  • Patent number: 10669403
    Abstract: A polyolefin composition includes a polyolefin substrate having incorporated therein a nucleating agent and a filler, wherein the composition exhibits an impact strength of >35 in-lb measured according to ASTM D4226, and a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of <4.5×10E-05 in/in/ft measured according to ASTM D696. The polyolefin composition may further include one or more of an ultraviolet light absorber, a hindered amine light stabilizer, an antioxidant, a colorant, a flame retardant, and an antimicrobial compound. The polyolefin compositions may be useful for construction articles for outdoor use, for instance house siding, cladding, soffit or roofing.

  • Publication number: 20180049480
    Abstract: A multifunctional article of clothing for babies and toddlers is presented. In an embodiment, the multifunctional baby garment comprises a one-piece bodysuit with a set of fold-over mitten cuffs and a set of fold-over foot cuffs, which enables a parent or caregiver to change the function of the garment from a romper-style playsuit into a loungewear-style sleeper. The set of mitten cuffs can fold over the baby's or toddler's hands to prevent it from scratching its face and to keep them warm, and the set of foot cuffs can fold over the baby's or toddler's feet to keep them warm so that he or she can sleep comfortably. Both the mitten cuffs and foot cuffs can be folded up and out of the way when the baby awakes and is ready for active playtime or walking, without requiring an additional wardrobe change for the transition.

  • Publication number: 20140288985
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for managing objectives in an organization. A server may receive an objective at a first level of an objective hierarchy. The objective may be associated with a completion indicator providing progress towards completing the objective. Other objectives at a lower level of the objective hierarchy may be determined. The other objectives may also include completion indicators. The progress of the completion indicator of the objective at the first level of the objective hierarchy may be based on the completion indicators of the objectives at the lower level of the objective hierarchy.

  • Patent number: 8021036
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for improved mixing of yeast-raised and yeast-raised type dough. The device and method keep the dough cool by an improved structure and method for circulating coolant around a jacketed bowl, and by circulating cooled air through the spinning agitator roller bars. Better aeration of the dough and faster mixing time are achieved along with full water and flour absorption, and reduced operating temperatures by controlling placing of the agitator driveshaft in a carefully defined region. Finally, the invention provides a wiper for wiping the lip of the bowl to keep it clean of dough and to insure a proper seal along the bowl lip when a resilient, expandable bowl seal is used, and it provides a pneumatic seal for securely sealing the mix ingredients in the bowl during mixing.
