Publication number: 20240076458Abstract: A process to form a rheology modified composition, the process comprising applying radiation, and optionally heat, to a composition that comprises at least the following component: a) an olefin-based polymer comprising a total unsaturation ?0.20 /1000 C; and wherein the radiation is applied using an electron beam (e-beam) at a dosage selected from 0.1 MRad to 1.5 MRad; and wherein component a is selected from a telechelic polyolefin of the formula A1L1L2A2, an unsaturated polyolefin of the formula A1L1, or an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer. A process to form a rheology modified composition, the process comprising applying heat, and optionally radiation, to a composition that comprises at least the following components: a) an olefin-based polymer, as described above, comprising a total unsaturation ?0.20/1000 C; b) from 1.0 to 100 ppm of a peroxide, based on the weight of the composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey C. Munro, Santosh S. Bawiskar, Colin Li Pi Shan, Alexander Williamson, Teresa P. Karjala

Publication number: 20170022757Abstract: A slatted blind is configured such that the slats close create a light blocking blind. The slats may be supported by a tilt cord that comprises a low stretch strand or a low stretch cord may be attached to the tilt cord. The slats may be connected to the supporting tilt cord such that when the slat is rotated to a closed position the slat is suspended from the rung. The rung may have an effective diameter of less than approximately 14 mil. Recesses may be formed in the slat for receiving the rung when the slat is in a closed position. A bottom rail may have a thickness approximately equal to the thickness of the slats. A protrusion may be formed on the back of the slats such that the rung pushes on the protrusion to force the slat against an adjacent slat when the blind is closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventors: Michael Defenbaugh, Joshua Maust, Teresa Williamson, Peter Bates, Henry Sick

Patent number: 9482047Abstract: A window covering comprises slats suspended from a tilt cord such that the tilt cord may rotate the slats between an open position and a closed position. An elastic seal is provided on the slats to contact adjacent slats when the slats are in the closed position. A mechanism such as a spring or a magnet applies a closing force to the slats in the closed position separate from the tilt cord where the closing force moves the slats toward one another. An elastic seal is provided on the slats to contact adjacent slats when the slats are in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Newell Window Furnishings, Inc.Inventors: Victor Anti, Peter Bates, Michael Defenbaugh, Joshua Maust, Teresa Williamson, Alexandra Unger

Patent number: 9057219Abstract: In one embodiment, a window covering comprises a panel having a lateral edge where the panel is movable between a raised position and a lowered position. A side track is secured to the panel such that as the panel is moved between the raised position and the lowered position the side track is extended along the lateral edge. The side track changes from a first geometry to a second geometry as the side track is extended.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Newell Window Furnishings, Inc.Inventors: Teresa Williamson, Joshua Maust, Michael Defenbaugh
