Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for preparing a multilayer coating system on a substrate including at least the steps of applying a first primer coating material composition to a substrate (step (1)), applying a second base coating material composition to the first coating film formed in step (1) prior to curing the first coating film and forming a second coating film (step (2)), applying a third clear coating material composition to the second coating film formed in step (2) prior to curing the second coating film and forming a third coating film (step (3)), and jointly curing the first, second and third coating films (step (4)).

Abstract: A double coating, curing method, cured coating, and kit are provided. A first layer of the double coating can be a first cure coating composition, which has a first hydroxy-functional resin, a first crosslinking agent, and a non-polar catalyst. A second layer of a second cure coating composition can have a second hydroxy-functional resin, a second crosslinking agent, and a polar catalyst. The non-polar catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The polar catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The polarity of the catalysts can facilitate catalyst migration from one layer to the other. The separate compositions can be shelf-stable and/or the curing can occur at low temperature.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve is provided that includes a housing and a flap. The housing includes a plurality of receptacle members with openings therebetween, and the flap is configured to be accepted by the housing and to contact the receptacle members in a closed position. Further, the flap covers the openings and inhibits airflow through the openings in a closed position, and the flap is biasable to allow airflow through the openings in an open position.

Abstract: A system and method automatically enters financial transactions such as credit card transactions into a financial account stored in a computer. A financial statement incorporating the transactions is provided in an electronic form understood by the computer, such as a computer data file, for updating the financial account. For a credit card account, the electronic statement includes one or more credit card transactions such as purchases. Before accepting the electronic statement, the process verifies that the electronic form of the statement has not been altered since its creation and therefore correctly reflects transactions in the original statement. In the process of entering the transactions, they are tracked by automatically assigning them to expense categories. First the process determines from the electronic statement if a payee for a transaction is of record in the computer and, if so, assigns the transaction to a category already associated with the payee.

Abstract: A fishing float comprising a spindle at an upper portion, a bob consisting of an inner shell enclosed by an outer shell at a middle portion and a tail at a lower portion. The inner shell is extensible with respect to the outer shell and thus an adjustable airtight space is formed. Meanshile, the inner shell and the tail are formed of a spiraled plastic strip which provides good flexiblity to endure an accidental impact or bending force.
