C08F29900

US Classification:

525191, 525192, 525194, 525195, 525196, 525301

Abstract:

The melt strength is increased and the gloss level is reduced in olefinic TPE compositions through the addition of sufficient amounts of free radical generators (A) and co-curative agents (B). The free radical generators (A) include peroxides, organic peroxides, the persulfates, and the diazo compounds, and mixtures thereof. The co-curative agents (B) includes metal salts of alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids and alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids where the pending acid group has been neutralized, or mixtures thereof, and the metals for forming the metal salts of co-curative agent (B) include zinc, lithium, calcium, magnesium, sodium or aluminum, or mixtures thereof.

C08L 900

US Classification:

525243, 524491, 524523, 524525, 525222, 525232

Abstract:

The invention relates to polymer compositions useful as thermoplastic elastomers for extrusion, calendering, blow molding, thermoforming, and foam processing, and to articles made therefrom. Such improved melt strength thermoplastic elastomers include a blend of propylenic resin (A) and ethylenic elastomer (B), wherein the (A) resin is partially branched and/or the (B) elastomer is partially crosslinked by the addition of multifunctional acrylic monomer (C) containing at least three acrylate groups.

Abstract:

A thermoplastic elastomer with increased oil resistance and decreased compression set compared to conventionally cured thermoplastic elastomers may be made from a dynamically vulcanized blend of propylene resin and ethylene/alpha-olefin/non-conjugated diene elastomers via a curing system containing a free radical initiator, a first co-agent including diene-containing polymers with a 1,2-vinyl content greater than 50% by weight, and a second co-agent including multifunctional acrylates containing at least two acrylate groups, multifunctional maleimides containing at least two imide groups, or mixtures of both, where the elastomer gel content in the modified blend is at least 97%.

Appl. No.:

12/141417

Inventors:

Charles Keller Reid - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

Penson Worldwide, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37, 705 35

Abstract:

A method for routing a financial instrument order incorporating dark pools and at least one electronic communication network (ECN) or exchange. The financial instrument order includes an identification of a financial instrument, a bid or ask price, and a number of units to be traded. A ping order of the dark pools is determined. The financial instrument order is routed to a top dark pool as an immediate or cancel order. If the financial instrument order is not complete, the ping order is updated by removing the top dark pool. If any dark pools remain in the updated ping order, the financial instrument order is routed to the next dark pool. This process continues until all of the dark pools have been pinged or the financial instrument order is complete. If the financial instrument order is not complete, the financial instrument order is routed to the ECN or exchange.

International Classification:

A61M 25/00
A61F 7/00
A61F 7/12

Abstract:

A crush and kink resilient tubing system for an infusion system. The tubing system has an inner sheath with an inner wall forming a passageway for an infusion fluid, and an outer sheath surrounding the inner sheath, wherein the inner sheath material which has a structural rigidity greater than a structural rigidity of the material of the outer sheath, such that a neutral strain line is formed closer to the tube's inner wall than to its outer wall. This combination of materials characteristics and relative thicknesses provides autonomous recovery and rebounding of the tube following removal of a shape deforming force.
