Patent EP-0923625-A1 (EP)
Title: Stain resistant water-borne coating composition
Inventor: CAREY MICHELLE
IPC: C09D125/08
Filed: 1997-09-08
Abstract: Aqueous coating compositions are described where the binder includes an anionically stabilised addition polymerised polymeric dispersion. The monomers used to prepare the dispersion are acrylic acid and methacrylic acid as a carboxylic monomer and styrene, alpha methyl styrene or vinyl toluene as a hydrophobic high Tg aromatic monomer and an alkyl acrylate ester as a low Tg monomer. The relative weight proportions of the monomers are required to satisfy a formula. Blends of high and low Tg dispersions are also described. Paints formulated with the binders exhibit an excellent balance of stain resistance, tint strength and viscosity stability.

Title: Interferometer and method for compensation of dispersion or increase in spectral resolution of such an interferometer
Inventor: DULTZ WOLFGANG
IPC: G01J9/02
Filed: 1997-08-01
Abstract: A double-beam interferometer for electromagnetic radiation and a method for the compensation of dispersion or increase in the spectral resolution of such an interferometer. Using a polarizer, which is brought into the optical radiation path, a defined polarization state P½0 is produced for the electromagnetic partial waves flowing into the arms of the interferometer. This polarization state is wavelength-independent and can vary for both partial beams. Optical elements modify the polarization state P½0 of the electromagnetic partial waves as a function of wavelength lambd and each spectral component lambdi is coded with a polarization P½ (lambdi). An analyzer, fitted to the output of the interferometer, transmits an adjustable polarization state Pdet, whereby an additional wavelength-dependent phase difference gamma(lambd) occurs between the partial waves of the spectral components. gamma(lambd) can be adjusted to obtain compensation of dispersion or an increase in the spectral resolution of the interferometer.

Abstract: A scanning electron microscope is provided which
can achieve an improved detection efficiency in the
detection of secondary electrons without affecting an
electron beam for irradiating a specimen, and which is
suitable for detecting specific secondary electrons in a
specific energy range. Secondary electrons generated by
irradiation of specimen 8 with electron beam 14 are
decelerated by a decelerating electrical field formed by a
pair of electrodes 10, 11 of field generation unit 28.
Thereby, a portion of secondary electrons having a low
energy is repelled. Other secondary electrons not having
been repelled are deflected by a deflecting electrical
field formed between the pair of electrodes as well as by a
deflecting magnetic field which is orthogonal to the
deflecting electrical field, to be detected by secondary
electron detector 12. However, a portion of secondary
electrons having a higher energy which could not have been
deflected by the deflecting electrical field and deflecting
magnetic field cannot be detected by secondary electron
detector 12.

Abstract: In order to absorb the impact force produced when a
pinion (200, 96) meshes a ring gear (100, 39), a magnet switch
(600, 52) is disposed apart from a pinion (210, 96). The
distance between a plunger (610, 61) of the magnet switch
(600, 52) and a pinion rotation regulating member (230, 105)
is lengthened so that a link mechanism (680, 102) having an
elastic member such as a cord-shaped member (680) or a spring
(61a) is lengthened. As a result, the impact force produced
when the pinion (200, 96) meshes the ring gear (100, 39) can
be prevented from being directly transmitted to the plunger
(610, 61). Consequently, there is no vibration of the plunger
(610, 61) and a movable contact (611, 66) can be reliably
prevented from moving away from a fixed contact (69).

Abstract: Determination of anti-coagulation potential of a sample is carried out in the presence of exogeneous thrombomodulin. Determination of anti-coagulation potential of a sample in the presence of an exogenous thrombomodulin comprises: (a) adding to the sample exogenous thrombomodulin, which can form a protein C-activating-complex with thrombin, whereby the protein C can be exogenous or endogenous, an activator for thrombin, where the prothrombin is either endogenous or exogenous, phospholipids, calcium ions and other reagents for the optimization of the coagulation time test; (b) starting the prothrombin-activator reaction; and (c) determining the formation of thrombin by either measuring the time of thrombin formation, fibrin clot formation or formation of labeled thrombin. Independent claims are also included for: (1) a test kit used to carry out the method above; and (2) a method for determining anti-thrombin III activity of the protein C system of a sample, comprising the step described above.

Abstract: A flap (38) with the same number of label holding areas as container forming chambers (22) swivels from a first, upward facing position where it picks up labels to a second position in which each holding area is placed against a corresponding wall member (36) forming a second holding position. The base of each forming and labeling chamber has a slit (58) for transferring a label transported from the second holding position into a chamber. An Independent claim is made for a process for container manufacture and labeling in which a label strip (32) is moved onto an upward facing surface of a flap (38), labels are cut off and the flap swivels to a second holding position (54) in which the labels lie opposite an almost vertical wall member (36) of each forming chamber. Each label is transported from the second position through a slit (58) in the base of the forming and labeling chamber (22) into the latter. Preferred Features: The forming tool (20) moves vertically between a forming position and a container ejection position and the movements of the wall members and flap are linked to the block movements. Transporting systems (34) for feeding label strips have a feeding surface close to the first holding area of the flap when the latter is in the first position and the forming tool is in the ejection position. Labels are held on the flap and against the vertical wall of each chamber by suction. Each chamber has two transporting fingers sliding in almost vertical channels extending from each wall member to the slit in the chamber base. Cutters divide an initially broader label strip into several narrower strips from which individual labels are cut. Labels are precoated with a heat active adhesive which is activated by the heat in the container walls after thermoforming.

Abstract: A polysaccharide conjugate comprises a polysaccharide attached to a particle carrying
perfume, the polysaccharide conjugate being capable of binding to cellulose. Preferred
polysaccharides include tamarind seed xyloglucan, locust bean gum and enzyme modified
guar. Because the polysaccharide conjugate binds to cellulose, which is present in cotton
and other fabrics, paper, etc, binding of the conjugate to cellulose brings the perfume-bearing
particle into close proximity to a surface of or containing cellulose. The invention
thus enables targeting of perfume-bearing particles to such surfaces. The invention also
provides a product incorporating the polysaccharide conjugate of the invention. The
product is conveniently a laundry product such as a fabric washing product, eg a detergent
product, or a fabric conditioning product. The invention also provides a method of
targeting binding of a particle carrying perfume to cellulose by use of the polysaccharide
conjugate of the invention.
