  • Patent number: 10961344
    Abstract: A polymer is provided that preferably includes at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group. In one embodiment, the polymer is combined with an optional crosslinker and an optional carrier to form a coating composition suitable for use in coating articles such as packaging articles. In one embodiment, the polymer has at least one unsaturated cycloaliphatic group that is at least bicyclic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 17, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 30, 2021
    Assignee: The Sherwin-Williams Company
    Inventors: Charles Skillman, Paul E. Share, Greg Paulson, Richard H. Evans, Benoit Prouvost, Paul Stenson, T. Howard Killilea, Carl L. Cavallin, Danny Hartinger, Larry B. Brandenburger
  • Patent number: 10847975
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques to evaluate power usage and characteristics on a power distribution system. The power distribution system may include local distribution systems as well as transmission systems. Additionally, this disclosure describes techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR), for example, by using two variable characteristics to model a power load as a sum of a constant impedance load and a constant power load.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10625301
    Abstract: Disclosed are Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol F, Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), and Bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE)-free coating compositions for metal substrates including an under-coat composition containing a polyester (co)polymer, and an under-coat cross-linker; and an over-coat composition containing a poly(vinyl chloride) (co)polymer dispersed in a substantially nonaqueous carrier liquid, an over-coat cross-linker, and a functional (meth)acrylic (co)polymer. Also provided is a method of coating a metal substrate using the BPA, BPF, BADGE and BFDGE-free coating system to produce a hardened protective coating useful in fabricating metal storage containers. The coated substrate is particularly useful in fabricating multi-part foodstuffs storage containers with “easy-open” end closures.
