  • Patent number: 9695309
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to rotomolded articles, having a wall structure, where the wall structure contains at least one layer containing an ethylene interpolymer product, or a blend containing an ethylene interpolymer product, where the ethylene interpolymer product has: a Dilution Index (Yd) greater than ?1.0; total catalytic metal ?3.0 ppm; ?0.03 terminal vinyl unsaturations per 100 carbon atoms. The ethylene interpolymer products have a melt index from about 0.5 to about 15 dg/minute, a density from about 0.930 to about 0.955 g/cm3, a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) from about 2 to about 6 and a CDBI50 from about 50% to about 98%. Further, the ethylene interpolymer products are a blend of at least two ethylene interpolymers; where one ethylene interpolymer is produced with a single-site catalyst formulation and at least one ethylene interpolymer is produced with a heterogeneous catalyst formulation.

  • Publication number: 20170179633
    Abstract: A cable end termination is for a coaxial cable that includes inner and outer conductors and a dielectric layer therebetween that is subject to outgassing in a vacuum environment. The cable end termination may include a tubular bi-metallic body that includes a first longitudinal portion including a first metal and a second longitudinal portion joined with the first longitudinal portion and that includes a second metal having a different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the first metal. The tubular bi-metallic body may have a first end receiving the coaxial cable and a second end opposite the first end that carries a dielectric body to define a hermetic seal for the dielectric layer in the vacuum environment. A center pin contact may extend through the dielectric body, and a center conductor contact may couple the center pin contact to the inner conductor.

  • Publication number: 20170164090
    Abstract: Headphones that have one or two earphones. A headband carries the earphones such that they are held against the head of a wearer. A coupling member is located between the earphone and the headband, the coupling member pivotably mounted to the headband at a joint having a first axis around which the coupling member pivots, such that the earphone can be moved from a deployed position in which the earphone is positioned to be worn by the wearer to a stowed position in which the earphone is located closer to the headband than it is in the deployed position. A conductive cable runs from the earphone to the headband through the coupling member. The cable is held in place at a first anchor location in the headband, proximate the coupling member. There is slack in the cable between the first anchor location and the coupling member at least when the earphone is in the deployed position.

  • Publication number: 20170150709
    Abstract: A portable attractant including a container, an absorbent pad and a heat bag is provided. The container is porous to allow scent from the absorbent pad to escape the container. The absorbent pad is disposed within the container and is operable to retain a scent substance within. The heat bag may be disposed in the container adjacent the absorbent pad. The heat bag includes a pouch and a mixture disposed within the pouch. The mixture is configured to produce an exothermic reaction, thereby heating the scent and making the scent exiting the container more prominent.

  • Publication number: 20160326635
    Abstract: A coating system includes a vacuum chamber and a coating assembly. The coating assembly has a coating assembly which includes a vapor source, a substrate holder to hold substrates to be coated such that the substrates are positioned in front of the vapor source, a primary cathodic vacuum-arc assembly, a remote anode electrically coupled to the cathode target, a primary power supply connected between the cathode target and the primary anode, and a secondary power supply connected between the cathode target and the remote anode. The primary cathodic vacuum-arc assembly includes a cathode chamber assembly, a cathode target, an optional primary anode and a shield which isolates the cathode target from the vacuum chamber. The shield defines openings for transmitting either electron emission current or metal vapor plasma from the cathode target into the vacuum chamber. The vapor source is positioned between the cathode chamber assembly and the remote anode.
