Abstract:
A sealing system for an acoustic touchscreen includes an elongate gel body between the touchscreen and the bezel of a housing onto which the touchscreen is mounted. The elongate gel body forms a seal around the perimeter of the touch-sensitive area of the touchscreen. A stop element controls and limits the amount of compression of the elongate gel body. The resulting seal is highly effective in protecting the unexposed parts of the touchscreen (i.e., areas other than the touch-sensitive area) from contaminants, especially liquid contaminants, at the cost of an acceptably low loss in acoustic signal strength.
Abstract:
A substrate (12,14) is enclosed with a heat recoverable backing with a layer of a thermosetting adhesive composition (20) comprising an amorphous thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin positioned between the heat recoverable article (10, 26) and the substrate (12,14). The adhesive composition can be in the form of a self supporting sheet or tape or it can be on a surface of the heat recoverable article (10). In some embodiments, a polymeric insert (32) is also used to ensure adequate sealing between the substrate and the thermosetting adhesive.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for applying a protective coating to a substrate, such as metallic pipe, which comprises applying onto the substrate a liquid curable polymeric composition capable of curing to a substantial extent within about 24 hours at less than about 80.degree. C., then applying one or more polymeric layers, the innermost of which is capable of interacting with said curable composition, and permitting the composition to cure. In certain embodiments the polymeric layer is applied as a polymeric article, in other embodiments a multiple layer polymeric covering is applied over the curable composition.
Abstract:
Organic foams having a low density and very small cell size and method forroducing same in either a metal-loaded or unloaded (nonmetal loaded) form are described. Metal-doped foams are produced by soaking a polymer gel in an aqueous solution of desired metal salt, soaking the gel successively in a solvent series of decreasing polarity to remove water from the gel and replace it with a solvent of lower polarity with each successive solvent in the series being miscible with the solvents on each side and being saturated with the desired metal salt, and removing the last of the solvents from the gel to produce the desired metal-doped foam having desired density cell size, and metal loading. The unloaded or metal-doped foams can be utilized in a variety of applications requiring low density, small cell size foam. For example, rubidium-doped foam made in accordance with the invention has utility in special applications, such as in x-ray lasers.
Abstract:
Primary diamines of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a straight chain saturated hydrocarbon of 2 to 4 carbons, a disubstituted benzene ring, or disubstituted dibenzo methane for use as a curing agent for epoxy resins. These curing agents can be used to form epoxy resin mixtures useful in filament winding and pre-impregnated fiber molding and in formulating film adhesives, powder coatings and molding powders. The epoxy mixtures form for such uses as room temperature non-reacting, intermediate stable state which has a latent cross-linking capability.
