Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100152336BASECOAT COATING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CELLULOSE MIXED ESTERS - A basecoat composition is provided comprising: a) at least one film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic polyols and polyester polyols; b) at least one rheological modifier; c) at least one solvent; d) at least one pigment; e) optionally, at least one microgel; f) optionally, at least one crosslinking agent; and g) at least one cellulose mixed ester. A wet-on-wet-on wet process is also provided. The process for coating a substrate comprises: a) applying a primer to said substrate to produce a primed substrate; b) applying a basecoat composition to said primed substrate while said primer is wet to produce a basecoated substrate; and c) applying a clearcoat composition to said basecoated substrate while said basecoat composition is wet and optionally said primer is wet to produce a coated substrate. Coated articles are also provided.06-17-2010
20110020559REFINISH COATING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CELLULOSE MIXED ESTERS - A refinish coating composition is provided comprising: a) at least one refinish coating resin; b) at least one solvent; c) at least one pigment; d) optionally, at least one crosslinking agent; e) at least one cellulose mixed ester having a weight average molecular weight (M01-27-2011

20090286095LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CELLULOSE MIXED ESTERS AND THEIR USE AS LOW VISCOSITY BINDERS AND MODIFIERS IN COATING COMPOSITIONS - Cellulose mixed esters are disclosed having low molecular weights and low degrees of polymerization. These new cellulose mixed esters include cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate. The esters exhibit solubility in a wide range of organic solvents with minimal viscosity increase, are compatible with a wide variety of resins, and are useful in coatings and inks compositions as binder resins and rheology modifiers.11-19-2009

20100190024SINTERED COPPER-BASED MATERIAL HAVING INCREASED GRAIN SIZE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - Disclosed are sintered copper-based materials and methods for forming the same having a larger grain size than materials formed through conventional methods. A metal powder having copper is compressed, pre-heated, and then sintered. Then, the density of the once sintered copper-based material is sized to increase density and subjected to a second sintering act. The sintered copper-based materials have a grain size of at least 50 μm.07-29-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090076440LIQUID JET SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATING CHANNEL OPENINGS ALIGNED ALONG THE JET BEAM - Certain embodiments of the surgical instruments provided according to the invention utilize a channel positioned adjacent to and downstream of a liquid jet-forming nozzle such that at least a portion of the liquid jet passes at least one of within the channel and adjacent to and along the length of at least a portion of a longitudinally-oriented opening in the channel, when the instrument is in operation. The use of such channels in certain embodiments of the inventive surgical instruments can enable the instruments to provide enhanced control over the depth and degree of cutting and/or ablation of tissue; and/or can provide improved and enhanced functionality for cleaning, debriding, and/or trimming and cutting a tissue/surface; and/or can provide longer effective liquid jet beam cutting/ablation lengths by reducing the degree of dispersion of the jet along its length.03-19-2009
