  • Publication number: 20160259534
    Abstract: A computing system comprises, in one example, a display system configured to generate user interface displays, a process configuration system configured to define a process action that targets at least one programming interface and to identify a set of parameters for the programming interface, and a display system controller configured to control the display system to generate a process action configuration user interface display with user input mechanisms that prompt the user based on the set of parameters, and to detect a user interaction with the user input mechanisms that defines one or more values for the set of parameters. The process configuration system defines the process action based on the one or more values.

  • Patent number: 8933188
    Abstract: The tendency of a two component laminating adhesive based on polyurethane chemistry to form a mist of fine droplets when applied at a high line speed may be reduced by including both a high functionality polyol and a lower functionality polymeric polyol in Component B which is combined and reacted with an isocyanate-functionalized polyurethane prepolymer in Component A.

  • Publication number: 20150012329
    Abstract: A user interface display is generated with user input mechanisms to receive business process flow definition inputs from a user. The definition inputs can include identifying stages and steps within stages, for a plurality of different entities. When the user accesses the business process, a user interface display shows the stages that are involved in completing the business process, and guides the user through the steps that the user is to complete in performing the process. The process can involve multiple entities, and a single entity can involve multiple processes.

  • Patent number: 8382937
    Abstract: Natural oils, fats and other fatty acid triglycerides are transesterified with polyalcohols such as trimethylolpropane or glycerol to yield polyhydroxyl-functionalized reaction products which are useful materials in the formulation of two component laminating adhesives.

  • Publication number: 20100136347
    Abstract: A two component laminating adhesive is provided, wherein one component contains at least one isocyanate-functionalized compound and the other component contains one or more 1,4:3,6 dianhydrohexitols. A laminate may be formed by combining the two components to provide an adhesive and then using the adhesive to adhere one polymeric film or metallic foil to another polymeric film or metallic foil. The adhesive layer between the film and/or foil layers of the laminate is then cured. The adhesives exhibit faster green strength development and higher final bond strength as compared to conventional two component laminating adhesives not containing any 1,4:3,6 dianhydrohexitol as a coreactant.

  • Patent number: 5356715
    Abstract: Viscoelastic resins useful for forming vibration damping composites, i.e., metal layers adhered by the resins, contain only the elements hydrogen, oxygen and carbon and provide vibration damping over a wide temperature range. The resins are generally linear, high molecular weight polymers having blocks of epoxy and either polyester or polyether.

  • Patent number: 4111909
    Abstract: Epoxy resin compositions having extended reactivity (gel time) are prepared by adding phosphate or phosphite compounds to epoxy resin-dicyandiamide-tertiary amine curing systems. Such compositions are useful in preparing glass fiber laminates and powder coatings.
