Abstract: A process for repairing a marine surface is provided that includes the mixing of the part A and the part B until a terminal color change occurs within ±5 minutes of cure. The mixture is applied to a substrate of the marine surface in need of repair to a thickness of up to 6.35 mm. The cured mass has water absorption less than of 0.2% in freshwater or 0.15% in ocean water salinity. A marine repair composition is provided that includes in a part A: an unsaturated vinyl ester resin, a reactive diluent, a cure promoter, a cure inhibitor, a corrosion inhibitor and a filler. The part B includes a free-radical cure initiator stored separately from the part A until mixed with the part A to form the composition.

Abstract: A method for repairing a defect in a vehicle exterior body surface is provided that includes a scan data set being generated that corresponds to the dimensional surface boundaries of the defect. A manufacturing data set is created for an object at least in part complementary to the defect from the scan data. The object is formed from the manufacturing data set with a layered manufacturing device. The object is joined to the defect to repair the vehicle exterior body surface. An object is also provided formed of a thermoplastic or a UV cured polymer with a shape that is at least at least in part complementary to a defect vehicle exterior body surface. The object having a void therein with the shape configured to receive an insert or a fastener therein.

Abstract: A method for repairing small surface imperfections on a vehicle body is provided that includes the application of an uncured layer to a thickness of up to 1.02 mm of a composition inclusive of a polyester resin, an acrylated urethane resin, a defoamer, and a particulate filler to the vehicle body or a cured putty thereon. The uncured layer is then exposed to actinic radiation to induce cure of the uncured layer to form a coating to fill the small surface imperfection on the vehicle body. A one component, UV-cured putty material for repairing small surface imperfections is also provides inclusive of a polyester resin, an acrylated urethane oligomer or polymer, a defoamer, a photoinitiator, and a particulate filler. The composition has an uncured viscosity of between 9,000 and 13,000 centiPoise.

Abstract: A method for repairing surface imperfections on a vehicle body includes the application of an uncured layer to a thickness of up to 0.254 mm of a primer composition comprising: a polyester resin, an acrylated urethane resin, a crosslinking agent, a solvent, and a particulate filler to the vehicle body. The uncured layer is exposed to actinic radiation to induce cure of the uncured layer to form a coating to fill the surface imperfection on the vehicle body. A surface coating primer composition is also provided that includes a polyester resin; an acrylated urethane oligomer or polymer; a crosslinking agent; a solvent; a photoinitiator; and a particulate filler. The uncured composition has a viscosity of between 100 and 800 centipoise.

Abstract: Three dimensional (3-D) program content viewing system in a media environment with different media presentation devices detects a first synchronization signal transmitted from a first synchronization signal source, wherein the first synchronization signal is associated with first 3-D program content and includes a first signal identifier. The system detects a second synchronization signal transmitted from a second synchronization signal source, wherein the second synchronization signal is associated with second 3-D program content and includes a second signal identifier. The system then receives a selection of one of the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal and discriminates between the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal based upon the first signal identifier and the second signal identifier.

Abstract: A protective cover for windows and doors is formed of a resilient and flexible material such as rubber, for example, a rubber material made from recycled tires. The cover may be rolled up to form a cylinder for storage when not needed and then unrolled when needed to cover the window or door. A kit contains a pre-sized protective cover and means for securing the cover to a building. When needed, the cover is attached to a cover frame which holds the perimeter of the cover around the window or door to be protected, and support is provided, such as by straps extending across the cover frame, between the cover and the window or door to be protected to limit the stretching of the material.
