Abstract: A coating composition including an uncured binder component and a particle component. The particle component can include a plurality of first particles and/or a plurality of second particles. The first particles are non-spherical and have an average particle size in the range of from about 0.5 to about 20 ?m and have a Mohs hardness in the range from about 4 to about 7. The first particles are made of material comprising inorganic, amorphous, glass material. The second particles are at least substantially spherical and have an average particle size in the range of from about 0.5 to about 70 ?m. The second particles are made of material comprising organic material.

Abstract: Single ply wallcovering comprise a fabric comprising hydroentangled polymeric microfilaments. The fabric has a tear strength of at least about 25 MD and at least about 25 CD as determined by ASTM D 751, method A, and the fabric additionally has a breaking strength of at least about 50 MD and at least about 55 CD as determined by ASTM D 751, Grab method. The wallcovering comprises a decorative image, a fire retardant and a stain resistance treatment. The wallcovering has a basis weight of from about 4 to about 22 oz/yd2. Methods for making the wallcovering are also described.

Abstract: An enclosure assembly for use in an audio speaker includes a driver support, a plurality of cavity forming layers disposed rearward of the driver support, and an end piece disposed adjacent a rearward most cavity forming layer. The driver support includes a front and rear and is adapted to support a driver. Each cavity forming layer includes an outer peripheral edge and a void disposed inward of the outer peripheral edge. The void defines an inner circumferential edge. The cavity forming layers may be removably joined such that the voids and the end piece cooperate to form a cavity rearward of the driver support. The cavity forming layers cooperate to advantageously modify the sound performance of the speaker, while providing a high degree of adjustability to the speaker's application environment. Methods of providing the enclosure assembly are also included.

Abstract: Grafted-polysilanes with a greater efficiency for the photoinitiation of vinyl type resins are provided. These grafted polysilanes which include both grafted cyclic polysilanes and grafted networked polysilanes have variable composition and length molecular chains grafted onto the silane backbone which aid in the solubility in vinyl type resins.

Abstract: A one-part type radiation curable silicone composition capable of curing at an ordinary temperature is provided. The silicone composition comprises an unsaturated group-containing polyorganosiloxane and a polysilane in which at least one at least two silicon atoms are bonded to each other and which has at least one polyorganosiloxane group in a side chain thereof.

Abstract: A lotion composition for imparting a soft, lubricious, lotion-like feel when applied to tissue paper in amounts as low as from about 5 to about 15% by weight. The lotion composition comprises plastic or fluid emollient such as petrolatum, or a mixture of petrolatum with alkyl ethoxylate emollient, an agent such as sorbitan stearates or N-cocoyl, N-methyl glucamide to immobilize the emollient on the surface of the tissue paper web and optionally a hydrophilic surfactant to improve wettability when applied to toilet tissue. Because less lotion is required to impart the desired soft, lotion-like feel benefits, detrimental effects on the tensile strength and caliper of the lotioned paper are minimized or avoided.
