  • Patent number: 10131758
    Abstract: Disclosed are polyurethane foam-forming compositions with a phase stable isocyanate-reactive composition that includes a halogenated olefin blowing agent that has low or no ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. Such polyurethane foam-forming compositions are suitable for spray application to produce polyurethane foams that are believed to exhibit good fire resistance properties, low smoke generation and low or no scorch due to reduced exotherm, thereby making them particularly suitable for use, for example, as relatively thick wall and/or roof insulation.

  • Publication number: 20060080354
    Abstract: A method and corresponding equipment for selecting data objects from a set of data objects in a source data store according to a predetermined method for assigning utility for each of the data objects in the set of data objects. The predetermined method for assigning utility typically takes into account a plurality of factors, and provides weights for each, so that, for example, the utility assigned to a data object decreases in time, but is enhanced if the data object has not yet been viewed by a user or if the data object is marked to indicate that a follow-up action is required. The invention is of use for example as part of or in connection with a mobile phone messaging user agent that stores in the mobile phone only the higher utility data objects (messages) in a full set of data objects.

  • Patent number: 5897474
    Abstract: A unique biomechanical balancing and exercising device for rehabilitating body muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in the ankles, legs, knees, and back in order to strengthen these areas to prevent injury. The balancing and exercising device comprises a rectangular shaped platform with a central opening therethrough to accommodate a semi flexible ball member. The platform utilizes a semi flexible ball member so that the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions and have the angle of drop much steeper. A pair of ball-shaped rigid members are mounted on the platform and located adjacent to and on opposite sides of the central opening for balancing on and securing the semi flexible ball member therebetween. The platform is placed on top of the semi flexible ball member such that the central opening accommodates a top portion of the semi flexible ball member, and thereby allows the platform to be independently tilted or pivoted front-to-back up to a 25.degree.

  • Patent number: 5186472
    Abstract: A unitized seal includes a first seal casing having a radially-extending unitizing flange and a second seal casing having an annular elastomeric bumper. The bumper has an engagement surface which confronts the unitizing flange for engagement therewith. Upon installation of the seal, the unitizing flange compresses the bumper. Upon initial rotation of the seal, the unitizing flange slices into the bumper so as to form a labyrinth-type seal. This arrangement reduces running torque and seal lip temperature.

  • Patent number: 4936591
    Abstract: A unitized seal includes a first seal casing having a plastically deformable radially-extending unitizing flange and a second seal casing having at least one axially extending projection. The projection has an engagement surface which confronts the unitizing flange for engagement therewith. Upon installation of the seal, the projection axially deforms the unitizing flange in a localized area about the projection. Upon initial rotation of the seal the projection further axially deforms the remainder of the unitizing flange within one rotation. This arrangement minimizes the production of metal chips and/or abraded elastomeric particles during seal break-in and further minimizes resistance to seal rotation during break-in.

  • Patent number: 4433846
    Abstract: A fluid seal with sealing lips having a casing with a generally annular mounting flange portion, a second flange portion with portions thereof extending radially from the mounting portion and being subdivided into an intermediate portion and a bonding portion. At least one venting tab is formed by piercing the intermediate casing portion. The venting tab area provides a vent permitting passage of gas and vapor into and out of the sealed region. The tab area also is capable of removal or bending when engaged with a removal tool.
