  • Publication number: 20140255128
    Abstract: A binding system for binding a set of media sheets using a binding strip and a plurality of pinching devices adapted to fasten together the binding strip and the set of media sheets by pinching them together in their respective spine portions. The binding strip includes a spine portion, a wraparound portion and a fastening portion having a releasable fastening strip. The binding system is adapted to bind the set of media sheets by aligning the spine edges of the set of media sheets and the binding strip, using the pinching devices to fasten together the set of media sheets and the binding strip along the spine edges, wrapping the wraparound portion of the binding strip around the spine edges of the fastened media sheets, and bringing the releasable fastening strip into operative contact with the back media sheet.

  • Patent number: 6180819
    Abstract: An improved process for producing n-butyl acrylate in high yield and high purity substantially free of acrylic acid, incorporates one or more of the following new process components in an acid-catalyzed esterification process for producing n-butyl acrylate: 1. A hydrolytic recovery component, wherein heavy end adducts produced during the acid-catalyzed esterification are hydrolyzed, recovered, and recycled as valuable reactants from a hydrolytic recovery unit (HRU); 2. A cracking reactor component, preferably used with the HRU, wherein additional valuable reactants are recovered and recycled after treatment in the cracking reactor; and 3. A new distillative component, wherein a crude n-butyl acrylate stream is efficiently distilled in an aqueous mode through an acrylic acid separation column, thereby providing n-butyl acrylate substantially free of acrylic acid and in high yield. The first two components also are applicable to acid-catalyzed processes producing C1 to C4 alkyl acrylates.
