Abstract: A polymer based antimicrobial coating composition comprising water; polyol; paint additives; hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI hardener); a catalyst; and an antimicrobial agent, wherein said water takes up between 30% to 35% of the polymer composition by weight, and the polymer has a pentane adipate diol with dimethyl propionic acid functionality with an acid number from 75 to 95 and hydroxyl number from 320 to 360, and amounts to 12% to 15% of the polymer composition by weight.

Abstract: A system and method for creating and coating a polymer-based coatings, in particular, a two-component aliphatic polymer-based coating with antimicrobial properties. The donning and coating of the polymer compound provides a protective layer on a surface that provides support and protection against diseases and infections for passing individuals. The polymer is composed of a two-part composition; the first part of the polymer made out of a combination of water, polylol, and paint additives, and the other part of the polymer made out of a combination of hexamethalyne, a catalyst, and an antimicrobial agent. The two-part polymer provides an antimicrobial layer on a surface in an effort to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Abstract: A substantially solvent free aqueous two-component coating composition dispersion which, when applied to a substrate, cures to a film having properties of adhesion and bonding which are equal to or superior to films obtained from conventional solvent-based two-component polyurethane or epoxy systems. The first component is a combined aqueous polyol phase and an amine phase. The polyol phase a member consisting of an acid containing polyol or a blend of polyols containing an acid containing polyol such that the average hydroxyl functionality of the polyol phase is at least 1.5 and has an acid number of between about 15 and 200. The amine phase is an amine or blend of amines containing active hydrogens reactive with NCO groups such that the average active hydrogen functionality is at least 1.5. The amine phase is present in a quantity sufficient to substantially neutralize the acid containing polyols.

Abstract: A water based, solvent free, two component polyurethane-polyurea dispersion containing up to 65% solids. The first component is a polyester-polyol phase and an aqueous amine phase mixture. The polyester-polyol is a combination of modified polyester-polyols, low viscosity polyether or polyester-polyols, chain extending low molecular weight polyols, neutralizing amines and a detergent. It has a solids content of 90-100% and is totally hydroxyl functional with a carboxylic acid number of 10 and 50, an hydroxyl number of 180 and 300, an equivalent weight range of 165 and 365 and a viscosity of 600-1500 cps at 25.degree. C. The amine phase is an combination of neutralizing and chain extending amines having ratios preformulated to provide a balanced chain extending cross-linking reaction in aqueous phase with --NCO reactive groups. The aqueous amine blend has an equivalent weight of 40 to 50 and a solids content of 40-60%.

Abstract: A livestock feeding apparatus (10) comprises a feeding bin unit (13) rotatably disposed relative to both the inside and outside of a stall (100). The feeding apparatus is provided with a locking unit (15) that captively engages a rotatable panel closure unit (12) bearing the feeding bin unit (13) relative to a framework unit (11) installed in the front panel (101) of the stall (100). The feeding bin unit (13) can be disposed in a captive engagement within the stall (100) by the actuation of the locking unit (15) on the outside of the stall.

Abstract: A control system for an automatic pin spotter which permits the drive motor of the pin spotter to run only when needed so that energy is not wasted in the needless running of the motor and other portions of the pin spotter. The control system includes means for sensing when the pin spotter has a pin deck that is full of pins, sensing when the pin spotter is going through a pin spotting cycle and sensing whether a ball is in the pin spotter. The motor is allowed to run if the pin deck is not full, if there is a pin spotter cycle in progress, and if the bowling ball is in the pin spotter and otherwise it is turned off.
