PRECURSOR COATING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING WATER AND AN ORGANIC COUPLING SOLVENT SUITABLE FOR SPRAYING WITH SUPERCRITICAL FLUIDS AS DILUENTS The present invention relates to precursor coating compositions containing water and at least one organic solvent which are particularly suitable for being admixed with at least one supercritical fluid used as a viscosity reduction diluent and then spraying th...

An end component for a spin welded container comprises a plug which is received within the container side wall for spin-welding thereto. An annular bead co-operates with a step on the wall to locate the plug. During welding, flash generated at the main weld area below the bead is prevented from escaping upwardly by the bead. A cavity is provided above the bead to retain any material which passes t...

A phosphorus free or a low phosphorus containing lubricant composition is provided by formulating the composition with an additive of the formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 are independently alkyl of 1 to about 7 carbons, aryl, aralkyl or together form an alicyclic or heteroalicyclic radical in which the ring is completed through the nitrogen; X is O or S; a is 1 or 2; R3 and R4 are independ...

IMPLEMENT LIFT AND FLOTATION SYSTEM WITH A SINGLE TRANSVERSELY ADJUSTABLE CYLINDER An implement lift system for a machine such as a front mounted mower having a pair of transversely spaced lift arms operable by a single lift cylinder. The lift cylinder is transversely adjustable utilizing a special cylinder bracket arrangement and a transverse member extending between bend locations on the lift ar...

The present invention provides a multi-layer coating system comprising a pigmented base coat containing metallic f lake, an overlying layer of pigmented transparent coat, and a layer of transparent non-pigmented protective coat, the multi-layer coating system exhibiting dichromatic color travel effects. The layer of a metallic primary base coat comprises a polymeric binder, metallic flake, and a b...

An artificial airway device, for use in place of an endotracheal tube to facilitate lung ventilation in an unconscious patient, is in the form of a laryngeal mask comprising an airway tube (10) opening into the interior space or lumen of a mask portion (12) whose periphery (14), which may be inflatable, is adapted to seal around the inlet (36) to the larynx (38), thus securing the patient's airway...
