| 20080281006 | One-part non-toxic spray foam - A one-part spray foam formed by Michael addition chemistry is provided. The foamable composition includes at least one electron donor, at least one electron acceptor, an encapsulated catalyst, and one or more blowing agents. The catalyst is a weak or strong base. The encapsulation of the catalyst controls the polymerization of the Michael addition compounds such that the catalyst can be added and/or activated at a desired time to begin the foaming reaction. The catalyst may be encapsulated in a high molecular weight inert polymer or wax. In some embodiments, the chemical blowing agent(s) are also encapsulated. To produce a foam according to the invention, a single stream of the foamable composition is fed into an application gun where the slurry is heated and mixed. The heat and/or mixing in the gun releases the catalyst, which initiates the reaction between the Michael donor and Michael acceptor to form the foam. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20100175810 | ROOM TEMPERATURE CROSSLINKED FOAM - Low rise, user friendly latex foams for sealing insulative cavities of a building are provided. The foams may be applied to the interface of the sheathing and the studs within the insulative cavities to reduce air leaks. The latex foams may also be applied to the face of the studs to obtain an additional seal against air infiltration. The foam can be used to affix fiberglass batts, batt flanges, and vapor barriers to the framing without mechanical fasteners. A tackifier may be added to impart an adhesive quality to the foam. The tacky nature of the foam permits the drywall or vapor barrier to be repositioned without damage. Drywall is held onto the face of the studs by the tacky foam while mechanical fasteners are inserted to permanently affix the drywall to the framing. The compressive nature of the foam permits drywall to be attached without significant bowing or detachment. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20080219422 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDEPENDENTLY AUTHORIZING AUXILIARY COMMUNICATION SERVICES - Systems and methods which determines the likelihood that a calling (or in some cases the called) user will pay for a particular auxiliary service are described. A system of an embodiment considers the user's credit risk and his/her propensity to pay, when deciding if the user is eligible for a particular auxiliary service. A methodology used for determining propensity to pay for an auxiliary service according to embodiments is independent from a determination of propensity to pay for a basic calling service. Thus, the criteria used, and the weight given to each criteria, for determining eligibility for auxiliary services can be different from the criteria and criteria weight used for basic communication connections. | 09-11-2008 |
