Patent JP-H086056-B2 (JP)
IPC: C08F291/00
Filed: 1987-11-06
Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of water-insoluble core-shell particles is prepared by emulsion polymerization for use as an opacifying agent in coatings. The particles have interior cores which are swollen with nonaqueous solvent. The polymeric exterior shells have a glass transition temperature greater than about 50 DEG C in the presence of the nonaqueous solvent. The partition coefficient for the nonaqueous solvent between the interior core polymer phase and the exterior shell polymer phase is at least about 1.25. Coatings compositions formulated using the core-shell particles show increased opacity, as single light scattering microvoids are formed in individual particles when the solvent evaporates and the core collapses inside the rigid exterior shell. Opacity develops even when aqueous coatings containing the particles are dried under high humidity conditions.

Abstract: A power conversion apparatus (20) circuit includes pairs of rectifying devices (48,49) connected together at a first node, a pair of capacitors (50, 51) connected together at a second node, and pairs of controllable switching devices (53,54) connected together at a third node, each of the pairs being connected in parallel by DC bus lines (58,59). The AC power source (21) is connected between the first and second nodes and the output voltage to a load (22) is provided between the first and third nodes. The switching devices (53,54) are controlled to switch on and off at proper times to provide a controllable output voltage to the load (22) which is at the same frequency as the input voltage and which may be controlled from zero to substantially twice the peak-to-peak input voltage. The output voltage waveform provided to the load can be filtered to provide a substantially sinusoidal waveform to the load. The power conversion apparatus (20) can also function as an uninterruptible power system by connecting an energy storage device, such as a large capacitor (140) or a battery (146) across the DC bus lines (58,59), and by controlling the charging of the energy storage device when power is available for the source and discharging the storage device when the power source fails. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The components of the coupling for pressure lines are a female coupling (1) and a male coupling (2). The female coupling (1) has two adjacent axial bores (3; 4) of different diameters. An annular groove (5) around the smaller bore (4) is formed coaxially with the bores (3; 4) from the larger bore (3) side. When the coupling components (1; 2) are fitted together, the male coupling (2) is inserted into the bore (3) of the female coupling (1). Here, the male coupling (2) is pushed over the nipple (6) formed by the annular groove (5) and the smaller bore (4). The seal fitted in the male coupling (2) sealingly engages the smooth outer surface (7) of the nipple (6). The shape of the female coupling (1) and the mating male coupling (2) makes coupling and uncoupling with a predetermined flow cross section possible with less force than with prior art couplings.

Abstract: An embossing machine and method is provided in which the mass of the carriage assembly carrying the card to and from various operations in the machine is significantly reduced by the utilization of a card carrying carriage mounted for movement in one direction from side to side on the machine via a stationary motor. The carriage is mounted on a guide bar which, together with the carriage, moves from the front to the back of the machine via a stationary motor. A new card supply hopper is arranged to stack cards vertically and feed them to the carriage one-by-one as the carriage approaches the hopper. An embossing assembly is operated by a single interposer arranged in a crank drive or two interposers arranged between actuating levers and the rams of associated male and female embossing wheels. A topper assembly minimizes foil usage by winding up only that foil which has been used during the topping of the previous card. The embossed and topped card is fed to a stacking assembly either through an arrangement of wires which causes the card to waterfall into a stacker channel or to slide into contact with a pivoting loader which pivots the card into a stacker channel.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler comprises a piston (3) which is mounted in a cavity (2) within a body (1), and is urged by a pre-loaded spring (6) into a reduced cross-section pressure chamber (4). The piston (3) may be loaded by means of an actuating rod (31) having a handle (32), and may be latched in a loaded position by a latching means (33). A liquid drug (e.g. in aqueous solution) is contained in a collapsible bag (10). Metered quantities of the drug are successively presented in the pressure chamber (4), and then subjected to a sudden and great increase in pressure, to eject the liquid drug through an atomising head (22), to reduce it to a fine atomised spray of small mean particle size - for example, less than 30 micrometres. Non-return valves (13 and 23) control the flow of liquid through the device. The sudden pressure pulse is caused by releasing the spring loaded piston (3), upon depressing an actuating button (35) connected to the latching means (33). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for selectively combining numerous audio tracks recorded on an optical disk (23), including subtracting, by phase inversion, particular tracks from a full mix. Each track might contain a recording of an individual instrument, or a group of instruments. When the disk (23) is played, the player provides the user with menu choices (79) - which tracks should be played and mixed together. In this way, the user can create his/her own orchestral mix, perhaps omitting an instrument in a "play along" application, or playing one instrument alone to be mimicked for practice purposes. The disk (23) further includes track definitions in multiple languages (79) so that the same disk (23) can be distributed throughout the world, with menu choices (79) being given in a language selected by the user. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The subject invention provides a polymer mixture having high heat resistivity, low hexane extractive and controllably lower or higher modulus. The mixture is comprised of at least one first substantially linear ethylene polymer, Component (A), and at least one second ethylene polymer which is a homogeneously branched polymer, heterogeneously branched linear polymer or a non-short chain branched linear polymer. When fabricated into film, the mixture is characterized by a heat seal initiation temperature which is substantially lower than its Vicat softening point as well as a high ultimate hot tack strength. When fabricated as a molded article, the mixture is characterized by high microwave warp distortion while maintaining a lower modulus. The polymer mixture is particularly well-suited for use in multilayer film structures as a sealant layer for such applications as cook-in packages, hot-fill packages, and barrier shrink films. In molding applications, the mixture is well-suited as freezer-to-microwave food storage containers and lids which maintain good flexibility at low temperature to allow easy openability of such containers.
