  • Patent number: 12002381
    Abstract: A protective display case configured to encase memorabilia is provided. The protective display case includes a front chassis assembly having a front chassis and a front chassis glazing member. A gasket is seated in a groove formed in the front chassis. A spacer is seated over the front chassis glazing member. Memorabilia is positioned within a cutout formed in the spacer. A rear chassis assembly has a rear chassis and a rear chassis glazing member. The rear chassis assembly is attached to the front chassis assembly with the gasket, spacer and memorabilia positioned therebetween. A bezel is configured to cover perimeters of the front and rear chassis assemblies, gasket, spacer and memorabilia. Front and rear layers of protective glass are secured to the front and rear chassis assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11434380
    Abstract: Provided are aqueous primer compositions and methods that can be useful for protecting primary structures on an aircraft. The primer composition can contain a thermosetting resin dispersion in water, a coalescent solvent in which the thermosetting resin is at least partially soluble, a first curative that is substantially water-insoluble, and a second curative that is substantially water-soluble. Optionally, the primer composition further contains an epoxy silane, where the primer composition is substantially free of any liquid or water-soluble curatives containing a primary or secondary amine group.

  • Patent number: 11279795
    Abstract: Provided are curable compositions including a base part comprising an amine-reactive curable resin and a curative part comprising a polymeric toughener dissolved in an amine. The polymeric toughener, optionally a rubbery polymer or thermoplastic polymer, is solid at ambient conditions with a weight average molecular weight of at least 5,000 g/mol while the amine is a liquid at ambient conditions. The curable composition is cured by mixing the base and curative parts with each other. Hardened compositions obtained thereof can achieve increased toughener loading, resulting in high peel and shear strength performance over a wide range of temperatures, including at temperatures exceeding 180° F. (82° C.).
