Abstract: Described is a lens cap with an integrated threaded screw that allows the cap to be stored on the camera securely without the use of any additional hardware. In one embodiment, a standard camera lens cap has a screw as found on standard male tripod mounts protruding from the front of the lens cap. When the camera is in use, the screw protruding from the lens cap may be used to secure the lens cap to the threaded female tripod mount found on the underside of most cameras.

Abstract: An impact resistant composite metal structure (IRCMS) loaded by static and dynamic loads has high-strength reinforcing elements embedded in a ductile base member. The present invention gives an opportunity to utilize plastic property of base members in order to increase impact resistance and strength-to-weight ratio of the composite metal structures. The present invention can be applied to building and bridge construction, automotive industry, mining equipment, ship and plane construction; anywhere a structure works under conditions of substantial dynamical forces.

Abstract: This invention relates to an aerosol hair spray formulation containing 0.5 to 15 weight percent of a water-dispersible or water-dissipatible, linear sulfopolyester having a Tg of 40.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. and an inherent viscosity of 0.24 to 0.60 dl/g which contains repeat units from 20 to 26 mole percent dimethyl-5-sodiosulfoisophthalate and 74 to 80 mole percent isophthalic acid, based on 100 mole percent dicarboxylic acid; 10 to 30 mole percent 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and 70 to 90 percent diethylene glycol, based on 100 mole percent diol; and up to 60 weight percent of an alcohol. The aerosol hair spray formulations are clear, have improved dry time and curl retention, and exhibit less than 20 NTU's, which is a measure of turbidity, even at high concentrations of alcohol.

Abstract: This invention relates to an aqueous nail coating composition and method for coloring nails comprising the use of a water-dispersible, colored sulfopolyester wherein the colorant moiety is incorporated into or onto a carbonyloxy and/or carbonylamide backbone of the sulfopolyester. The sulfopolyesters are uniquely designed to offer cosmetically desirable color coatings on nails.

Abstract: A clear hair spray formulation which exhibits less than 30 NTU's and contains a linear sulfopolyester and a water-soluble polymer wherein the formulation is in water or a water/alcohol mixture. The sulfopolyester has a glass transition temperature of 40.degree. C. to 60.degree. C. and contains repeat units from the reaction product of a dicarboxylic acid, a diol and a difunctional sulfomonomer. The difunctional sulfomonomer is present in an amount from 18.5 to 22.5 mole percent based on 100 mole percent dicarboxylic acid and 100 mole percent diol. The hair spray formulation may optionally contain a propellant.
