The system of the present application includes a battery structure, a control board, a charging port, a switch, and a light. The battery structure is configured to provide a source of power to illuminate the light. The switch controls the passage of power to the lights and is configured to optionally regulate a pattern of illumination. The charging port is configured to allow for the recharging of the battery structure. The control board is configured to regulate the communication of the switch to the light. The system is configured to provide a method of illuminating an area about the user. The system permits for the selective recharging of the power supply. The system is configured to permit optional remote control capabilities to allow a user to adjust, manipulate, and control one or more features of the lighting system from a device remote from the shoe.

Rechargeable illuminating shoes

Oxygen scavenging materials incorporated into or attached to a package such as a gable-top or rectangular carton, used to package foods, beverages or other oxygen sensitive materials, and thereby increase shelf-life by decreasing oxygen in the headspace of the package, and decreasing oxidation of the packaged product.

Oxygen scavenging packaging

A family of polymers containing selected cyclic allylic pendent groups for oxygen scavenging packaging which has minimal organoleptic by-products after oxidation.

An oxygen scavenging composition or system is provided comprising an oxygen scavenging material, a photoinitiator, and at least one catalyst effective in catalyzing an oxygen scavenging reaction, wherein the photoinitiator comprises a benzophenone derivative containing at least two benzophenone moieties. A film, a multi-phase composition, a multi-layer composition, a multi-layer film, an article comprising the oxygen scavenging composition, a method for preparing the oxygen scavenging composition, and a method for scavenging oxygen are also provided. Non-extractable benzophenone derivative photoinitiators and methods for preparing same are also provided.

Photoinitiators and oxygen scavenging compositions

Provided is a system useful for oxygen scavenging which comprises at least two components, i.e., an oxygen scavenging material which forms at least one by-product upon reaction thereof with oxygen, and an effective amount of a neutralizing material capable of neutralizing at least a portion of these by-products. In a preferred application, a multi-layer structure that can be employed in producing packages and in particular food packages, comprises a first layer including an oxygen scavenging material and a second layer which includes a material that is capable of neutralizing at least a portion of the by-products produced by the oxidation of the oxygen scavenging material within the first layer. These two layers are arranged such that, upon formation of the package, the second layer is interior to the first layer. Furthermore, the multi-layer film can include one or more of an oxygen barrier layer, a polymeric selective barrier layer, and a heat-sealable layer.

Oxygen scavenging system including a by-product neutralizing material

A polymer-modified asphalt composition containing (a) about 80 to 99.7 weight percent of a polymer-asphalt reaction product prepared by reacting (i) about 100 parts by weight of an asphalt having an initial viscosity at 60.degree. C. of from 100 to 20,000 poise, with (ii) about 0.5 to 11 parts by weight a glycidyl-containing ethylene copolymer containing about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent glycidyl moieties and having a weight-average molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 1,000,000; and (b) about 0.3 to 20 weight percent of a styrene/conjugated-diene block copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 1,000,000.
