CopDots help keep tabs on property
For a city recently ranked fourth in the nation for car thefts, calling property crime a hot-button issue might be an understatement.
Brent McLaws' technology company, with its U.S. headquarters in the Hillyard neighborhood, is looking to curb the numbers.
DataDot Technologies, originally based in Australia, takes the technology used by the gaming industry to mark poker chips and uses it for vehicles. A joint venture of the company and its marketing partner is producing CopDots, further adapting the technology for individual consumers.
Similar to putting a microchip in a pet, CopDots allow owners to add inconspicuous identifiers to vehicles and personal items.
To mark an entire vehicle with the identifying dots costs between $200 to $500. The half-millimeter dots are applied using a spray can for full coverage. That application method is sold to vehicle manufacturers.
A package of 50 single CopDots applications costs about $30 and comes in a tube about the size of a penlight.
"This enables the consumer, the citizen, to be able to protect their own property individually without the same expense," CopDots business developer Michael Whetstone said.
The dots do not have GPS capabilities, but rather a unique number code that can be traced to its owner. An adhesive attaches the dots to the item; the adhesive shows up under a black light so law enforcement can find the dots.
Whetstone said a criminal could take the time to use a black light to find the adhesive and pick off all the dots, but it takes time and it would be easy to miss one. In Australia, he said, the dots are just as much a deterrent as they are an identity marker.
When law enforcement or a pawn shop recovers a marked item, a quick scan with a black light finds the CopDots, and a scanner, provided to police departments by the CopDots company, magnifies the code on a computer screen for identification.
When consumers buy CopDots, they register their property on the company's website and can report it stolen through the site as well as to law enforcement.
They aren't yet for sale in Eastern Washington, however, as the technology requires a partnership with local law enforcement.
Whetstone said the company is currently in the process of marketing the product locally but has had success in Western Washington and Florida, where it is available at Lowe's home stores.
Spokane police spokeswoman Monique Cotton said the department is aware of the CopDots program, but because the technology is new – the company's consumer sales side opened last year – the agency has not committed to using it.
Cotton added the department is willing to look at all opportunities to reduce crime, which could include CopDots.
McLaws said the concept has taken off on other continents because the country or region as a whole got on board with the program.
"In Australia, there's strong government backing," McLaws said. "The government supports the police department and provides the necessary direction to say, 'Cars have to be marked with something.' "
Whetstone said the technology has benefited consumers who can both deter criminals from stealing their items and can more easily recover them, as well as the police departments that are able to return stolen goods to their rightful owners.
"It's new, I think it's smart, I think it's cost-effective," Whetstone said. "It's brought the people and the cops together."

A Wolf at the Table is the story of Augusten's relationship with his father, John Robison, Sr., a man only briefly touched upon in Running With Scissors. Told with shocking honesty and penetrating insight, A Wolf at the Table is more than the companion volume to Running with Scissors - it's a story of stunning psychological cruelty and the redemptive power of hope.
Featuring exclusive, all new original songs by Patti Smith, Sea Wolf, Ingrid Michaelson, and Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara.
Listen to Running with Scissors.
©2008 Island Road, LLC (P)2008 Macmillan Audio
"There are books that were born for bells and whistles, and Augusten Burroughs's A Wolf at the Table is one....This fifth memoir of abuse and excess is read, bleated, rumbled and, at times, tearfully shouted by the author himself. The audio book...breaks new ground by presenting four songs written expressly for the production." (The Washington Post)
"Intense, sincere, and passionate, Burroughs offers a deeply felt, intimate portrait of the most disastrous period in his life. He holds nothing back, and in fully giving voice to his emotions, he makes each moment immediate for the listener." (AudioFile)
"odd narration..."
It's right in the middle. I like Burroughs and his work in general
The story was shocking and sad. But it gives great insight to the author, his writing and his style of humor.
I have listened to almost all of his books
What I didn't like about the book was the tone the author used to read throughout the story. It was odd coming from an author who seems so at ease and casual in other readings. His voice, the speed, the tone did nothing to enhance the story.
"Not what i expected but worth my money."
This is extremely different than Burroughs other books-It's not comedic, its more drama. Its extremely heart felt. It really feels like he pours his heart out in this book. Also listen to the whole thing, after he plays a song at the end he has an outro that explains why the songs are there, and it may have you listen to the songs differently than you had at first. If you're looking for a comedy, this is not it. Very well written, at time i was unsure of weather I liked the audio and how it was read at time, but over all it grew on me and I enjoyed it very much. I definately reccomend this.
"Wolf at the table"
I have read Dry and Running with... I just could get past the 2nd chapter. Too dark for me.
"is this a children's book?"
I've listened to all his other books and enjoyed them, he reads this one as if to 5 year olds, not just slow, which it is, but with a funny rising emphasis at the end of each sentence. It is very annoying.
"Stick to writing and stop narrating"
Like all of Augusten Burroughs's other writings, this one is good, if a little on the dark side (a little to the darker, sadder side than even Running With Scissors).
This one is narrated by the author, and while he sounds fine, he... reads... so... slowly. It made me wish for a button on my iPod that would speed things up just a bit. Could have been a single file download instead of two if he'd just read at a bit faster clip.
wolf at the table sounds false. not funny.
I was a high school history teacher and a physician assistant-retired.
"Move to Another Table"
Augustin Burroughs' account of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his father is heart wrenching: No child should have to live with an ogre. The listener, however, should not have to listen to Burroughs' highly emotive narration that got in the way of the story. The first two hours were uninteresting because Burroughs was too young to remember much and what he did remember wasn't a bit fascinating. There is no let up in intensity; it's a straight line of horror without any relief.
The two stars are for the attempt at including four songs, only one of which was listenable.
Read "Running With Scissors" to get a feel for how good Burroughs can be.
"Time to move on..."
It's been a week since I listened to Augusten Burroughs' A Wolf at the Table and the first word that still comes to mind is: painful. I have read and enjoyed all of Burroughs other books, each modulating the sadness with his good humor and slick writing style. But this book is painful in every aspect: The story, the writing, the narration and the production. The essence of this story is so horribly sad and, as the father of a 2 year old boy, pretty sickening. Other than to shed his own hurt and pain, I have no idea why he thought this book needed writing. The narration is glacial and self important, the "atmospherics" are distracting and the music is, well, horrible. The whole production is utterly self-indulgent in absolutely every way. Mr. Burroughs is an excellent writer who can be so thoughtful while telling a difficult story in a light and funny style. I think he needs to say goodbye to his family and move on to other, less destructive topics.

Brewers hand Dodgers 3-2 loss
THE GAME: All of the runs were scored in the fourth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Dodgers, 3-2, Monday afternoon. The Dodgers are now 6-7-3 in Cactus League games this spring.
PITCHING REPORT: With Zack Greinke scratched, Hyun-Jin Ryu made the start and was very good for the first three innings before giving up three runs on three hits (including a triple off the center field wall), a walk and a wild pitch in the fourth. He retired the first two batters in the fifth inning before calling it a day.
HITTING REPORT: Cuban prospect Yasiel Puig continues to impress. He was 2 for 2 with a pair of singles and is now batting .452 this spring. A.J. Ellis and Mark Ellis each had two hits including a double.
BUNT REPORT: The Korean professional league uses the DH. So Monday was the first time Ryu batted in a game situation since he was in high school eight years ago. He took three pitches for a strikeout in his first at-bat ("I thought those pitches were low," he said with a grin later) then laid down a successful sacrifice bunt in his second plate appearance.
UP NEXT: Dodgers (Josh Beckett, Ted Lilly) vs. Cincinnati Reds (Mat Latos) in Goodyear, 7:05 p.m. PT.

We are seeing more and more Enterprises deploying OpenStack Swift as an enterprise wide object storage platform. After that, they are looking for a sync and share solution that they can self-host and self-deploy, side by side with their OpenStack Swift solution.
This article documents a quick and easy setup of Gladinet Cloud Enterprise as the enterprise sync and share solution on top of OpenStack Swift.
Step 1: OpenStack Swift as the Storage Layer
First the enterprise need to have a storage layer. Most likely they will use OpenStack Swift. It can start with a simple 4-nodes or 6-nodes setup and scale to bigger size later on.
The OpenStack Swift can have either private API access or public API access. Either one is fine.
Step 2: Install Gladinet Cloud Enterprise
The second step will be install Gladinet Cloud Enterprise, where the Gladinet Cloud Enterprise servers can access the OpenStack Swift via API access.
For more information, please visit the Gladinet OpenStack Swift page.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

According to Severe Weather Expert Henry Margusity, "As an upper-level disturbance associated with the storms system lifts northward the right conditions could develop to produce a few thunderstorms with high wind gusts, hail and even a short-lived tornado."
The violent storm risk area extends from eastern Kentucky to much of West Virginia and central and southern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania during Tuesday.
Cities that could be impacted by the storms include Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio; Lexington and London, Ky.; Charleston, Huntington and Morgantown, W.Va.; and Pittsburgh, Pa.
Key to the potential of the storms is how much daytime warming occurs.
"If these areas remain cloudy much of the day, there may not be enough energy and rising air to get severe thunderstorms going," Margusity said. "Provided the storms do develop, atmospheric conditions indicate a fair amount of wind shear, which can lead to damaging wind gusts and perhaps a couple of tornadoes."
Because of cloud-cover issues, an large outbreak of severe weather is not expected, but rather only isolated severe storms.
Some of the storms bringing the severe weather may not have a great deal of lightning strikes associated with them and may sneak up on some locations as a result.
Other thunderstorms will affect the Atlantic Seaboard during Tuesday and a couple of these storms could be heavy and gusty in the I-95 swath from Florida to New York and part of the I-81 corridor farther west.
By heavy and gusty we mean there is not only the potential for damaging wind gusts, but also incidents of flash and urban flooding.
"These areas will be the warmest within the storm system's reach, but the main wind energy will be directed northward toward the upper Ohio Valley, rather than toward the East Coast," Margusity added.
While the storm system is weakening, it will have enough energy and moisture to bring areas of rain into the Northeast into Wednesday.
Four people in Florida are likely the first in the United States to contract the Zika virus by local mosquitoes, officials said Friday.
Rounds of drenching showers and thunderstorms will heighten the risk of flash flooding across the northeastern United States through the final weekend of July.
Rounds of showers and thunderstorms moving westward off the coast of Africa may pave the way for future tropical systems over the Atlantic Ocean in the weeks ahead.
The Formula One race in Hockenheim, Germany, this weekend could become the third consecutive race to be disrupted by showers and thunderstorms.
Additional downpours are likely to roll across northern New Jersey and could suspend play during the late rounds at the 98th PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club this weekend.
Tropical Depression 06w threatens to bring flooding rain to the Philippines into this weekend with potential future impacts on China and Taiwan.
Colorado Springs, Colorado (1978)
A freak thunderstorm dropped damaging hail to a depth of 2 feet. Much of it had to be plowed from the freeway.
Pennsylvania ()
July 29th is historically a rainy day in Waynesburg, PA. It all began in 1878 when a farmer casually told drug store clerk William Allison that it always seemed to rain on July 29th in this southwestern PA town. The clerk made a note of it and started keeping a yearly tabulation. July 29th, 2001 was the 104th rainfall in the past 124 years on this date.
Mt. Washington, NH (1989)
34 degrees with a 45-mph wind gust (minus 6 degrees wind chill temperature).

Has anyone winter sowed Ladybells (Adenophora lilifolia)?
Celene Columbus, OH Jan 20, 2010
I'm trying some, but I have no previous experience with these. They're supposed to reseed easily here, so that leads me to believe it'll be okay.
CLScott Calgary, Canada Jan 20, 2010
Thanks---if they reseed in Ohio then they likely will be a good winter sow.
Thanks, Celene.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 695,016 filed Jan. 25, 1985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,616,044.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to laminates of a substrate and polyether urethane foam, and particularly to such laminates that are produced by heat sealing. More particularly, the invention relates to urethane foam laminates wherein the urethane foam is treated with a phosphorus-containing additive.
2. Related Information
In the preparation of many articles which employ flexible polyurethane foams, it is necessary to form an adhesive bond between the foam and a substrate such as wood, a fabric, a metal and organic plastic, etc. Heat sealing is a useful process for adhering a polyurethane foam to a substrate. In this process, the surface of a foam is heated to form a layer of tacky liquid, after which the substrate is applied to the fused surface of the foam to form a laminate. When the layer of tacky liquid cools and resolidifies, the resulting bond between the polyurethane foam and the substrate is frequently as strong or stronger than the strength of the original polyurethane foam. Heretofore, only polyester-type urethane foams were laminatable in this manner. The less expensive polyether-type urethane forms could not be heat sealed because the fused surface layer would not resolidify.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,205,120 [Flanders, Sept. 7, 1965] discloses heat sealed urethane foam laminates that are prepared from the less expensive polyether urethane foam. This patent discloses that in an otherwise conventional commercial polyether flexible urethane foam reaction mixture, a minor amount of a low molecular weight polyol selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyalkylene polyol, a hydroxyaliphatic ester of a phosphorus-containing acid and a hydroxyl-containing natural oil was included.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,497,416 [Critchfield et al., Feb. 24, 1970] discloses heat sealed urethane foam laminates prepared from polyether-based urethane foam. The urethane foam comprises the reaction product of a polyether polyol and polyisocyanate prepared by reacting dipropylene glycol or dibutylene glycol with an excess of an aromatic polyisocyanate. This patent identifies certain processing difficulties encountered in the production of polyether urethane foams as disclosed in Flanders that are caused by the high reactivity of the polyether polyol mixture used.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,131,105 [Codos, Apr. 28, 1964] discloses a method for forming a laminated structure by applying onto the surface of a polyurethane foam, a coating of an inflammable substance which when ignited will plasticize said surface, igniting said coating to plasticize the surface and then applying with pressure a layer of material with which the plasticized surface will form a bond onto the plasticized surface while the surface is soft and tacky. This method is useful for both polyesters and polyether urethane foams, however, it does not disclose the use of any additives within these foams.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,142,650 [Friedman, July 28, 1964] discloses the preparation of polyurethanes from phosphite esters containing available secondary hydroxyl groups, for example a tris-polypropylene glycol phosphite. This patent does not disclose heat sealable polyether urethane foam laminates.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,142,651 [Friedman, July 28, 1964] discloses the preparation of polyurethanes from phosphite esters containing available hydroxyl groups, preferably secondary hydroxyl groups. The patent also discloses the preparation of polyurethanes from the corresponding thiophosphate esters, phosphate esters and certain phosphonates. This patent does not disclose heat sealable polyether urethane foam laminates.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,135,042 [Lickei et al., Jan. 16, 1979] discloses the use of phosphites as scorch inhibitors in polyurethane foams containing halogenated phosphate polyester additives. Again this patent does not disclose heat sealable polyether urethane foam laminates.
This invention is a heat laminatable polyether urethane foam composition which comprises at least one organophosphorus additive said additive being effective to impart heat laminatable properties to the resulting foam. The organophosphorus additive can be an organophosphite, an organophosphonate, and an organophosphate. The organophosphite can be selected from the group consisting of diphosphites, pentaerythritol diphosphites, alkyl phosphites and aryl phosphites. The composition can further comprise an halogenated flame retardant. This urethane foam composition can be used to prepare a laminated structure which comprises at least one layer of the resulting flexible polyether urethane foam heat sealed to a substrate.
An object of this invention is to provide laminated structures having at least one layer comprising a flexible polyether urethane foam that is heat sealable to a substrate without encountering the processing difficulties encountered in the production of the Flanders polyether urethane foam that are caused by the high reactivity of the polyether polyol mixture and without being limited to the reaction scheme of Critchfield which involves using aromatic isocyanates pre-reacted with diols.
A further object of this invention is to provide flame laminatable polyether urethane foams using hydroxyl and non-hydroxyl-containing organophosphorus compounds such as organophosphites, organo-phosphonates and organophosphates while using the conventional one shot technique without encountering processing difficulties.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention are described elsewhere within this specification.
It has been found that urethane foam laminates having outstanding properties can be produced by heat sealing a substrate onto a particular urethane foam, fully described below. The laminates produced in accordance with this invention are produced from polyether-based urethane foam rather than from the more expensive polyester-based urethane foam.
The urethane foams that are employed in this invention can be prepared by conventional polyurethane flexible, foam-forming technology. Polyurethane foams, according to this invention, having a density of from about 16 to about 48 kilograms per cubic meter are prepared by known methods, such as the prepolymer, quasi-polymer, or one shot systems. Foams can be prepared by batch or continuous processes. The foam-forming mixtures should include as basic ingredients: (A) polyether polyol, (B) organic isocyanate, (C) blowing agent, (D) polyurethane catalyst, (E) surfactant, and (F) at least one organophosphorus additive effective to impart heat laminatable properties.
The polyether polyol ingredient (A) for the polyurethane foam composition of this invention can be selected from any of the wide variety of polyhydric polyether compounds available and conventionally used by the art for the preparation of flexible ether-type polyurethane foams. The most common polyether polyol compounds, the polyoxyalkylene polyether polyols, are generally prepared by the reaction of an alkylene oxide, such as 1,2-propylene oxide, with a polyhydric initiator or starter. The polyhydric initiator or starter can be, e.g., glycerol, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, triethanolamine or a polyethylene glycol.
The alkylene oxides used in preparing the polyethers preferably are those which contain from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g., ethylene oxide, 1,2-propylene oxide, 1,2-butylene oxide, trimethylene oxide and tetramethylene oxide. Also useful are the poly-(aralkylene ether)polyols which are derived from the corresponding aralkylene oxides such as, e.g., styrene oxide, alone or mixed with an alkylene oxide. Generally, propylene oxide, that is, the 1,2-propylene oxide, and mixtures of 1,2-propylene oxide with ethylene oxide are preferred for the preparation of the polyether polyol reactant. Also useful as polyols in the practice of this invention are the so-called graft polymers, that is, polyether polyols which have been modified with acrylonitrile and/or styrene in such a way that some is grafted onto the backbone of the polyether polyol (but not on the functional, hydroxyl group) and some is present as a polymer dispersed in the polyol.
The polyethers used in the present invention preferably have molecular weights of from about 2,000 to about 6,000 and optimally from about 3,000 to about 4,500 and an average hydroxy functionality of from about 2 to about 3. There are several commercially available examples of these polyethers. One example is Niax� 16-56 brand polyether polyol, a product of Union Carbide Corporation.
The organic polyisocyanate ingredient (B) of the foam-forming process can be selected from conventional isocyanates used for such purposes. Preferably the isocyanate has an isocyanate functionality of from 2 to 3. Useful isocyanates include aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, heterocyclic types and mixtures thereof. Suitable organic isocyanates include toluene diisocyanate and phenylene diisocyanates, with toluene diisocyanate being preferred because of cost and availability.
The blowing agent (C) ingredient can comprise water alone or water in combination with other conventional blowing agents, such as methylene chloride, or hydrocarbons or fluorocarbons having a boiling point from about -30� C. to 60� C.
The polyurethane catalyst ingredient (D) can be selected from conventional materials. Suitable catalysts include amines such as tertiary amines and metal compounds such as stannous octoate, dibutylin dilaurate, etc.
The surfactant ingredient (E) employed in the process of this invention can be selected from surfactants conventionally used for such purposes. Although a variety of surfactants are operative in this invention, it has been found that particularly desirable uniform cell structure and appearance can be given to the foam if a silicone surfactant is used, e.g., Union Carbide Corporation™ L5810 and L5740 nonhydrolyzable silicone surfactants.
The polyether urethane foam composition of this invention is rendered heat laminatable by the inclusion of at least one organophosphorus additive (F), said additive being effective to impart heat laminatable properties. This organophosphorus additive is derived from phosphorus containing acids, for example, organophosphites derived from phosphorous acid, organophosphonates derived from phosphonic acid, and organophosphates derived from phosphoric acid.
Suitable organophosphites can include diphosphites, pentaerythritol diphosphites, alkyl phosphites, aryl phosphites, and other phosphites.
Suitable diphosphites are of the general formula: ##STR1## Where R is selected independently each time it occurs from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive and preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive; and haloalkyl having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive and preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive. Where R is an haloalkyl, the chloroalkyl is preferred.
Suitable pentaerythritol diphosphites are of the general formula: ##STR2## where R1 is selected independently each time it occurs from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms inclusive and preferably having 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive; and phenyl and substituted phenyl wherein the substituents are selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Some preferred examples include diisodecyl pentaerythritol disphosphite where R1 is alkyl having 10 carbon atoms; distearyl pentaerythritol disphosphite where R1 is alkyl having 18 carbon atoms; and bis(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol disphosphite.
Suitable alkyl phosphites are of the general formula (R2 O)3 P where R2 is selected independently each time it occurs from alkyl having 1 to 20 carbon atoms inclusive and preferably 3 to 18 carbon atoms inclusive. Some preferred examples include triisodecyl phosphite, triisoctyl phosphite, trilauryl phosphite and tristearyl phosphite.
Suitable aryl phosphites are of the general formula (R3 O)3 P where R3 is selected independently each time it occurs from the group consisting of aryl and substituted aryl wherein the substituents are alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive; and alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive. Some preferred examples include triphenyl phosphite, alkyl derivatives of triphenyl phosphite, diphenyl isodecyl phosphite, phenyl diisodecyl phosphite, diphenyl isooctyl phosphite and octyl diphenyl phosphite.
Another suitable phosphite can include tri(betachloroethyl)phosphite (FYROL� TBCEP brand of Stauffer Chemical Company).
Suitable organophosphonates can include di(polyoxyethylene)hydroxymethyl phosphonate (VICTASTAB� HMP brand flame retardant intermediate of Stauffer Chemical Company), diisopropyl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethyl phosphonate (FYROL� 7 brand flame retardant of Stauffer Chemical Company), diethyl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethyl phosphonate (FYROL� 6 brand flame retardant of Stauffer Chemical Company), diisopropyl-N,morpholineaminomethyl phosphonate (FYROL� 7M brand flame retardant of Stauffer Chemical Company) and bis(beta-chloroehtyl)betachloroethyl phosphonate (FYROL� BBCEP brand flame retardant of Stauffer Chemical Company). The first three phosphonates listed immediately above all contain hydroxyl groups, however these phosphonates, like the others, are useful in imparting heat laminatable properties to the polyether urethane foam compositions of this invention and are not used herein as the reactive ingredient polyol source as used in the Flanders patent discussed above.
Suitable organophosphates are of the general formula (R4 O)3 P=O where R4 is selected independently each time it occurs from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive and preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms inclusive; and alkoxy alkyl with the alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Some preferred examples include tributyl phosphate and tributoxy ethyl phosphate.
The organophosphorus additive of this invention must include at least one of the above described additives and mixtures of these additives can be used.
The flame laminatable polyether urethane foam composition of this process can further comprise a halogenated flame retardant. The use of such a flame retardant appears to serve as a processing aid with certain observable improvements in the process of making flame laminatable foams, e.g., control of the rate of adhesive formed during flame lamination. The addition of the halogenated flame retardant by itself, without the inclusion of at least one of the other additives described above, will not render the foam heat laminatable but appears to act as a processing aid and/or controller when used with the above described additives. The halogenated flame retardant ingredient used in the compositions and processes of this inventon can be selected from conventional polyurethane flame retardant agents. The term "halogenated flame retardant" as used in the context of this invention includes halogenated hydrocarbons and halogenated organophosphorus compounds.
Suitable halogenated flame retardants are, e.g., tris(1,3-dichloropropyl)phosphate, tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate, dichloromethylene-bis(di-2-chloroethyl)phospate, tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate, tris(2-chloropropyl)phosphate, 2,2-bis-(chloromethyl)-1,3-propylene, bis-di(2-chloroethyl)phosphate, bis(dichloropropyl)tribromoneopentylphosphate, tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)ethylene diphosphate, pentabromodiphenyl oxide, bis(pentabromophenoxy)ethane, bis(tetrabromophthalimide)ethane, tetrabromobisphenol A, hexabromocyclododecane, bis(tribromophenoxy)ethane, octabromodiphenyl oxide, tribromoneopentyl alcohol, chlorinated paraffin, brominated paraffin, and mixtures thereof.
The amount of additive used in the compositions and processes of this invention is an amount sufficient to give the flame laminatable property to the resulting polyether urethane foam. However, amounts ranging from 1 part to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyether polyol can be used, with from 3 parts to 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyether polyol being preferred.
Similarly, the amount of halogenated flame retardant used is an amount effective to enhance the flame laminatable characteristics of the resulting polyether urethane foam. The foam composition can optionally include this halogenated flame retardant. From 5 parts to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyether polyol can be used, with from 5 parts to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyether polyol being preferred.
The additive used in this invention can be a premixed, storage stable composition of matter suitable for addition to a foam-forming reaction system to impart the desired flame laminatable characteristic. When the halogenated flame retardant is included in this mixture, the additional quality of flame retardance is imparted to the resulting product. A variety of optional ingredients can be added to the additive combination. For example, the combination can include the polyether polyol, solvents, diluents, colorants, stabilizers, cell openers, lubricants, biocides, etc. Normally, the isocyanate reactant cannot be included in the mixture. The additive can be used by mixing it in any order with the polyurethane foam-forming ingredients either prior to or at the time of reaction.
A laminated structure has also been discovered which comprises at least one layer of a flexible polyether urethane foam heat sealed to a substrate. This flexible polyether urethane foam is of the composition disclosed above.
The substrates which can be employed include spun, woven, knitted, felted, matted and the like textile fabrics produced from natural and synthetic fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, linen, jute, hemp, sisal, nylon, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, vinylchloride-acrylonitrile copolymer, rayon, polyurethane spandex and the like. Other useful substrates include plastic film prepared from polyvinylchloride, vinylchloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinylidene chloride homopolymers and copolymers, cellophane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and the like. Preferred substrates include fabrics, particularly cotton fabrics, and films produced from vinylchloride polymers (both homopolymers and copolymers).
This invention further contemplates a process for rendering the polyether urethane foam flame laminatable by incorporating therein an effective amount of the additive discussed above. The halogenated flame retardant can also be optionally added. The invention also contemplates the process for producing the laminated structure which comprises heat sealing the substrate to the polyether urethane foam, said foam being produced as described above.
The laminates of this invention can be produced by heating part or all of the surface of the urethane foam described above to a temperature above the fusion temperature of the foam to form a tacky liquid or semi-liquid layer, and thereafter or at the same time with the heating operation, applying the substrate to the tacky surface of the foam and holding in contact therewith while cooling until the surface cools and resolidifies, thereby forming an adhesive bond between the foam and the substrate. The fusion temperature of the foam can vary depending upon the nature and amount of the components therein, but in general can range from about 205� C. to about 316� C. It is generally desirable not to heat the surface of the foam to a temperature higher than about 38� C. above the fusion temperature of the particular foam. In keeping the substrate in contact with the fused surface of the foam until the surface has cooled and resolidified, it is desirable to employ a moderate amount of pressure to maintain the foam and substrate in contact. This pressure can be as low as that resulting from the weight of the foam or the substrate, but is preferably of the order of from about 0.1 to about 100 or more pounds per square inch (metric equivalent).
The heat can be applied to the surface of the foam by any convenient means, for example, a flame, a hot surface such as a "hot plate", infrared heating, and the like. However, this invention is particularly useful in flame lamination.
The laminated structures of this invention are widely useful compositions. For example, the fabric urethane foam laminates are useful in the production of padded clothing, insulation, cushions and the like. The laminates are generally widely useful in the production of cushioning, heat and sound insulation, crash pads and the like.
The following examples describe various embodiments of the invention. Other embodiments will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art from a consideration of this specification or practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the claims which follow the examples.
These examples describe the batch preparation of flexible polyurethane foams by the "one shot" method. The ingredients used and the test results are summarized in Table I.

The foams of Examples 1-10 were each prepared by the same method using the same basic ingredients. The toluene diisocyanate ingredient was added to the mixture of the other ingredients in the formulation. A typical density of the polyether urethane formulation was 1.5 pcf (metric equivalent?)
The resulting foams were sliced into 1/4" (0.635 cm) thick 4"�4" (10.16 cm�10.16 cm) specimens. A bunsen burner, equipped with a wing top and using propane gas, was used as the flaming source. A blue flame was used. The flame was applied to the surface of each foam for a time sufficient to melt the top surface of the foam to provide a liquid. The back of the fabric was then pressed against the melted foam surface with sufficient pressure to ensure good contact. A laminate resulted. This laminate was allowed to cool to room temperature.
The bond strength of the cooled laminate was tested by a tugging attempt to separate the fabric from the foam. The flame laminate bond strength was rated as excellent when the bond strength approached the tensile strength of the original foam.
The foam of Example 1 was the control which did not contain any additives. The foam of Example 2 contained only the halogenated flame retardant. The foam of Example 1 exhibited no bond strength whereas the foam of Example 2 exhibited some bond strength but this was rated as poor. The foam of Example 3 contained both the halogenated flame retardant and diisodecyl pentaerythritol diphosphite and exhibited excellent bond strength.
The foams of Examples 4 to 10 each contained one additive selected from either an organophosphite, and organophosphonate or an organophosphate. These foams all exhibited fair to excellent bond strengths. Generally, the organophosphites were judged to exhibit better bond strength than the organophosphonates, which in turn exhibited better bond strength than the organophosphates.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)— One of Baltimore's youth music groups gets a presidential nod. The sounds of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program have reached the White House.
Gigi Barnett reports it's just received the highest honor for an after-school program.
After school and sometimes on Saturdays, children in the BSO's OrchKids program pick up their instruments and play.
It's practice designed to change their lives.
The OrchKids' symphony sounds have reached ears at the White House.
This week Michelle Obama recognized the music group as one of 12 recipients of the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards.
"This is the highest award that an after-school arts program can receive. So now when someone says, 'Is OrchKids working?' without a doubt it's working, and now we've received that recognition," said Nicholas Cohen, OrchKids spokesman.
More than 750 kids between kindergarten and eighth grades are in OrchKids.
Eighth-grader Joseph Wilkerson is one. Joining was his mom's idea to keep her son out of trouble and focused on school.
"He came up in math a lot. That math was his worst subject. His teachers, they applaud him. He listens," said Muriel Wilkerson, OrchKids parent.
For Joseph, who is tutored by the BSO's percussionists, OrchKids gives him a glimpse of the future.
"It could make me big bucks when I get older," he said.
In addition to the nod from the White House, the OrchKids program also received a $10,000 check.
Next week, the OrchKids program will play with the Ravens' drumline during the halftime show at M&T Bank Stadium.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. have signed a technological collaboration agreement on container carriers
The initiative aims to combine MHI's technological capabilities, as in the development of energy-saving vessels, and Imabari's strong cost competitiveness, in order to establish an advantageous framework for competing in the international shipbuilding market.
By effectively utilizing the shipyards of both companies, together MHI and Imabari will become capable of flexibly accommodating bulk orders - e.g. construction of multiple ships of the same design - thus strengthening and expanding their respective business for high-value-added container carriers.
The three-year collaboration agreement, which can be extended upon discussion, encompasses all container carriers, without setting limitations on container carrying capacity or propulsion systems. Going forward, for business opportunities relating to container carrier construction, the two companies will exhaustively consider the appropriate ship type, propulsion system and other technological features to match the shipowner's needs, and propose the optimum solution.
MHI is recognized as a pioneer in Japan's container carrier construction industry, completing the Hakone-maru, the first Japanese-built container ship, for Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) in 1968. To date MHI has built 147 container carriers in total (including vessels currently under construction).
Imabari Shipbuilding is Japan's largest shipbuilder, both in newbuilding tonnage and shipbuilding sales. The company is one of only a few dedicated shipbuilding companies capable of constructing large-size container carriers.
