Abstract: A curable coating composition includes: (a) a binder having a film-forming resin with at least two functional groups, and (ii) a curing agent reactive with the functional groups of the film-forming resin; and (b) solid vulcanized rubber particles that are unreactive with the binder. The curable coating composition is a solid particulate powder coating composition. Multi-layer coating systems, coated substrates, and methods of preparing the curable coating composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a powder coating composition including: an addition polymer including epoxy functional groups: a carboxylic acid functional crosslinker: and a blocked isocyanate functional crosslinker. The addition polymer is obtained from components including at least one epoxy functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The components include an amount of the at least one epoxy functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer within a range of greater than 10 weight % and less than 22 weight %. based on the components that form the addition polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a powder coating composition including: an epoxy functional acrylic polymer: a hydroxyl functional polyester polymer including a first hydroxyl functional polyester polymer having an acid value of up to 10 and a weight average molecular weight of up to 20,000 g/mol: an acid functional crosslinker; and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker, where the powder coating composition includes at least 45 weight % of a combined total of the hydroxyl functional polyester polymer and the blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker, based on the total resin solids in the powder coating composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate having (a) a first material applied to at least a portion of the substrate, and (b) a coating layer deposited from a powder coating composition including a film-forming resin, and optionally a crosslinker that is reactive with the film-forming resin, in direct contact with at least a portion of the substrate to which the first material has been applied. The first material is (i) a catalyst that catalyzes cure of the powder coating composition, (ii) a component reactive with the film-forming resin and/or the crosslinker of the powder coating composition, and/or (iii) a rheology modifier.

Abstract: Human voice activity in proximity to a printing device is detected. Printing of the print job is based on the detected human voice activity. For instance, starting of print job printing can be based on the detected human voice activity. Controlling of print job printing after printing has started can also be based on the detected human voice activity.

Abstract: A video display engineering and optimization CAD simulation system for designing a LCD display integrates models of a display device circuit, electro-optics, surface geometry, and physiological optics to model the system performance of a display. This CAD system permits system performance and design trade-offs to be evaluated without constructing a physical prototype of the device. The systems includes a series of modules which permit analysis of design trade-offs in terms of their visual impact on a viewer looking at a display.

Abstract: A method for determining the energy consumption of a processor when executing a program is provided. The method initially selects the processor which will execute the program and then creates a model of energy used by said processor as a function of a plurality of instructions operable by said processor. The program whose energy consumption is to be determined is then executed using the energy model to determine the energy consumption of the program on the processor.
