Abstract: A toner for developing an electrostatic image includes: 100 wt. parts of a binder resin, 1 - 150 wt. parts of a colorant and a relatively large amount of 5 - 40 wt. parts of a low-softening point substance.        The toner is further characterized by viscoelastic properties including: a storage modulus at 60°C          (G'60) and a storage modulus at 80°C (G'80) providing a ratio (G' 60/G' 80) of at least 80, and a storage modulus at 155°C (G'155) and a storage modulus at 190 °C (G'190) providing a ratio (G'155/G'190)of 0.95 - 5.          As a result, the toner shows good low-temperature fixability and anti-offset characteristic, and also little temperature-dependence of gloss.

Title: A cardboard and/or paper based multilayer material
Inventor: BONIFACI LUIGI
IPC: B32B27/10
Filed: 1994-12-13
Granted: 2001-07-03
Abstract: The present invention is a multilayer material for making packages adequate for containing dry materials, which exhibits a superior moisture protection and prevents the migration of greasy compounds through an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer barrier layer. This migration, beyond leading stains and poor aesthetics, can jeopardize the strength of the package container. The multilayer material (10) of the present invention is glued together for reforming into a packaging container, and not, as more commonly, heat sealed. To achieve this aim, the EVOH layer (15) is sandwiched between two layers of cardboard or paper (11, 19). The EVOH layer is attached to the two layers of cardboard or paper by tie layers (13, 17) on either side. In this way the cardboard or paper layers of this multilayer material constitute the outermost layers. In reforming said multilayer material into a packaging container, starting from a single blank, the inner part of said container, made of cardboard or paper. can now be glued onto the outer part of said container, also made of cardboard or paper. The present invention does not need therefore more sophisticated assembling techniques, such as for example heat sealing, for the reforming into a packaging carton.

Abstract: Ducts are formed from rigid or semi-rigid insulation boards by forming a plurality of longitudinally extending, spaced apart, parallel kerfs in a first major surface of each of the insulation boards which is adapted to be the interior surface of the duct. When the insulation board is formed into a duct of the preselected dimensions, the shoulders of the kerfs adjoining the interior surface of the duct abut and, preferably, the insulation material in the shoulders of the kerfs is compressed. The flexibility of the insulation boards, in the direction of the widths of the insulation boards, is controlled by increasing the depths and/or the widths of the kerfs and/or decreasing the spacing between the kerfs to make the insulation board more flexible and by decreasing the depths and/or the widths of the kerfs and/or increasing the spacing between the kerfs to make the insulation board less flexible.

Abstract: A method for maintaining the position of a containment boom in a fast flowing waterway.   Firstly,  providing an elongate containment boom having a first side, a second side, a first end,  a second end and a longitudinal axis.   The containment  boom  consists  of  a  plurality  of  smaller substantially coaxial boom sections.  Secondly, providing a plurality of floats having floating deflector appendages. Thirdly, placing the plurality of floats at spaced intervals along the containment boom between the boom sections, with the floating deflector appendage of each float oriented on the first side of the containment boom extending outwardly at an angle  in relation to the  longitudinal  axis and pointing generally toward the second end.  Fourthly, positioning the containment boom in a fast flowing waterway with the second end anchored adjacent the shore and releasing the first end of the containment boom into the fast flowing waterway such that fast flowing water passing along the second side of the containment boom causes the first end of the containment boom to swing into the fast moving waterway until fast flowing water passing along the first side of the containment boom from the first end to the second end exerts an equalizing force upon the floating appendages to maintain the containment boom in a  static equilibrium within the fast flowing waterway.

Abstract: An in-cord detachable ear hanger for an in-ear phone is provided. The ear hanger can protect the in-ear phone from being pulled off position from the user's ear when the user or any nearby person accidentally pulls the cable connected to the earphone set in a jerked manner. The ear hanger includes a shank body, a substantially hook-like portion, and a cable grasping means in substantially anchor-like shape. The hook-like portion is shaped in such a manner as to snugly fit to the back of a user's ear. The cable grasping means can grasp a selected portion of the cable, by which a margin length of the cable is left between the ear hanger and the speaker element inserted in the user's ear. During use of the in-ear phone, when any part of the cable other than the margin length is pulled in a jerked manner, the ear hanger would be pulled off the ear, but in most of the cases the speaker element would still stay in position in the user's ear.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs)(162) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe (150), such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light-emitting element such as a light--emitting diode.
