The rubberized textile material for a belt textile ply is provided on at least one side of a textile web with a peroxidically crosslinkable ethylene-alpha-olefin-diene terpolymer rubber mixture, preferably an EPDM mixture. In this rubberization mixture the third monomer content (diene content) of the EPDM is preferably at least 4% and the rubber mixture contains: a peroxidic crosslinker, a mineral oil having an aromatics proportion of at least 50 percent by weight and at least one reactive phenol and/or reactive phenol resin capable of binding to the double bonds of unsaturated polymers. The reactive phenol and/or phenol resin and the mineral oil are present in the rubber mixture in a content of altogether 5 to 60 phr. The rubberization has an exceptional manufacturing tack coupled with good adhesion and good dynamic properties.

A method of inspecting cased goods includes advancing at least one case of goods on a conveyor, generating an illumination sheet of parallel illuminating rays with at least one electromagnetic source, and capturing an image, formed by the illumination sheet passing through a diffuser with at least one camera located so as to capture illumination from diffused parallel rays of the light sheet, where the image case embodies a goods image that is generated by the case goods moving between the light source and the at least one camera, where part of the parallel sheet of light is at least partially blocked by the case of goods, thus generating a gray level image.

A tire-enhancement product has a container comprising a dissolvable packaging material; and a solute encased in the container that is inert to the solute. The container is configured to be placed in an interior volume of a tire, to which solvent can be added. The container is configured to dissolve when placed in a predetermined solvent, and the solute is configured to mix with the solvent to form a tire-enhancement mixture.

A proppant delivery assembly receives and supports a plurality of containers having proppant stored therein. A cradle has a top surface which receives and supports the plurality of containers when positioned thereon. The cradle enables the plurality of containers to dispense the proppant stored therein. A proppant mover is positioned to underlie and extend along the top surface of the cradle aligned with the plurality of containers to receive proppant from the plurality of containers. The proppant mover carries proppant away from the plurality of containers. A chute is coupled to the cradle for receiving proppant from the proppant mover and directing the proppant to a blender hopper. A hood assembly is disposed at an end of the chute opposite the proppant mover for directing a vacuum air flow that removes a volume of air containing proppant dust particles directed from the chute. The hood assembly includes a curtain extending about a perimeter of the hood assembly and downward therefrom to at least partially define the volume of air being removed by the hood assembly.
