Abstract: The present invention relates to novel processes for the preparation of sterically hindered amine ethers by the transformation of a corresponding oxo-piperidin to a hydroxy or amino substituted sterically hindered amine ether and the preparation of a N-propoxy or N-propenoxy substituted sterically hindered amine and some novel compounds obtainable by these processes. The compounds made by these processes are particularly effective in the stabilization of polymer compositions against harmful effects of light, oxygen and/or heat and as flame-retardants for polymers.

Abstract: An enclosure containing and operating electronic equipment is envisioned. The enclosure alleviates sound energy emanating from the enclosure. The enclosure is made from a plurality of exterior walls. An aperture is disposed in one of the exterior walls, where the aperture is operable to draw an airflow into the enclosure. A structure is disposed adjacent to the aperture interior to the enclosure. The interior structure is made of a first wall disposed in the enclosure to block the aperture from a line of sight to a noise source emanating from within the enclosure. The interior structure also has a lower wall, an upper wall, and a side wall all connected to the first wall. The interior structure forms an open-ended cage about the aperture.

Abstract: A card comprises an antenna configured to generate and receive radio frequency signals, a chip coupled with the antenna, the chip configured to store sensitive information and communicate the information to an authorized reader via the antenna, and a switching mechanism configured to tune and detune the antenna relative to the chip to enable and disable respectively, the chips ability to communicate the sensitive information via the antenna.

Abstract: A nail polish composition comprises a cellulosic filmogenic polymer, a plasticizer and one or more solvents, and is characterized in that it includes 20 to 200% by weight, relative to the cellulosic polymer, of at least one second filmogenic polymer partially insoluble in the cellulosic polymer, giving rise to settling into at least two stable and separate liquid phases at rest. Preferably, the second filmogenic polymer is a vinyl resin, for example polyvinylbutyral. After agitation, this composition has a homogeneous appearance, and can be applied to the nails like a conventional polish.

Abstract: A method for selectively removing metal from a metallized substrate (e.g., a metallized polymer film) and the formation of devices thereby are provided. Th method involves selectively exposing the metallized surface to a demetallizing (i.e., an oxidizing) chemical solution. The metallized layer can be selectively exposed to the demetallizing solution using a flexographic printing process wherein printing rollers are used to transfer the demetallizing solution to the metallized surface. An identification device including, for example, a holographic, retro-reflective, or other metallized material and a radio-frequency transponder are also provided. The radio-frequency transponder includes an RF chip and an antenna in electrical communication with the chip. The identification device including the holographic image allows both electronic identification through the reading or identification data stored in the chip and optical identification via the holographic image.

Abstract: A vent for a computer enclosure is envisioned. The vent system has a fan, operable to draw a flow of air from within the enclosure and direct it out through an outlet vent disposed in a wall of the enclosure. The outlet vent is made of an outlet path. The outlet path is defined by a first and a second side member. The first and second side members are attached to the enclosure and form an environmental seal. The outlet vent also has an outlet face oriented at a first angle relative to the wall. A plurality of slats are rotatably coupled to the outlet face. The plurality of slats maintain a first position when the fan is not operating. When the fan goes into an operational mode and produces an airflow, the plurality of slats swing radially outward to a second position. The plurality of slats return to the first position when the airflow is not present. The angle of the slats in the first position is nearer to parallel to the first angle than when in the second position.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a radio frequency identification device that utilizes multiple operating frequencies. In one embodiment of the present invention, one frequency (e.g., an ultra-high frequency such as 915 MHz, 800 MHz, 915 MHz, or microwave frequency such as 2.45 GHz) is used for data transmission, and another frequency (e.g., a low or high frequency such as 13.56 MHz) is used for field penetration. In another embodiment, one frequency is used for reading information received from the multi-frequency identification device, and another frequency is used for writing to the multi-frequency identification device. In an additional embodiment, the multi-frequency identification device utilizes one antenna for all frequencies. In another embodiment, the multi-frequency identification device utilizes two or more antennas for different frequencies, and one common memory. In other embodiments, one or two digital parts, analog parts, antennas, and memories can be used.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for transmitting and receiving information from a radio frequency (RF) transponder. A conductive adhesive connects an antenna in a non-metallized region to a metallized region. This feature transforms the entire metallized region of the radio frequency device (i.e., the remainder of the metallized material outside the non-metallized region) into an antenna.
