Patent EP-1454930-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RABASCO JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: C08F218/08
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: This invention is directed to aqueous-based ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)
polymer emulsions suited for use in heat seal applications. The EVA polymers of this
invention are produced by a relatively low-pressure process, i.e., less than 2000 psig,
preferably from about 1000 to about 2000 psig. The aqueous-based EVA based polymer
emulsions contain crystalline segments resulting from ethylene linkages and are
prepared by emulsion polymerizing ethylene and vinyl acetate, preferably with a
carboxylic monomer, in the presence of a stabilizing system containing surfactant or a
cellulosic protective colloid in combination with surfactant.

Abstract: A process of removing deposits (22) from through-holes (12) in a component
(10), such as metallic bond coat and ceramic materials from cooling holes
(12) in an air-cooled gas turbine engine, is shown. The process is particularly
effective in removing a TBC material deposited in a cooling hole (12) of a
component (10) as a result of depositing a coating (20) of the TBC material on
a surface (14) of the component (10), in which the deposit (22) is removed
from the cooling hole (12) without damaging the cooling hole (12) or the TBC
coating (20) surrounding the cooling hole (12) on the coated surface (14) of
the component (10). A preferred feature is that the cooling hole (12),
including the entrance to the hole (12) at a surface (16) of the component (10)
opposite the coated surface (14) and the coating (20) surrounding the exit of
the hole (12) at the coated surface (14), exhibits improved surface
characteristics that increase the discharge coefficient of the cooling hole (12),
as evidenced by an increase in the effective area of the cooling hole (12).

Abstract: A system and method for improving xerographic halftoning by magnifying a
threshold array, interpolating the in-between values, enabling multiple thresholds to
be accessed simultaneously and presented to multiple comparators, to cause multi-bit
output. A threshold array is sampled at distinct locations separated by the sparse
sampling distance to allow warping of the threshold array dots by adjusting the
sampling distance in small, fractional portions (deltas) of the magnified distance. By
adding more thresholds, amplitude or intensity modulation is used to move dot edges
in a process direction for further flexibility in printing irrational or warpable screens.
