Abstract: The present invention relates to composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of single phase crosslinked low Tg microspheres and film-forming polyurethane particles. The composition of the present invention is useful as a basecoat layer for a multilayered leather article.

Abstract: A non-chemical sustainable treatment reactor process utilizing electrochemistry for treating and reducing certain long chain inorganic and organic compounds including TSS, silica, color, BOD among other mineral compounds in drinking water, grey water and wastewater streams. The electrocoagulation reactor chamber is built into a modular platform for ease of use and replacement of the metallic material as it used in this electrochemical process. The process is scalable for smaller and larger flow rate application when required using a continuous batch process. The reactor process includes a system controller integrating Artificial intelligence (AI) technology to optimize the system parameters and energy consumption based on the inlet water quality.

Abstract: Provided is a method of bio polymer soil additive used in both lawns, landscaping, agriculture and horticulture plant, vegetable, fruit growing operations. This bio polymer soil additive contains a blend of zeolite organic mineral compounds and a bio-polymer compound with ion exchange, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties to enhance plant growth and prevent plant disease. This soil additive is used in landscaping, agricultural field and horticultural greenhouse operations to enhance plant, vegetable, and fruit production yield while reducing cost of fertilizer usage and the damaging effects of soil eutrophication on the environment.

Abstract: A folding data card has two parts connected at a common edge such that the two parts can rotate relative to each other. A data encoded strip on one of the parts is spaced inwardly from the common edge a standard distance. When the card is folded with the strip facing out, the strip can be read by a standard card reader. When the card is folded with the strip facing in, the strip is protected. A removable third part is provided for retail display.
