Patent number: 10066122Abstract: A deformable film has a decorative surface featuring a completely matt appearance. For this purpose, the deformable film has a decorative surface provided with at least one coating comprising the following constituents: (a) an aqueous dispersion of a hydroxy-functional prepolymer, obtainable by conversion of at least one of the following components: (i) a component having hydroxyl groups, (ii) a polyester polyol having hydroxyl groups, (iii) a polyisocyanate having isocyanate groups, (iv) a compound having at least two groups reactive toward isocyanate groups and at least one group capable of anion formation, (v) water, where components (i) to (iii) and the ratio of components (i) to (iii) are selected such that an excess of hydroxyl groups is present relative to the isocyanate groups, and (b) nanoparticles having a number-average particle size of 1 to 1000 nm and (c) a crosslinker having at least two groups reactive toward hydroxyl groups.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignees: Benecke-Kaliko AG, Covestro Deutschland AGInventors: Dirk Iben, Heino Koch, Stefan Reusch, Heinz Dietmar Gewiss, Martin Melchiors, Uwe Klippert, Marc Claudius Schrinner

Patent number: 6444975Abstract: A method of partial area-specific-fertilization of plants which, under natural light during the fertilizer application, the chlorophyll content of the plants is ascertained by means of sensors by optical reflection measurement in the visible and near infrared spectral range, the chlorophyll content is registered and from the chlorophyll content a measurement of the nutrient state of the plant is determined and from the nutrient state of the plants a computer controls the fertilizer quantity to be applied, characterized in that the reflection measurements are taken simultaneously as inclined measurements with respect to the nadir with measurement devices oriented oppositely to one another free from shadows with light guides an the influence of the solar azimuth angle is eliminated by detecting the noise signals from all measurement directions.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Norsk Hydro ASAInventor: Stefan Reusch
