Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous resin emulsions containing at least a non-ionic surfactant of general formula R1-(A1O)n-(A2O)x-(A3O)y—R2, obtained by the phase inversion emulsification process. In particular, the invention relates to aqueous resin emulsions commonly used in solvent-based paints, such as, for example, alkyd resins. Said emulsions are stabilized by non-ionic and anionic surfactant compositions which promote the inversion of the water-oil to oil-water phases in the presence of low water content, enabling water-oil type emulsions to be obtained with high productivity and high solids content, even in low shear conditions.

Abstract: A passenger seat may be configured to adjust between an upright seating position and a lie-flat sleeping position (which may include one or more intermediate reclined seating positions) via independent rollers attached to the seat pan, or seat bottom, and to the backrest. As the passenger seat transitions between the upright seating position and the lie-flat sleeping position, guide channels set into the left and right frame rails direct the movement of the independent rollers through the guide channels and thereby control the angles of the seat pan and the backrest throughout the transition.

Abstract: A method and device for coating projecting surfaces of discrete projections of a product substrate that has functional units arranged at least partially in recesses. The method includes the steps of: bringing the projecting surfaces into contact with a coating material that is applied on a carrier substrate, and separating the carrier substrate from the projecting surfaces in such a way that the coating material remains partially on the product substrate. In addition, this invention relates to a corresponding device.
