A method of forming a bilayer glazing panel by providing an optically clear prelaminate of stretched polyester film coated with a cross-linked, self-healing polyurethane layer; assembling the prelaminate with a layer of plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral with the side of the polyester film without the polyurethane layer in facing contact with a subjacent textured surface of the partial polyviny...

The stack reflectance is predicted from an on-line, wavelength dependent measurement of the sheet reflectance and the on-line measurement of the sheet opacity at a wavelength interval. The stack reflectance Rst is then used to predict and/or control stack color, preferably by using the parameter K/S=(1-Rst2)/2 Rst where K is the dye absorption coefficient and S is the dye scattering coefficient.

Oriented polyester films primer coated with a hydrolyzed amino silane are disclosed. These silanes in the unhydrolyzed state have the formula: XSi(R2)a(R3)b wherein X is a radical selected from the group consisting of H2NR1HNR1-and H2NR1HNR1HNR1-; the R1's are the same or different group selected from the group consisting of C1 to C8 alkyl or phenyl; R2 is a hydrolyzeable group selected from the g...

A method for the preparation of rigid polyurethane and/or polyisocyanurate foams is disclosed. The foams are produced by the reaction of at least difunctional polyisocyanates, a polyol with 3 to 8 hydroxyl groups, said polyol having a hydroxyl number of about 150 to 800, catalysts, blowing agents and foam stabilizers, which are devoid of silicon atoms, as well as, optionally, conventional additive...

An intruder detection system includes a self-supervision feature which, on the basis of detecting authorized pedestrian traffic within a region under surveillance, alerts the system user of potentially faulty system components. Such system comprises a programmable timer which is repeatedly reset to a programmed maximum time interval by each occurence of an alarm-producing event, such as a disturba...

A configuration space is used for path planning and for controlling the motion of an object. The configuration space includes states which contain cost to goal and direction arrow values. These values indicate a path or absence of a path from the states to at least one goal state. The configuration space is differentially updated after a cost to goal or direction arrow value is changed.
