Abstract:
Reaction mixtures for forming curable epoxy resin compositions comprise an epoxy resin, a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer capable of forming polyacrylate rubber, a chain transfer agent to allow for higher levels of rubber in the curable epoxy resin without undesired viscosity increase and/or gellation, and a monomer soluble initiator. Optional ingredients include a crosslinking agent for the rubber-forming monomer, a grafting agent for rubber and epoxy resin, and an epoxy curing agent, preferably having activation conditions which are not satisfied when the initiator is activated. Heating the reaction mixture gives epoxy resin compositions containing polyacrylate rubber, the latter being optionally crosslinked and/or grafted to the epoxy resin. Activation of the curing agent, e.g., by heating, when such curing agent is present, yields cured adhesive compositions.
Abstract:
Improved copoly(carbonate/phosphonate) compositions formed by reaction of a dihydric phenol, a carbonate precursor, and an organophosphorus dihalide are disclosed. The inherent viscosity and melting point of such compositions is increased by the presence of an effective amount of a chain branching agent, optionally in the additional presence of a chain terminating agent.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for simultaneously executing the same event in a plurality of mobile terminals are provided. The method includes transmitting a signal to the mobile terminals and checking a transmission time point of the signal; when a response signal for the signal is received, checking a reception time point of the response signal; calculating a signal delay time using the transmission time point of the predetermined signal, the reception time point of the response signal, and an offset time contained in the response signal; and transmitting an event execution signal to the mobile terminals and executing a corresponding event, considering the offset time and the signal delay time.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multipurpose exercise apparatus. More specifically, the multipurpose exercise apparatus is configured so that various kinds of exercise can be done by turning a crescent-shaped main body up and down according to the kind of exercise desire by a user, and by stepping on the main body to mount thereon or sitting down thereon, thereby allowing exercise to be enjoyed regardless of place or time and to even be enjoyed outdoors in addition to indoors and the efficiency of exercise can be maximized even with simple exercise movements. The present invention is characterized in that it has a plate shape, and it comprises a main body (100), wherein a convex surface (10) is formed at the upper part, a concave surface (20) is formed at the lower part, a handle groove (12) is provided at both the terminal parts descending along the curvature of the convex surface (10), and a supporting protrusion (22) is integrally projected at the lower part of the handle groove (12) so as to allow the main body to be separated by a certain distance from the ground; and a handle (200) which is installed on one side of the upper convex surface (10) of the main body (100) and can be attached thereto or detached therefrom.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anti-aging composition for external use on skin, which includes low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of Ulmus davidiana, as active ingredients. The composition including the low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of Ulmus davidiana, in a predetermined ratio, shows significantly improved skin-moisturizing, skin elasticity-enhancing and inflammation-alleviating effects, as compared to a composition using one of the above ingredients alone. Therefore, the composition may be widely used as a pharmaceutical or cosmetic anti-aging composition.
Abstract:
A driving system that can allow a vehicle to go over or ascend obstacles or stairs through a step driving manner is provided. The driving system includes a power transmission unit connected to a main shaft connected to a power generation unit installed on the wheel frame, a plurality of driven units engaged with the power transmission unit and supporting the rotation of wheels by rotational force from the power transmission unit, and a carrier to which the power transmission unit and each of the driven units are operationally fixed and which goes over the obstacles by rotating when the driven units are stopped by the obstacles.
