  • POLYORGANOSILOXANE HAVING POLY(METH)ACRYLATE GROUPS AND METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230312835
    Abstract: A polydiorganosiloxane having both a silicon bonded aliphatically unsaturated group and a silicon bonded poly(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymer, and method for preparation of this polydiorganosiloxane are disclosed. The method preserves the aliphatically unsaturated groups when grafting the poly(meth)acrylate to the polydiorganosiloxane. This polydiorganosiloxane is useful in hydrosilylation reaction curable compositions, such as pressure sensitive adhesive compositions.
    Type: Application

  • Hands-free fishing lure illumination apparatus
    Patent number: 7290897
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus includes a base having a bottom surface and a mounting portion that is operably disposed above the bottom surface by between about one and one hundred centimeters, and a lamp device having a housing and a lamp, and being secured to the mounting portion in an orientation enabling radiant energy to be emitted from the lamp device in a predetermined direction. The lamp device further includes an actuation mechanism disposed at one or more of the housing and the base, such that the lamp may be selectively energized and de-energized by a user through a hands-free operation.
