Title: Self-crosslinking alkyd dispersion
Inventor: WILLHITE JOHN
IPC: C09D167/08
Filed: 2006-03-03
Abstract: A coating composition is produced by forming an aqueous dispersion of a crosslinking agent and a resin that comprises the reaction product of an alkyd polymer, an optional surfalkyd, diacetone acrylamide, another acrylate monomer and optionally aromatic monomers wherein the reaction product is neutralized with either ammonia or an amine. A coating of the aqueous dispersion on wood exhibits at least some of the following desired properties: rapid dry time, good tannin blocking, good resistance to picking up dirt, good hot box stability and good exterior durability. Additionally, the inventive coatings appear to provide improved crosslinking compared to coatings comprising resins not neutralized with an amine or ammonia and/or not containing a surfalkyd.

Title: Variable air volume ceiling diffuser
Inventor: DYCK ALFRED
IPC: F24F7/00
Filed: 2006-04-17
Abstract: A variable air volume ceiling diffuser includes a damper that is raised and lowered by a linkage that is controlled by a duct temperature sensor/actuator and one or more room temperature sensors/actuators. The linkage includes a heating slide movable for the heating mode and a cooling slide movable for the cooling mode. The duct temperature sensor/actuator selects the heating slide for movement by the room temperature sensors/actuators in the heating mode and selects the cooling slide for movement by the room temperature sensors/actuators in the cooling mode. The differential movement between the heating and cooling slides moves a roller that engages a profiled cam surface attached to two lever arms. As the roller moves along the cam surface, the lever arms pivot about their axis of rotation so that the damper moves upward to close the air inlet and downward to open the air inlet.
