Abstract:
A water treatment device for filling at least one bottle with treated tap water includes a housing unit having a reservoir, and at least one valve arranged in fluid communication with the reservoir, the valve having a water inlet/air exit port arranged adjacent to the housing unit, and a water exit/air inlet port arranged opposite the water inlet/air exit port, whereby when the valve is actuated to its open condition, water flows through the valve and into the bottle, and air entrapped in the bottle flows through the valve and into the surrounding environment. When the valve is in its closed condition, air and water do not flow through the valve.
Abstract:
A water bottle for use in connection with a water treatment device includes an opening with a diameter of at least about 0.87 inches, a diameter of no greater than about 1.06 inches, and a height of at least about 6.56 inches, and a height of no greater than about 8.02.
Abstract:
A stabilized heat curable adhesive prepared from a formulation comprised of (1) at least one free radically polymerizable monomer; (2) at least one epoxy function monomer; (3) at least one free radical polymerization photoinitiator; (4) a thermally-initiated cationic catalyst system comprising (a) at least one salt of an organometallic cation, (b) at least one stabilizing additive; (5) optionally, at least one alcohol-containing material; and (6) optionally, adjuvants.

Abstract:
A water treatment cartridge, or insert, for use in connection with a water treatment device such as a gravity-fed water pitcher or the like includes a support structure and water treatment material arranged in combination with the support structure. The support structure may, for example, generally enclose the water treatment material, or the support structure may be integrated into the structure of the water treatment material
Abstract:
Optical elements are prepared by the adhesive transfer of at least a low temperature curable (e.g., radiation or room temperature curable, preferably pressure-sensitive) adhesive layer and a conductive layer to a substrate, preferably a transparent, non-birefringent substrate such as ceramic, glass or polymeric film having, for example, a color filter array thereon. The (pressure-sensitive) curable adhesive is cured after the curable adhesive layer has been placed into contact with a final receptor surface (e.g., a color filter array on a liquid crystal panel).
Abstract:
A curable composition comprises 0.1 to 50 weight percent of a curable epoxy resin, the weight percent being based on the total resin composition, an effective mount of a curative for the curable epoxy resin, 50 to 99.9 weight percent of at least one of a fully prepolymerized hydrocarbon polyolefin resin and a fully prepolymerized functionalized polyolefin resin, the weight percent being based on the total resin composition, wherein said hydrocarbon polyolefin is present in the range of 25 to 99.9 weight percent of the total resin composition and said functionalized polyolefin is present in the range of 0 to 49.9 weight percent of the total resin composition, said composition being free of epoxidized natural and/or synthetic rubber.
Abstract:
A method for preparing an oriented microporous shaped article is provided. The method comprises the steps of melt blending thermoplastic polymer with a solubilizing amount of a compatible liquid to form a homogeneous solution, forming a shaped article from the solution, cooling the shaped article at a rate and to a temperature sufficient to initiate thermodynamic, non-equilibrium liquid-liquid phase separation and then to solidify the thermoplastic polymer, stretching the article in a first direction sufficient to permanently attenuate the article and effect orientation of the polymer, and removing at least a substantial portion of the compatible liquid before or after the stretching step to form an oriented microporous shaped article.
