Abstract: A two-part waterproof coating composition including a base composition having at least one latex-based binder, wherein the base composition has a viscosity of at least 1,000 centipoise, and a water-based activating composition having at least one acid, wherein the waterproof coating composition is cured upon combining the base composition with the water-based activating composition. A method of providing a waterproof coating to a substrate includes applying a base composition to the substrate, wherein the base composition has a latex-based binder, and curing the base composition on the substrate by sequentially applying a water-based activating composition having at least one acid, wherein the waterproof coating is cured within about 10 seconds to about 120 minutes after the activating composition is applied.

Abstract: Methods and high visible-light reflective reactive resinous coatings that increase visible light inside a grow house and enhance plant growth therein. A pre-dispersion of a resin, zinc oxide, one or more fillers, and retroreflective microspheres, is mixed with a one-part or two-part reactive coating system to provide a high-reflectance reactive resin coating composition. At least one or more layers of the high-reflectance reactive resin coating composition is coated onto a substrate inside the grow house and allowed to cure. The cured high-reflectance reactive resin layer has a light reflectance increase up to 60% in lumens increasing an amount of visible light inside the grow house to enhance plant growth.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of de-convolution for multi-phase scans of an array of electrodes are described. One programmable circuit includes a sequencer to initiate a multi-phase transmit (TX) scan of an array of electrodes to obtain capacitance data. The capacitance data is stored in one or more storage devices as convoluted capacitance data. The programmable circuit also includes a digital circuit block to read the convoluted capacitance data from the one or more storage devices, de-convolve the convoluted capacitance data to obtain de-convoluted capacitance data, and store the de-convoluted capacitance data in the one or more storage devices.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of hardware de-convolution for multi-phase scanning of a touch arrays are described. One apparatus includes a memory device configured to store a capacitance map including convolved capacitance data. The convolved data are results of multi-phase transmit (TX) scanning of a sense array with multiple TX patterns.
