  • Publication number: 20240084599
    Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a method of rehabilitating or remediating a roofing material that includes obtaining a roofing material and obtaining a coating composition comprising a polymeric resin and a carrier. The coating composition is (i) substantially free of water and (ii) in the form of a liquid at at least 23° F. The method further includes applying the coating composition to the roofing material to prepare a coated roofing material, and exposing the coated roofing material to a reaction generator to polymerize the coating composition and thereby solidify the coating composition on the coated roofing material.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20240082874
    Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a method of preparing a roofing material that includes obtaining a substrate and obtaining a non-foam, coating composition comprising a polymeric resin and a carrier. The coating composition is (i) substantially free of water and (ii) in the form of a liquid at at least 23° F. The method further includes applying the coating composition to a surface of the substrate to prepare a coated substrate, and exposing the coated substrate to a reaction generator to polymerize the coating composition and thereby solidify the coating composition on the coated substrate to form the roofing material.

  • Patent number: 4831286
    Abstract: A GaAs register for storing of digital data is configured with a plurality of "D" type flip-flops having a data terminal and an enable terminal connected to an enabled GaAs clock circuit. The enabled GaAs clock circuit provides a load clock signal to enable the "D" type flip-flops during the loading of data into the plurality of "D" type flip-flops and to prohibit the loading of data without the load clock signal. The enabled GaAs clock circuit has "D" type flip-flop, a clock input circuit and a combining circuit. The clock input circuit receives a clock signal and delays the clock signal. The "D" type flip-flop loads the load enable signal with the rising edge of the clock signal and the delayed clock signal and the loaded enable signal are combined to obtained a combination signal which is used to load data into the plurality of "D" type flip-flops in the register.
