Abstract:
This invention provides for compositions, which can be crosslinked by radiation to give elastomeric coatings, which comprises: (a) high-molecular weight siloxanes with multiple (meth)acrylate functional groups; and (b) reinforcing fillers selected from the group consisting of silicone resins and silicone dioxide fillers, wherein the siloxanes (a) have the general structure: [R3SiO1/2]a[(Z)nG—Ym—R2SiO1/2]a′[R2SiO2/2]b[(Z)nG—Ym—RSiO2/2]b′[RSiO3/2]c[SiO4/2]d.
Abstract:
A double containment pipe fitting and method of making same is disclosed. The fitting includes a branch double containment pipe section butt welded to a double containment pipe header, or main section to form a fitting wherein the branch section extends away from the header section. The header and branch section primary and secondary pipe portions contain distinct engagement surfaces which are joined together to form the fitting. A unique, non-planar heating element having opposed heating surfaces is brought into contact with the main and branch pipe sections to soften the plastic for welding purposes which are then joined together in a manner such that the respective centerlines of each pipe section intersect.

In one embodiment, the inventive release composition further comprises(C) an acrylate represented by the formulaCH.sub.2 .dbd.C(R**)--C(O)O--R.sup.2 (III) wherein in Formula (III), R** is hydrogen or a methyl or ethyl group, and R.sup.2 is a hydrocarbon group of about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms. A method of producing release-coated substrates, the release-crated articles thus produced, and multi-layer articles or constructions incorporating a release layer also are disclosed. When the release compositions are cured such as by radiation, the cured compositions exhibit a desirable high and controlled release force at high speeds such as the speeds utilized in label processing.

Abstract:
An improved locker seat includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of lateral edges. A generally horizontal seat is disposed between the lateral edges of the sidewalls. In a first mode, an air source is connected to an airway formed within the seat to create an airflow. The airflow from the air source creates a first temperature differential to cool the seat. In a second mode, an external or internal heat source provides heat to a top surface of the seat, creating a second temperature differential to heat the seat. The first and second temperature differential are distributed across the top surface of the seat. The seat is hinged to be movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.
Abstract:
A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one compartment defined between the upstanding sidewalls. A horizontal member extends at least partially between the sidewalls. An inductive charger is carried by the horizontal member and located such that an electronic device placed on the horizontal member may be charged by the charger. A visible indicia is disposed on the horizontal member indicating the location of the inductive charger; and an illuminated indicia is disposed on the horizontal member to indicate charging of the device.
