Publication number: 20120255452Abstract: A composition comprising a plurality of discrete carrier-swellable polymer particles (preferably polyNIPAM particles) and a corresponding carrier (e.g. water), which particles have a low polydispersity index and are present in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight of the composition may be used to impart structural-image properties (such as structural colour) to a substrate by coating or printing methods. Additional benefits of adherence to low-energy surface substrates and enhanced rheological properties for printing compositions may also be provided. The compositions and methods used in the invention allow visual effects or security applications to be incorporated into substrates in a low-cost and convenient manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2010Publication date: October 11, 2012Inventors: Christopher Lee Bower, Phillip J.

Publication number: 20080010783Abstract: An article retention band includes a ring, a lever, and a clasp. The ring has an inner circumference and is configured to encircle and apply a compressive force around an exterior circumference of an article. The lever is attached to the ring and has an end surface. The lever is moveable between a first position in which the end surface is spaced from the ring and a second position in which the end surface is adjacent to the ring. Movement of the lever from the first position to the second position results in a reduction of the inner circumference of the ring. A clasp is configured for selectively retaining the lever in the second position such that the clasp at least partially covers the end surface of the lever. A drive assembly and a vehicle having a drive assembly are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2006Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventor: Lee Bowers

The inside diameter of both circles measures 0.5900 of an inch. Positioned directly on top of each circular area will be a thin small white solid plastic circular disc. The outside diameter of each disc equals that of the circles. The stem or long thin middle area of the device measures 0.1000 in width. Positioned at the opposite end of the device will be a ½ inch in diameter button magnet. This magnet will be attached to a small circle of metal measuring 0.5000 of an inch in diameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2003Publication date: August 12, 2004Inventor: Gary Lee Bower
