Abstract: A plastic closure that comprises a cap (22) having a base (30) with a peripheral skirt (32) defining the cap interior and threads (34) on the skirt for securing the closure to a container. A liner (20a, 20b or 20c) is secured to the interior of the cap, preferably by being compression molded in situ on the base. The liner consists essentially of a multiplicity of alternating layers of a matrix polymer material such as EVA and a barrier material such as EVOH to resist transmission of gas, water vapor and/or flavorants through the liner. The matrix polymer material preferably is preblended with a compatibilizer material such as a maleic anhydride grafted polymer that ties the matrix polymer material to the barrier material. <IMAGE>

Title: Stone imitation for decorating building structures and methods for the          production thereof

Abstract: The invention relates to an imitation stone for decorating building structures which is comprised of three layers. One layer is discontinuous of the surface having different colorings and a thickness of 0-5 mm. A second layer is a continuous intermediate layer having only one color and a thickness of 2-5 mm. A third layer is a base and resistance inner layer having a thickness of 3-10 mm. The shape and coloring of the stone imitates those of natural stone. The first two layers have 28-48 wt. % polyester resin with reinforcers, or polyvinyl chloride or polystyrene optionally with the addition of cross-linking agents, 50-70 wt. % quartz powder and 2-10 wt. % pigments. The inner layer has 100 wt. % polyurethane foam with reinforcers or 20-35 wt. % fiber glass and 65-80 wt. % polyester resin with reinforcers. The imitation stone is produced in a rigid or flexible structure in which the mixture for the surface layer, the intermediate layer, and the base layer is successively applied by spraying or with a brush. The layers cure and combine with one another. The product is manually pulled out of the interior of the structure and the entire external surface is sandblasted. An additional method is comprised of applying a continuous layer of the curing base mixture on the inner surface of the structure. The mixture is manually pulled out and a continuous layer of the mixture having only one color is applied on the entire external surface of the layer. The mixture hardens and discontinuous mixtures for the surface layer having different colorings are applied over said continuous layer. The mixture hardens and the entire external surface is sandblasted.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for verifying honest gaming transactions over a communications network includes structure and process whereby a host processor receives a random number from a satellite processor over the communications network. The host processor generates a game seed based on the random number. The host processor also receives an arbitrary game input from the satellite processor and generates a game result based on the game input, the game seed, and predetermined game rules. The satellite processor provides the random number and the arbitrary game input to the host processor over the communications network, and receives data corresponding to the game seed and the game result from the host processor. The satellite processor verifies the honesty of the transaction by (i) generating a game result based on the game input, the data corresponding to the game seed, and the predetermined game rules, and (ii) compares the generated game result with the received game result. A storage medium is also provided for storing a computer-implemented program to carry out the functions described above.

Abstract: The foam process is used to make non-woven webs from cellulose or synthetic fibers, which webs have as a component super absorbent polymer (SAP). In order to minimize water absorbency by the SAP, it may have a protective coating that dissolves only after in contact with water a few seconds; the SAP may be frozen (e.g. to about -18 DEG  C.); and/or the SAP may be transported by highly chilled (e.g. about 1 DEG  C.) water. The SAP, and liquid or foam carrier, is fed as a small volume flow into a conduit carrying a high volume flow of a fiber containing foam slurry, just before a foraminous element. A mechanical mixer may be provided in the conduit for mixing the SAP with the fiber-foam slurry. The addition of the SAP to the carrier fluid takes place no more than ten seconds (preferably no more than five seconds) before the fiber-foam slurry mixed with SAP is brought into operative association with one or more foraminous elements. The SAP in the formed web, before drying, has a dry content of at least 20% (typically between about 30-40+%).
