Abstract:
A stent with at least one severable supporting device and methods of coating using the same are disclosed. The severable supporting device can be an end tube or a tab attached to some portion of the stent by at least one “gate” or attachment. The end tube or tab may be part of the design of the stent when it is originally manufactured, or it may be attached to the stent in a secondary process by a biocompatible glue or solder. The end tube or tab can be used to support a stent during a coating process eliminating the need for a mandrel which would otherwise contact the stent during the coating process.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for cleaning, coating and sealing leaks in existing pipes, in a single operation. A piping system can be cleaned in one pass by dry particulates forced and pulled by air throughout the piping system by a generator and a vacuum. Pipes can be protected from water corrosion, erosion and electrolysis, extending the life of pipes such as copper, steel, lead, brass, cast iron piping and composite materials. Coatings can be applied to pipes having diameters up to approximately 6″. Leak sealants of at least approximately 4 mils thick can cover insides of pipes, and can include novel mixtures of fillers and epoxy materials, and viscosity levels. A positive pressure can be maintained within the pipes during applications. Piping systems can be returned to service within approximately 96 hours.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a coating layer on a three-dimensional shaped substrate, comprising the steps: (1) providing a three-dimensional shaped substrate, (2) initial application of a coating layer on the surface of the substrate from a coating composition curable by free-radical polymerization of olefinic double bonds on UV irradiation and (3) irradiating the coated substrate with UV radiation; wherein the coating composition contains the following constituents: A) at least one free-radically polymerizable binder containing olefinically unsaturated groups, B) optionally, at least one free-radically polymerizable monomeric reactive diluent containing one or more olefinically unsaturated groups, C) at least one photoinitiator for free-radical polymerization, and D) at least one metal compound.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a film-forming method, comprising dispensing from a dispenser nozzle a coating solution, which is prepared by adding a solid component to a solvent and controlled to be spread on the substrate in a predetermined range, onto a target substrate to be processed while relatively moving the dispenser nozzle and the target substrate so as to form a liquid film on the entire surface of the target substrate, and arranging a sucking nozzle above and apart from the target substrate such that the sucking nozzle is not in contact with the surface of the liquid film so as to permit the sucking nozzle to suck the solvent vapor right under the sucking nozzle while moving the sucking nozzle relative to the target substrate, thereby removing the solvent from the liquid film and, thus, forming a coated film.
Abstract:
A vibration damper for use with an apparatus for applying liquid to both sides of a running web and then drying the web with an air drier. Vibrations induced by the air drier are damped by uniformly blowing air on both sides of the running web between the drier and the liquid application heads. Preferably, the gas ejection surfaces are stepped or tapered so allow larger vibrations near the drier but to reduce the allowed vibration nearer the liquid application heads.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method for coating an optical lens having a main surface at least partly covered with lenslets. The optical lens is dipped in a coating fluid, withdrawn to reach an initial position defined so that said main surface faces towards a first, horizontal, direction, and the coating fluid coating said optical lens is dried. After withdrawing the optical lens and before or while drying the coating fluid, the optical lens is tilted to a final position defined so that said main surface faces upwards towards a final direction having an angle comprised between 80° and 100° with respect to the first direction, the first and final directions defining a vertical plane. Alternately or in combination, while withdrawing said optical lens, part of the coating fluid is removed from the optical lens by sliding said optical lens along a mechanical blade.

Abstract:
A polyester film containing a polyester support having a terminal carboxylic acid value of from 3 to 20 eq/ton and IV of from 0.65 to 0.9 dL/g, and a conductive layer having a surface specific resistance of from 106 to 1014Ω per square with an in-plane distribution of from 0.1 to 20% exhibits an improvement in withstand voltage.
Abstract:
Provided are a one-pack addition curable silicone composition compatible with both a good long-term storage property at room temperature under conditions whereby air is blocked to a constant level and the advance of an addition curing reaction at room temperature by being applied in a thin film of 1500 μm or less and exposed to air, which could not be obtained by conventional curable heat-dissipating grease, and a method for storing the same, and a method for curing this composition. A one-pack addition curable silicone composition having as essential ingredients: (A) organopolysiloxane having silicon-atom-bonded aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon groups and a specific kinematic viscosity; (B) one or more thermally conductive fillers selected from metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, and allotropes of carbon; (C) organohydrogenpolysiloxane; and (D) a platinum group metal complex having an organic phosphorus compound represented by formula (1) R1x—P—(OR1)3-x (1) (R1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, x is 0-3) as a ligand.
