20090163617 | CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL WITH DISSOCIATED AGGREGATE SIZE AND PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND IMPROVED DISPERSIBILITY - The present invention claims that a carbon black with unique morphological properties provides improved carbon black dispersion and improved rubber compound properties, such as improved fatigue life and abrasion resistance. The carbon black of current invention has a ratio of aggregate size HI and particle size HI greater than 1.70, the surface area STSA of 100-180 M | 06-25-2009 |
20090247686 | CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL WITH BROAD AGGREGATE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND IMPROVED DISPERSIBILITY - A carbon black with a ΔD50/M greater than about 0.9. The carbon black has an aggregate heterogeneity index (HI) via QTM of greater than about 2.3. The carbon black has a ΔD50 via DCP of greater than about 0.07. The QTM-HI of the present carbon black is unique for N100-200 series carbon blacks, as is the ΔD50. The carbon black is a N200 carbon black with an oil absorption number (OAN) less than about 135 and a HI of greater than about 2.3. The carbon black is also a N200 carbon black with an oil absorption number (OAN) less than about 135 and a ΔD50 of greater than about 0.07. The present invention also relates to a polymeric composition and to tires comprising a carbon black of the present invention. | 10-01-2009 |

20090158517 | Inflatable pool cover - An assembly includes an inflatable, dome-like cover that is configured to rest atop an existing swimming pool. The cover has an inflatable portion that repels dirt, debris, water, and snow, preventing such debris from collecting thereon. The cover is produced from heavy duty, yet lightweight plastic or rubber material. The cover may sized and configured to fit a pool of any dimensions. Extending along a perimeter of the inflatable portion is a border about which openings are evenly spaced, through which tethers or cords may be tied for securing the assembly to the pool. At least one air valve is positioned proximal to the outer edge of the cover, enabling a user to inflate the assembly. | 06-25-2009 |

20090322636 | NOTCH ANTENNA HAVING A LOW PROFILE STRIPLINE FEED - Described are a notch antenna and an array antenna based on a low profile stripline feed. The notch antenna includes a planar dielectric substrate having upper and lower surfaces. Each surface has a conductive layer with an opening therein. A notch antenna element is disposed on the conductive layer of the upper surface at the opening. A stripline embedded in the planar dielectric substrate extends under the notch antenna element. The stripline is adapted to couple an RF signal between the stripline and the notch antenna element. A conductive via is electrically coupled to the stripline and extends from the stripline to the opening in the conductive layer on the lower surface so that the RF signal is accessible at the lower surface. | 12-31-2009 |

20110095097 | LIQUID COMPOSITION FOR AIR FRESHENER SYSTEMS - Embodiments relate to liquid air freshener systems that allow fragrances to evaporate through use of a wicking element where fluid moves by capillary action towards the emanating surface, as well as the fragrance stabilizing compositions used therein. Cyclomethicone-based liquid compositions, preferably clear, provide an improved rate of evaporation of perfume materials from the air freshener device emanating surface and allow the use of fragrance materials with a wide range of characteristics. Embodiments utilize cyclomethicone in combination with other solvents specifically to increase solubility, enhance performance, maintain consistent fragrance character and maximize the range of aromatic materials that can be used. | 04-28-2011 |
20110192912 | LIQUID COMPOSITION FOR AIR FRESHENER SYSTEMS - Embodiments relate to passive liquid air freshener systems that allow fragrances to evaporate through use of a wicking element where fluid moves by capillary action towards the emanating surface, as well as the fragrance stabilizing compositions used therein and to active liquid air freshener systems that assist the evaporation of the fragrances through use of electrical devices, heated elements or forced air units.
