  • Washroom use determination system
    Patent number: 12008885
    Abstract: A system having a washroom controller configured to communicate with one or more hygiene dispensers in the washroom; a thermal sensor configured detect thermal events at the entrance and communicate data describing the thermal events to the washroom controller; and a data processing apparatus configured to access the data from the washroom controller and analyze the data to determine a number of thermal events over a given time period and a number of dispenses from the at least one of the one or more hygiene dispensers.

  • Thermoplastic polyester compositions containing polyamide additives
    Patent number: 4066587
    Abstract: The flow characteristics and rheological properties of thermoplastic polyesters and copolyesters are significantly improved by the addition of a polyamide resin thereto. In addition to improving the processability of the thermoplastic materials the polymeric additives also impart other desirable properties to the resulting manufactured products.

  • Polyamide blends having improved processing characteristics
    Patent number: 4062819
    Abstract: The flow characteristics and rheological properties of high molecular weight thermoplastic polyamides are significantly improved by blending therewith a small amount of a polyamide derived from high molecular weight dibasic acids. In addition to improving the processability of the thermoplastic resin, the blends and manufactured articles produced therefrom have other desirable properties.

  • Non-migrating polymeric plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride
    Patent number: 3972962
    Abstract: Improved chain-stopped polyester plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers are provided. The plasticizers show little or no tendency to migrate from PVC, yet they are readily processable with the PVC. While being extremely compatible with PVC the present plasticizers have very low affinity for ABS and polystyrene resins and therefore can be used in applications where plasticized PVC comes in contact with these other resins.
