Priority is claimed under the provisions of 35 USC 119 to Application No. EP05005097, filed in Europe on Mar. 9, 2005 and Application No. EP05112923, filed in Europe on Dec. 23, 2005. The contents of these priority documents is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
(1) Field of Invention
The invention relates to plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide on a substrate and to a process for producing plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide.
(2) Description of Related Art
Plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide are used to protect components of ships and aircraft from corrosion or wear (Herbert Hermann, Spektrum der Wissenschaft [Spectrum of Science], November 1988, page 102). These mixed aluminium oxide layers have cracks. It is also known to produce aluminium oxide layers by means of the plasma spraying process (S. Jiansirisomboon et al., Journal of the European Ceramic Society 23, (2003) 961-976). These layers likewise have cracks.
It is known to produce plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide from powders on a micrometer scale. The pore sizes may in this case be in the range from 20 to 40 μm.
It is known to produce coatings by means of the plasma process from nanoscale Al2O3/TiO2 powders (U.S. Pat. No. 6,723,387).
For this purpose, it is known to produce nanoscale aluminium oxide powder by means of chemical vapour condensation (CVC). In this case, the precursor, together with a carrier gas stream, is reacted at a hot wall or in a flame reactor (U.S. Pat. No. 6,723,387). The reactors used in that document are described in documents U.S. Pat. No. 5,514,350 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,876,683.
According to U.S. Pat. No. 5,514,350, non-agglomerated nanostructured (n-ceramic) powders are produced from organometallic precursors by the organometallic precursors in a carrier gas stream being thermally decomposed in a hot fluidized-bed reactor. In particular, powders of the formula n-SiCxN4 are obtained from hexamethyldisiloxane.
The document does not describe a pyrogenic process in which evaporable metal oxide/metal compounds are hydrolyzed in the hydrogen-oxygen flame to form the pure oxides.
According to U.S. Pat. No. 5,876,683, non-agglomerated oxidic powders are produced in the size of nanoparticles by an evaporated organometallic compound being mixed with an oxygen-containing fuel gas stream, this gas stream being fed to a flame and burnt there, with a pressure of from 1 to 50 mbar being maintained in the reaction chamber.
The non-agglomerated oxides produced can be applied to a cooled roller or, if the flame is configured as a plasma flame, direct to a substrate, with a solid layer being formed on the substrate.
It is also known for nanostructured aluminium oxide which has been produced by means of the CVC method in a hot-wall reactor to be suspended in an organic liquid and this suspension to be processed by means of the plasma spraying process (US 2003/0077398 A1).
It is also known to produce mechanically stable, crack-free layers of aluminium oxide produced by flame spraying in a thickness of from 50 to 1000 μm in order to increase the stability of components made from quartz, such as for example quartz crucibles. Details as to the structure of the Al2O3-layer are not given (WO 02/092525 A1).
It is also known to produce an amorphous material by means of plasma spraying by aluminium oxide mixed with other oxides being fed to the plasma (WO 2004/016821).
The known Al2O3-layers may disadvantageously have defects, such as pores and cracks. This residual porosity may have an adverse effect on the micro-hardness and wear resistance.
The object therefore exists of producing plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide which have a minimum number of defects, such as cracks and pores within the layer, and a high resistance to wear.
The subject matter of the invention is plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide on a substrate, which are characterized in that the particles of the aluminium oxide in the layer have a size of from 20 to 30 nm (nanometers) and are predominantly in the α-phase. In one particular embodiment of the invention, a pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide is used to produce the plasma-sprayed layers.
The layers of aluminium oxide according to the invention can be applied to a substrate, consisting of steel or of borosilicate glasses.
A further subject of the invention is a process for producing the plasma-sprayed layer of aluminium oxide, which is characterized in that a pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide is used as starting powder in a plasma spraying process that is known per se.
The pyrogenically produced (fumed) aluminium oxide can be produced using the known process of flame or high-temperature hydrolysis, in particular the flame hydrolysis for the production of pyrogenically produced oxides (Ullmann's Enzyklop�die der techn. Chemie [Ullman's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry], 4th Edition, volume 21, page 464 (1982).
The pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide can be produced, for example, from aluminium trichloride, which is evaporated, mixed with dry air and hydrolyzed in a hydrogen-oxygen flame to form aluminium oxide.
The aluminium oxide precipitates as Aerosil and is passed through a cooling or coagulation section, where the aluminium oxide coagulates or agglomerates and flocculates.
The pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide may have a primary particle size of 13�5 μm. It may have a tapped density of 50�25 g/l. Furthermore, it may have an aluminium oxide content of more than 99.6% by weight.
The aluminium oxide used may, for example, be the pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide C. The physico-chemical data of aluminium oxide C are listed in Table 1.
In one embodiment of the invention, it is possible to use a pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide which has been granulated.
In another embodiment of the invention, the starting powder used may be pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide granules which have been produced by pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide being dispersed in water and then spray-dried.
This product is known from WO 03/014021. It is a granulated material based on pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide with a mean particle diameter of from 5.0 to 150 μm and a tapped density of from 300 to 1.200 g/l.
These aluminium oxide granules are produced by Degussa AG under the name AEROPERL� Alu 100/30.
The plasma spraying process is known from S. Jiansirisomboon et al. Journal of European Ceramic Society 23 (2003), 961-976.
Plasma spraying belongs to the thermal spraying processes.
In the case of atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), a plasma is generated from a gas (primary gas) with the aid of a direct current between a water-cooled anode and a water-cooled cathode. This gas is, for example, nitrogen or forming gas. Different temperatures can be generated in the plasma flame depending on the type of gas. With this type of plasma (thermal plasma), the high temperature (several 10000 K) is obtained by the dissociated ions recombining in the plasma.
In addition to the high temperature of the plasma, very high gas outlet velocities from the plasma gun occur. These velocities may be in the range of several 100 m/s. As a result, the particles, which are melted in the flame, impact on the substrate at a high velocity. In the process, some of the impact energy is converted into heat.
The gas velocity can be varied and increased by introducing an additional gas (secondary gas).
On account of the high flame temperatures and the high gas velocities, it is possible to process high-melting materials, such as for example Al2O3.
The starting powder is introduced either axially or radially directly into the plasma flame with the aid of a gas stream. The basics of the process are illustrated in
The layer thicknesses of the plasma-sprayed layers may be in the range from a few μm to a few cm.
Different substrate materials may be appropriate depending on the type of sprayed layer and its use. The plasma-sprayed layer is generally used to improve the properties of the substrate material.
For example, the Al2O3-layer according to the invention can be used to improve the wear resistance, the thermal insulation or the corrosion resistance. Both metals (e.g. steels), ceramics (e.g. Al2O3 or ZrO2) and glasses (e.g. borosilicate glass) are suitable for use as substrates.
The linear expansion coefficients of the substrates and of the layers should be matched to one another in order to prevent the layer from flaking. If the expansion coefficients are very different, it is possible to use interlayers (e.g. Ni—Cr—Al), the expansion coefficients of which are between those of the substrates and the actual functional layers.
In the case of the Al2O3-layers according to the invention, based on aluminium oxide granules, if the substrate used is steel it is advantageously possible to employ, for example, Ni—Cr—Al as an interlayer.
The production according to the invention of plasma-sprayed Al2O3-layers using aluminium oxide granules has the advantage that the layers are sintered at the same time as they are being applied.
On account of the short sintering time, the grain size of the particles has increased only slightly. The AEROXIDE� Alu C particles have a particle size of approx. 13 nm.
As can be seen from the TEM image shown in
The plasma spraying was carried out with a power of 35 kw and a substrate-gun distance of 13 cm.
The layers produced by the plasma process in accordance with the invention primarily comprise the desired α-phase (
With the known sintering method (sintering in a furnace), a longer sintering time is required and the particles grow very considerable up to a particle size of a few hundred nanometers.
The plasma-sprayed layers of aluminium oxide according to the invention can be used in the field of wear or corrosion protection, for example for components for ships or aircraft. The use of the plasma-sprayed layers according to the invention with a nanoscale structure allows the properties of these layers to be configured in such a way as to provide a higher resistance to wear and corrosion. The basis for this is the minimizing of the defects, such as cracks and pores, within the layer.
Moreover, the process according to the invention has the advantage that in particular the conveying installations do not become blocked, on account of the advantageous free-flowing properties of the aluminium oxide granules used.
The spraying tests were carried out using AEROPERL� Alu 100/30, granules based on pyrogenically produced aluminium oxide (produced by Degussa AG) using APS (Metco F4).
The AEROPERL� Alu 100/30 has the following physico-chemical characteristic data:
The powder was used to carry out spraying tests on circular steel blanks (ST37, 110 mmφ). Layers in the range from 100-160 μm were sprayed with the aid of a mask (100 mmφ).
Depending on the spraying parameters, the application capacity was approx. 22-33%.
On account of the low density of the material, the powder delivery rates are approx. 2.8-3.2 g/min (Degussa Al2O3). The volume of powder delivered was comparable to crushed grades.
The spraying parameters associated with the specimens are given in Table 2. In total, only four circular blanks were sprayed.
Electrical breakdown tests were carried out on the APS-sprayed layers. The breakdown strengths are in the range of standard plasma-sprayed aluminium oxide layers. The results are given in Table 3.

Yes, I too was disappointed when I tried this dress as I was so pleased the dress fell below the knee. Difficult to find longer length dresses this summer. The front and back center seams were too obvious and the pattern design was not matched. I had not seen a dress sewn this way before. I would have preferred white or off white to cream in the color scheme. I returned the dress.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not Good
By Marilyn

The one redeeming feature about this dress was the length. Knee length dresses that look so good on other people just don't work for me so I was delighted when I saw this one on TV. I was disappointed. The colours, fuchsia and black on cream, are very harsh. The shape, unbelted, is tent like and the belt doesn't improve it very much.

Stimulus Plan Stuffed with Pork, Pet Projects
There are 46 comments on the www.newsmax.com story from Jan 26, 2009, titled Stimulus Plan Stuffed with Pork, Pet Projects. In it, www.newsmax.com reports that:
President Barack Obama's ban on earmarks in the $825 billion economic stimulus bill doesn't mean interest groups, lobbyists and lawmakers won't be able to funnel money to pet projects.
They're just working around it and perhaps inadvertently making the process more secretive.

Clearly, pouring money into the pockets of liberal Marxist that seeks to convert US to Chavez and Putin style socialistic regime is like pouring more fuel into a huge fire.
For the Islamic rooted and Marxist president Hussein the money will be used mostly to assure winning the next elections of 2010 and his re-election of 2012 by enriching the Blacks and the unions that support him.
The huge stimulus deal is a fraud and has nothing to do with adding any job other than giving free checks to minority that will not even do any work for the money. American people need a break from the government to solve the problem with tax cuts and credit to small businesses.
Significant portion of the money will be used to collect medical data on every American which means government control of the private life of every American.
The radical liberal regime of Obama will use hundreds of billion dollars of the American people taxpayer to drive American corporations and small businesses to bankruptcy and to strengthen his socialistic government rule over the American people, taking away their liberty and freedom.

FDRs own Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau stated in 1939:
We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it DOES NOT WORK We have never made good on our promises I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started.... And an enormous debt to boot!
This is all in stark contrast to the proven Reagan Recovery of the 1980s, which brought us back from almost 11% unemployment (50% worse than today), plus double-digit inflation and interest rates.He accomplished this with an adherence to Friedman's Chicago School philosophy- with spending cuts and tax cuts, in addition to deregulation and incentives for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Ronald Reagan created over 20M jobs growing the countrys real GDP by almost 30% in the process. Those kind of results makes one wonder why Obamas trillion-dollar spending plan would impress ANY-body, with his pledged 3M new and saved jobs (whatever those are) a paltry figure 17M jobs shy of The Gippers towering accomplishment.

J. David Bethel, who retired from government in 2009 – his final position was associate administrator of the Office of Citizen Services at the General Services Administration – has launched a second career as a fiction author.
Through his own publishing company, Two Dog Publishing, he recently published "Evil Town," a political thriller set in Washington D.C. and the Florida Everglades. The book is available electronically for the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook.
Bethel, who now lives in Miami, said retirement from the government gave him a resource he previously had not had – time.
"I've always written fiction and have had a number of short stories published," he said. "I wanted to try my hand at writing a novel but the prospect was too daunting when I was working full time. I did create the framework for Evil Town while working in DC, and when I retired (semi-retired really) I decided to complete the novel."
Eight months after self-publishing the book, Bethel reports he has sold a few hundred copies. That is "not overwhelming, but I've attracted the attention of a couple of literary agents who are considering taking the book on for representation," he said. "And the reviews have been excellent so that is satisfying."
As Bethel watches the progress of Evil Town, he's also working on two other novels – another Washington, DC-based thriller and a crime story inspired by true events.

Schneider gets yanked after allowing five goals
Jan 19, 2013, 11:58 PM EDT
Cory Schneider's tenure as the Vancouver Canucks starting goaltender is off to a rocky start. Schneider allowed five Anaheim goals on 14 shots, including three goals within the span of 3:04 in the second period before getting pulled in favor of Roberto Luongo.
Schneider was playing in his first game since inking a three-year, $12 million contract extension over the summer. The deal — combined with Luongo's struggles in the playoffs — led to speculation that the Canucks were going to trade Luongo and fully commit to the Schneider era.
In the end, the Vancouver Canucks entered the season with both goaltenders. Despite the awkward situation, Luongo hasn't put pressure on Canucks GM Mike Gillis to trade him and, in turn, Gillis has downplayed the trade rumors.
In the end, maybe entering the season with two capable starting goaltenders won't prove to be such a bad idea, even if their combined annual cap hit is an unsettling $9,333,333.

It's been a while since I checked in with Kodansha, so this week's column explores two recent additions to the KC catalog: A Silent Voice, which explores the complex relationship between a bully and his victim, and Your Lie in April, which focuses on a piano prodigy who flamed out at an early age.
A Silent Voice, Vol. 1
By Yoshitoki Oima
Rated T, for Teens
Kodansha Comics, $10.99
Thirteen-year-old Shouya Ishida is at loose ends: he's a mediocre student, a latch-key kid, and a thrill-seeker who goads his friends into dangerous stunts. When deaf girl Shoko Nishimiya joins Ishida's class, however, Ishida's recklessness shades into cruelty. He orchestrates a systematic campaign of harassment against her, mocking her speech, stealing her hearing aides, and blaming her for "ruining" the class.
What distinguishes A Silent Voice from dozens of other issue-of-the-week manga is its perspective: author Yoshitoki Oima tells the story from the bully's point of view rather than the victim's, thus avoiding the temptation to paint Ishida as a monster. As Oima capably shows, Ishida's inability to control his worst impulses is not a sign of depravity, but of loneliness, frustration, and immaturity. Similarly, Oima resists the urge to blame Ishida's mother for her son's behavior, portraying her as a hard-working, decent woman who's struggling to run a business and raise two children on her own. Instead, Oima zeroes in the complex dynamic between Ishida and his classmates, acknowledging the degree to which their own hostility towards Nishimiya validates–and encourages–Ishida's cruelty.
In one scene, for example, the teacher calls on Nishimiya to read a passage out loud. Her words are labored and difficult to understand, prompting uncomfortable stares from the class. When Ishida is asked to do the same, he's emboldened by his peers' response. "Uwah! Uwoh! Argle! Bargle!" he declares, feasting on the giggles and snickers his impression generates. Though the teacher issues Ishida a stern warning, Mr. Takeuchi's own contempt for Nishimiya seeps into their conversation, granting Ishida further license to harass his classmate.
I'd be the first to admit that A Silent Voice is a difficult read, not least for the scenes in which Ishida torments Nishimiya; Oima captures Nishimiya's reactions with heart-breaking specificity, even though her character seldom utters a word. It's a worthwhile series, however, for the truthful way in which it explores the role of passivity and group-think in creating an environment ripe for harassment.
Your Lie in April, Vol. 1
By Naoshi Arakawa
Rated T, for Teens
Kodansha Comics, $10.99
Your Lie in April follows the budding relationship between Kosei Arima, a piano prodigy, and Kaori Miyazono, a violinist who plays by her own rules. When Arima first meets Miyazono, he's crippled by his own perfectionism. Miyazono, on the other hand, is fearless, giving emotionally authentic–if messy–performances that irk judges and wow audiences. Miyazono has an equally messy personality–she's impetuous, petulant, and bossy–but captivates Arima with the sheer force of her enthusiasm.
I'll be honest: I'd like Your Lie in April a lot more if it focused on a drama troupe or a sports team. That may seem like an odd admission from a musicologist, but Miyazono's character embodies what I dislike most about popular depictions of classical music. Her eclectic performances are offered as evidence of her "true" musical ability, while the judges' disapproval is portrayed as a failure of imagination. Yet a score isn't a loose set of guidelines to be followed at the musician's whim, it's an explicit representation of the composer's intentions; willfully ignoring tempo markings, dynamics, and phrasing misses the entire point of musical notation. Miyazono may make Beethoven's Kreutzer sonata "unequivocally her own," but is she really capturing the spirit of the piece in taking so many liberties with it?
Given my own prejudices, I don't know if I can give Your Lie in April a fair shake. I found the artwork clean and expressive, and the dynamic between Arima and his non-musical friend Tsubaki Sawabe true to life. (In contrast to Miyazono, Sawabe is not simply a vehicle for the hero's self-actualization, but a character in her own right.) I also enjoyed the program notes at the end of every chapter–a nice touch for readers who recognize Saint-Saens' name, but can't quite tie him to a specific composition or stylistic period. I'm not sure these small pleasures are enough inducement for me to pick up volume two, but a less fussy music lover might well enjoy this coming-of-age drama.
Reviews: Bust out your handkerchief–the final installment of House of 1000 Manga has been posted! Jason Thompson takes a few minutes to reflect on the column, list his ten favorite manga, and discuss what he'll be doing next. Like many of ANN's regular readers, I will miss House of 1000 Manga dearly; Shaenon and Jason did a terrific job of sharing their knowledge of and enthusiasm for manga with readers in a consummately effortless style.

Solstice arrests at Stonehenge
- From: AAP
- June 30, 2014
AN estimated 36,000 people in the UK have seen the sun rise at Stonehenge on the longest day in the northern hemisphere, with 25 arrested, largely for drugs-related offences.
THE summer solstice has a long tradition of attracting people to monuments such as Stonehenge, where latter-day Druids gather to witness the sun rising on the longest day."We are pleased that the solstice celebrations at Stonehenge and Avebury have been enjoyable events for the majority of people attending," a police spokesman said. "There were 25 arrests at Stonehenge and two at Avebury which were mainly for drug-related offences. "This year we estimate 36,000 people visited the stones throughout the night. There is always a small proportion of people who will try to break the law but I am satisfied that this was a successful policing operation."

Miami Heat slowing it down, still winning
Dec 27, 2010, 11:07 PM EDT
There has been a stylistic debate about the Heat this season — should they run more or slow it down?
Frankly Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are fearsome both in transition and in the half court, but what works best for the team? I was in the camp that with the Heat's pressure defense they should use that to create transition opportunities, easy fast break points where their tremendous athletes are unstoppable. And their eight-game winning streak came while running more.
But traditionally, good defensive teams (and the Heat are currently the second best defensive team in the league) want to slow the tempo down — if you can stop a team and give them fewer chances you can control the game.
That is what the Heat have done lately, notes Tom Haberstroh at ESPN's Heat Index in a fantastic breakdown of the Heat's transition offense.
Ending with the Kings win (Dec. 11), the Heat's transition rate (percentage of offense generated from transition) had averaged 17.2 percent in their previous eight games, according to Synergy data. But the Heat have eased off the accelerator in their most recent five games, averaging just 11.5 percent with a season-low of 8.2 percent mark in Los Angeles. For perspective, the league average transition rate stands at 12.5 percent — or every eight possessions.
But the change of pace hasn't slowed them down in the win column. After beating the normally high-octane Phoenix Suns by 12 points, the Heat methodically dismantled the Lakers 96-80 with just four points coming on fast breaks. And it wasn't from lack of opportunities, as the Heat caused 12 turnovers while pulling down 39 defensive rebounds on the day.
Against the Lakers, the Heat's three stars were all patient, passing up good shots for better ones later in the possession. As Haberstroh notes, that was not a luxury any of them had on their previous teams, where any kind of decent look for them was the best chance the team had to score. The Heat are adjusting.
What should be scaring teams around the league is this shows how versatile the Heat really are — if you try to run on them they can beat you that way; if you try to slow it down and grind it out they beat you that way. They drain a lot of the long-twos that every team tries to force other teams to take.
There are questions about matchups against long front lines and good defensive teams, questions that will not be answered until deep in the playoffs. But in the regular season, the Heat are winning at whatever pace they feel like playing at. And they look like the force everyone expected them to be.
- hnirobert3 - Dec 28, 2010 at 8:02 AM
Wait, so what you're saying is they're getting better and more efficient as they're getting used to playing with each other? Huh? I thought LBJ and Wade played the same type of game and there was no way this would work. Huh? What?

Roy Halladay allowed two runs over 4 1-3 innings in his first big league spring training appearance in 11 days, prepping for the regular season in the Philadelphia Phillies' 7-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. The two-time Cy Young Award winner had not pitched in a major league game since March 17, when he came out of a start against Baltimore after one inning due to a stomach virus. He pitched in a minor league exhibition last Saturday. Against the Blue Jays, he gave up eight hits and two walks and struck out two. Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind hit consecutive RBI singles in the third. Toronto starter Brandon Morrow gave up three runs - two earned - and six hits in seven innings.

I put everything in the pot and put it on the burner and boil for 6 to 8 min. and put it in the large pot, but I have a hard time feeling that i need to stir it or something. I have never cooked something like this and not had to stir and stir, watch it cook and so on. You just keep looking at the pot and wonder how it is doing in there. I have cooked things in there and 12 hours later it is still 140 degrees. It is just amazing. I will come back when I find more things to cook in my Thermal Cooker.
Great thermal pot
Mimi from Silver Spring, MD – Verified Buyer
I love this pot. It saves me time and energy. Just wish there is a bigger size and the inner pot is thicker.
Save time and electricity
Coastal Cook from Portland, ME – Verified Buyer
I'm very pleased with this thermal cooker. It works just like it promises to work and saves me time and energy in the kitchen. I really like that it has two inner (one large and one small) pots. I've also used it effectively to keep items cool on a picnic. Thermal cooking has also opened up new and healthy recipes for me such as using more grains like wheat berries and lentils that I previously avoided making at home due to the length of time involved. The manufacturer/distributor seems to be Chinese (Taiwanese?), so the enclosed instruction brochure was created for Chinese cooks and translated into English. Don't be put off by the menu items listed for Chinese cooks, although they may seem bizarre to those of us in the West. The brief instructions are really about how to use the pot, and even for Chinese cooks, no recipes are included. I highly recommend this product.
Versatile cooker
PN from Chesterfield, MO – Verified Buyer
Love this cooker. Cooks fast, keeps the food warm for hours. Several friends have bought the same cooker after seeing it.
Keep the temperature well
Rachel Zhang from Austin, TX – Verified Buyer
I have had it for 3 years. It works great to keep the temperature, either hot or cold. However, the inner container is not a good cookware on stove. I prefer to cook with other pots, then transport food to this thermal cooker to continue.
Thermal Cooker
Donna Y from New Hampshire
This is an excellent product! A crock-pot without an electrical cord. Gives the cook a lot more free time. Makes the best soups too! YouTube has lots of recipes you can use in the thermal cooker.
Think "Giant Thermos"
Swim team mom from Fremont, CA – Verified Buyer
You need to think of this item as a giant thermos (we haven't used it as a cooker). It is great for taking food to the kids sporting events, like swim meets, where you're there for a long time and want something warm to eat. You can use the large pot alone, or use the stacked larger and smaller pot to bring 2 items (like rice in the top one and chili in the bottom). It would also be great for tailgating or potlucks where you want to keep things warm, but don't have facilities to plug something in.
Great product
Cindy from Oshkosh, WI – Verified Buyer
This product is great because when you are going to a pot luck or in my case a party outside, you don't have to worry about reheating your meal when you get there. It works just as described! I have passed on the info about this product to many others!
Would be better with a vacuum seal
crew mom from pa – Verified Buyer
This is really a great product for taking hot items to outdoor soccer or crew races. However, it was difficult to transport since there was no vaccuum seal like a true thermos.
Great product
Trailrider from Texas – Verified Buyer
Will be using this for warm lunches on week-long trail ride
OUR SKU # SPT108825-Cup Thermal Cooker is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: ST-60B

Blog: Craft distillers of the world unite...
James Wilmore | 16 April 2013
Craft distillers are getting evermore serious and getting together.
Trade groups exclusively representing craft producers' interests exist both sides of the Atlantic, with a new body having just popped up.
The American Craft Distillers Association has been formed this month to "promote and protect craft distilling in the United States", Modern Distillery Age reported in its latest issue. This is in addition to the American Distilling Institute, which has already existed for ten years, and claims to be the voice of "artisan distilling".
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Craft Distillers' Alliance has just appointed a chairman - Stephen Davies, MD of Welsh whisky distillery Penderyn. The group was set-up last year by whisk(e)y writer Dominic Roskrow and already numbers around 30 members.
We'll just have to see if any finger-pointing crops up over what constitutes a "craft" product, as is the case in the brewing world right now.
