Title: Window mounted optical moisture sensor
Inventor: PURVIS MICHAEL B
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: Mounting of a sensing unit upon the interior surface of a vehicle windshield for detecting the presence of moisture upon the exterior surface and controlling operation of windshield wipers in response thereto is disclosed. The sensing unit comprises a block in which angularly oriented bores are disposed. Light pipes in a first set of the bores communicate with light sources for transmitting light to the outer surface of the windshield, and light pipes in a second set of the bores transmit light reflected from the outer surface to photo-detectors. The lower ends of the light pipes are coplaner with or raised slightly above the surface of the block which is to be secured to the windshield. The block is affixed to the interior surface of the windshield by a double faced adhesive interlayer which both securely adheres the block to the windshield surface and optically couples the light pipes to the windshield.

Title: Wrap-around carrier with flexible heel aperture
Inventor: SUTHERLAND ROBERT L
IPC: B65D71/20
Filed: 1994-06-24
Abstract: Means for holding the bottoms of petaloid shaped bottles in place in a wrap-around carrier. Side panel apertures include flaps connected to the side panel by fold lines which are inwardly curved at their upper portions. The lower portions of each pair of flaps extend toward each other so as to engage one or more support feet of the adjacent bottle and be forced out from the side panel thereby. The curved portion of the fold lines biases the flaps against the support feet, regardless of which portion of the feet engage the flaps, to assist in holding the bottles in place within the carrier. Fold lines extending from the flap edges to the flap fold lines and hook-shaped slits at the upper ends of the flaps allow the side flaps to flex lengthwise.

Title: High solids copolymer dispersion from a latex and its use in sealants
Inventor: BIDINGER GREGORY P
IPC: C08F291/00
Filed: 1995-10-04
Abstract: A method for polymerizing predominantly one or more acrylate and/or vinyl acetate monomers in the presence of a latex results in high solids dispersions of polymer particles with lower viscosities than traditionally observed. A significant wt. % of added monomers can be present in large particles, having nonspherical shapes. Some of the original latex particles are retained during the polymerization and these increase the solids content and lower the viscosity by packing in the interstices between large particles. The total polymer solids content can easily be varied from 70 to 92 or more wt. % which are higher than achieved in any previously reported aqueous polymerizations. The viscosities at very high solids contents become paste-like but the materials still are stable to storage and further handling without breaking the dispersion into an agglomerated polymer portion and released water. The dispersions are useful to form sealants, membranes, etc., either with or without other additives. A preferred use is as an acrylate water-based caulking compound where the high solids and thixotropy of the dispersion allows for formation of a water-based caulk with low shrinkage.

Top cylinders (46) are pressurised to move downwards their pistons (40) and hence a tube (38) which locks the rim of the container (24). The topmost cylinder (32) is then pressurised and its ram (36) is moved down to force the charge into the bottom cone (68) and into the injector unit (12). The design is simple and efficient.
