  • Patent number: 6797385
    Abstract: A powder coating composition for heat-sensitive substrates curable at a temperature of about 300° F. or below for about 30 minutes or less comprises a) from about 10-90% by weight, relative to a) plus b), of carboxylic acid-functional acrylic resin(s); b) from about 10-90% by weight, relative to a) plus b), of polyepoxy resin(s); c) a catalyst in an amount sufficient to cure the composition at a temperature of about 300° F. or below for about 30 minutes or less; and d) optionally, a flexiblizing agent.

  • Publication number: 20030069355
    Abstract: The invention is directed to new thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising acid functional acrylic resin(s); polyepoxy resin(s) and catalyst(s). The powder coating compositions can be applied to substrates, especially heat sensitive substrates such as wood substrates and cured at low temperature and/or shorter time to provide finishes having controllable gloss and/or high hardness. The invention is also directed to an article comprising a heat sensitive substrate, such as wood substrate, and coated and cured on at least one surface of the substrate the powder coating composition of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20020188635
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for preparing a web page for a digital edition of a newspaper, newsletter, or magazine using print media display advertisements as input, so that a publisher may offer to advertisers both hard copy print and web site advertising opportunities without requiring the modification of advertising copy to fit the web and to give the advertiser the benefit of displaying their ad next to the news/editorial content on the web. The method uses display advertising created for print, such as scanned hard copy or other electronic print-formatted copy, to produce full-size images linked from “preview” images displayed next to news/editorial content on the web site that maintain the aspect ratio of the full-size advertisement, while altering their size both in terms of number of bytes and space required to display. The advertising copy is then programmed to automatically appear at a position adjacent news/editorial content in a manner familiar to readers (e.g.
