Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a diffusely reflecting polarizer, comprising the steps of: coextruding first and second polymers through a chaotic mixer and a sheeting die to produce a cast sheet with a desired blend morphology and stretching said cast sheet to produce a composite film containing a first polymer having a birefringence of less than 0.

Abstract: A method for identifying a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) packet is provided, which includes: acquiring a feature tuple of a received SCTP packet, in which the feature tuple includes at least one piece of the following information: a source Internet Protocol (IP) address, a destination IP address, and a verification tag (V_tag); matching the acquired feature tuple of the SCTP packet with a SCTP tuple identification table, in which the SCTP tuple identification table includes a mapping relation between a feature set tuple and an SCTP association, and the feature set tuple includes at least one piece of the following information: a source IP address set, a destination IP address set, and the V_tag; and acquiring an SCTP association to which the SCTP packet belongs, if the acquired feature tuple of the SCTP packet matches one or more records of the SCTP tuple identification table.

Abstract: The present invention is a bulk light diffuser material based upon a hydrogenated block copolymer, but including a particulate light diffusing component. The material may be in the form of a film, a sheet or a molded article. When present as a sheet having a thickness of 2 millimeters, the sheet has a percent total transmittance of at least 50% and a haze of at least 70%, measured according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D 1003.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to composite laminates and uses thereof in articles in need of protection from mechanical damage and water or oxygen based degradation.

Abstract: A thermoplastic, hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block polymer composition, especially a hydrogenated styrene/butadiene triblock composition, functions well as a LED encapsulating material in that it provides one or more of optical clarity, thermal stability, ultraviolet light resistance, melt-processability and injection-moldability. The resulting LED resists deformation after setting or hardening under typical solder reflow conditions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a diffusely reflecting polarizer, comprising: extruding and stretching a film containing a first polymer having a birefringence of less than 0.

Abstract: The present invention provides a diffusely reflecting polarizer comprising a layer containing: a first polymer being a substantially amorphous nano-composite material and being a major phase having a birefringence of less than about 0.02, and a second polymer being a dispersed minor phase within the first polymer major phase, the major and minor phases differing in index of refraction by more than about 0.05 along a first axis and by less than about 0.

Abstract: An optical film, suitable or use in, or as a component of, an image display device or apparatus (for example, a LCD device or a polarizer assembly), comprises a hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/conjugated diene block copolymer that has a near zero optical retardation at all light incidence angles (measured using incident light at a wavelength of 633 nanometers).

Abstract: Optically clear polymeric films, especially films fabricated from a hydrogenated vinyl aromatic block copolymer, that have a birefringence of from 0.001 to 0.05 and a retardation of from 25 nanometers to 500 nanometers, either as fabricated or as oriented post fabrication, function as, for example, optical compensation films or a layer in a multilayer film as an optical compensator for a display.

Abstract: A lens-forming thermoplastic composition of matter has a crystallinity, as determined in accord with differential scanning calorimetry of from 0 percent to less than 1 percent when the composition comprises a hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/isoprene block copolymer or a crystallinity, as determined in accord with differential scanning calorimetry of from more than 0 percent to less than 1 percent when the composition comprises a hydrogenated vinyl aromatic/butadiene block copolymer. The composition has a birefringence, measured at a wavelength of 633 nanometers, within a range of from 0 to less than 6×10. Molding a melt of these compositions occurs at temperatures within a range from the hydrogenated block copolymer's glass transition minus 20° C. to the glass transition temperature minus 90° C.

Abstract: A polycarbonate resin film, which is prepared by molding a resin composition, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a polycarbonate resin (A), 0.10 to 0.18 parts by weight of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt compound (B) of a perfluoroalkane sulfonic acid and 0.05 to 0.35 parts by weight of a silicone compound (C), wherein a main chain of the silicone compound (C) is branched and the film has: (1) an average thickness of 200 to 500 ?m, (2) a degree of haze of 5% or lower as measured according to the conditions specified in JIS K7105, and (3) a flame retardance of VTM-1 or VTM-0 at a thickness of 300 ?m as measured according to the UL94 test specified by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The polycarbonate resin film of the present invention exhibits excellent flame retardance without using a flame retarding agent comprising a halogen or phosphorus and has extremely excellent environmental compatibility with no concern for generating a halogen containing gas during combustion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light diffusing thermoplastic resin composition comprising polycaprolactone, specific silicone rubber particles, and, when desired, a fluorescent brightening agent, an antioxidant and/or an ultraviolet light absorber. A light diffusion sheet can be obtained by molding the light diffusing thermoplastic resin composition, which has superior light diffusion properties, luminance, mechanical strength, thermal stability and light resistance.

Abstract: A synthetic leather is made by a impregnating a non-woven or woven textile with an aqueous polyurethane dispersion comprised of a nonionizable polyurethane and an external stabilizing surfactant. The impregnated textile is then exposed to water containing a coagulant for a coagulation time sufficient to coagulate the dispersion. The method may be used to form a synthetic leather having excellent wet ply adhesion and may contain an insoluble multivalent cation organic acid.
