Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble addition polymer which is produced from a carboxylated diol represented by the following general formula (I) and a polyisocyanate and has an acid value of 100 or 250, and an aqueous ink using this polymer as a dispersant for a disperse dye:
wherein the residue A is an aromatic, alicyclic or aliphatic polybasic acid residue, and the residue B is a trivalent aliphatic alcohol residue.
Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes an exercise device, a memory including a first memory portion, and a receiver for receiving exercise programs transmitted over a first communication link. A control unit supplies received exercise programs to the first memory portion for storage in the first memory portion as first exercise programs and selectively controls the exercise device in accordance with the first exercise programs.
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for dyeing hydrophobic polymer fibers, including the step of contacting the goods with an amount of a dyeing solution effective to dye the goods, wherein the solution comprises an amount of a terpene/terpenoid solvent and a dyestuff. The present invention also provides a composition for dissolving and dispersing a dyestuff for dyeing hydrophobic polymer fibers, including effective amounts of a terpene/terpenoid solvent for dissolving the dyestuff.

Abstract: Aqueous stable dispersion of UV-absorbing 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazole compounds containing(a) 15 to 50 per cent by weight of a benzotriazole compound of the formula ##STR1## where R is halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylaryl or aralkyl, and the rings A and B can be further substituted independently of one another by halogen, hydroxyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkoxycarbonyl, and(b) 2 to 20 per cent by weight of an acid ester, or salt thereof, of an alkylene oxide adduct of the formula ##STR2## where X is the acid radical of an inorganic oxygen-containing acid, or else the radical of an organic acid and Y is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, aryl or aralkyl, "Alkylen" is the ethylene radical or propylene radical, and m is from 1 to 4 and n from 4 to 50.These dispersions are excellent agents for improving the light fastness of dyeings of synthetic fibres, in particular polyester fibres or acid-modified polyester fibres.
