20110159232	FLAME RETARDANT POLY(TRIMETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) COMPOSITIONS - Provided are polyester compositions comprising poly(trimethylene terephthalate) and flame retardant additives that are phosphonic acid esters. The compositions can be used to make articles having reduced flammability and reduced yellowness as compared to conventional poly(trimethylene terephthalate) compositions.	06-30-2011
20120128924	RECYCLED POLY(TRIMETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) AND PROCESSES - The present invention relates to recycled poly(trimethylene terephthalate), and products and processes using the recycled poly(trimethylene terephthalate).	05-24-2012
20130005207	FABRIC PREPARED FROM FLUORINATED POLYESTER BLEND YARNS - Woven, knit, and non-woven fabrics, and garments and other textile goods fabricated therefrom, are prepared from yarns comprising fibers comprising a fluorinated polyester blend prepared by melt blending a fluorovinyl ether functionalized polyester with a non-fluorinated polyester. The fluoroether functionalized polyester can be a homopolymer or a copolymer. The goods so produced exhibit durable soil, oil, and water repellency.	01-03-2013
20130056898	PROCESS FOR PREPARING PELLETS OF POLY(TRIMETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) - The process creates a radial temperature gradient in an extruded strand in a direction normal to the direction of motion thereof (that is, normal to the longitudinal direction thereof) so that upon exiting the first quench region the surface of the strand has solidified while at least the preponderant portion of the interior of the strand remains above the cold crystallization temperature, T	03-07-2013
20130059023	APPARATUS FOR PREPARING PELLETS OF POLY(TRIMETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) - An apparatus is described having an extrusion means for extruding a molten polymer strand; a pelletizer; and a trough disposed to convey a polymer strand from the extrusion means to the pelletizer; the trough has an interior bottom surface; a water dispensing means disposed to provide a layer of water on a first portion of the interior bottom surface that is proximate to the extrusion means; a mesh or perforated surface disposed in the trough downstream from the water dispensing means, disposed to permit the separation of water from a water-immersed strand incident upon it; and a second portion of the interior bottom surface downstream from that mesh or perforated surface, disposed to contain a layer of water.	03-07-2013
20140306363	PROCESS FOR PREPARING BICOMPONENT FIBERS COMPRISING POLY(TRIMETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) - Disclosed is a process for preparing crimpable bicomponent fibers from two poly(trimethylene terephthalate) starting materials that differ from one another in intrinsic viscosity. One starting material is characterized by an intrinsic viscosity ≦0.7 dL/g. The relatively low intrinsic viscosity allows the employment of a low melt temperature, with concomitant reduction in the evolution of acrolein, and without significant degradation in the properties or processibility of the bicomponent fiber.	10-16-2014

20090075154	FUEL CELL BIPOLAR PLATE AND FUEL CELL WITH IMPROVED FLUID DISTRIBUTION EMPLOYING SUCH PLATES - A bipolar plate for a fuel cell including a first through-hole positioned within one of its peripheral edges for circulating a reactive fluid, an anode compartment extending at one of its two main faces, and a cathode compartment extending at the opposite main face. At least one of the compartments is formed completely or partially by a region recessed with respect to the corresponding main face. The recessed region is connected to the through-hole via an intake channel that is recessed within the peripheral edge of the corresponding main face for the reactive fluid to flow into the compartment. A second through-hole located near the first through-hole is provided and is intended for circulating the reactive fluid. The main face opposite the face housing the recessed region comprises a generally non-emergent groove that connects the first and second through-holes.	03-19-2009

20120270454	BODY ARMOR ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING - A coated fabric suitable for use in an anti-ballistic article comprises a fabric comprising at least a first layer of high tenacity yarns such as para-aramid arranged parallel with each other and at least a second layer of high tenacity yarns arranged parallel with each other, the yarns of the first layer having an orientation in a direction that is different from the orientation of the yarns in the second layer, a fluoropolymer, a viscoelastic resin and a thermoset or thermoplastic binding layer, the binding layer being positioned between the first and second layers of yarns. A method of making the surfactant free coated fabric using a non-polar organic solvent is also disclosed.	10-25-2012
20130029151	FLAME-RESISTANT FINISH FOR INHERENTLY FLAME RESISTANT POLYMER YARNS AND PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME - A synthetic fiber yarn and process for providing same, the yarn comprising a plurality of fibers of inherently flame resistant polymer having a surface finish of perfluorinated alkyl ether oil, wherein the perfluorinated alkyl ether has a molecular weight of from 1000 to 4730 and the yarn has a char length when burned of 6 cm or less.	01-31-2013
