Abstract: An apparatus for training basketball players to “stay low” is disclosed. The training device has an outstretched arm under which a basketball player can train to “stay low.” In order to not injure the player, the outstretched arm moves if touched. The outstretched arm is able to move independently from the base of the device so that if a player touches the arm, the device does not tip over and fall, or generally move a very large distance that would require repositioning of the device.

Abstract: The invention provides coating compositions which are simultaneously sandable and self-healable shortly after application to a substrate and without the use of thermal curing. Said compositions have a film-forming component (A) with a first acrylic polymer (ai) having a number average molecular weight of from 1500 to 3000, an equivalent weight of from 375 to 475, and a plurality of functional groups wherein at least 60 to 100% of the functional groups are secondary hydroxyl groups, a second acrylic polymer (aii) having a number average molecular weight of from 3500 to 5000, an equivalent weight of from 550 to 750, and a plurality of functional groups with at least 75 to 100% of the functional groups being primary hydroxyl groups as well as a crosslinking component (B) comprising at least one aliphatic isocyanate functional trimer (bi), and at least one cycloaliphatic isocyanate functional trimer (bii).

Abstract: Automotive colorcoat paint compositions containing special effect pigment are disclosed. The special effect pigments include mica and the resultant paint composition has been especially useful in refinish paints.
