Abstract: APs are made by binary condensation via base-to-acid or acid-to-base routes. In the base-to-acid route, an aluminum hydroxide slurry is added to phosphoric acid that reacts to produce an aluminum phosphate condensate. In the acid-to-base route, phosphoric acid is added to an aluminum hydroxide slurry that reacts to produce an aluminum phosphate condensate. In an alternative base-to-acid route, an acidic aluminum phosphate is first made by adding phosphoric acid to a first amount of aluminum hydroxide slurry, and such acidic aluminum phosphate is added to a remaining amount of aluminum hydroxide slurry to react and produce an aluminum phosphate condensate. The reactions can be controlled to form an in-situ layered aluminum phosphate. So-formed APs can be amorphous, crystalline, or a combination thereof, and have low oil absorption and surface area, making them particularly useful in such end-use applications as extender pigments in coating compositions, replacing up to 70 wt % of TiO2.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for a smart profiler are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An allowable number of interrupts for use by a profiler application is determined. A count number for a counter is determined. The counter is configured to count occurrences of an event in a data processing system up to the count number. An interrupt is raised when the counter has counted the occurrences of the event up to the count number. The interrupt is processed. The counting of occurrences of the event, raising the interrupt, and processing the interrupt are repeated for a predetermined time. A decision is made whether a total number of interrupts raised in the predetermined period differs from the allowable number. The count number of the counter is adjusted to cause the difference between the total number of interrupts in the predetermined period and the allowable number to decrease.

Abstract: A product storage and merchandising unit adaptable for attachment to the underside portion of existing product merchandising equipment, the present unit having a plurality of openings positioned adjacent at least a portion of either the top or bottom portion of each of the opposed side portions thereof, the openings being adaptable for receiving appropriate attachment members for attaching the unit to the underside portion of the product merchandising equipment located thereabove. The attachment members may take the form of hook members, tie-type fasteners or other appropriate members, each attachment member being engageable with both the existing product merchandising equipment and at least one of the openings associated with the opposed side portions of the unit. In one embodiment, at least two sets of openings positioned in spaced apart parallel and aligned relationship to each other are associated with each of the opposed side portions of the unit.

Abstract: A product merchandising unit for holding and displaying multiple and different types of products, the unit including a cooler assembly for holding and displaying chilled products and at least one display rack for holding and displaying periodicals.

Abstract: A multipurpose panel structure formed of a relatively thin resilient type material adaptable for use both as a container device and as a display sign, the panel structure comprising a relatively flat one-piece wall member having a cooperatively engageable interlocking arrangement associated therewith enabling the wall member to be formed into an open-ended closed wall structure capable of standing on end to form a container device, the cooperatively engageable interlocking arrangement being releasably detachable so as to enable the wall member to return to its normally flat condition for use as a display sign. The present wall member can be formed into a cylindrical shape, or it can be scored or otherwise weakened at various locations on its surface so as to form a multi-sided container structure. Any plurality of the present wall members may be connected together to form a multitude of container sizes and shapes.
