In the sports of bodysurfing and swimming, hand fins are worn for increased speed, stability, and maneuverability. Each hand fin has an internal compartment for the hand fin to be reliably held and controlled by the user. An upwardly angled, rounded peripheral lip provides lift and prevents pearling when water is flowing at the hand fin from any direction. A concave bottom and rocker creates lift and maneuverability.

Apparatus and method for an improved hand fin

The use of certain tetrazole compounds as fungicides is disclosed wherein said compounds are of the structural formula: wherein:R is selected from the group consisting of phenyl groups of the structural formula: and thienyl groups of the structural formula: andX and Y are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, haloalkyl, halogen, and nitro. Novel compounds wherein X is selected from the group consisting of haloalkyl, halogen, and nitro and Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, haloalkyl, halogen, and nitro are also disclosed.

Tetrazole fungicides

A method for dispensing a substance including the steps of housing the substance in a container in a substantially flowable state; establishing a path in proximity to the substance for movement of the substance from the container; and applying pressure to the substance within the container to force the substance from the container and along the path. An apparatus for dispensing a flowable substance including a container having an interior adapted to receive the flowable substance; an assembly adapted operably to be connected to the container and having a first passage through which the flowable substance is to be dispensed and communicating with the interior of the container through an opening; an assembly defining a second passage communicating with the interior of the container; and a mechanism for individually pressurizing the first and second passages to cause the flowable substance to be forced from the interior of the container through the opening and into the first passage to be dispensed.

Heterocyclic-alkylene guinoxalinyloxyphenoxypropanoate compounds exhibit unexpectedly desirable selective herbicidal activity. Also disclosed are compositions comprising such compounds as well as a method of controlling the growth of undesirable plants employing such compounds.

Heterocyclic-alkylene quinoxalinyloxyphenoxypropanoate herbicides

Heterocyclic-alkylene quinoxalinyloxyphenoxypropanoate compounds exhibit unexpectedly desirable selective herbicidal activity. Also disclosed are compositions comprising such compounds as well as a method of controlling the growth of undesirable plants employing such compounds.

In the sport of bodysurfing, hand fins are worn and reliably held on the surfer's hands. Each hand fin has longer outer and shorter inner rails for better stability and guidance, a keel for straight tracking through a wave, and curved channels for creating more lift and increased speed through the wave. A peripheral lip provides lift even during steering maneuvers.

Bodysurfing and swimming aid

Heterocyclic-alkylene quinoxalinyloxyphenoxypropanoate compounds having the following formula: ##STR1## wherein n, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined in the specification exhibit unexpectedly desirable selective herbicidal activity. Also disclosed are compositions comprising such compounds as well as a method of controlling the growth of undesirable plants employing such compounds.

Herbicidal methods utilizing compounds having the structure ##STR1## wherein: n is 0, 1, 2, or 3;

4-quinoxalinyloxyphenoxyalkylinitrile herbicides

Adhesive tapes comprised of a curable composition comprising: (A) at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene/alphaolefin copolymer, ethylene/alphaolefin/nonconjugated polyene terpolymer, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polyisoprene, polyacrylonitrile, polymethacrylonitrile and polybutadiene, said polymer having a number average molecular weight of between about 500 and about 14,000; (B) an effective amount of curative having an activation temperature of at least about 100.degree. C; and (C) (optionally) a blowing agent possess admirable qualities for use as insulating compositions. Also disclosed are composites comprised of a substrate having cured insulating tape compositions adhered thereto.

Insulating adhesive tape composition and composites thereof

The invention relates to a novel low profile additive (LPA) for uncured polyester resins and the resultant molding compositions. The low profile additive is the reaction product of an ethylene/alphaolefin copolymer with a carboxylic acid or anhydride, to thereby form a non-thermoplastic carboxyl modified polyolefin. The novel LPA is a remarkably effective dimensional stabilizer and has displayed the ability to achieve net expansion in a cured polyester resin molding composition.
