SUPERBA TVP Process
Heat setting is a term used in the textile industry to describe a thermal process usually taking place in either a steam atmosphere or a dry heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability and, very often, other desirable attributes like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or temperature resistance. Very often, heat setting is also used to improve attributes for subsequent processes. Heat setting can eliminate the tendency of undesirable torquing. At the winding, twisting, weaving, tufting and knitting processes, the increased tendency to torquing can cause difficulties in processing the yarn. When using heat setting for carpet yarns, desirable results include not only the diminishing of torquing but also the stabilization or fixing of the fiber thread. Both twist stabilization and stabilization of frieze effect are results of the heat setting process. Heat setting benefits staple yarns as well as bulked continuous filament (BCF) ya ...

Checker Superba
The Checker Superba was an automobile produced by Checker Motors Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan, between 1959 and 1963. The Superba used the Checker taxi cab bodies and were produced in two trim lines, standard and Custom, both in two body styles, a four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon. On the exterior of the Superba, the grille was composed of an arched center section, flanked two-chrome wings; engine compartment ventilation was through 24 rectangular sections located in the center of the grille. Parking lights were placed on two solid panels flanking the ventilation spaces and housed in round star-like housings. When the Checker Marathon was introduced in the fall of 1959 it was only marketed in New York and the states of New England. In February 1960 the Checker was introduced nationally. In 1962, the Superba received its only exterior change, a more sculptured front bumper raised up several inches. Additionally front fenders sculpturing was raised three inches. Lar ...

Persicaria Bistorta
''Bistorta officinalis'' (synonym ''Persicaria bistorta''), known as bistort, common bistort, European bistort, or meadow bistort, is a species of flowering plant in the dock family Polygonaceae native to Europe and northern and western Asia. Other common names include snakeroot, snake-root, snakeweed, and Easter-ledges. Description ''Bistorta officinalis'' is an herbaceous perennial growing to tall by wide. It has a thick, twisted rootstock which has probably given it its common name of snakeroot. The foliage is normally basal with a few smaller leaves produced near the lower end of the flowering stems. The leaves usually hairless; the basal ones are longish-oval with long winged stalks and rounded or heart-shaped bases; the upper ones are few and are triangular, tapered and stalkless. There are stipules at their base which are fused into a sheath surrounding the stem. The petioles are broadly winged. The inflorescence is a spike. The plant blooms from late spring into autu ...

Ulmus × Hollandica 'Superba'
The hybrid (biology), hybrid elm cultivar ''Ulmus × hollandica'' 'Superba' is one of a number of intermediate forms arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm ''U. glabra'' with a variety of Field Elm ''U. minor''. Boulger tentatively (1881) and Peter Shaw Green, Green more confidently (1964) equated it with a hybrid elm cultivated in the UK by William Masters (botanist), Masters at Canterbury in the early 19th century, known as "Masters' Canterbury Seedling" or simply the Canterbury Elm. John Claudius Loudon, Loudon examined a specimen sent by Masters and considered it a hybrid, calling it ''U. montana glabra major'' (not to be confused with ''U. major'' Smith, Ulmus × hollandica 'Major', ''U.'' × ''hollandica'' 'Major').Hanham, F. (1857)''A Manual for the Park''(Royal Victoria Park, Bath). Longman, London. Johann Gerd Krüssmann, Krüssmann (1962, 1984) and Green (1964), however, incorrectly equated Masters' Canterbury Elm with Osborne's Ulmus glabra 'Superba', ''U. montana'' ...

La Superba
La Superba (Y CVn, Y Canum Venaticorum) is a strikingly red giant star in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, and the red colour is very obvious in binoculars. It is a carbon star and semiregular variable. Visibility La Superba is a semiregular variable star, varying by about a apparent magnitude, magnitude over a roughly 160-day cycle, but with slower variation over a larger range. Periods of 194 and 186 days have been suggested, with a resonance between the periods. Y CVn is one of the reddest stars known, and it is among the brightest of the giant red carbon stars. It is the brightest of known Carbon star#The Revised Morgan–Keenan system, J-stars, which are a very rare category of carbon stars that contain large amounts of carbon-13 (carbon atoms with 7 neutrons instead of the usual 6). The 19th century astronomer Angelo Secchi, impressed with its beauty, gave the star its common name, which is now accepted by the Internatio ...
