Abstract: The present invention relates to certain amine-functionalized polyarylsulfide polymers possessing an advantageous compromise of properties, i.e. a molecular weight such to ensure adequate mechanical properties, a sufficient amine functionalization for appropriate reactivity towards epoxies, and a melting point not exceeding about 260° C., for enabling reaction in the molten state in liquid epoxies during curing thereof; to a method for the manufacture thereof, and to the use thereof for coating applications.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a lithiated polyamide-imide (LiPAI) polymer, a method of making the LiPAI, an electrode-forming composition comprising the LiPAI, a method of making a negative electrode with the electrode-forming composition; and a lithium-ion battery comprising the negative electrode.

Abstract: The invention relates to downhole tools comprising members comprising branched poly(hydroxyacid) polymers provided with improved degradation rate when in contact with water.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an improved branched glycolic acid polymer being obtained from polycondensation reaction of a monomer mixture comprising: (i) glycolic acid (GA); (ii) optionally, at least one hydroxyacid having only one hydroxyl group and only one carboxylic acid group different from GA [hydroxyacid (A)], wherein the molar amount of hydroxyacid (A) is of at most 5% moles with respect to the sum of moles of GA and hydroxyacid (A); (iii) at least one polyol comprising at least three hydroxyl groups and being free from carboxylic acid group [polyol (H)]; (iv) at least one alcohol comprising one or two hydroxyl groups and being free from carboxylic acid group [alcohol (AO)]; (v) optionally at least one carboxylic acid comprising one carboxylic acid group and being free from hydroxyl group [monoacid (C)]; and (vi) optionally at least one polyacid comprising at least two carboxylic acid groups and being free from hydroxyl groups [polyacid (O)], wherein the amount of polyacid (O) is such that the number o

Abstract: A fishing reel having easily selectable gears is disclosed. A gear assembly is disposed on the side of the reel opposite the crank handle, which has a gear ratio selector knob to easily and quickly change gear ratios to thereby change retrieval speeds.

Abstract: The invention pertains to certain fluoroelastomer compositions including given amounts of certain aromatic polyamide-imide polymers, having ability to adhere upon curing to various substrates, to a process for their manufacture, to a method for fabricating shaped articles comprising curing the said compositions, to cured articles therefrom, and to assemblies including a substrate and said cured articles.

Abstract: A visual WYSIWYG method of editing a web site in a remote user's client web browser without employing any external code on the user's computer, including designating an editable feature in a web page and responding to a request from the user's web browser to edit the web page. The response includes downloading the requested web page in an editable form which allows the user to edit the web page in the browser. The web browser then submits an identifier of the web site, a version of the web site, an identifier of the web page edited, an identifier of an editable feature, and indicia of a new selection for the identified editable feature. The web site stored on the server is then updated to incorporate the new selection for the editable feature. The revised web page is then downloaded to the user's web browser.

Abstract: A dynamic web-based application for WYSIWYG editing of a web page generates editor functionality embedded into the web page using standard markup language so that a remote user with permission can edit the web page in a standard web browser without installing any external software. The resulting “editable web page” includes at least one editable content cell, such as a text cell or graphic cell, identified by an editing icon and interactive editing behavior.
