Abstract: Pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions that resist water-whitening are provided. The compositions comprise emulsion copolymers formed from a plurality of monomers that includes a plurality of (meth)acrylic monomers, at least one trifluoroalkyl(meth)acrylate monomer, and at least one alkylimidazolidone (meth)acrylate monomer. Preferably, the (meth)acrylic monomers comprise a plurality of soft monomers, at least one hard monomer and at least one acid monomer. The plurality of monomers may further include at least one aliphatic urethane di(meth)acrylate, an oligomer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition also comprises a surfactant system including at least one surfactant.

Abstract: A CDMA communication system provides a dedicated control channel capable of efficiently communicating control messages between a base station and a mobile station. In a dedicated control channel transmission device, a controller determines a frame length of a message to be transmitted and outputs a frame select signal corresponding to the determined frame length. A message generator generates frame data of the message to be transmitted according to the frame select signal. A transmitter spreads the frame data and transmitting the spread frame data through a dedicated control channel. In a dedicated control channel reception device, a despreader despreads a received signal. A first message receiver deinterleaves and decodes the despread signal in a first frame length to output a first message, and detects a first CRC corresponding to the decoded signal.
