Abstract: A machine-readable symbol reader can capture a cubic data set of an object carrying a machine-readable symbol. The machine-readable symbol reader can include a hyperspectral sensor, and the cubic data set may include image data for the machine-readable symbol within multiple, different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. The cubic data may be separated into portions that are each analyzed by specific processors, and those separate analyses can be used to increase the capabilities and efficiency compared to known machine-readable symbol readers.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I, II; III or IV wherein the general symbols are as defined in claim 1. These compounds are useful as surface modifiers for polymers in order to improve resistance to fog formation or water and oil repellency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flame retardant lighting assembly comprising thermoplastic insulation, plugs and sockets. The thermoplastic resin is for example polypropylene homopolymer and comprises a synergistic combination of an N-alkoxyoxy hindered amine and a conventional organohalogen flame retardant. The addition of low levels of acid scavengers such as hydrotalcites is advantageous.

Abstract: Organic polymer substrates, for example polyolefins such as polypropylene, can be made flame retardant by the incorporation of a mixture of (i) at least one melamine based flame retardant and (ii) at least one flame retardant selected from the group consisting of the organohalogen and phosphorus containing flame retardants. Further optional flame retardants include antimony compounds and sterically hindered amines.

Abstract: Organic polymeric substrates, for example polyolefins such as polypropylene, can be made flame retardant by the incorporation of a synergistic mixture of (i) at least one sterically hindered amine stabilizer, (ii) at least one conventional flame retardant selected from the group consisting of the organohalogen, phosphorus containing, isocyanurate and melamine based flame retardants and (iii) at least one acid scavenger. The compositions of the invention combine good flame retardant properties with light stability and good mechanical properties. Polyolefin molded articles are stabilized against light, heat and oxygen and made flame retardant with the incorporation of at least one sterically hindered amine and at least one conventional flame retardant, while allowing normally high levels of flame-retardant fillers to be greatly reduced or eliminated.
