| 20080287639 | CROSS-LINKED THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE/POLYUREA AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A cross-linked thermoplastic polyurea is formed by heating a mixture containing a thermoplastic urethane base material, a monomeric and/or polymeric di-isocyanate comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of the mixture, and a diamine comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of the mixture. A thermoplastic polyurethane may be formed by substituting hydroquinone for the diamine. The mixture is heated to a temperature within the range of 250° F. to 550° F. The heated mixture, which is flowable, is then injected into at least one injection molding device. The mixture is then cured at a temperature between 150° F. to 250° F. for a period of time between 2 and 36 hours. The cross-linked thermoplastic polyurethane/polyurea retains the excellent flowability characteristics of a thermoplastic urethane while the same time exhibits good abrasion, tensile strength, rebound, and compression set characteristics which are similar to those found in thermoset urethanes. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090230587 | CROSS-LINKED THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE/POLYUREA AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A process for forming a cross-linked thermoplastic polymer is disclosed herein. The cross-linked thermoplastic polymer is formed by heating a first mixture containing a thermoplastic urethane base material, a monomeric diisocyanate comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of the first mixture, and a second mixture of a first diamine and a second diamine comprising between 1 to 10% of the total weight of a total reaction product. The heated first mixture, which is flowable, is injected into at least one injection molding device, with the second mixture injected at predetermined intervals to create a homogeneous reaction product. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20080296030 | LANDSCAPING MULCH TURNER - The turner for turning over and thickening a settled layer of an aggregate landscaping mulch material lying on a surface, includes a handle and a rolling head carried on the handle for rotation about an axis. The rolling head includes axially spaced endcaps supported about the axis, and elongate strips extending between the endcaps at radially spaced locations around the axis. The strips are oriented so as to have at least generally flat opposite surfaces extending in directions of the rotation, and including elongate, generally radially outwardly extending projections or lifters disposed at axially spaced locations therealong, such that the handle can be held to push or pull and roll the rolling head across a region of the layer of the landscaping mulch material such that the projections or lifters will penetrate into the mulch material and lift and reorient portions thereof to thicken the layer, without substantially disturbing the underlying surface, and the strips define cavities therebetween for receiving the mulch material, for improving the movement of the rolling head over the mulch material. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090078724 | Mobile Confectionary Apparatus With Protectible Dispensing System - The mobile confectionary apparatus for dispensing beverages and/or frozen confections and the like, includes a vehicle configured for travel over public roads to a location such as a parking lot, street, festival or fair grounds, or the like. The vehicle includes an enclosure having an interior space in which one or more persons can prepare and dispense confections, or containers for confections or beverages. The enclosure includes one or more service windows or openings for dispensing the prepared confections or containers; and a self-serve liquid dispensing system on or in an outer surface of the enclosure, usable by recipients of the dispensed confections or containers, for selectably dispensing toppings on the confections, or liquids into the containers, separately from the dispensing and selling thereof. The dispensing system is closable or coverable by a person from within the interior space, to prevent access from the outside, and for cleaning, service and travel. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100214098 | ELECTRONIC TIME DATA SYSTEM - Data in the form of discrete learnable objects, is automatically retrieved at time intervals and fed to a user by an electronic time data device based on options such as subject, alert and time interval of 60 minutes or less. Preceding or with the feeding of a data object, an alert is outputted, which is ceased by an input. Inputs such as answers to questions to test comprehension, can also be required. The system can evaluate the responses, and adaptively introduce a new subject when comprehension is demonstrated, and repeat data objects for which comprehension is not demonstrated. The interval, subject matter fed and other parameters can be controlled by the device, or remotely by a second device or administrator, and information representative of comprehension, marketing, and the like can be recorded and collected. | 08-26-2010 |
