Abstract: Compositions for bonding galvanized surfaces are disclosed. The compositions include either (i) a first part that includes at least one (meth)acrylate component in combination with a free radical inhibitor component and a phosphate ester component and a second part that includes at least one accelerator component or (ii) a first part that includes at least one (methyl)acrylate component in combination with an accelerator and a phosphate ester component and a second part that includes a carrier component and a free radical initiator component. Methods for preparing and methods for using these compositions also are disclosed, as are processes for inhibiting corrosion on galvanized surfaces.

Abstract: Compositions for bonding substrate surfaces, particularly steel, aluminum, and urethane-primed galvanized steel, are disclosed. Desirably, the compositions include a stable emulsion including: (a) at least one curable (meth)acrylate component; (b) at least three different elastomeric polymers that are soluble and/or partially soluble in the (meth)acrylate component; and (c) optionally at least one elastomeric polymer that is not soluble in the (meth)acrylate component. Methods for preparing and methods for using these compositions also are disclosed.

Abstract: A process for improving adhesion to a surface that is at least partially coated with a fluorocarbon-containing coating, as well as a method for bonding surfaces that are at least partially coated with a fluorocarbon-containing coating, are disclosed. Moreover, compositions that may be used in the aforementioned process and method are disclosed. Additionally, articles and assemblies that include surfaces that are coated with a fluorocarbon-containing coating are disclosed.

Abstract: A pedal drive which includes a drive sprocket that is rotatable about a drive axis. A pedal system is provided and has at least one pedal. The pedal system can be rotatable about the drive axis for rotatably driving the drive sprocket with rotation of the at least one pedal about the drive axis. The drive sprocket can also be capable of rotating relative to the pedal system in one direction. The pedal system is capable of allowing movement of the at least one pedal radially inward and outward relative to the drive axis. An auxiliary transmission system can be coupled between the pedal system and the drive sprocket for further rotatably driving the drive sprocket with the at least one of the radially inward and outward movement of the at least one pedal. A clutch system can be coupled between the pedal system and the drive sprocket for allowing the auxiliary transmission system to rotatably drive the drive sprocket with the at least one of the radially inward and outward movement of the at least one pedal.
