Abstract: A child-resistant package with a snap-on closure comprising a container having a neck finish including an annular retaining bead having at least one notch therein and a closure having a top and a peripheral skirt. The skirt has a lifting tab on the outer surface thereof and a first radially inwardly extending locking lug on the inner surface thereof adjacent the external lifting tab. A cover cap having a top wall and a peripheral wall is placed over the closure and the peripheral wall of the cover surrounds the peripheral skirt of the closure. An annular band is connected to the lower edge of the peripheral wall of the cover cap by weakened portions. The band includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially inwardly extending lugs that project beneath the free edge of the peripheral skirt of the closure so that the cover cap cannot be removed until the band is first removed by severing it from the closure cap.

Abstract: A process for forming a doped oxide film and a doped semiconductor suitable for electronic applications wherein a silicon tetraalkoxide is reacted with a limited amount of water to produce a low molecular weight, soluble polyorganosiloxane. The polyorganosiloxane is subsequently admixed with a soluble dopant element compound to form a homogeneous, polyorganosiloxane-dopant compound solution. The solution is coated onto a semiconductor wafer substrate material and heated to produce an impurity doped semiconductor wafer suitable for electronic application.

Abstract: The present invention provides, without the drawbacks accompanied by the use of hot melt adhesives, an attractive, easily recycled labelled container, the label, on its underside that is adjacent the container when applied, being provided with a finite area on its leading edge and a finite area on its trailing edge, by applying thereto a solvent for the polymer in each of the finite areas, the finite areas comprising a viscous tacky solution of the polymer in the solvent, the solidifying solution being sufficient to tack and bond the label to container during wrapping.After the label is wrapped around the container, the bond between the container and label becomes weaker as the solidifying solution hardens so that later the label can be easily and cleanly stripped from the container for recycling.

Abstract: A shipping and display carton for a plurality of plastic containers wherein the carton is formed from a flat blank that is folded into a slotted style container configuration with end flaps of sufficient size to effectively close the ends of the tubular configuration with a double thickness of corrugated board. A diagonal, perforated line is made in the underlying flaps and a diagonal cut designating line is marked on the overlying flaps. The cut designating line is also marked across the width of both the front panel and back panel joining the ends of the cut designating lines in the flaps. A small panel extends under the front panel cut designating line to protect the enclosed product. After the cut designating line has been cut, the carton is separated into two parts with the upper part discarded and the lower part serves as the display.

The surface of an annular portion of the gasket along the peripheral wall is formed with a plurality of circumferentially extending substantially flat surfaces such that it has a polygonal configuration in transverse cross section with axially extending channels at the junctures of the substantially flat surfaces. When the closure is applied to the container, the threads on the container deform the surfaces of the polygonal portion by indentation to define complementary threads therein.

Abstract: A tintable coating is applied to a transparent substrate such as a polycarbonate lens. The coating is made from a coating solution of (1) a further curable organopolysiloxane preferably made by hydrolyzing methacryloxytrimethoxy silane and vinyl triethoxy silane with phenylphosphonic acid, and an (2) organic solvent for the organopolysiloxane. The coating is cured, and azo dye applied to the cured coating, and the coating heated to provide a highly tinted coating without sacrificing scratch resistance.

Abstract: A tamper resistant closure for a finish of a container. The closure has an annular skirt with an annular tamper indicating band integrally attached thereto with a plurality of frangible bridges. The band has preferably a plurality of wedge-shaped tabs that contact the container finish and bend upwardly when the closure is applied to the container. When there is an attempt to remove the closure, the thicker outer portion of the tab wedges against the container finish to apply torque to the band and break the bridges to leave the pilfer indicating band on the container.

Abstract: A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck with external threads formed thereon and a plastic closure comprising a top panel and an integral depending annular skirt. The skirt has integral internal threads formed thereon complementary to the threads on the neck of the container. The container has an annular locking bead positioned axially below the threads, and the skirt has a ring at the lower end thereof connected to the upper portion of the skirt by a plurality of circumferentially spaced integral bridge portions located below the threads when the closure is on the container. The ring has a radially inwardly extending annular rib engaging beneath the locking bead of the container when the closure is on the container. The skirt has an annular groove formed therein in the area of the bridge portions, the groove being formed after molding by deforming an annular portion of the skirt thereby displacing material in the annular area axially and stressing the material in the annular area.

Abstract: A servo control system and method for controlling repetitious or oscillatory motion of a member in a glass manufacturing process between predetermined points. A desired trajectory between such points is first established as a function of time, and this trajectory is then loaded into a digital electronic memory as a plurality of discrete trajectory position signals arranged in an incremental series as a function of time. Control logic, which includes a real time oscillator, periodically accesses the memory so as to sequentially select and read therefrom the incremental trajectory position signals. These incremental signals are fed as a desired position control signal to a servo amplifier, which receives a second input from a position transducer coupled to the movable member and provides an amplifier output to a servo motor and then to the member.

The coating is made from a coating solution of (1) a further curable organopolysiloxane preferably made by hydrolyzing ethyl ortho silicate with methacryloxytrimethoxy silane and/or vinyltriethoxy silane with phenylphosphonic acid, and an (2) organic solvent for the organopolysiloxane. The coating is cured, an azo dye applied to the cured coating to provide a highly tinted coating without sacrificing scratch resistance. The cured coating can be tinted with an improved tinting speed and the resultant cured tinted coating has improved abrasion resistance.

Abstract: A method for producing solventless liquid organopolysiloxanes is disclosed. The method involves hydrolyzing an organo silicon composition comprising at least one compound having the general formulaY.sub.(4-n) Si(OR).sub.nwhere Y is phenyl or a primary or secondary alkyl group having from one to four carbon atoms, R is an alkyl group having from one to three carbon atoms, and n is an integer from one to four, and wherein the ratio of OR groups to silicon atoms in the composition is from 2.3:1 to 3.1:1. The products of hydrolysis are then heated to cause substantial siloxane formation by condensation and to distill water and alcohol by-products. Heating is continued until the water content of the resulting siloxane composition is less than 1 percent. The purity of the organo silicon composition, the amount of water used for hydrolysis, the amount of acid present during hydrolysis, and the heating of the organopolysiloxane are so controlled that the solventless organopolysiloxane has a viscosity at 25.degree. C.
