The polymers and polymer/oil blends are selected to reduce temperature dependent viscosity variations in the surfacing materials, thereby providing a more consistent “going” for horses or other livestock being worked on these surfacing materials. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing such surfacing compositions and methods of using such surfacing compositions in constructing riding venues including, for example, arenas and tracks.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Equestrian Surfaces, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Attwood, Edwin J. Barron

Patent number: 8318306Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent compositions which exhibit swelling, deswelling, and reswelling behavior. More specifically, absorbent compositions of this invention swell and absorb fluids after exposure to aqueous fluids, deswell and release fluids from the swollen absorbent compositions, and may also reswell and absorb fluids. The swelling-deswelling-reswelling behavior allows enhanced liquid distribution in absorbent composites.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Evonik Stockhausen, LLCInventors: Gonglu Tian, Scott J. Smith, Yaru Shi, Richard N. Dodge, Jian Qin

Publication number: 20120295115Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coating particulate material are provided. The apparatus includes a vessel having a top and a bottom, a vertically extending conduit having an inlet in the vessel and an outlet outside of the vessel, a first fluid inlet in the bottom of the vessel for introducing a transfer fluid, a second fluid inlet in the bottom of the vessel for introducing a coating fluid, and a fluid outlet from the vessel. The method includes steps of agitating a material, contacting the material with a coating material, and drying the coating material to produce a coated material. The invention may be adapted to coat aerogel beads, among other materials. A coated aerogel bead and an aerogel-based insulation material are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTEInventors: Howard LITTMAN, Joel L. PLAWSKY, John D. PACCIONE

Patent number: 8313834Abstract: To provide a core for reactor capable of reducing the eddy current loss and improving the direct current superposition characteristics, a manufacturing method thereof, and a reactor. A core for reactor M is obtained by press molding metallic magnetic particles coated with an insulating coated film, and the metallic magnetic particles have the following compositions: (1) the mean particle size is 1 ?m or more and 70 ?m or less; (2) the variation coefficient Cv which is a ratio (?/?) of the standard deviation (?) of the particle size and the mean particle size (?) is 0.40 or less; and (3) the degree of circularity is 0.8 or more and 1.0 or less. On the outside of the insulating coated film, at least one of a heat-resistance imparting protective film and a flexible protective film is further provided as a outer coated film.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Sato, Toru Maeda
