated so the outer air foil surface had a heavy aluminized case and the root a thin aluminized case, with the interiors uncoated. This alloy has the following composition:
______________________________________Chromium 9%Cobalt 10%Titanium 2%Colombium 1%Aluminum 5%Tungsten 12.5%Carbon 0.15%Boron 0.015%Zirconium .05%Hafnium about 1%Nickel Balance______________________________________
To make sure the blades were clean their external and internal surfaces were first solvent cleaned in trichloroethylene, then dry blasted with 220 grit aluminum oxide propelled by air at a pressure of 30 psig. Any residual abrasive was then blown off the blades. The interiors of the blades were then filled with the masking composition made up of equal parts by weight of Ni3 A1 and alumina to which mixture is added metallic chromium so that its concentration is 1.6% by weight, all ingredients being -240 mesh. The blades were then packed in individual retort arrangements.
The outer air foil section of each blade was packed in a closely fitting pre-aluminized plain carbon steel tube with the following heavy coating pack composition (all percentages by weight):
20% chromium powder the particles of which range in size from about 1 to about 10 microns,
11%-250 mesh aluminum-silicon alloy containing approximately 88% aluminum and 12% silicon,
68.5% 325 mesh aluminum oxide,
0.5% ammonium chloride.
The packing was as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 where each blade is shown at 10, its air foil section at 12, its root at 14, the masking pack at 15, the opening through which the masking pack is inserted at 24, the pre-aluminized steel tube at 16, and the heavy coating pack at 18. It was then placed in a large retort 20 and a number of additional blades similarly prepared were placed alongside it in that retort. Over this assembly in the retort there was poured the following light coating pack 22 (all percentages by weight):
45% of the same chromium powder used in the heavy coating pack,
15% 325 mesh aluminum powder,
39.5% 325 mesh aluminum oxide,
0.5% ammonium chloride.
Before the packing each of the packs was broken in by heating to 1600� F. or higher for 5 hours, after which the ammonium chloride content of the packs was returned to its original value by supplemental additions.
A number of retorts 20 were then piled up within an outer retort as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,764,371, and heated by a surrounding furnace under a hydrogen atmosphere to 1650� F. plus or minus 25� F., which temperature was held for four hours. The assembly was then cooled under hydrogen, the hydrogen subsequently flushed out and the retorts opened and unloaded. The individual blades still with their air foil sections packed in tube 16, were then removed from the outer pack, a process which is easily accomplished inasmuch as the relatively low treatment temperature does not cause the pack particles to adhere together very tightly. The individual blades were then withdrawn from the individual tubes, and the masking mixtures in the hollows of the blades were finally poured out through the same air-cooling openings 24 used for introducing that mixture. With the help of a blast of air all residual packing and masking powder was blown off and the blades thus cleaned next placed in a furnace where they were heated under dry hydrogen to 1975� F. at which temperature they were held for four hours, following which they were rapidly cooled down with the help of a hydrogen flush to about 300� F. over a one hour period. They were then heated in air, argon or hydrogen or other inert atmosphere at 1650� F. for ten hours to complete their preparation for use. The average case depth for the outer air foil surface was 3.6 mils and the average case depth for the roots was 1.8 mils.
Essentially the same results are obtained when the workpieces are completely packed in individual snugly fitting retort tubes as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,824,122 and subjected to the heat treatment sequence while still in those tubes and during the coating step, as also described in that patent.
When coating with a diffusion coating pack in which the metal content is aluminum, or a mixture of aluminum and silicon, a prior break-in heat with such pack is not needed.
Using the manipulative technique of Example 6 or the alternative technique described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,824,122, the process of Example 6 can be modified so the interior surface of the blade is also coated, by substituting for the masking pack the light coating pack used around the root. Three different coatings can be simultaneously applied by using the chromizing packs of Example 5 against the root and outer air foil surface of a hollow blade, while aluminizing its interior surfaces. Thus the inside pack of Example 5 can be applied to the root, the same pack but with its NH4 Cl replaced by an equal quantity of NH4 I used against the outer air foil surface, and the lighter aluminizing pack of Example 6 packed in the hollow interior of the blade. The blade thus coated is particularly suited to receive on its outer air foil surface and on its root surface the top coating of U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,528,861 or 3,676,085.
Alternatively the root surface is masked and the interior surface of the air foil given the light aluminum coating while the external surface of the air foil the heavy coating. A still further alternative is to subject the external surface of the air foil to the coating treatment described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,528,861 or 3,676,085 while the internal surface of the air foil is masked and the root subjected to the light coating of Example 4. If desired the coating of U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,528,861 or 3,676,085 can be applied in this combination after the diffusion aluminizing of the root, and directly to the external surfaces of the air foil, or after those external surfaces have been given a heavy or light aluminizing.
The following are further examples of differential coating:
A row of jet engine vanes made of cobalt-base superalloy X-40 is packed in an Incoloy 800 retort with their external air foil surface embedded in the following powder pack mixture (by weight):
______________________________________Aluminum 10%Chromium (very fine particles) 30%Alumina 59.5%NH4 Cl 0.5%______________________________________
The pack mixture had been prefired, a treatment that drove off essentially all the original NH4 Cl, and an additional quantity of fresh NH4 Cl mixed with the prefired material after it had cooled down.
The packing was effected by aligning the vanes so the buttresses at each vane end were on the left and right of the row of vanes. The powder pack beyond the buttresses was then sucked away by a vacuum cleaner with a small nozzle, leaving the far surfaces of the buttresses uncovered.
Against these uncovered surfaces is then poured and tamped down the following powder pack mixture (by weight):
______________________________________Aluminum 10%Chromium (very fine particles) 45%Alumina 44.5%NH4 Cl 0.5%______________________________________
This pack mixture had also been prefired and had had its NH4 Cl replenished. The final assembly is then subjected to diffusion coating conditions in a glass-sealed retort assembly at 2050� F. for twenty hours. After cooling to 200� F. the glass seal is broken and the retort emptied. The vanes are cleaned with a light blasting by very fine glass microspheres blown by a stream of air from a 10 psig supply, and are beige-colored, showing that they are coated all over. However the coating on the end faces of the buttresses measures about 2.5 mils in case depth, whereas the air foil surface coating measures about 3.5 mils in case depth.
Limiting the diffusion coating treatment so that the heating of the packed retort is at 1950� F. for 16 hours produces an outer buttress coating case of about 1.5 mils and an air foil coating case of about 2.5 mils.
First stage hot section jet engine blades of PWA 663 alloy have their air foil surfaces embedded in the following diffusion pack:
15% chromium powder
10% powdered aluminum-silicon alloy containing 88% by weight aluminum
balance Al2 O3 powder activated with 1/2% ammonium chloride.
The roots of the vanes as well as their hollow interior surfaces are packed in the following pack which provides a thinner case:
45% powdered chromium
15% powdered aluminum
balance Al2 O3 powder activated with 1/2% ammonium chloride.
The vanes so packed are subjected to a diffusion coating heat where they are held at 1600� F. for 4 hours in a hydrogen bathed atmosphere. The resulting coating on the air foil surface is from 3 to 41/2 mils thick while the coating on the remaining surfaces can range from 1/2 to 21/2 mils thick. A 1650� F. treatment for 7 hours is even more desirable. The composition of PWA 663 alloy is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,622,391 as being the same as that for the B-1900 alloy.
A similar differential coating can be applied to other nickel-based superalloys, such as PWA 1422, but for such alloys the diffusion coating temperature can be increased to 1670� F., and the time at that temperature can be reduced to 3 hours or even less. The nickel-based alloys so coated are preferably post-diffused at 1975� C. for from 4 to 8 hours in a hydrogen atmosphere after they are removed from the coating pack, and then air cooled at 40� F. per minute or faster down to a temperature at least as low as 1000� F.
First stage hot section blades of a jet engine, which blades are also made of PWA 1422 alloy are coated in the following pack:
8.8% powdered aluminum
1.2% powdered silicon
15% powdered chromium
balance Al2 O3 powder activated with 1/2% ammonium chloride
while the hollow internal surface of the blades and their roots are coated in the following mixture:
8.8% powdered aluminum
1.2% powdered silicon
30% powdered chromium
balamce Al2 O3 powder activated with 1/2% ammonium chloride
The coatings thus produced at the temperatures given in Example 8 are about the same thickness as the coatings in Example 8.
The coating packs of Example 9 can also be used to differentially coat nickel-based alloy vanes of PWA 1455. This alloy is effectively coated at 1620� to 1670� F. for 3 hours, post-diffused and air cooled as described above for B-1900, then aged at 1650� F. in air or hydrogen for 10 hours, and then cooled at a rate of at least 35� F. per minute to below 1000� F.
Similar results are obtained with alloys modified by the addition of 1 to 1.5% hafnium to increase ductility and yield strength, as well as diminish high temperature creep.
For even greater engine life the superalloys coated as in Examples 4 through 9 can have their diffusion-coated air foil surface given a top coating of the Co-Cr-Al-Y alloy as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,676,085, and their internal surfaces as well as their roots can be kept masked during such top coating.
When pack diffusion coating a relatively small portion of a workpiece surface, as for instance to touch up a defective spot having an area up to about 10% of a prior coating in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,357 granted Apr. 2, 1974, the remaining surfaces can be kept from excessive deterioration through surface loss of critical alloying ingredients, by packing in an essentially inert pack containing a depletion-reducing amount of those critical ingredients as explained in U.S. Pat. No. 3,958,047.
Depletion of diffusible material from a workpiece surface can also be beneficial. As noted in U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,517 granted Mar. 7, 1972, aluminide coatings diffused onto the surface of cobalt-base superalloy workpieces are generally quite brittle, so that the protection provided by those aluminide coatings leaves something to be desired. However pretreating the workpieces so as to effect substantial diffusion depletion from those surfaces then causes an aluminide coating subsequently applied to be much less brittle.
The following is a typical example:
A group of Mar-M-509 jet engine turbine vanes was packed in a plain carbon steel retort in a powder pack of equal parts by weight 325 mesh alumina and finely divided nickel the particles of which are about 40 microns in size. The pack is activated with about 1/2% by weight ammonium chloride and the retort so packed is heated in hydrogen to a temperature of 2,000� F. for 20 hours. The hydrogen atmosphere was provided as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,764,371.
At the completion of the heating the retort was permitted to cool and the cooled vanes removed from the pack. These vanes showed a weight loss of about 35 milligrams per square centimeter over their entire surface, and a typical cross section of a vane showed on microscopic examination a significant number of voids adjacent the surface that was in contact with the pack.
The resulting vanes were then given a chromium-inhibited aluminum diffusion coating from a diffusion coating pack in accordance with Example 3, but with the maximum heating temperature at 2050� F. maintained for 20 hours. The final vanes had an aluminized case approximately 6 mils deep which exhibited unusually high resistance to impact damage. The same aluminizing carried out on a non-depleted Mar-M-509 vane provides an aluminized case only about 3 mils thick and very brittle.
The Mar-M-509 alloy is a well known cobalt-base superalloy and its composition is given in U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,517. Other cobalt-base alloys such as the additional five listed in Table 1 of the last-mentioned patent also lend themselves to this improved procedure for coating with an impact-resistance protective aluminide case. In each instance the depletion should provide a weight loss from about 3 to about 75 milligrams per square centimeter of surface. No scale is formed on the workpiece surface as a result of the depleting step, and the scale removal operation referred to in U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,517 is not needed.
Instead of nickel alone as the metallic ingredient of the depleting pack, alloys of nickel with aluminum for example can be used, although a proportion of aluminum larger than that in Ni3 Al is not desired. The nickel or nickel alloy can also be replaced by cobalt, and any of these metals can be present in the depleting pack in a proportion of from about 10 to about 90% by weight, the remainder of the pack being either alumina or any other inert diluent such as magnesia, to keep the metal particles from sintering together. It is preferred that the metal particles be no greater than about 200 microns in size.
The retort can be of steel, stainless steel or nickel-base alloys, and its composition does not seem to affect the process so long as it does not contain low melting metals such as zinc.
The pack activator can be any halide diffusion activator including ammonium iodide, ammonium bromide, ammonium bifluoride, elemental iodide or bromine, etc., and its content can be as low as 1/8th of 1% of the pack by weight. The depleting temperature to which the cobalt-base superalloy or pieces are subjected in contact with the pack can be as low as 1600� F. or as high as 2200� F., and the depleting times can be as little as 2 hours to as much as 100 hours, the longer times being used with the lower temperatures and vice versa.
Instead of hydrogen atmosphere during the depletion, the atmosphere can be of inert gas such as argon. The activator provides a halide vapor upon heat-up and such vapor accelerates the depletion in much the same manner as it accelerates the diffusion coating of workpieces.
The more impact-resistant aluminized cobalt-base superalloy vanes and the like made in the foregoing manner are particularly desirable for use in jet engines such as those in aircraft where these articles are subject to impact damage, and make long-lived first stage hot section vanes.
Nickel-base superalloys also show the foregoing depletion when subjected to the foregoing diffusion depletion action, but protective diffusion aluminized cases on nickel-base superalloys are not nearly as brittle as those on cobalt-base superalloys, so that the aluminizing of the depleted nickel-base superalloys provides a case with only a little more impact resistance as compared with the aluminizing of untreated nickel base superalloys.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

These superb dolls were from Lloyderson in conjunction with Marin in Spain. The Standard of Elegance Series was to cover the four seasons of the year...but I was never able to find out from the distributor if Winter was ever released. (I was told that they moved their production to porcelain.)
From her darling hat to her toes Vanessa is dressed in white lace and pink satin. Strawberry blonde hair is done in tight curls; pearl earrings match the buttons on her dress.
Her hat is a confection in white braid topped with ruffled white satin ribbon, a white tulle pouf and a rosette of pink ribbon bows accented with pearls. A pink rose is tucked onto one side.
Her white lace dress is done in three tiers over a white taffeta slip trimmed on the underside with silver lace. The white lace poufy sleeves have ribbon cuffs; the look extends to the wrists where the sleeves end in swirled braid which matches the collar. She has pink shoes and white hose. A bit of a bustle helps the long pink satin ribbon sash stay in place.
The parasol is a work of art. Ruffled white lace is lined with more pink taffeta, an elegant gold braided handle and an end piece of silver and pearls. The detailing is fantastic!
The ink on her hangtag has almost faded away. It reads: "Vanessa 811 and 2/88." "Selection Line 1988 Production." There are initials at the bottom.
The workmanship on the Lloyderson line is always beautiful...the wigs are fantastic, and their method of stabilizing the doll onto the base is ingenious...running the post up through one shoe gives a "isn't it neat how they did that" feeling.
When you see a picture of one of these dolls, the proportion is so good that you look twice to see if it's a person or a doll. They are beautiful dolls!

Payment Terms
We operate on a fixed-price project basis and also on variable time-and-material basis.
Payment terms vary from project to project depending on the technology, complexity, resource requirements and duration of the project. Billing can be performed in two ways:
• Hourly – according to the amount of time spent by the team. Billing period can be defined as one week, two weeks or a month. Billing amount equals spent time multiplied by our rate.
• Retainer – we agree beforehand on the exact amount of time spent by each person in the team during the billing period. Thus the billing amount is known beforehand as well. Billing period can be defined as two weeks or a month.
Note : Business and payment terms are negotiable, depending on project scope and delivery timeline.

US for iRecallit iPhone App, Illinois
The experience and professionalism that the group at Seasia provide on a project such as with mobile platform development are exceptional. Their knowledge of iOS SDK gave me the confidence to pursue my idea of an educational tool called iRecallit now available as an application for Apple. The complexity of the application was apparent and they worked through many issues that appeared. I surely plan on continuing with further development on the iRecallit application and I look forward to Seasia working with the next phase. My thanks to the team. John"

South Canterbury have right man - chairman
Relevant offers
South Canterbury Rugby Union chairman Brent Isbister is confident the right man was appointed to coach the Heartland team in 2014.
Incumbent Chester Scott beat off strong challenges from former Highlanders assistant coach Barry Matthews and former All Black Victor Simpson, surprising some local rugby pundits.
Isbister said the three independent panel members were unanimous that Scott should be the coach and the union agreed.
"They each had marking sheets and went to separate corners of the room and all came up with the same result."
The conspiracy theorists were wrong. Anyone querying the integrity of the panel was doing so without foundation, he said.
Isbister said while the union had a philosophy of developing local coaches, no instruction had been given to the panel or discussed by the board, that the job should go to a local.
"The panel were provided with a job description, the coaches' CVs and asked to make a recommendation."
Matthews however claims he was told by by the panel chair Dave Perrin he was not local enough.
"It's a kick in the teeth really after playing 97 games for South Canterbury, to be told you are not a local."
Matthews said while he lived out of the province he had indicated he was selling his farm and was likely to return.
"I helped out with both Waimate and Roncalli last year, my heart has always been in South Canterbury."
Simpson said he was told by Perrin that basically he was too advanced for South Canterbury rugby. The former All Black said he took it on the chin but believed Matthews should have got the job.
"Eight times he has never been outside a semi-final in Heartland and divisional rugby, that is an outstanding record."
Simpson said if they wanted to reappoint Scott they should have done that without wasting the other candidates' time.
Isbister defended Perrin by stating there were always two sides to a conversation. Isbister said he had earlier declared a conflict of interest as he was from the same club as Scott and had been coached by him.
"That's why I wasn't on the panel and Grant Norton was."
Isbister said any queries regarding Perrin's relationship with Scott were also without foundation.
"Dave's probably the best qualified person in the South Island to be on the panel."
Isbister confirmed that Scott and Perrin had a history together, but Perrin had dealt with most coaches at representative level in the South Island. "In the end the union had full confidence in the panel and their decision."
Perrin did not return calls.
Matthews' supporters point out that when he was with North Otago over three seasons they made the top four each time and also won the Meads Cup, the top honour in the Heartland Championships.
Scott has never finished better than fifth in the Heartland Championships after four years with the team, two in charge and two as assistant to Simon Scott.
By contrast, South Canterbury have only made it once into the top four, under Ken Wills and Barry Fairbrother back in 2009.
This was despite the union's size and playing numbers compared with other Heartland provinces.
Isbister said the panel would have considered each coaches' success record.
"No doubt they would have had a view but the strong emphasis was on the plan going forward."
Matthews had also named Grant McFarlane as his assistant and had a manager in place.
Simpson was going in with Mark Meates, who he coached New Zealand Universities with and also spent a year in Japan.
Scott had not named an assistant but is understood to be favouring South Canterbury Sevens coach Gareth Burgess, with confirmation likely before Christmas.
Isbister had previous stated the interview focus was on the head coach only, not the package.
Scott has been appointed for two years but will also face a review of his performance after 2014 season.

- Sadhana: The actor with the timeless elegance, the fringe and that outfit
Government today won the approval of Parliament to its controversial decision of allowing FDI in multi-brand retail with a motion against it being defeated convincingly in Rajya Sabha, as BSP voted in favour of UPA.
123 members voted against the motion while 109 voted in favour after a two-day animated debate during which the Opposition attacked the proposal to allow 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail, while the government strongly justified it saying it was in the best interest of the country.
Samajwadi Party, which has nine members in the House, staged a walkout expressing dissatisfaction over Commerce Minister Anand Sharma's reply.
The defeat of the motion moved by AIADMK member V Maitreyan in the Rajya Sabha came two days after the Lok Sabha voted out a similar motion, paving the way for entry of global supermarkets like Walmart into the country.
The government's victory in Rajya Sabha, where UPA lacks a majority of its own, came with the help of 15-member BSP, which had walked out of the Lok Sabha during voting on the issue. UPA has 94 members in the Upper House which has an effective strength of 244.
Sachin Tendulkar, nominated member who is playing test match in Kolkata, Murli Deora (Cong), who is unwell, and rebel BJD leader Pyari Mohan Mahapatra were absent.
Replying to the debate, Maitreyan insisted that majority of the House was not in favour of FDI in multi-brand retail.
He said voting did not take place on "merits of the issue, but other considerations...It is a victory of the minority."
Earlier, Sharma maintained that the move was essential for the country's growth and rejected the opposition contention that it would hurt the small retailers and farmers and harm the manufacturing sector.
The division of votes was marred by some technical glitches because of which the exercise had to be done again. The animated debate saw clashes between government and the opposition as the sides put forth their arguments and counter arguments.

When I start dragging this kind of element hover my droppable containers (the cells of my table), the "hot" point to know where the element will be dropped is the middle of itself.
Unfortunately, the middle of my element is often not visible and it is not useful to drop the element in the right place.
Is it possible to specify the cursor position to choose in which container the element will be drop instead the middle of the elements?
I am really stuck and I will really appreciate any help.

KILLINGTON A local man was arrested Saturday following a complaint from a motorist who said Norman Corbin tried to force the driver off the road on Roaring Brook Road.

Boosting metabolism and losing weight is a top priority for millions of people. Every day, it seems there is a new weight loss pill or diet shake that promises to increase metabolism and make weight loss dreams come true.
At the same time, these products are being recalled over reports of liver damage or heart problems in those who took the diet product.
There's no reason to fall for another fad diet or miracle metabolism drug again. There are many natural and healthy vitamins to increase metabolism and aid in weight loss without any risk.
Here are some of the best metabolism boosters:
The recent popularity of energy drinks that have high doses of B vitamins and Taurine have brought the value of B vitamins and B Complex to the forefront of the health industry. Studies have shown that daily doses of vitamin B12, B6 and thiamine are great metabolism boosters and also decrease levels of fatigue, improves mood, promote cellular renewal and improves digestion. Although many foods contain vitamin B, the best way to get a good dose is by taking a supplement.
There is no need to worry about taking too much vitamin B since the body will get rid of the excess amounts it does not need. The daily recommended amount of B vitamins is 1000mcg. Even though B12 and B6 are great supplements, a B Complex supplement will provide both of these vitamins as well as a good dose of calcium. Besides energy drinks and tablets.
Vitamin B can be found in:

There can't be enough good things said about Vitamin C. The benefits of this nutrient are immeasurable in the human body. Regarding weight loss and speeding up one's metabolism, vitamin C aids in digestion and excretion of toxins. Keeping one's digestive tract functioning well will prevent the body from storing food and thus, gaining weight. Also, the kidneys, liver, stomach, prostate and colon greatly benefit from high doses of vitamin C. When all of these organs are working at top speed, one's metabolism naturally kicks into gear and speeds up as well.
Great sources of vitamin C are:
- limes
- lemons
- oranges
- orange juice
- bell peppers
- broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Grapes
- Cantaloupes
- Grapefruits
- Pineapples
An adequate level of Magnesium is directly linked with a peak-performing metabolism. As the body ages, it takes out less levels of magnesium from the foods we eat. So, it is mandatory that we take additional magnesium supplements as we age. It is also very important to load up on green leafy vegetables and healthy seafood to get enough magnesium.
This vitamin is also found in:
- almonds
- peanuts
- cashews
- pecans
- macadamia nuts
- collard greens
- green beans
Vitamin D works in an indirect way to increase metabolism. Vitamin D comes naturally from the sun. Although it is wise that we always wear heavy amounts of sunscreen to protect from skin cancer, we are also losing exposure to vitamin D by doing so. In other words, when we wear sunscreen, our bodies do not absorb vitamin D. So, it is mandatory that we take daily supplements of vitamin D to reap the metabolism rewards. Vitamin D boosts mood levels and can cause an overall feeling of well-being. When we naturally feel good, our bodily functions stabilize and support our feelings of rejuvenation and great energy.
Also, we don't turn to fatty foods or alcoholic beverages for comfort and happiness when we have overall good feelings. In this way, vitamin D is a great metabolism booster. Vitamin D should always be taken along with calcium since vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium.
Vitamin D is found in:
- tuna
- mackerel
- sardines
- swordfish
- milk
- cheese
- eggs
- yogurt
- fish liver oil
- fortified orange juice
- fortified grape juice
