Patent FI-934867-A (FI)
Inventor: LAVOIE ALVIN CHARLES
IPC: C09D7/65
Filed: 1993-11-03
Abstract: This invention relates to a non-aqueous coating composition and a method for reducing the drying time of a non-aqueous coating composition by incorporating composite polymer particles having a softer, insoluble first stage and a hard second stage without adversely affecting the viscosity and pot life of the liquid coating composition and without degrading the properties of the final dry coating, including color, flexibility, impact resistance, gasoline resistance, salt spray resistance and humidity resistance. The method enables resin manufacturers and coating formulators to reduce the volatile organic content (VOC) of their products without increasing the drying time for the coatings and without adversely affecting the viscosity and pot life of the liquid coating composition and without degrading the properties of the final dry coating, including color, flexibility, impact resistance, gasoline resistance, salt spray resistance and humidity resistance.

Inventor: HARRIS JR GEORGE W
IPC: A61Q19/00
Filed: 1996-06-28
Abstract: Multiple hair removal system includes an adhesive layer, a structural layer disposed adjacent the adhesive layer, and a conductive material. The conductive material functions to provide power from a power source to hairs to be treated that extend up through the adhesive layer and contact the conductive material. A method of removing multiple hairs and inhibiting future hair growth includes the steps of applying a conductive solution to the skin, pressing on an adhesive layer, applying power for a period of time sufficient to destroy the matrix area of the hair, and allowing the treated hair to either be removed immediately or to stay in the skin for a period of time sufficient for the chemical reaction induced at the matrix area to continue long enough to destroy the matrix area and prevent regrowth of the hair.

Title: Improvements in or relating to filamentous structures
Inventor: THOMAS GWILYM GARROD
IPC: D01F8/04
Filed: 1963-01-11
Abstract: 984,919. Crimped composite filaments. BRITISH NYLON SPINNERS Ltd. Dec. 12, 1963 [Jan. 11, 1963], No. 1313/63. Heading B5B. Crimped composite filaments are made by melt-extruding a plurality of high molecular weight synthetic linear polymers, at least one of which is a "reactive " polymer (as defined) and at least one of which is an " unreactive " polymer (as defined) so as to form united composite filaments, treating the composite filaments for not more than 45 minutes with a hot non-aqueous acid alcoholic formaldehyde solution (as defined), washing the treated composite filaments and drawing them in the solid state. The formaldehyde solution is defined as a liquid mixture of formaldehyde, an acid or an acid-reacting salt producing a hydrogen ion concentration equivalent to that of an acid in aqueous medium having a dissociation constant of at least 10<SP>-4</SP> at 25‹ C., and an aliphatic alcohol, the mixture being heated to between 50‹ and 100‹ C. Instead of formaldehyde, a formaldehyde-releasing substance may be used, e.g. paraformaldehyde. Specified acids are hydrochloric, sulphuric, chloroacetic, dichloro-acetic, maleic, orthophosphoric, oxalic, lactic, citric and p-toluene sulphonic acids. Specified salts are ammonium chloride and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. Specified alcohols are ethylene glycol, glycol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol. " A reactive " polymer is one whereof an undrawn filament when treated for not more than 45 minutes with the above-defined formaldehyde solution, is modified such that the elastic recovery from a 100% extension with a rate of extension of 10% per minute is increased to at least 90%. An " unreactive " polymer is one on which the elastic extension remains below 50% when treated as above. The polymers, whether " reactive " or " unreactive " may be e.g. polyureas, polyurethanes, polyesters, polytriazoles and polyamides. After the formaldehyde treatment, which causes the " reactive " component of the filament to be elasticized, the composite filament may be washed with water, aqueous alcohol, or dilute alkali. After drying and drawing, the composite filaments are crimped owing to the selective elastomerization of some of the component polymers. The filaments may then be set by heat-treatment. The filaments may be of side-by-side or sheath core type. The formaldehyde solution may be applied to the filaments continuously.

Abstract: 912,691. Control systems for X-ray apparatus. SIEMENS - REINIGER - WERKE A.G. Jan. 15, 1960 [Jan. 16, 1959], No. 1639/60. Class 38 (4). A control system for an X-ray apparatus comprises means for changing the emission current of the X-ray tube during an exposure by changing the filament current from a high to a low value. The character of an exposure is determined by the value of the voltage supplied to the anode of the X-ray tube 3 which voltage is set by adjustment of the output voltage of a transformer 1 by means of a selector 4, operation of which simultaneously sets the emission current of the tube by adjusting the voltage output of a transformer 6 and hence the voltage applied to the heater of the X-ray tube 3. Initiation of an exposure is effected by manual operation of a device 13 which causes contacts 12 to close to apply voltage to the anode of the tube. After a part of the exposure time has expired the filament circuit is broken by opening of contacts 15 and at the same time contacts 17 open to insert a resistor 18 into the anode circuit. After a predetermined time contacts 16 close to re-establish the filament circuit through a resistor 14 whereby the exposure is continued with a reduced emission current. Finally, contacts 12 open to end the exposure. The reduction in the emission current may be arranged in more than one stage. An exposure timer 8 with a sensing member 9 may be provided whereby the exposure may be automatically terminated and a device such as a Bucky diaphragm may also be included.
