Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide shoes with an out sole providing a side wall and a bottom face with an improved structure wherein a seam used for fixing an upper and an out sole each other for elongating a life time of a seam and the seam for fixing the out sole to the upper is hidden for improving an appearance. SOLUTION: The side wall is bound to a periphery of the bottom face and has also a projection protruded from the side wall and the upper is bound to the projection. The upper and the projection have respectively an upper face and a bottom face each of them, and may have a string used for sewing the upper on the projection by passing the string down ward through the upper and the projection, then passing it upward through the projection and the upper along the bottom face of the projection and the upper, and passing the string repeatedly along the upper face of the out sole.

Abstract:
Described herein is a process for correcting an observed color difference between a color at a first gloss and the color at a second gloss different than the first gloss, said process comprising the steps of: (a) determining a first correction caused by a lightness (Y-value) of the color a first gloss; (b) determining a second correction caused by an inclusion of a first surface diffusion in gloss readings; (c) based on the first and second corrections, determining a specular correction caused by a difference in specular reflections from the color at the first gloss and the color at the second gloss; (d) determining tristimulus corrections based on the specular correction; (e) preparing corrected tristimulus values of the color at a second gloss; and (f) producing a paint composition for the color at the second gloss using the corrected tristimulus values.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a polymeric paint additive that increases the open time and the flow and leveling of paint compositions, as well as, niaintaining/improving paint film properties such as scrub resistance, water sensitivity, surfactant leaching and stain removal. The polymeric open time additive preferably has a high glass transition temperature, e.g., above 100°C, as determined by the well-known Pox's equation, and molecular weight of less than 20,000 Daltons (number average molecular weight). The particle size of the inventive polymeric open time additive is in the range of about 130 nm to about 230 nm (volume average), prior to being dissolved in a basic solution, such as an aqueous architectural composition.
Abstract:
Solutions to the problems of scuffing and chipping of the paint films in high traffic areas and in tight spaces, such as dressing rooms in department stores, where multiple scrapings of the wall paints are created by consumers, clothes hangers, shoes, etc., and hallways and conference rooms in office and other commercial buildings are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an aqueous architectural composition comprising a low Tg (less than about -10 °C and higher than about -50°C) acrylic emulsion polymer with at least one cross-linkable moiety, and solid polyutherane (PU) or polybutylacrylate microspheres having a mean weight diameter of less than about 40 microns and a Tg of less than about 0°C, wherein the solid PU spheres make up about 10% to about 20% by weight of the composition. The solid acrylic polymer without water and the PU spheres make up about 30% to about 40% by weight of the aqueous composition. A dried paint film formed by the inventive aqueous architectural composition can withstand at least about 500 cycles on the scrub test, and a gloss value at 60° of less than about 2.5 GU.
Abstract:
A food cutting apparatus has an upper plate housing connected to a lower plate housing and capable of being moved from an open position to a closed position where the upper plate housing is adjacent to the lower plate housing. The lower plate housing includes a base capable of being supported on a flat surface. A floating upper plate is disposed in the upper plate housing and the upper plate is capable of moving within the upper plate housing. A floating lower plate is similarly disposed in the lower plate housing and the lower plate is capable of moving within the lower plate housing.
Abstract:
A food preparation tool includes a single loop of flexible material having a generally ovoid shape with a first end joined to a second end by two sides, The sides and ends form a continuous single loop having a continuous, uninterrupted outer surface and a continuous, uninterrapted inner surface, The tool further includes a cutting surface formed on each end. The first end has a generally semicircular shape with a first radius and a first arc length. The second end has a generally semicircular shape with a second radius that is less than the first radius and a second arc length that is less than the first arc length, when the tool is in a non- flexed state. A user may grip the tool at either end, causing the two sides adjacent the gripped end to flex and change the radius of that end.
Abstract:
The invention relates to colorant compositions, and aqueous latex paints or other water-borne coatings made from them, which have a mitigated environmental impact. Levels of solvents, additives and impurities comprising volatile non-aqueous constituents, alkylphenol ethoxylates (and derivatives thereof), crystalline silica, and/or formaldehyde are decreased relative to those typical of preceding generations of colorants and tinted aqueous latex paints and other water-borne coatings. On the other hand, paint-performance as indicated by any of Stormer viscosity stabilization, rheological profile flow/leveling and sag resistance, water sensitivity and color transfer resistance is comparable to a paint in which the aforementioned solvents, additives and impurities are still present.
