The present invention relates to methods for improving the dust capture properties of dedusting oils, which properties are useful in the manufacture and installation of loose-fill insulation.
Over the past 40 years, many homeowners have begun to install extra insulation in their attics or crawlspaces in an effort to save money on heating bills. Typically, new construction is thoroughly insulated in accordance with applicable building codes and industry standards. A common form of insulation used by consumers and insulation contractors has been fiberglass insulation batts and blankets. However, insulation batts are relatively expensive and may require some cutting and shaping during installation.
More recently, the use of glass fiber blowing wool or loose-fill insulation has increased in popularity. Loose-fill, fiberglass insulation exists in many forms. Bonded and non-bonded loose-fill fiberglass are commonly used terms to describe loose-fill insulation products. Bonded loose-fill insulation is derived from blanket or batt insulation which has been made with a thermoset binder. It is produced by either pulverizing or cutting the blanket or batt insulation, compressing the resulting product and packaging it into bags. Non-bonded, loose-fill insulation comprises smaller nodules of traditional, straight, short fibers which are treated with a dedusting oil, compressed, and packaged into bags. Both bonded and non-bonded loose fill insulations can be installed in attics and sidewalls using a pneumatic blowing machine.
Loose-fill insulation is popular with insulation contractors because it can be easily and quickly applied in both new construction as well as in existing structures. Further, loose-fill insulation is a relatively low cost material. However, fiberglass loose-fill insulation is typically applied by contractors rather than homeowners because of the special blowing equipment needed. Such insulation is typically packaged in large bags weighing e.g., 25-35 lbs.
Cellulose loose-fill insulation is another type of insulation commonly used by consumers, which is formed from shredded, recycled newspapers. Cellulose insulation is desirable for installation by consumers as it is available in smaller packages and is less expensive than most other forms of loose-fill insulation. However, such insulation is dusty, dirty and difficult to blow properly, and also requires special blowing equipment to install.
When loose-fill insulations are pneumatically applied, they can be the source of dust and irritation for the installer. While dedusting oils are typically applied at the time of manufacture to control this dust, and the installers are advised to wear a dust mask and protective gear to reduce their exposure to dust, the effectiveness of these oils could be improved, especially when the oils are applied at low application rates (e.g., less than about 2% by weight).
The purpose of the present invention is to substantially improve the dust capture properties of dedusting oils by modifying these oils with nonionic and/or cationic surfactants. These surfactants may be added individually, or in combination to the dedusting oils. The application of surfactant modified oils reduces the airborne dust that is generated when loose-fill insulation is installed pneumatically.
The present invention serves to substantially improve the dust capture property of dedusting oils, by modifying these oils with effective amounts of nonionic or cationic surfactants. In testing of the present invention, oils which were modified with various surfactants were applied through an oil application system onto non-bonded, loose-fill insulation, at a preferred amount of approximately 2% by weight using either air atomized or hydraulic pressure nozzles. One such oil is commercially available as Telura� 720E from Exxon Mobil Corporation. The non-bonded, loose-fill material was packaged and tested for its dust generation characteristics. When compared to a control material made with an unmodified paraffin oil with a viscosity of 100 SUS, the non-bonded, loose-fill product made with the surfactant modified oil exhibited substantially lower dust levels. Furthermore, by the method of the present invention, the surfactant modified oils reduce dust levels of insulation that are produced over a range of fiberizing conditions.
Note that the treatment of the present invention should be applied to loose-fill insulation at a temperature at or above about 80� F., preferably from about 80-110� F.
The following testing demonstrates that the use of surfactant modified oils significantly reduced the airborne dust levels of a sample of thermal insulation product, as compared to similar insulations made with conventional dedusting oils. Dust levels were measured using the methodology as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,005,662 and 6,122,054, herein incorporated by reference. Two distinct fiberizing conditions were tested. One condition had a fiber fineness index of 2.9 and the other had a fineness index of 2.65 when measured by ASTM D1488-97 standard test method for micronaire reading of cotton fibers. In general, finer fibers tend to produce more dust.
Table 1 shows the % increase in dust reduction when loose-fill insulation made with the experimental oils was compared to loose fill insulation using the standard dedusting oil, Prorex 100 made by Exxon Mobil.
As noted above, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant modified oil tested was a standard dust control oil, modified to include 2% by weight of glycerol monooleate, a nonionic surfactant. Percents by weight of surfactant may range from about 0.5-10%. It is anticipated that alternative nonionic surfactants would also be effective, e.g., mono-, di-, and tri-fatty acid esters of glycerol and modified esters of this type, so long as effective amounts of such surfactants were applied.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the nonionic surfactant is a monoester of an unsaturated or saturated acid. The unsaturated acid may be e.g., linoleic or linolenic acid. The saturated acid may be e.g., a C12 to C18 lauric, myristic, palmitic or stearic acid. In a further preferred embodiment, the nonionic surfactant is a diester or triester of an unsaturated or saturated acid.
As it relates to the loose-fill insulation, it is preferred that the modified oil be applied to the loose-fill insulation at from about 0.5-2.5% by weight, with an amount of about 2.0% by weight particularly preferred.
While this invention has been described with respect to particular embodiments thereof, it is apparent that numerous other forms and modifications of this invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The appended claims and this invention generally should be construed to cover all such obvious forms and modifications which are within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

If I could give UniquePhones (unlocking.com) a zero I would. In my opinion this organization is a fraud/scam and I only wish I had checked reviews before spending money. Every day, they adjust their status page to push the delivery date out another day or two. You'll never get there. Minimal and bad service and the only way you'll get a phone number is through the New York BBB that rates them "F". They never answer the phone anyway. If you really read their T's and C's, you'll see that they owe you nothing unless you send them videos, pictures, etc to keep stalling you. I wouldn't believe any positive ratings here as they may be from "shills". Kiss your money goodbye. Too bad more people (like myself) don't do enough due diligence before sending $$$ and sending credit card information to them.

Mr. Bartley's offers a menu of political choices
Send this to a friend
- Joe Halpern
- Research Director- Boston Business Journal
If you're looking for some insight into how the elections are going to play out, just look at the burger menu at Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burgers in Harvard Square.
Famous for frying up 7-ounce celebrity-inspired burgers, the 50-year-old restaurant's constantly evolving menu currently features 11 burgers named after politicians.
From the presidential race, The Barrack Obama, for $10.15, is described on the menu as "(one and done?)" with feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and french fries. The Mitt Romney, for $11.70, is described as "(2012 or bust)" with Swiss cheese, grilled onions and onion rings.
On a more local level, the Bartley's burger menu coincides with the hotly contested U.S. senator race in Massachusetts: The Scott Brown, for $11.60, is described as "(what the truck)" with bacon, American cheese, grilled onions, jalapenos and french fries. The Elizabeth Warren ("liberally anointed") features Swiss cheese and grilled peppers with potato salad.
Billy Bartley, who oversees the restaurant's daily operation now along with his wife, Karen, insists he has not been keeping a tally of the politically named burgers. But the man who does not hide his allegiance for the Republican Party, even in liberal Cambridge, did offer this little bit of insight on burgers and politics.
"The Barrack Obama is a pretty basic burger but it's way up there (as far as sales go)," he said. "The Scott Brown has been a hot seller ever since we put it on the menu three years ago. We can't give the Elizabeth Warren away, which probably is because of what's in it."
Billy, whose parents, Joan and Joseph Bartley, opened Mr. and Mrs. Bartley's Gourmet Cottage at 1246 Massachusetts Ave. in Harvard Square in 1960, said coming up with new burgers named after celebrities is a big part of the restaurant's history. The first political burger sold there was The Richard Nixon. The 4-ounce burger sold for 48 cents, said Billy.
Today, burgers have a way of coming and going on Bartley's menu, based mainly on the popularity of the celebrities they are named after. The menu still includes: This Lady Gaga ("lady gag me") and The Bobby Valentine ("no fried chicken or beer allow"). But Billy is not sure how much longer they will be around.
Billy's favorite burger? "That's easy. The Viagra" he said. "It's always fun when a guy orders that burger and we yell out so everyone hears 'One Viagra for the big guy at the counter.' That usually is good for a laugh."

How did SMU hire Larry Brown? By almost quadrupling basketball coach's pay
Apr 27, 2014, 11:00 AM EST
SMU made a splash in the coaching carousel in 2012 when it hired Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown as head coach. The hire marked Brown's return to college coaching for the first time since 1988 when he was on the Kansas sidelines.
How did SMU lure Brown, a coach who had won a title in the NCAA and the NBA, to Dallas?
According to a report from Steve Berkowitz of USA Today, the school was able to land Brown by nearly quadrupling the basketball coach's salary. Brown was hired in April 2012, and in the remaining eight months of that year Brown made a sum of $1.9 million in total compensation, according to Berkowitz.
On an annualized basis, that put Brown's pay at almost $2.8 million. SMU tax records showed [Matt] Doherty being credited with about $635,000 in 2011 and just over $650,000 in 2012, including just over $485,000 in severance pay.
The Mustangs were set to move into the Big East (which then became the newly-formed American Athletic Conference) in 2013, and the acquisition of Brown paid off immediately in terms of on the floor success, recruiting and fan interest.
The renovated Moody Coliseum saw six sellouts in the final two months of the 2013-2014 season, as the Mustangs cracked the top 25 for the first time since the 1984-1985 season. While SMU was snubbed from the NCAA tournament due to its weak non-conference schedule, SMU is projected for a big upcoming season. The Ponies are ranked No. 10 in the College Basketball Talk Way-To-Early Top 25.
Leading scorers Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy return, with Moore joined by Emmanuel Mudiay, the No. 2 overall recruit in the Class of 2014, in the back court. SMU is also a finalist for five-star center Myles Turner, the No. 9 overall recruit, according to Rivals.
SMU president Gerald Turner has been for reform in college athletics, but has clearly seen the benefits of big spending.

Good improvements lately to the iOS app, but there a few issues that I have with it that I'd like to see addressed...
Primarily, the rotation issue- I mentioned before that the app should respect the rotation, esp. on iPad and allowing the device to be held "upside down", with the button at the top. I notice that this enhancement was made on one of the recent releases, but it needs to go one step further.
As it stands today, the app assumes portrait orientation on startup. It recognizes rotation events and will rotate to the correct orientation. However, it needs to NOT assume portrait on startup. If I have the iPad in landscape orientation and start the app, it is in portrait. I have to rotate the device physically to portrait and back to landscape to correct the orientation.
Second issue- the large amount of white (black) space in landscape mode under the move list. Why only show the last 3 moves when so much space is unused below that list? Better would be to take all the available space for the move list. Also, let me scroll the move list and tap on a move to go back to that move.
Thanks for the improvements, and I hope to see what you do in the future.

Champion Boxer Teaches Children About Veganism
Omowale Adewale steps outside the ring to fight for children, by teaching them the merits of healthful eating and boxing.
Champion vegan boxer and fitness extraordinaire Omowale Adewale has gained renown for his plant-based proclivities and prowess inside the ring. The 2012 Brooklyn Brawl winner has hit the road on his Boxing as Veg: Tao of Plant-Based Training tour to educate people on the importance of balanced vegan diet, and give boxing lessons. "My purpose is to illustrate that a vegan diet can be beneficial for long-term and short-term health results," says Adewale. "I also want to demonstrate especially for youth that boxing is a great form of conditioning and great for addressing fear, bullying, and self-aggression." According to Adewale, he will continue his fight inside and outside the ring, competing in the Fight for Autism on May 2, then appearing at the NOLA Veggie Fest in New Orleans, and then taking a trip to Geneva for Veggie Pride Internationale.

The former first-round draft pick has 21 points (11-10) in 24 games since arriving.

Teachers have been there for years and are not current in professional development. The school has a tendency to hire alumni or family of alumni who teach the way they were taught . Rather than according to standards and practice. There is little oversight and/or guidance for the faculty because there is a shell of administrative support staff. Suddenly this year the school has linked some of their upper school curricular content directly to the Common Core outcomes but few of the faculty have the skills to teach the Common Core because they are not required to learn it or keep current in learning theory. I have heard it is because they are trying to get reaccredited. The school has never functioned as a school with an integrated and implemented curriculum at least for the years our kids were there.

No. 24 Notre Dame beats South Florida 73-65
South Florida saw its upset bid dashed after a rough second half against No. 24 Notre Dame.
Associated Press
South Florida saw its upset bid dashed after a rough second half against No. 24 Notre Dame.
Jerian Grant scored 18 points and Tom Knight had 17 as Notre Dame beat South Florida 73-65 on Saturday.
Zach LeDay had 17 points and Anthony Collins added 12 for South Florida (10-9, 1-6 Big East). Collins had 10 points in the first half when the Bulls grabbed a 35-28 lead.
"Once they got momentum going second half, we just couldn't get it back," South Florida coach Stan Heath said.
Notre Dame used a 20-3 run to go ahead 48-40 with 13 minutes to play. Pat Connaughton's 3-pointer broke a 40-all tie before Knight dunked and Grant connected on a 3 to make it 48-40.
Knight, a 6-foot-10 senior, made his first start of the season. It was his first career double-digit scoring game.
The Fighting Irish played without sixth-year forward Scott Martin, who is out indefinitely with a bad left knee.
Eric Atkins added 13 points and Connaughton contributed 12 for Notre Dame (16-4, 4-3), which had lost three of four, including a 63-47 home loss to Georgetown last Monday.
"Just coming on the road, getting away is definitely something that we needed," Grant said. "It just helps our focus get back there, where we needed it to be."
Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley, who entered averaging 14.8 points, finished with six points and 14 rebounds.
South Florida got within 52-48 midway through the second half on LeDay's basket. Notre Dame responded by scoring the next six points, a three-point play by Grant and a 3-pointer by Atkins.
Victor Rudd gave South Florida a 37-28 lead with a dunk on the first possession of the second half.
Collins' three-point play tied it at 28 4 minutes before intermission.
"We talked about 20 ways of how we're going to deal with him in the ball screen," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "He just keeps putting pressure on you, getting into the lane deeper and deeper. If we didn't fix that, we would have lost by 15. I love him. He's a fearless guy. There's no one else like him in our league."
Toarlyn Fitzpatrick hit a long-range jumper, JaVontae Hawkins had a tip-in and Rudd made a jumper that put the Bulls up 35-28 in the final minute of the half.
"Great first half," Heath said. "We really shot the ball well. Played well as a team. Our zone was really effective in the first half and that gave us the stops we needed to keep momentum going."
Notre Dame took a 24-18 lead on Connaughton's rebound basket with 8 minutes left in the opening half. The Fighting Irish failed to score during the first-half's final 5 minutes.

'Deadliest Catch' captain docks in Ranch
Date: June 16, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
One of the star captains featured on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" is docking in Lakewood Ranch next month.
Captain Keith Colburn of the fishing vessel Wizard will be the featured guest at the Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix Festival from 6-9 p.m., July 1, on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch. The street event is free. Race boats will be on display, and there will be live entertainment by Rye Road Band and activities for the entire family on Main Street.
There will also be a private party with limited tickets available. the price is $10 per person and includes a cash bar and hors d' oeuvres (children 12 and under free) at Polo Grill's Fete Ballroom. Guests will enjoy a question-and-answer period with Colburn. He will be available to sign autographs and take photos with guests. Ticket sales will benefit the Suncoast Foundation for the Handicapped Inc.
This year's Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix Festival celebrates 25 years, and Sarasota remains one of the longest continuously running race sites in the world.
"It is an honor for me to be a part of this year's festival," Colburn said. "During a prior visit into the Sarasota area, I had an opportunity to meet the Suncoast Foundation board of directors and festival founders. With the festival celebrating its 25th anniversary ... this is a true testament to their tireless commitment and generous support.
"I also had an opportunity to tour several facilities which have been constructed as a result of funds raised by this annual event," Colburn said. "Seeing firsthand the great work they do for so many challenged children, adults and their families was truly amazing. As a father of two, it is heartwarming for me to be involved and know the vast impact this festival has on so many."
To purchase tickets, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 757-1548. For an entire festival schedule, visit www.suncoastoffshore.org.

What language would you be?
Their result for What language would you be? ...
You might not be rich and priviliged but you are streetwise and you know how to take care of yourself. Your low wealth and prestige means that if you were a language you would be Anglo-Saxon.
After the invasion of England by the French-speaking Normans, the Anglo-Saxon language was relegated to the poor and uneducated, while the rich and educated spoke French. Because of these gritty conotations, Anglo-Saxon words became thought of as uncultured. This is why it would be rude today to order a meal using the Anglo-Saxon-derived word "cow" and far more proper to instead use the French-derived word "beef". The same goes for pork, veal, and poultry. Some other unclassy words English has inherited from Anglo-Saxon include most of the English swear words.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 0% on Japanese, higher than 29% of your peers.
They scored -3% on Mandarin, higher than 11% of your peers.
They scored -2% on English, higher than 8% of your peers.
They scored 4% on Basque, higher than 77% of your peers.
They scored 0% on Livonian, higher than 50% of your peers.
They scored 6% on Anglo-Saxon, higher than 83% of your peers.
