Abstract: A mold release composition comprising at least one siloxane polymer having functional terminal groups; at least one siloxane polymer having at least one functional pendent group; and a crosslinking agent. The mold release agent is ready to mold composite parts in less than 30 minutes under room temperature curing conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to curable coating compositions which when cured are substantially transparent and exhibit resistance to markings such as graffiti and scuffing and particulate buildup. In particular, the compositions of the present invention when cured provide protective coatings to surfaces to prevent absorption and/or wetting of ink compositions. The invention composition may also be used as mold release agents.

Abstract: The invention relates an apparatus and method for forming a diffuse reflector. In one embodiment of the invention, a diffuse reflector is formed by exposing transmissive particles of a pre-determined purity to pressure and forming a material having desired diffuse reflective properties. The transmissive particles may further be thermally treated, such as by sintering, to form material having desired diffuse reflective properties. The treated transmissive particles may then be disposed in a vessel and define a cavity therein to form an integrated cavity diffuse reflector.

Abstract: The peristaltic pump streaming/spraying pistol comprises a shroud with a battery, a motor, and a hose. The hose is connected with a sinking weighted ball at one end and a streaming/spraying nozzle at another end. A wall and a rotating disc, which is at least partially surrounded by the wall, are inside the shroud. Equidistant rollers for pressing the hose are mounted on the rotating disc. Between the rollers and the wall, there is a pressing channel for the hose. When in use, the battery starts the motor to drive the rotating disc. At the same time, the rollers on the rotating disc continuously press the hose and rapidly extrude the air out of it, so that a negative pressure is created in the hose. Due to the atmospheric pressure, the liquid will enter the hose from sinking weighted ball and will stream/spray out from the discharge nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition designed to be a release agent applied to the surface of a molding apparatus and method of using the composition in molding operations. The composition includes a siloxane composition, hydrophilic matting particles, a cross linking agent, a binding agent having hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics. The composition may optionally include a carrier. The composition is designed to be applied to the surface of a mold, allowing for repeated use without the need for re-applying the composition between uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a medium for storing a subtitle data structure of an audio/video program and a method for displaying the same. The subtitle data structure of the audio/video program includes a plurality of character packages and a background image package, wherein each character package further has a header that includes the start and the end of a presenting time stamp (PTS), X-Y coordinates of the character, X length, Y length and a color (or colors) of the character, as well as pixel data for displaying the character. Compared with prior art, using the subtitle data structure of the present invention can considerably save the required medium capacity for storing the subtitle data.

Abstract: A sealed multi-compartment package includes a wipe and a mold release agent which are kept separate from one another until the time of use. The package includes a first compartment for containing a fabric-like wipe and a second compartment in sealed separation from the first compartment containing a mold release agent. The first and second compartments are in communication and separated by a displaceable seal. Upon displacement of the seal, the mold release agent and the wipe are brought into mutual contact.

Abstract: A room temperature curable water-based mold release agent that is useful for demolding composite parts, such as epoxy and polyester based polymer materials. The mold release agent is curable at low temperatures, such as room temperature, but is thermally stable up to conventional epoxy based composite molding temperatures, e.g., greater than 200 or 280° C. The mold release agent is useful for demolding large composite parts that are cured in large ovens at high temperature when the molds themselves are prepped at room temperature before placing in the oven. The mold release agent is also useful for demolding polyester composite parts that are prepared and cured at low temperature such as room temperature.

Abstract: A duct stent being capable of carrying the subminiature radioactive particle source is mainly used for the inside radiation therapy of metaphase or terminal pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer, and has drainage function. The duct stent consists of a tubular drainage tube (1) and fixation portions (2) which are face to face with two ends of the drainage tube (1) and can fix the stent to prevent the stent from moving. The lumen of the drainage tube (1) is a drainage cavity (1.1) for draining the pancreatic juice or the bile. A particle passage (1.2) is provided in the tube wall of the drainage tube (1). The inside diameter of the particle passage (1.2) matches with the outer diameter of the subminiature radioactive particle source.

Abstract: System for controlling crystal growth in a Czochralski crystal growing apparatus. A magnetic field is applied within the crystal growing apparatus and varied to control a shape of the melt-solid interface where the ingot is being pulled from the melt. The shape of the melt-solid interface is formed to a desired shape in response to the varied magnetic field as a function of a length of the ingot.

Abstract: A method of continuously measuring an elevation and shape of an unmelted polycrystalline silicon island during a silicon meltdown process. The method comprises projecting a focused bright light on the silicon island to produce a bright dot on the silicon island. The method also includes electronically determining an elevation and a shape of the silicon island by tracking the bright dot during the meltdown process.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring an absorption coefficient includes a first diffusive material, a second diffusive material inside the first diffusive material separated from the first diffusive material by a cavity, and a transparent material proximate to an inner surface of the second diffusive material that holds an absorptive material. First and second light detectors measure light intensities in the first and second diffusive materials cavity and the transparent material respectively. An absorption coefficient for the absorptive material may be determined based on the first and second light intensities measured when the cavity is illuminated by a light source.
