  • Patent number: 10268096
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrochromic element comprising two substrates having electrically conductive insides, a layered operating electrode which comprises a metal complex compound and which is capable of entering into a redox reaction where the transition from the oxidized to the reduced state is attended by an increase of color depth and the transition from the reduced to the oxidized state is attended by a corresponding weakening of color, an electrolyte layer in the form of a transparent, flexible film, and a counterelectrode[ATI(D1] which is capable of intercalating mobile cations of the electrolyte material and/or of entering into a redox reaction in which when the material of the second electrode changes from the oxidized to the reduced state it exhibits no increase of color depth in the wavelength region of the increase of color depth of the metal complex compound and preferably is not subject to any increase of color depth at all, where the electrolyte layer comprises at least the following co

  • Patent number: 6946004
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of grafted polymers as greying inhibitors during the washing and aftertreatment of textile goods. Said polymers are obtained by polymerising A) 10 to 95 wt. % of grafted monomers containing, in relation to A), a) 1 to 99 wt. % of at least one vinyl ester, b) 1 to 99 wt. % of at least one N-vinyl lactam, c) 0 to 90 wt. % of at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer which can be copolymerized with monomers a) and b), and d) 0 to 5 wt. % of at least one monomer having at least two ethylenically unsaturated, non-conjugated double bonds in the molecule, in the presence of A) 5 to 90 wt. % of at least one polymer B), chosen from polyalkylene oxides containing at least 3 units of a C2 to C4 alkylene oxide, and polytetrahydrofuranes containing at least 3 units of tetramethyl oxide units, and the mixtures thereof.

  • Patent number: 4418590
    Abstract: The screw assembly comprises a drive unit whose output shaft (14) can be connected with a button die to be applied to a screw head.To prevent the casing (10) of the drive unit from rotating, it is fitted with a retainer (24) which is placed against a solid abutment.The retainer (24) has a ring (23) enclosing the output shaft and being connected via a torsionally elastic element (16) with the casing (10).Torsional deformation of the torsionally elastic element (16) is used as a measure for the torque acting on the screw head.
