IPC: C09D7/48
Filed: 2009-12-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions with self-cleaning properties.  More particularly, the invention con-cerns coatings or paints comprising particles coated with a catalytically active composition. In particular, a self- cleaning coating composition (paint) is provided, comprising micro-sized particles coated with a functional layer, wherein the micro-sized particles are hollow or solid beads, or any combination/ratio of hollow and solid beads, wherein the beads comprise one or more material(s) selected from ceramic material(s); polymeric matehal(s); cermet material(s);  metallic material(s); pigmented matehal(s);  light-ab-sorbing and/or light reflecting matehal(s); including any combination thereof, wherein said layer is covalently bound to said parti-cles, wherein the photocatalytic layer comprises TiO2 in the crystal form of anatase; and wherein the coating composition (paint) comprises less than 0.1 anatase particles derived/released from the micro-sized beads, determined as weight/weight of released anatase / total amount of anatase. The invention provides paint essentially without presence of unbound anatase crystals which is highly undesired, as it is believed that their presence has a negative influence on essential components of the paint, such as binder, pigment and/or additives and furthermore, anatase may cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation.

Title: Rotary compressor
Inventor: COFFEY DONALD L
IPC: F04C29/00
Filed: 2010-09-24
Abstract: The eccentric on the crankshaft of a rotary compressor, as well as the roller that surrounds the crankshaft, is replaced by an elliptical cam that acts as a double eccentric. In this manner, the elliptical cam provides for proper balancing of the crankshaft and other components of the compressor, while eliminating the need to use counterweights. Specifically, the elliptical cam is symmetrical, resulting in equal forces acting on opposing sides of the elliptical cam. This allows the elliptical cam to maintain its balance throughout its rotation, even when operating at a high rate of revolution.
