Abstract: An implement for measuring an individual's skin temperature which is convenient and easy to use. Two liquid crystal indicators are attached to a base which is convenient to the user. When the user touches the implement, the liquid crystals would indicate how close the individual is to an individually tailored goal temperature which is a function of the state of relaxation of the individual. Depending upon how close the individual is to his goal temperature, a number of learned relaxation "cues" is utilized to help the individual obtain his goal temperature.

Abstract: A hot melt adhesive especially useful for producing PET bottle assemblies comprises a blend of: (1) a block copolymer selected from the class consisting of: (a) A-B-A block copolymer where A is a monovinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and B is either a conjugated diene or a rubbery mono-olefin and (b) a teleblock copolymer comprising molecules having at least three branches radially branching out from a central hub, each said branch having polystyrene terminal blocks and a butadiene segment in the center; (2) an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer; (3) a tackifying resin which serves to extend the adhesive properties of the system; (4) a stabilizer; and (5) a wax or oil diluent. PET bottle assemblies prepared using the above adhesive compositions are more resistant to separation than those prepared with prior art compositions not containing the ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer.
