Fred Zimmerman - Deephaven MN

Assignee:

ATM Communications International, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G06K 500

US Classification:

235380

Abstract:

The technical field of the invention generally concerns electronic mail systems. The present invention provides an ATM or POS system having a terminal (22, 24, 26, 28 or 34) and processor (18 or 36) which are connected to an ATM or POS data communications network. The network also includes a store and forward message switch (52) which stores user messages for remote retrieval and use as an electronic mail system (10) on a data communications network (42). Messages can be stored or retrieved through standard ATM or POS terminals, through a service bureau, through touch tone telephones (84) or via modems (76). Messages can be retrieved remotely and sent to a facsimile machine (82), a remote paging device, computer (72) or the like. Message information may include payment of user bills, completion of user financial transactions and transmission of information from a variety of databases. Such message information may be generated and transmitted by the system at times predetermined by the user.

International Classification:

A47C 102

US Classification:

29734418

Abstract:

A chair (10) having adjustable height includes a seat (11) and a number of leg members (12). An adjusting mechanism (30) includes an insert sleeve (40) received within a hollow area (31) of a leg member (12). The insert sleeve (40) has an internal thread (52) which threadably receives a leg extension (60) having an external thread (61). Rotation of the leg extension (60) within the sleeve (40) adjusts the length of the leg member (12).

Appl. No.:

7/917772

Inventors:

William D. Stephens - Clearwater FL

Assignee:

TSE Industries, Inc. - Clearwater FL

International Classification:

C08L 8306

US Classification:

524860

Abstract:

An aqueous reaction mixture of a multi-functional polydimethyl siloxane emulsified polymer, a methyl triethoxy silane, a mixture of substituted nonyl or octyl phenol derivative surfactants and synthetic ethoxylated amine surfactants, and ethanol. The reaction mixture is coated on a mold core surface and cured with heat to form a mold release surface that can be used in excess of twenty times prior to recoating.

William D. Stephens - Pinellas Park FL

Assignee:

Sloss Industries Corporation - Birmingham AL

International Classification:

C08G 1814

US Classification:

521 485

Abstract:

A storage stable polyester polyol mixture is prepared by digesting polyalkylene terephthalate, particularly polyethylene terephthalate, with a digesting medium comprising a polycarboxylic acid component-containing polyol, wherein the polycarboxylic acid component has ring units with two ##STR1## groups on adjacent or alternate ring positions, the ring unit content of the polycarboxylic acid component being sufficient for improved storage stability of the digestion product. The polyester polyol mixture is useful in the preparation of cellular foam materials, particularly polyisocyanurate and polyurethane foams.

Appl. No.:

9/556283

Inventors:

William D. Stephens - Clearwater FL
Patricia R. Bertolucci - Tampa FL

Assignee:

TSE Industries, Inc. - Clearwater FL

International Classification:

B05D 508

US Classification:

427133

Abstract:

The reaction product is derived from a composition containing one of seven silanes; dimethyldiethoxysilane, methyldiethoxysilane, dimethyldimethoxysilane, diphenyldimethoxysilane, trimethylmethoxysilane, trimethylethoxysilane, or aminopropyltriethoxysilane, a multi-functional polydimethyl siloxane emulsified polymer, a compatible surfactant, ethanol and a majority component of water. In the method, the reaction product is applied to a heated surface of a mold core to create a semi-permanent coating to facilitate multiple releases of molded parts. If not heated, the mold core must be dried to remove water.

International Classification:

C08L 8306

US Classification:

524860

Abstract:

An aqueous reaction mixture having a pH of 4. 5 to 5. 5 of a multi-functional polydimethyl siloxane emulsified polymer, a methyl triethoxy silane, a mixture of substituted nonyl and octyl phenol derivative surfactants, non-ionic fluorinated alkyl ester surfactant and synthetic ethoxylated amine surfactants, a silanol terminated polydimethyl siloxane and ethanol.
