Abstract:
An electronic safety baton for providing a portable, multifunction security apparatus which includes both visual and audible interface is embodied as a baton housing that externally includes a lighting element, a speaker, a display screen, pulse sensors, two manual actuators, and a baton charging surface, internally includes a rechargeable battery, and utilizes a discrete floor charger mat. The electrically interconnected components on and in the baton housing enable a pulse reading system, a lighting system, and a panic system, each of which use electricity from the battery and are activated through manual engagement. The baton charging surface, when engaged with the floor charger mat, enables the recharging of the battery by allowing externally sourced electricity to be directed to the battery.
Abstract:
A process for finishing keratinous material, especially rendering it shrink-resistant or imparting to it durably pressed effects, comprises1. treating the material with a polythiol ester of the formula ##EQU1## WHERE R.sup.1 represents an aliphatic or araliphatic hydrocarbon radical of at least 2 carbon atoms, which may contain not more than one ether oxygen atom,R.sup.2 represents a hydrocarbon radical,p is an integer of from 2 to 6,q is zero or a positive integer of at most 3, such that (p + q) is at most 6, andr and s each represent zero or 1 but are not the same, and2. curing the polythiol ester on the material by means of a polyene containing, per average molecule, at least two ethylenic double bonds each .beta. to an oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur atom, the sum of such ethylenic double bonds in the polyene and of the mercaptan groups in the polythiol ester being more than 4 and the combined weight of the polyene and the polythiol ester being from 0.5 to 15% by weight of the keratinous material treated.

Abstract:
Leather is coated on at least one face with a curable composition comprisingI. a polymercaptan containing at least two mercaptan groups per average molecule,Ii. a polyene having, per average molecule, at least two ethylenic double bonds, each .beta. to an atom of nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen, the sum of the mercaptan groups in the polymercaptan and of such ethylenic double bonds in the polyene being more than 4, and the composition is then cured on the leather with or without the application of heat, optionally in the presence of a Bronsted acid, a Bronsted base, or a source of free radicals, as a curing accelerator.In this manner the leather is provided with a wearing or decorative surface having high gloss and smoothness, enhanced ease of cleaning, and decreased permeability to liquids.
Abstract:
An apparatus for teaching an individual proper body rotation when striking a ball is disclosed which includes an elongated body member having a first end portion, a medial portion and a second end portion. A strap is connected to the elongated body member for securing the elongated body member in a is substantially horizontally disposed position on a portion of a lower lumbar region of the individual's back whereby at least a portion of the medial portion and the second end portion of the elongated body member extends outwardly from the individual. Upon the individual assuming a ball striking position and simulating a swing or a ball striking motion, at least the second end portion of the elongated body member is caused to cross over a ball striking zone when the individual's hips, lower body and upper body are properly rotated during the swing or ball striking motion. The apparatus may further include a back rest assembly, a rib assembly and a propiteal fossa engaging assembly.
Abstract:
A process for the encapsulating of substances immiscible with water by dispersing the substance to be encapsulated in a distribution medium in the presence of a hydrate or bisulphite adduct of a polyacrolein or acrolein copolymer and reacting said hydrate or bisulphite adduct with a water-soluble, polyfunctional, monomeric or polymeric hydrophilic compound and, optionally, additionally with a curing agent or an aminoplast precondensate to form an insoluble capsule.
Abstract:
Carpets are backed with a composition comprisingI. a polymercaptan containing at least two mercatpan groups per average molecule,Ii. a polyene having, per average molecule, at least two ethylenic double bonds each .beta. to an atom of nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen, the sum of the mercaptan groups in the polymercaptan and of such ethylenic double bonds in the polyene being more than 4, and the composition is then cured on the carpet with or without the application of heat, optionally in the presence of a Bronsted acid, a Bronsted base, or a source of free radicals, as a curing accelerator. Such carpet backings cure at relatively low temperatures and so may be used in conjunction with a wide range of fibers and dyestuffs: the backings also retain their flexibility for prolonged periods.
