Abstract: A UFAD system with bifurcated air towers. The air towers are bifurcated in the sense that the air columns are fan-less and coil-less, and fans for delivering pressurized air to the air columns, and hence to the underfloor plenum of the UFAD system, are in overhead ceiling air ducts and spaced away from the air columns. Cooling coils could be located in a remote air handling unit that feeds conditioned air to the overhead ceiling air ducts to be pressurized by the fans.

Abstract: A downlight lighting assembly comprising a plurality of notches and engaging members to ease the alignment and assembly of the components. The downlight lighting assembly comprises an LED chip removably connected to a heatsink with a mixing chamber secured to the heatsink, where securing the mixing chamber to the heatsink provides the compressive force for an LED connector to engage and provide the electrical connection to the LED chip. The heatsink also has a plurality of protrusions on its upper edge to engage a lower wall of a reflector to secure the reflector to the lighting assembly.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and method of manufacturing the same. In a preferred embodiment, the RFID tag includes a radio frequency (RF) inlay, the RF inlay including a carrier sheet, an antenna printed on the carrier sheet and a wireless communication device bonded to the antenna. The RFID tag also includes a plastic extrudate, the RF inlay being disposed within the extrudate so that the antenna and the wireless communication device are encapsulated on all sides within the extrudate. Optional metallic reflector and mounting adhesive layers may be laminated onto the underside of the extrudate. The present invention is also directed to an automated method for manufacturing the above RFID tag, such a method involving, in one embodiment, feeding a continuous supply of RF inlays into a cross-head extruder to yield a continuously extruded block and then cutting the block between successive antennae to yield a plurality of individual RFID tags.

Abstract: A low volatile organic compounds hair spray microemulsion in the form of a stable, clear, single phase system in which the particles therein have a diameter of less than 1 micron, consisting essentially of, by weight,(a) an ethyl half-ester of a copolymer of maleic anhydride and an alkyl vinyl ether in an amount of less than 20%, optionally neutralized up to 20 mole %,(b) an ethoxylated glycerol fatty acid ester as the surfactant having a hydrophobic-lipophilic balance of 10-18, in an amount of at least 0.1%,(c) ethanol in an amount of 55% or less, and(d) water to 100%.

Abstract: A 0% VOC, single phase hair spray composition of a water-insoluble polymer wherein substantially all the particles therein have a diameter of less than 1 micron, i.e. a microemulsion.
