Abstract: A remotely controlled electronic display sign which operates with a plasma display and which provides for humidity and heat control and the like allowing the sign to be used in various environments. The sign is essentially self-contained and includes those components necessary for enabling a display of desired material from a remote control source or one located at the sign. A controller in or associated with the sign is accessible either electrically, or through satellite transmission or other wireless transmission from the remote source which allows the display of the sign to be changed at will. Thus, an operator at a remote source may, with the aid of a pre-prepared graphic design, transmit that design to the controller at or associated with the sign for display of that graphic information and potentially with sound.

Abstract: Bioactive agrichemical concentrates and compositions having improved bioactivity comprising combinations of acid solutions and conventional bioactive agrichemical actives or formulations.

Abstract: Bioactive agrichemical concentrates and compositions having improved bioactivity comprising metal-acid solutions.

Abstract: Encapsulated cure systems are provided wherein a curative is incorporated into a solid or semi-solid carrier material whereby mere fracturing or failure of the capsule wall encapsulating such cure systems will not provide for or allow sufficient release of the curative. Also provided are adhesive systems incorporating said encapsulated cure systems.

Abstract: An improvement in the production of methylidene malonates is attained by use of specific reaction phase and/or separation phase polymerization inhibitors and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Efficient antimicrobial additives are provided comprising a wettable, cake-forming inorganic material having dispersed therein an inorganic or organometallic antimicrobial agent capable of releasing antimicrobial metal ions. These antimicrobial additives are especially effective for use in cements, mortars and cementitious compositions.

Abstract: An improved method for fixedly coating powder coating prepolymer and/or polymer particles with microparticles of solid, heat absorbing polymer additive materials, especially antimicrobial additive materials.

Abstract: Novel dispenser means are provided for mixing and dispensing two-part curable compositions wherein the mixer elements are isolated from the curable components.

Abstract: Surface insensitive, storage-stable, single-package liquid anaerobic adhesive and sealant compositions which are substantially free of amines, especially aromatic and tertiary amines, and imides, especially sulfimides such as saccharine and saccharine-type compounds.

Abstract: Novel dispenser means are provided for mixing and dispensing two-part curable compositions wherein the mixer elements are isolated from the curable components.

Abstract: A wastebasket has one or more openings on one or more sides thereof. The openings extending from near the top of the wastebasket and terminate near the bottom of the wastebasket. The one or more openings allow a part of the wastebasket on either side of each opening to move outwardly under the pressure of being stuffed, and particularly when overstuffed by pushing the trash down in the plastic bag to create more room at the top of the wastebasket. The lower end of the one or more openings relieves an air pressure differential between an installed trash bag and the wastebasket with just a little movement upward of the trash bag.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a color stable antimicrobial coatings and coating systems comprising a silver ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent. In particular, coatings and coating systems having little, if any, discoloration are provided with no loss of antimicrobial efficacy.

Abstract: Stock materials for manual and/or high speed industrial automated bonding applications having a curable pre-applied adhesive or sealant compositions on the bonding surfaces wherein the curative for the pre-applied adhesive or sealant composition is contained within a carrier which prevents its premature release.

Abstract: Stock packaging materials for manual and/or high speed industrial automated package formation and/or filing and closing applications having a curable pre-applied adhesive compositions applied to one or more seams or closure surfaces wherein the curative for the pre-applied adhesive composition is contained within a carrier which prevents its premature release.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a color stable antimicrobial coatings and coating systems comprising a silver ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent. In particular, coatings and coating systems having little, if any, discoloration are provided with no loss of antimicrobial efficacy.

Abstract: This invention provides for a curable antimicrobial coating system comprising a base coating composition and a top coat coating composition wherein each contains and antimicrobial agent. The base coat forms a non-hydrophilic polymer layer and the top coat preferably forms a hydrophilic polymer layer or a non-hydrophilic polymer layer which does not preclude the release of the antimicrobial agent. This two-layer coating is especially designed for erosive environments and provides continual antimicrobial activity regardless of the stage of wear or erosion.
