Abstract: Acrylate-only and epoxy-acrylate thermoset resins exhibit high temperature damping behavior. These materials are suitable for damping vibrations in structures and component parts of devices where high temperature performance is required, such as in automobiles, aircraft, industrial equipment and appliances.

Abstract: A tamper-indicating and authenticating label which provides a temporary visually perceptible indication that the label is authentic, and provides a permanent indication of tampering with the label. The label comprises a normally opaque microporous film which becomes substantially transparent upon application of a suitable liquid. The label includes tamper-indicating and authenticating indicia which are normally not visually perceptible when the microporous film is opaque, and which become visible when the microporous film is made transparent. The authenticating indicia is made temporarily visible to authenticate the label by applying a volatile liquid to the film to render it transparent, without dissolving the tamper-indicating indicia. Application of solvents in an attempt to defeat the adhesive of the label will cause the tamper-indicating indicia to bleed through to the surface of the label, providing a permanent indication of tampering.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and a method for producing the same. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is produced by the combination of at least one free-radically photopolymerizable monomer and at least one cationically polymerizable monomer and a suitable photoinitiation system consisting of at least one salt of a cationic organometallic complex, an optional additional free-radical initiator and the application of sufficient energy to photopolymerize same.

Abstract: Method for treating oil and gas wells using foamable fluids containing methanol, as well as foamable compositions and novel fluorochemicals useful therein.

Abstract: The assembly comprises a heat emitting element located in a thermostat and an electrical circuit for selectively energizing and deenergizing said element by means of local control or remotely activated circuitry. The assembly has means for allowing varying amounts of predetermined current to be conducted through said element. This allows for an unlimited variety of control over the amount of heating or cooling provided through direct or remote operation as specifically desired by the operator of the system.
