Abstract: A gum product comprises a soft gum core having a plurality of regions of different colors visible on an outer surface of the core, and a crunchy edible coating covering the outer surface of the core, the coating being substantially transparent such that the core regions of different colors are visible through the coating. The regions of different colors can also have different flavors. The coating preferably is formed of sorbitol and is free of any whitening agents that would make the coating opaque.

Abstract: A multi-use metal building comprises a skeleton composed of vertical posts connected to upper and lower horizontal longitudinal girders, thus forming a frame ensuring transverse and longitudinal stability.In the horizontal plane, the skeleton comprises self-supporting metal trough elements modulated to the same width as the posts, with corrugated cross section, these trough elements resting on the upper longitudinal girders of the frame and serving on the one hand as floor support and on the other hand as roof.The vertical walls (posts, upper and lower longitudinal girders, outer skin made of asbestos and inner insulating partition) ensure the vertical stability in both directions.

Abstract: A coated paper for offset printing in which the paper is coated with an aqueous latex containing particles of a diameter within the range of 0.20 to 0.30 microns of a copolymer of butadiene styrene and unsaturated carboxylic acid having a composition consisting essentially of 35-40% by weight butadiene, 50-63% by weight styrene and 2-10% by weight of at least one unsaturated carboxylic ethylenic acid.

Abstract: A coated substrate for photogravure printing in which the substrate is coated with an aqueous latex containing as an essential film forming component particles of a copolymer of butadiene and carboxylated styrene having a particle size within the range of 0.08-0.14 microns and consisting essentially of 41-45% by weight butadiene, 45-57% by weight styrene and 2-10% by weight of at least one unsaturated carboxylic ethylenic acid.

Abstract: A paper or cardboard coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion containing binder and pigment in which 5-30 percent by weight of the pigment are particles dimensioned within the range of 0.05-0.3 microns of a non-film forming synthetic polymer and in which 70-95 percent by weight of the pigment is calcium carbonate.

Abstract: An activation indicator for a fire detector wherein fusible securing means, such as solder, or the like, is fixed to and positions an attachment member in proximate heat exchange relation with a fire detector, and resilient means is connected to the attachment member urging the latter out of its heat exchange position, elevated temperature serving to melt the securing means and free the attachment member for movement by the resilient means out of its original position, to thereby indicate activation of the fire detector by the elevated temperature.
