Abstract: An apparatus and method for holding a pacifier in the mouth or in the proximity of the mouth of an infant while the infant is in a crib or car seat. One embodiment includes clamping an adjustable arm to the crib or car seat frame and pivoting the arm segments on hinges to a desired position. One embodiment includes a clamp to secure a flexible arm to the crib frame, and a rotatable pacifier clip which holds the rear portion of a pacifier. Other embodiments include securing the flexible arm with a plate positioned below the crib mattress; and providing one or more extension arms along an arched support arm.

Abstract: A holder for a beverage container, typically a beverage can or a beverage bottle, to provide supplemental cooling to the beverage. The holder includes one or more support ridges, a pedestal, or other beverage container support means to support the bottom of the can or bottle above the holder bottom to create a space for an ice or an ice and water cooling medium. A sealing means between the holder and the beverage container permits the beverage container and the holder to be tipped for drinking without spilling the ice or ice and water used to provide the cooling. Various sealing means include a removable seal subassembly, a single piece gasket that fits on the holder, a seal ring, and a stretch membrane.

The holder includes a tab, pedestal, or other support means to support the bottom of the care or bottle above the holder bottom to create a space for an ice or an ice and water cooling medium. A sealing means between the holder and the beverage container permits the container and the holder to be tipped for drinking without spilling the ice or ice and water used to provide the cooling. Various seal means include single piece gaskets that fit on the holder, a seal ring that fits in a groove in the holder, a solid lip with a seal, multiple seal embodiments, and stretch membrane supports.

Abstract: The powder coating composition of the present invention includes a low-temperature mixture of a powder (A) and a powder (B), in which at least the powder (A) includes an unsaturated polyester resin and a free radical initiator for initiating polymerization of unsaturated polyester resins in the powder coating composition and the powder (B) includes a polymerization promoter and methods for making the composition. The powder (B) may further include an unsaturated polyester. The powders (A) and (B) are physically mixed at temperatures below which the polymerization promoter would cause the free radical initiator to initiate polymerization of the powder coating composition. Subsequently, the physically mixed powder coating composition is applied to a substrate and cured, during which the polymerization promoter causes the free radical initiator to initiate the curing reaction.

Abstract: A resinous copolymer polyelectrolyte product is produced by a process for addition polymerization of reactants having from about 0.0005 to 0.0050 neutralization equivalents of ionizable monomer per gram. The aqueous reaction mixture for polymerization contains both a cosolvent in proportions low enough to avoid formation of a solution of the polyelectrolyte in the final aqueous medium and an ionizing agent sufficient to ionize at least about 0.0001 neutralization equivalent of said ionizable monomer. The polyelectrolyte has a mean weight average not substantially in excess of 100,000 molecular weight.
