The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adhesive composition which allows an alignment mark to be recognized, ensures sufficient solder wettability of a joining section, and is excellent in suppression of void generation. The adhesive composition includes: a high-molecular compound (A); an epoxy compound (B) having a weight average molecular weight of 100 or more and 3,000 or less; and a flux (C); and inorganic particles (D) which have on the surfaces thereof an alkoxysilane having a phenyl group and which have an average, particle diameter of 30 to 200 nm, the flux (C) containing an acid-modified rosin.

A tire composition is disclosed. The composition comprises a rubber component and based on 100 parts by weight (phr) of the rubber component, 50-200 phr of covered silica, with the covered silica comprising silica core and a first resin covering the silica core, wherein the first resin is not chemically bonded to the silica core. The silica core is covered with the first resin by mixing a slurry comprising silica core with a mixture containing the first resin as a solution, an aqueous dispersion; or a solution by dissolving the first resin in a solvent.

The present invention provides novel anionic modified rosin ester resins having a high BRC content, up to 100% BRC. The resins of the present invention are useful as emulsion, dispersion, or solution resins. High BRC content pigment grind vehicles, coatings, and finished inks can be prepared using the resins of the present invention. Advantageously, the finished inks of the present invention have equal to or superior properties compared to current commercially available inks sold as sustainable products, but having little to no BRC content. The present invention represents a significant step towards developing sustainable inks and coatings that are better for the environment.

The current invention relates to a method for producing emulsions using a layer multiplayer comprising the steps of: providing at least two immiscible fluid streams, combining said immiscible fluid streams to a focused total fluid stream, and subsequently carrying out baker's transformations on said total fluid stream, said baker's transformation comprises: (i) stretching and cutting said total fluid stream; (ii) recombining said total fluid stream. The present invention further relates to the use of said method for food grade, polymer, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. The present invention further relates to said food grade, polymer, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

In one exemplary embodiment, an endovascular device may include a hollow shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and sized for insertion into a blood vessel. The endovascular device may also include a control line having a proximal end and a distal end, and extending through the hollow shaft. The endovascular device may also include an actuatable working element located proximate the distal end of the hollow shaft, and configured to receive an actuation force transmitted via the distal end of the control line. The endovascular device may further include an actuator configured to exert the actuation force on the proximal end of the control line, to thereby cause relative movement between the control line and the hollow shaft and to actuate the working element. The hollow shaft may also include a cable formed of a plurality of wound wires and including a proximal segment, at least one transition segment, and a distal segment. The proximal segment, at least one transition segment, and distal segment may include different numbers of wires.
