Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is an adhesive composition formed from two packs. One packs includes an isocyanate-functional prepolymer formed by reacting a polyisocyanate with an alcohol ( e.g., polyol). The isocyanate equivalents from the polyisocyanate exceed the hydroxyl equivalents from the alcohol. The second pack is an aqueous polymer emulsion. These two packs are combined to form the novel adhesive composition. Another aspect of the invention is a method for joining together two surfaces of wood products by application of an adhesive thereto. The first step in this method is to mist with water the wood product surfaces to be joined. An adhesive composition then is applied to the misted wood product surfaces. Alternatively, the water misting can be replaced with an aqueous emulsion being part of the adhesive composition. Finally, the adhesive composition is cured.

Abstract: A vacuum assisted priming system for a fluid pump that includes a housing defining a hopper that communicates with an inlet to the fluid pump to be primed. The housing mounts a first port that communicates with the source of vacuum and a second port that communicates with atmosphere. A check valve associated with the second port allows atmospheric air to flow into the housing under certain operating conditions but prevents reverse flow. A valve member is pivotally mounted within a valve chamber forming part of the housing and carries first and second sealing elements engage able with first and second seats forming part of the first and second ports, respectively. The lever arm is operatively connected to a float located within the hopper by an actuating rod, via a lost motion connection. When the fluid level in the hopper rises to a predetermined level, the actuating rod moves the lever arm to a first sealing position at which the first sealing element engages the first seat of the first port. When the fluid level falls to a predetermined level, the actuating rod moves the lever arm to a second sealing position at which the second sealing element engages the second seat forming part of the second port. A baffle located at an inlet to the hopper reduces surging and turbulence in the hopper and includes a apertured support plate and a spider-like diverter mounted to the support plate. The baffle defines a circuitous path through which the fluid must flow in order to enter the hopper.

Abstract: The objective is to offer increased flexibility in allocation of telephone numbers and achieve liberation from the restrictions on the total number of dial-in numbers. When at a server a receiver receives request information from a cellular phone as a requestor (S01), a subaddress recognizer recognizes a subaddress included in the received request information (S02) and an address converter converts the recognized subaddress to an IP address on the basis of predetermined conversion correspondence information (S03). Then a data retriever retrieves content data correlated with the IP address obtained by the conversion, from a service DB (S04) and a data output part outputs the content data to the requestor cellular phone (S05). The use of subaddresses attached to telephone numbers increases the number of numbers that can be allocated, and thereby achieves the liberation from the restrictions on the total number of dial-in numbers, and a service provider is allowed to allocate subaddresses at the discretion thereof, which offers increased flexibility in allocation of numbers.
