  • Patent number: 8156441
    Abstract: Disclosed is an inter-gadget communication architecture or framework that allows information from different sources to be independently viewed or correlated from within a browser. The inter-gadget communication architecture or framework comprises gadgets or iFrames, which communicate or interact with other gadgets on the displayed page by accessing other iFrames/gadgets on the same web page. The inter-gadget communication architecture or framework allows gadgets to be vendor application agnostic, providing platform independence.

  • Patent number: 4409369
    Abstract: Styrene is polymerized employing a free radical initiator in the presence of a styrene-diene block copolymer of the AB or AB (BA).sub.n configuration to provide a polymer containing from about 15 to 30 weight percent diene units polymerized therein. The polymer contains polydiene domains in the form of rods and spheres having diameters of 50 nanometers or less.

    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: Charles E. Lyons, Lu H. Tung
  • Patent number: 4362849
    Abstract: Butadiene is partially polymerized anionically in the presence of styrene to form a styrene-butadiene rubber of low styrene content. The resultant living polymer is terminated, butadiene removed, and optionally the styrene polymerized with or without additional styrene to form impact resistant styrene polymer.

  • Patent number: 4100227
    Abstract: An improved resinous structure is disclosed. The structure has a transparent resinous matrix of polystyrene, a light absorbance (optical density) at 640 millimicrons wave length which is not more than 0.10 when the structure has a thickness of 10 mils. The structure contains a discontinuous phase of a diene rubber in a proportion of about five to twelve parts by weight per hundred parts by weight of the structure. The rubber is present in the form of particles having an average diameter not exceeding about 2 microns. The particles are of a cellular nature and principally of a closed-cell configuration. The cell walls of the particles are not more than about 0.15 microns in thickness. The rubber particles contain occluded therein a polymer of a composition generally identical to the matrix polymer. Such resinous bodies are transparent, impact resistant, and suitable for many packaging applications.

  • Patent number: 4100228
    Abstract: An improved resinous structure is disclosed. The structure has a transparent resinous matrix having a light absorbance (optical density) at 640 millimicrons wavelength which is not greater than 0.07 when the structure has a thickness of 10 mils. The continuous matrix polymer is a polymer of about 65 to 95 parts by weight of styrene and 5 to 35 parts by weight of methylmethacrylate. The structure contains a discontinuous phase of a diene rubber in a proportion of about 4 to 12 parts by weight. The rubber is present in the form of particles having an average diameter not exceeding 2 microns, the particles are of a cellular nature and principally of a closed-cell configuration. The cell walls of the particles are not greater than about 0.15 microns in thickness. The rubber particles contain, occluded therein, polymer of a composition generally identical to the matrix polymer. Such resinous bodies are transparent, impact resistant and suitable for many packaging applications.
