20080244799 | Sports Glove Having Finger Knuckle Protection System - A protective sports glove having a protective finger knuckle system introduced to the back portion of the finger portions to cover the die cut regions of the pads corresponding to the knuckles of the fingers. The protective finger knuckle system includes a pair of cap portions each having a pair of side flanges that have a pair of slots, with the cap portions coupled together via a middle portion. A strap is feathered through the pair of slots on each of the pair of side flanges and beneath the cap portion and is secured to the glove. The middle portion span the gaps between the protective portions of the fingers and the thumb and thus provide protection to the knuckles of the wearer where the fingers or thumb are flexed. | 10-09-2008 |
20090247332 | LACROSSE HEAD - A lacrosse head includes a base, a scoop, and a pair of sidewalls. The sidewalls include upper and lower rims and further include a dual flare configuration. The first flare is in a rear portion and is characterized by the upper rims of the sidewalls being spaced closer together to one another than the lower rims. The second flare begins from approximately the middle portion of the sidewalls and generally throughout the forward portion and is characterized by the upper rims of the sidewalls being spaced further apart from each other than the lower rims. | 10-01-2009 |
20110218061 | LACROSSE HEAD - A lacrosse head includes a base, a scoop, and a pair of sidewalls. The sidewalls include upper and lower rims and further include a dual flare configuration. The first flare is in a rear portion and is characterized by the upper rims of the sidewalls being spaced closer together to one another than the lower rims. The second flare begins from approximately the middle portion of the sidewalls and generally throughout the forward portion and is characterized by the upper rims of the sidewalls being spaced further apart from each other than the lower rims. | 09-08-2011 |
20140073161 | PLUG AND SOCKET FOR PROVIDING ELECTRICAL POWER TO VEHICLE ACCESSORIES - A plug including a housing that defines a cavity and an opening into the cavity. A flange extends radially inwardly into the opening of the housing. A tip assembly is received by the opening of the housing. The tip assembly includes a positive terminal that extends between a proximal portion in the cavity of the housing and a distal portion outside of the housing for electrical connection with the vehicle accessory. The tip assembly includes a sleeve that is sealingly disposed about the proximal portion of the positive terminal. The sleeve includes a projection that extends radially outwardly therefrom adjacent to the proximal portion of the positive terminal in sealing engagement with the flange of the housing to sealingly interconnect the tip assembly and the housing for preventing liquids from flowing from outside of the housing between the positive terminal and the sleeve into the cavity of the housing. | 03-13-2014 |

20140341521 | LOW COST, FAST CURING OPTICAL FIBER COATINGS - A low cost composition that cures rapidly and which is suitable for coating an optical fiber comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer; at least one photoinitiator; and at least one non-radiation-curable polar polymer having pendent groups that facilitate low energy chemical bonding, hydrogen bonding, dipolar interactions or other interactions with radical compounds formed during polymerization of the monomer. The non-radiation-curable polar polymer(s) are inexpensive and reduce and/or eliminate the need for expensive urethane acrylate oligomers, without sacrificing properties, and while achieving rapid cure speeds. | 11-20-2014 |
20140341524 | OPTICAL FIBER COATING COMPOSITIONS WITH NON-CURABLE REINFORCING AGENTS - A coating composition including a reinforcing agent. The coating composition may include one or more radiation-curable monofunctional monomers, one or more radiation-curable multifunctional monomers or oligomers, a photoinitiator, and a reinforcing agent. The monofunctional monomers, multifunctional monomers, and multifunctional oligomers may include acrylate groups. The reinforcing agent may be an acrylic co-polymer that includes two or more repeat units. At least one of the repeat units includes chemical groups that enable self-association of the acrylic co-polymer. Self-association of the acrylic co-polymer may improve the tensile strength of coatings formed from the coating compositions. | 11-20-2014 |
20160002367 | SYNTHESIS OF AN ACRYLATE POLYMER IN FLOW REACTOR - An improved process for synthesizing acrylic polymers, which is highly controllable to achieve high molecular weight, high conversion rate, and low polydispersity involves continuously introducing initiator(s), acrylic monomer(s), and optionally other monomers capable of polymerizing with the acrylic monomer(s), into a microchannel of a microreactor having an integral micromixer and an integral heat exchanger. | 01-07-2016 |
