20110189473	Lignocellulosic Products And Methods Of Forming The Same - A lignocellulosic product comprises a plurality of lignocellulosic pieces, and an isocyanate component and a processing aid disposed on the pieces. The processing aid is reactive with the isocyanate component, comprises a graft polyol having a continuous and discontinuous phase, and can be used to form a lignocellulosic composite article. The processing aid is useful for imparting the composite article with moisture resistance, swelling resistance, and toughness, as well as providing cold-tack during manufacture of the composite article from the product. The continuous phase comprises an isocyanate-reactive component. The discontinuous phase comprises polymeric particles. The isocyanate component and the processing aid are present in the product a combined amount of from about (1) to about (25) parts by weight based on (100) parts by weight of the product. The composite article can be various engineered lignocellulosic composites, such as oriented strand board (OSB), particleboard (PB), scrimber, or fiberboard.	08-04-2011

20120027518	Containment Boom - A containment boom for floating substances, including a long section of linear low density polyethylene folded over and heat sealed to form (i) a top sleeve along the length of the long section, (ii) a second sleeve along the length of the long section adjacent to and beneath the top sleeve, (iii) a bottom sleeve, and (iv) a skirt along the length of the long section extending downwardly from the second sleeve to the bottom sleeve. The second sleeve has a plurality of separate watertight pockets defined along its length by vertical seals extending between the top sleeve and the skirt. First and second rigid connectors extend from the top sleeve to the bottom sleeve at the longitudinal ends of the long section. Cables are in the top and bottom sleeves, with the cables at one end being secured to the first connector, and the cables at the other end being secured to the second connector. A plurality of closed cell foam segments are each tapered to a narrow edge at both longitudinal ends, and are disposed in each of the second sleeve pockets.	02-02-2012
