Abstract:
A compliant electrical contact having a closed coil with opposed, paraxial leads extending therefrom at an angle from the axis of the coil. The electrically shorted loops of the coil slide on the surfaces of one another as axial force is applied to the ends of the leads, providing compliance. The contact can be made extremely small such that pitches in the micrometer range can be achieved with very low inductance values. The contact is a component of an assembly where it is installed in a through aperture in a dielectric sheet. The coil fits into a larger center section of the aperture. The leads extend from opposed openings of the aperture. Optionally, the aperture is filled with a compliant, conductive elastomer.

Abstract:
A fiber is obtainable from or comprises a propylene/a-olefin interpolymer characterized by an elastic recovery, Re, in percent at 300 percent strain and 1 cycle and a density, d, in grams/cubic centimeter, wherein the elastic recovery and the density satisfy the following relationship: Re >1481-1629(d). Such interpolymer can also be characterized by other properties. The fibers made therefrom have a relatively high elastic recovery and a relatively low coefficient of friction. The fibers can be cross-linked, if desired. Woven or non- woven fabrics can be made from such fibers.

Cushioning net structures comprise random loops, such as three-dimensional random loops, bonded with one another, wherein the loops are formed by allowing continuous fibers, made of ethylene/a-olefin interpolymers, to bend to come in contact with one another in a molten state and to be heat-bonded at most contact points. The structures provided herein have desirable heat resistance, durability and cushioning property. The cushioning structures are used in furniture, vehicle seats etc.
Abstract:
A window envelope that includes a window patch formed from a low gloss polymer film based upon a rubber-modified vinyl aromatic polymer or a blend of a rubber- modified vinyl aromatic polymer and a vinyl aromatic polymer. The film may be a monolayer film or an external layer of a multilayer film. The film optionally includes an inorganic coating applied to either surface of the film where the film is a monolayer film or to an outermost surface of the film where the film is an external layer of a multilayer film. When an inorganic coating is applied to a film surface, the film need not include a rubber- modified vinyl aromatic polymer and may be based solely upon a vinyl aromatic polymer.

The present invention also relates to cold drawn textured fibers comprising of a polymer blend of Isotactic polypropylene and reactor grade propylene based elastomers or plastomers.
Abstract:
An improved process for crosslinking a polyolefin polymer is described. The process involves grafting a silane material onto the polyolefin based polymer in the presence of a free radical generating initiator material and then hydrolyzing the silane material to form crosslinks. By using an effective molar ratio of silane material to free radical of 40 or greater in the grafting reaction, premature crosslinking is controlled and the grafted polymer can be shaped first and then crosslinked. In another aspect of the invention, the crosslinking process is improved by adding a catalyst for the hydrolysis catalyst to the surface of a shaped article made from the grafted polymer. Grafted polymer and articles made from the grafted polymer, particularly fibers, are also disclosed.
