Patent number: 7563831Abstract: A method for curing a chemical composition, the composition containing at least one or more binders having ethylenically unsaturated groups, as well as one or more initiators for triggering a radical polymerization. The method includes a thermal curing step, in which the curing of the composition is effected by a radical polymerization of the binder, which is triggered by a thermal initiator and is carried out under protective gas. Paint films having improved mechanical properties can be produced using the method according to the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2005Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Markus Bischof, Elisabeth Gemmler, Fritz Mezger, Thomas Raith, Christoph Ruechardt

Publication number: 20080249265Abstract: The invention relates to an initiator system for triggering a radical polymerization reaction of a preparation that contains monomers and/or oligomers having ethylenically unsaturated groups. The initiators used are open-chain and/or cyclic N,N-diacylhydroxylamines of the general formula R—CO—N(OH)—Co—R?. The invention also relates to a method for starting a radical polymerization reaction by way of the thermally initiated formation of oxyl radicals from open-chain and/or cyclic N,N-diacylhydroxylamines or the O-alkyl or O-acyl derivatives thereof having the general formulae R—CO—N(OH)—CO—R?, R—CO—N(O—R)—CO—R? or R—CO—N(O—CO—R?)—CO—R?, wherein R, R?R and R? are the same or different organic substituents and R can be linked with R?.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2004Publication date: October 9, 2008Inventors: Markus Bischof, Fritz Mezger, Thomas Raith, Christoph Ruechardt

Patent number: 7091256Abstract: A reactive paint to be completely cured in air with binders that bear ethylenically-unsaturated groups, that can be cured by radical polymerization either thermally or both thermally and by UV light or high-energy radiation in a dual-cure method. The paint contains a combined initiator system consisting of thermal initiators and UV initiators and reactive oligomers that are formed from addition compounds of a reactant of formula (4) and a reactant of formula (5) In this formula, X=—CO—CH?CH2 or —CnHm or —CO—CnHm. —CnHm is an aliphatic residue with 1 to 3 C atoms, whereby 0, 1, 2 or 3 X substituents are formed by —CnHm, and Y is a hydrocarbon chain of 3 to 8 atoms that can also contain heteroatoms. Also provided is a method for curing by radical polymerization. The polymerization is first started thermally under air and then is continued either thermally or photoinitiated under air or protective gas, and a use in paint systems, especially in automobile manufacturing or as a binder.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Markus Bischof, Elisabeth Gemmler, Fritz Mezger, Thomas Raith, Christoph Ruechardt

Patent number: 6934723Abstract: A method and system are provided for replicating data in a network to a plurality of client applications which are associated to at least one server. Network traffic is reduced and an easy-to-do automated data replication is achieved basically by monitoring and storing modification information on server data exploiting XDSM capabilities in order to generate replication data for a subsequent distribution to the clients and by broadcasting said replication data from said server system to said client systems. Further, the replication data can advantageously be streamed to the clients through the network.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2000Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gerd Breiter, Thomas Raith

Patent number: 6816883Abstract: An improved method and system is provided for providing the end-user of a mainframe application running a limited, character-oriented transfer protocol like the IBM3270 protocol with a combined rendering of non-character, i.e. new media data and traditional character data preferably on the same end-user computer. It is proposed to install an individually programmed program component (28), called Server Media Resolution Service (SMRS) on the application server (16) site and a matching program component (30), called Client Media Resolution Service (CMRS) which is a universal, standard component without any individual application specific features. The SMRS is told the client computer destination, searches the requested media address and feeds this meta information to the CMRS which in turn manages the start of a client site media renderer in order to render the new media data received from a datastore such as the File System (20).Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sascha Baumeister, Gerd Breiter, Thomas Raith

Patent number: 6060583Abstract: This invention relates to a polymerizable phosphazene derivative with a general structural formula[.brket open-st.NP(A).sub.a (B).sub.b).brket close-st.]xwherein the groups A and B are bonded to phosphorus atoms through --O--, --S--, --NH--, or --NR-- (with R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl), and wherein A stands more precisely for a vinyl ether group or a styrene ether group, and B stands more precisely for a hydrocarbon group. The invention also relates to procedures for synthesizing such phosphazene derivatives. The phosphazenes derivatives of the invention can be cured by a process that is initiated cationically, which leads to a large number of advantages. The phosphazene derivatives of the invention can, in particular, be used as curable binders for paints, coatings, fillers, mastics, adhesives, moldings, or films. Paints or coatings comprising the phosphazene derivatives of the invention show especially high mechanical resistance and scratch resistance.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1999Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: DaimlerChrysler A.G.Inventors: Thomas Raith, Wolfgang Nuding
