Patent EP-0235990-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOENIG RAYMOND
IPC: C08G59/14
Filed: 1987-02-13
Abstract: Epoxy resins containing both terminal hydroxyl groups and epoxy-derived groups are prepared by advancing a polyepoxide with a polyol and terminating the reaction at a point such that the epoxy resin reaction product contains both epoxy and terminal hydroxyl groups. The epoxy groups are then further reacted to form epoxy-derived groups and the rate of curing is further improved. The resulting epoxy resins exhibit lower melt and solution viscosities than those exhibited by conventional epoxy resins having the same epoxy equivalent weight, as well as curing quickly when used. The resins are usefully employed at high solids levels in can coating formulations and other epoxy formulations wherein the resin is applied from an organic liquid solution or aqueous dispersion.

Abstract: The invention is particularly suitable for use in the production of pile fabrics incorporating natural woollen fibres. A continuous length of pile fibre is fed from feed means 18 and wound around the length of a rotatable course former 14. Adhesive is applied to a narrow face of the wound pile fibre through adhesive nozzle 52, said narrow face then being pressed against a backing sheet 114 by rams 148. The pile fibre, when stuck on the backing sheet 114, is then cut free from the course former 14 by cutting means 92 directed towards the other narrow face of the course former 14. The width of each of the wide faces of the course former 14 corresponds to the length of the pile fibre projecting from the backing sheet 114. The process is repeated in synchronism with indexed advance of the backing sheet 114 to provide a plurality of courses of the pile fibre thereon.

Date Feb. 9, 1989.In a method, especially for stripping enamel and removing coatings from objects, the advantages of a solvent treatment are to be retained, without having to put up with the disadvantages of contaminating the environment. This is accomplished essentially by using in a closed treating vessel a treating mixture with at least a preponderance of a solvent with a proportion of water in excess of that required for an azeotropic mixture and carrying out the treatment while boiling the treating mixture. After the treating mixture is removed from the vessel, any solvent components still present are distilled off azeotropically from the system with water and removed before the vessel is opened.

Abstract: An arrangement in a television receiver in which a sychronized external power stage supplies operating voltage to a remote-control receiver and a microprocessor connected thereto. A horizontal drive circuit is controlled by the microprocessor, and a horizontal end stage is connected to the horizontal drive circuit. The external power stage supplies power during stand-by operation only to the remote-control receiver and microprocessor along with the voltage for operating the horizontal drive circuit and the end stage. Thyristors are connected to the external power stage for supplying power to all other circuit stages in the television receiver. The thyristors have gate electrodes activated by the horizontal end stage for cutting off the thyristors during the stand-by operation and interrupting the supply of power to all other circuit stages in the television receiver, for minimizing the power consumption of the television receiver.

Abstract: A system for storing, cleaning, and sterilizing soft and rigid contact lens. The system utilizes the circulation of cleaning fluid to clean lens which are suspended. The system consists of a container for housing a pair of off-set lens carriers and for functioning as a chamber for cleaning and sterilizing; a cap with apertures for providing a generally water-tight seal for the container and for supporting the lens carriers, and a base/pump housing connected to the bottom of the container for retaining the cleaning fluid and providing a pump mechanism for propelling the cleaning fluid into the cleaning chamber. The container has a floor with a plurality of angled apertures for providing a helically shaped spray of cleaning fluid onto the lens carriers upon manipulation of the base and pump housing. The base/pump housing attached to the bottom of the container is a flexible housing for storing the cleaning fluid and for providing a pump mechanism upon compression for forcing the cleaning fluid through the angled apertures into the cleaning chamber. An interior vessel is provided for water-tight attachment with the cover within the cleaning chamber to retain the two lens carriers side by side during storage. The lens carriers consist of two generally parallel mesh concave surfaces for retaining the contact lens. The mesh surface has a plurality of openings for allowing impact of cleaning fluid onto the retained contact lens. An electrically driven pump actuator may be utilized to cyclically compress the base and pump housing for irrigating the retained lens for a specified period of time.

Abstract: A blanket assembly (30) has an outer layer (33) constructed of a relatively close weave fabric preventing air flow therethrough. Underneath the top layer is a second layer (35) of material edge connected to the top layer and which is constructed of a material permeable to air, such as relatively thin taffeta, for example. A cavity (36) exists between the two layers which receives pressurized cooled or heated air that passes through the air permeable layer (35) to cool or heat the individual using the blanket assembly. A modified blanket assembly construction includes rigid edge wall members (54, 55) holding the outer and inner layers separated at a predetermined spacing reducing "pinch-off" between the layers restricting air flow within parts of the cavity or chamber (56). Peltier effect elements (98) are selectively energizable to heat or cool air provided to the blanket assembly cavity.

IPC: B05D3/06
Filed: 1988-02-18
Abstract: A method for forming three-dimensional objects comprises irradiating with a source (24) an uncured photopolymer (11) by transmitting an effective amount of photopolymer solidifying radiation through a radiation transmittant material (13, 16, and 23) with areas of different opacity (18-22) which leaves the irradiated surface capable of further cross-linking so that when a subsequent portion of solid object (25) is formed it will adhere thereto. In another embodiment other means of preserving subsequent cross-linking are used instead of the transmittant material. Using either method three-dimensional objects (25) can be made layer by layer or point by point.

Abstract: A latch mechanism (146) for locking an actuator arm (160) in a disk drive (36) includes a latch (184) pivotably supported in the disk drive for engaging the actuator arm and an electromagnet (183) for capturing and holding the latch to disengage the latch from the actuator arm. A spring (188) is provided to bias the latch to engage with the actuator arm. A swivel plate (194) is provided on the latch mechanism and the electromagnet captures the swivel plate; in particular, the electromagnet has two poles, (190a and 190b) and the swivel plate contacts one of the poles and an air gap exists between the swivel plate and the other pole. The air gap allows the electromagnet to release the swivel plate. The swivelling action of the swivel plate causes the swivel plate to seat with the entire surface of the one pole of the electromagnet, increasing the ability of the electromagnet to hold the swivel plate once the swivel plate has been captured.
