Title: Ultraviolet curable resin compositions having enhanced shadow cure properties
Inventor: GREGORY SCOTT
IPC: C08F4/34
Filed: 2000-06-27
Abstract: This invention is of a resin composition including an additive of one or more organic peroxide thermal imitators to cationic photoinitiators, that are sensitized with alpha-hydroxy-ketones, which composition provides a self-propagating thermal curing reaction first activated by a short duration of surface ultraviolet radiation. The thermal reaction is non-directional, thus eliminating the line of sight limitation of current radiation curing processes. Complete curing can be achieved of the composition in a very short time; often after only a few minutes or less. The activation period can be provided by only a few seconds of ultraviolet light using a wide variety of commercial ultraviolet light sources.

Title: Spacer for insulated windows having a lengthened thermal path
Inventor: PETERSON WALLACE H
IPC: E06B3/663
Filed: 2000-07-18
Abstract: A spacer frame bar for insulated windows or other insulated glass panels. The bar includes a tubular spacer member having first and second side webs for engaging the spaced apart glass panes, and upper and lower webs spanning between the side webs.  The upper web is provided with a series of vertical corrugations, which serve to increase the length of the thermal conductive path across the upper web. The corrugations are also arranged so that only the upper edges thereof are exposed to sunlight passing through the window, thereby minimizing thermal gain due to absorption of solar radiation.  Staggered rows of slits may be formed in the channels of the corrugations to as to further increase the length of the conductive path. The channels may also be filled with an insulating material, such as a resilient foam material. The invention also provides a two-piece construction in which the top web clips onto the upper edges of the side webs.

The process enables to increase the low-molecular olefins yield.
Patent CA-2324066-A1 (CA)
Title: Dynamic range extension of wideband receiver
Inventor: OBERHAMMER WOLFGANG
IPC: H04B1/28
Filed: 2000-10-23
Abstract: A digitizer with increased dynamic range is provided by applying varying gains/attenuations to an input signal and feeding the resulting scaled signals to several conventional analog-to-digital converters to be digitized. The digitized version of the largest scaled signal which does not result in its respective analog-to-digital converter from saturating is selected by a multiplexer to be fed through as the digitizer output. Each of the gains(attenuations) differ by multiples of approximately 6 dB, since one bit in an ADC represents this value. The multiplexer outputs a digital sample size which is larger than that of the analog-to-digital converters and with the selected digitized version being output as the appropriate subset of the larger sample size to account for the gain(attenuation) of the selected signal. Preferably, this is used in a wideband receiver to increase the dynamic range of the receiver.

Patent CA-2326115-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UGOLICK RONALD
IPC: C09J7/35
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: PSA label constructions of this invention comprise a low material cost, thin prelaminate PSA construction having a layer of pressure-sensitive material disposed on a release surface of a removable substrate, and a nonblocking nonpreformed film material is disposed over a surface of the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive to form a continuous film thereover that renders the pressure-sensitive adhesive tack free. The pressure-sensitive material and nonpreformed film material can be applied simultaneously or sequentially. An optically transparent overlaminate film layer is optionally disposed over the nonblocking continuous film, and a printed indicia is interposed between the overlaminate film layer and nonblocking continuous film. The prelaminate PSA  construction does not include a preformed facestock formed from paper, cardboard or plastic, and is highly conformable. The overlaminated film layer can be applied to the prelaminate faceless PSA construction by pressure lamination, via a further PSA layer interposed between continuous film and the overlaminate film layer, or by heat and pressure by forming one of the continuous film or overlaminate film layers from a heat-activatable material that itself forms a laminating adhesive surface. Alternatively, the overlaminate film layer can be applied to the prelaminate PSA construction in the form of a film-forming material. The overlaminated PSA construction has a sufficient Gurley stiffness to permit high-speed converting and dispensing by peel plate equipment without sacrificing the high degree of conformity provided by the underlying prelaminate PSA construction.

Title: Brake actuator service limit sensor
Inventor: RUNELS THOMAS LEE
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: A brake actuator having a switch device mounted to an actuator housing with a C-shaped molded body and a C-shaped spring member partially surrounding an actuator rod and adapted to contact a large diameter section of the actuator rod when brake wear causes the actuator rod to travel to a service limit position. In normal operation the spring member is separated from a small diameter section of the actuator rod. The switch device is mounted at an open end of the molded body and spring member and comprises first and second electrical contacts which extend and electrically contact each other as long as the brake actuator rod has not traveled to the service limit. When the push rod ahs traveled to its service limit, a large diameter portion of the push rod forces the contacts apart thus opening the electric circuit.
