20160037871 | FABRIC FINISHING - A fabric, such as a loop fastener material, is finished by applying a foam to a surface of the fabric, the foam containing both a liquid binder and a powder. The binder is allowed to flow into pores of the fabric and coat fiber interstices of the fabric as the foam collapses, and is dried to stabilize the fabric. The powder is of a particle size selected to cause most of the powder to remain on the surface of the fabric while the binder is dried to bond the powder to the fabric surface. The powder, as bonded to the fabric surface, is activatable, such as by heat or RF or UV energy, to adhere the stabilized fabric to another surface or to provide a desired surface property. | 02-11-2016 |
20160053801 | FASTENER INCLUDING ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A fastener comprises a threaded surface and an adhesive composition at least partially disposed on the threaded surface. The adhesive composition includes an inorganic compound comprising at least one Group 1 metal and at least one Group 13 element and/or Group 14 element. The inorganic compound is present in an amount of at least about 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the adhesive composition. A method of making the (coated) fastener comprises the steps of providing a fastener, providing the adhesive composition, and applying the adhesive composition to at least a portion of the threaded surface of the fastener. A method of joining adjacent elements comprises the steps of providing the adjacent elements, providing the fastener, and disposing the fastener adjacent and/or through the adjacent elements. An adhesive, formed by curing the adhesive composition, has excellent physical properties, including adhesive strength and high temperature resistance. | 02-25-2016 |
20160059979 | ADHESIVE CLAMP FOR CLOSING A BAG - An adhesive clamp for reclosing a packaging bag, the adhesive clamp comprises a tape having one side of the tape coated with an adhesive substance and a clamping strip of foldable non-elastic material attached to the adhesive side of the tape and where the tape is wider and longer than the clamping strip. | 03-03-2016 |
20160073743 | METHOD FOR INSTALLING SLIDE FASTENER ASSEMBLY IN THIN SHELL GARMENT - A method of installing a slide fastener assembly in a thin shell garment includes: providing a slide fastener chain comprised of two interlocked rows of teeth, each row of teeth being attached to a cord bundle of a respective slide fastener tape; removing the interlocked rows of teeth from a portion of the slide fastener chain, thereby defining a length of the slide fastener chain without teeth; introducing a reinforcing film to the cord bundles, at a location along the length of the slide fastener chain without teeth, to shape the cord bundles for accommodation of a pin and box assembly; cutting the slide fastener chain at a film-reinforced location along the length of the slide fastener chain without teeth, thereby defining a semi-finished slide fastener assembly terminating in a film-reinforced end; and attaching the semi-finished slide fastener assembly to one or more panels of a thin shell garment. After attachment of the semi-finished slide fastener assembly to the one or more panels of the thin shell garment, the pin and box assembly is installed at the film-reinforced end of the semi-finished slide fastener assembly. | 03-17-2016 |
20160124156 | METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A MULTI-FIBER OPTICAL CROSS-CONNECTION - Systems and method for automatically establishing a multi-fiber optical cross-connection. The method may include the steps of: identifying a plurality of communications connections that require connection to one or more optical fibers; mapping the holes in a plurality of ferrules, the ferrules configured to accept optical fibers therethrough; based on positions of end points of the communications connections and the positions of the mapped holes in the plurality of ferrules, generating an insertion algorithm for a plurality of optical fibers; inserting each of the optical fibers in pre-selected holes of the mapped holes based on the insertion algorithm. | 05-05-2016 |
