A radiation-sensitive composition includes a radically polymerizable component that comprises carboxy groups, an initiator composition to generate radicals, and a polymeric binder comprising poly(alkylene oxide) segments and optionally pendant cyano groups. This composition can be used to prepare imageable elements such as negative-working, on-press developable printing plate precursors.

A method for adhering a first substrate to a second substrate using a double sided adhesive device based on silicone gels. The method is particularly useful for adhering a medical prosthesis to a human or animal body.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preserving and extracting nucleic acids from saliva.

The compositions may also include a reducing agent and/or antimicrobial agent. The invention extends to methods of using the compositions of the invention to preserve and isolate nucleic acids from saliva as well as to containers for the compositions of the invention.

The present invention provides ion-sensitive, water-dispersible polymers. The present invention also provides a method of making ion-sensitive, water-dispersible polymers and their applicability as binder compositions. The present invention further provides fiber-containing fabrics and webs comprising ion-sensitive, water-dispersible binder compositions and their applicability in water-dispersible personal care products.

A solid imaging apparatus is provided that includes a replaceable cartridge containing a source of build material and an extendable and retractable flexible transport film for transporting the build material layer-by-layer from the cartridge to the surface of a build in an image plane. An operator using the device needs merely to remove a spent cartridge and replace it with a fresh cartridge to continue solid imaging virtually uninterrupted. The apparatus also includes the capability of withdrawing and inserting an imager without the operator having to perform a separate alignment step. A brush attached to the transport film and forming part of the cartridge provides for intra-layer removal of excess uncured build material. If desired, the apparatus can produce a fully reacted build. A high intensity UV source cures the build between layers. An injection molded build pad is designed to hold a build in an inverted position for improving the build. The invention also provides for tilting the build elevator to reduce air entrainment and for releasing the build from the image plane.

The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing a non-halogen, non-intumescent flame-retardant system comprising at least one flame-retardant agent with the provisos that the flame-retardant system does not comprise Sb2O3 or does not consist only of alumina trihydrate.

The invention discloses composite epoxy anticorrosive paint and a preparation method thereof. The composite epoxy anticorrosive paint is composited by a component A and a component B at a ratio of 2:1, wherein the component A comprises constituents as follows: organosilicon modified epoxy resin, a pigment, filler, a plasticizer, a dispersant, a coalescing agent and a antifoaming agent; the component B comprises constituents as follows: polyphenyl ether resin powder, styrene-butadiene rubber, toluene, a plasticizer, a coupling agent, auxiliary materials and a flame retardant; and the components A and B are mixed respectively for preparation, and B is sprayed on A to form the composite epoxy anticorrosive paint. The composite epoxy anticorrosive paint is prepared by two components, has superior high-temperature resistance and abrasion resistance as well as good adhesion and low shrinkage simultaneously, has good corrosion resistance and penetration resistance to water, medium acid, alkali and other solvents and further has superior flexibility and paint application simultaneously; and the preparation method of the composite epoxy anticorrosive paint is simple and low in cost.

The invention relates to the fields of electric cookers and pressure cooker, and in particular to equipment for implementing water-filtering type rice steaming. According to a water-filtering type high-pressure rice steamer, an electric heating tray is arranged on a base plate of a pot body; a high-pressure inner body is arranged in the pot body; a rice steaming basket is arranged in the high-pressure inner body; a pressure piston lifting device is arranged on a top cap; an air cylinder and a piston are arranged in the pressure piston lifting device; and a piston and a hook are connected to alifting rod. During working of the equipment (the rice steamer), water and rice in the pot body are heated via the electric heating tray, so that a purpose of cooking rice can be achieved; an exhaustchannel in a gas control component is closed via a controller when the water in the pot body is heated to 100 DEG C, and meanwhile, a piston in the air cylinder is pushed to move upwards through high-pressure gas which is generated as the water in the pot body is continuously heated; the rice steaming basket is lifted upwards under the actions of the lifting rod and the hook, and rice, which is cooked by 70%, is filtered out from the water via the rice steaming basket and the rice is well cooked through high-pressure steam and heat energy generated from the water body; therefore, a purpose ofhigh-pressure water-filtering type rice steaming is achieved.

A first substrate may be joined to a second substrate using an adhesive body. The adhesive body is formed from an adhesive composition containing at least one epoxy resin, at least one heat-activatable curing agent, and at least one radiation-curable compound. A first surface of the adhesive body is exposed to an amount of radiation effective to cure at least a portion of the at least one radiation-curable compound present in proximity to such first surface, thereby rendering said first surface less tacky and/or more resistant to deformation. A second surface of the adhesive body is then applied to a surface of said first substrate. A surface of the second substrate is thereafter positioned proximate to or in contact with the first surface of the adhesive body and the adhesive body heated to a temperature effective to activate the heat-activated curing agent and induce curing of the at least one epoxy resin.

A unit forms part of a dental bridge construction or template therefor. The unit comprises a shell formed by a latex tube and, arranged in the latter, a carbon fiber arrangement wetted with matrix material. The unit forms a unit which can be delivered from a factory and in which the carbon fiber arrangement is optimally wetted with matrix material comprising a one-component material without an excess of base or hardener. The unit is designed to be able to assume a state in which the matrix material is only partially polymerized. In this state of the matrix material, the unit can be stored at a temperature which delays the polymerization of the matrix material in order to permit deferred use in connection with the dental bridge construction or the template. The unit is designed so that, at the time of said use, it can be exposed to a polymerization temperature which, after the desired shaping of the unit, causes substantially accelerated solidifying of the unit in its final shape.
