1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a process, and to apparatus for carrying out the process, for curing binders on non-woven reinforcing materials, woven reinforcing materials and combinations thereof during their manufacture, and is more particularly concerned with utilizing directed energy which is focused for reaction on the binders without involving the reinforcing materials to a significant degree.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore, it has been common in the art of manufacturing glass fiber mats, woven materials and other reinforcing materials to apply a binder to both assist in holding the reinforcing material together and promoting a better bond between a matrix resin and the reinforcing material during a subsequent molding process. These binders are usually dry, powder resins, but can be emulsions or liquids. The fiber materials are produced in a conventional manner for the type of construction desired. Normally, the binders are applied to the reinforcements and then subjected to heating, to melt, or dry-before-melt, and sometimes to cure the binders. This process uses significant quantities of energy as the entire mass of reinforcing material needs to be heated to the required melting and/or drying and/or reaction temperatures. The binder can be either unsaturated, cured or staged, depending on application requirements. In this connection, one may refer to U.S. Pat. No. 4,054,713 of Sakaguchi, et al, fully incorporated herein by this reference, particularly to column 4, beginning at line 27.
In conventional systems, many disadvantages are evident such as the large amount of energy required for involving the entire mass of reinforcing material, the size of the ovens required, the time required for heating and cooling and the production of volatiles that must be collected to prevent contamination of the environment.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved mat forming process which is fast, efficient in its energy requirements, and safe from an environmental standpoint.
The above object is achieved, according to the present invention, by providing a process and an apparatus for carrying out the process in which a layer of reinforcing fibers is formed on a traveling web, such as a conveyor belt, binder is applied to coat the layer, for example by spraying or calendaring, the binder-coated layer is compressed to a desired density/thickness ratio, and the binder is cured during compression. The resulting mat is then taken from the web and rolled up.
The binder is selected to be either an ultraviolet energy-curable binder or a microwave energy-curable binder. Accordingly, during curing, the corresponding ultraviolet or microwave energy is applied while the layer is compressed to the desired density/thickness ratio. Here, ultraviolet is considered to be from deep uV (≈200 nm) to visible light (≈450 nm). Combinations of wavelengths may be used to advantage.
As is readily apparent, the process and apparatus of the present invention differs significantly from that heretofore known in the art in that directed energy is used to cure the special binders developed for this process, the binders being sensitive to the directed energy used, either ultraviolet or microwave. The binders can be cured on the fiber with directed energy without involving the mass of fibers in the energy of reaction. The binders are typically oligomers, unsaturated polyesters, epoxides, polyacrylics, polyurethanes, and the like. When cured in accordance with the present invention, the binders have unsaturated sites available for subsequent bonding with matrix resins in molding processes. Using the process of the present invention, the reinforcing material is primarily passive to the activation energy. The reaction takes place without involving the reinforcing materials since the activation energy is targeted only at the binder. The binders perform the same functions as in the conventional manufacturing systems, but can be cured much more rapidly, with significantly less energy and without producing significant volatiles that have to be collected to prevent contamination of the environment. Because there is little or no need to collect the volatiles driven off by heat, there is little or no need for make-up air and little or no need for make-up heat, thereby saving energy and thereby substantially avoiding contamination of the environment.
As mentioned, the directed-energy source can be either ultraviolet light energy or microwave energy as in my co-pending applications, U.S. Ser. No. 446,859 filed Dec. 6, 1989, U.S. Ser. No. 552,253 filed Jul. 12, 1990, and U.S. Ser. No. 609,420, filed Nov. 5, 1990, all relating to the production of three-dimensional preforms using ultraviolet or microwave energy-curable binders and corresponding ultraviolet or microwave energy sources for curing. Contrary to the aforementioned applications, which disclose stepped processes, the present process is continuous.
In the present invention, the preferred energy is ultraviolet light energy due to cost, speed and efficiency. Since the binders are liquid, they do not need to be carried in water to be sprayed. Residual moisture in the reinforcing fibers has long been proven as a cause for reduction of physical and electrical properties with some matrix resins. Because there is no water in the system, there is no required drying and the just-mentioned problem is overcome. Curing by directed energy provides the necessary stiffness and material handling characteristics.
For simplicity, the following description is primarily concerned with non-woven mats, since any process benefits are applicable to any woven reinforcements where binders are used.
Fiber mats come in two general categories, discontinuous fibers called chopped strand mat and continuous fibers generally called continuous strand mat. There are many styles to each of these types of mats. In the process of the present invention, the fiber mats are prepared in the normal manner by the manufacturer, i.e. as a layer of fibers deposited on a moving web, as disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,054,713. The mats are prepared on a continuous web or belt and, upon completion of the layer formation, a binder is applied, typically by spraying, or it can be calendared. This is not a filling or impregnating step. The binder is applied in a range of 2.0-10.0 weight percent, typically in the range of 3.0-7.0 weight percent. After application of the binder, a residence time to allow some wetting of the fibers can be provided by a transport distance to the compression and curing section of the production line.

It is usually desirable to compress the layers to achieve the proper density/thickness ratio. In the process of the present invention, the layers are compressed in stages and held in compression during staged curing. There are several techniques available for achieving the desired density/thickness ratio by compression using rollers or continuous belts or combinations thereof. For the present application, the method chosen will be determined by the directed energy system employed and the type and style of mats being manufactured.
When using ultraviolet light as the curing energy, light can be applied in several different ways: through a web or continuous belt, between rollers over the belt or web, through the rollers and through the openings between rollers. When the light source is to be contained in the rollers and the light transmitted through the rollers, the rollers can be made of porous metal screen that will allow light transmission or that they can be made of an ultraviolet-transparent material, such as ultraviolet-transparent acrylic or of an ultraviolet-transparent glass or quartz. The belt or web can be made of a porous flexible metal screen that will permit light transmission or it can be made of an ultraviolet-transparent polymer belt or web, such as ultraviolet-transparent polyethylene, ultraviolet-transparent acrylic or ultraviolet-transparent polyvinylchloride. Transparency is relative to the portion of the spectrum in which one is operating. An ultraviolet transparent film can be employed as the web which would also act to keep the uncured binders from the surfaces of the rollers or belts, if desired. It would also keep the potentially-abrasive glass materials from wearing out the surfaces of the transport system. If desired, the ultraviolet-transparent film can be left with the product as a layer separator in the rolls. A further use of this film then can be as a vacuum seal if desired in subsequent cutting or forming applications, such as in my aforementioned preform applications.
The film can also be used as a release film during preforming processes of the type referenced above, when applicable or desired.
The ultraviolet-transparent film can also be continuously stripped off prior to rolling the mats and returned up the line to be used as a continuous web. Ultraviolet-transparent polyethylene is particularly suitable for this purpose in that it has excellent release characteristics, is inexpensive and is produced in a variety of thicknesses.
When using microwave energy as the directed energy source, serpentine waveguides can be employed as in the prior art relating to the drying of webs, veneers and the like. Compression of the materials can be achieved by feeding the mats between two continuous belts or webs that maintain pressure while moving through the serpentine waveguides. Rollers can be placed between or within the parallel sections of the waveguides that extend transversely of the web to maintain pressure on the belts or webs. The rollers will typically be made of a polymer, such as polyethylene, that will have loss characteristics such that the material does not absorb microwave energy and does not attenuate the directed energy. The pressure can also be maintained by having the belts or webs held together (pneumatically, hydraulically, springs, etc) and by having a continuous surface on each half of the waveguide in contact with the belt or web. This continuous surface will be made of a low-friction, low-loss material such as high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The belt or web will be similar in material.

The invention is applicable to the utilization of different forms of directed energy. Therefore, a detailed description of the use of ultraviolet and microwave directed energy systems will be provided hereinbelow.
Referring to FIG. 1, a mat forming system is generally illustrated at 10 ascomprising a plurality of stages spaced along a conveyor belt 12 which is supported for travel along a defined path by a pair of end rollers 14 and 16. The system includes a fiber preparation and application stage 18, a binder applicator 20 and a compression and curing stage 22. At the terminus of the conveyor belt 12, adjacent the roller 16, the formed mat is taken off and rolled up on a take-up or winding roller 52.
At the applicator stage 18, reinforcement fibers, for example either continuous strand or chopped glass fibers, are prepared in a manner known in the art, such as disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,054,713, in the apparatus 24 and deposited, symbolically indicated by the arrow 26, onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 12 as a layer 26' of fibers. The layer 26' of fibers is then received at the binder applicator station 20 in which binder is drawn from a supply 28, here an ultraviolet energy-curable binder, and applied by way of a sprayer 30 as aspray 32 onto the upper surface of the formed layer 26' to form a binder-coated layer 26UV on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 12with a 2.0-10.0 weight percent of binder. It will therefore be appreciated that the binder is applied, not as a fill, but more as a thin penetrating random disposition of droplets.
The binder-coated layer 26UV then passes into the compression and curing stage 22 in which the conveyor belt 12, more particularly the layer26UV carried thereon is compressed between pairs of spaced compressionrollers 34-38 where the layer 26UV is compressed to a desired density/thickness ratio by the rollers, in stages, and the binder is cured, in stages, by way of the spaced ultraviolet sources 42, 44 which extend transversely of the layer 26UV and radiate the same as indicated at 46, 48.
After compression and curing, the finished fiber mat, now referenced 50 is taken from the conveyor belt 12 and rolled up on the wind-up roller 52.
Referring to FIG. 2, a similar system is generally illustrated at 10A in which a compression and curing stage 22A is substantially the sameas that illustrated in FIG. 1, but has an additional component in that an ultraviolet-transparent web 54, such as a polyethylene web, is applied to the upper surface of the binder-coated layer 26UV from a supply roller 55, the web 54 being guided by way of a guide roller 56. As mentioned above, the ultraviolet-transparent material may be the just-mentioned ultraviolet transparent polyethylene or an ultraviolet-transparent acrylic or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the web 54 will remain with the ultraviolet binder-coated layer 26 after curing and become part of the finished mat, now referenced 50A and rolled uptherewith, as at 52A, as a separating layer to provide a vacuum seal, if desired, in subsequent cutting and forming processes, such as disclosedin my aforementioned patent applications.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the same general system is generally illustrated at 10B in which the compression and curing stage 22B is illustrated as being provided with a continuous web 58 of, for example, ultraviolet-transpare polyethylene material as a strippable web which is guided by way of a plurality of rollers 60-66 over a circuitous path from the feed side of the stage 22B through the compression and curing process to be stripped from the resulting cured mat 50 at the guide roller64 before the mat 50 is rolled up on the wind-up roller 52. Again, an ultraviolet-transparent polyethylene material may be preferred for the web58 in that, as mentioned, it has excellent release characteristics, is inexpensive and is produced in a variety of thicknesses.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a further embodiment of a compression and curing stage 22c is illustrated in which the binder-coated layer 26UV is fed into the stage 22c between a pair of compression rollers 70 and 80 and exits between a pair of compression rollers 72 and 82. Compression is applied in this stage by way of a pair of ultraviolet-transparent webs 76, 86 which are respectively entrained aboutsets of guide and/or compression rollers 67-74 and 78-84. Along the definedpath in the stage 22c, the compressed layer 26UV is subjected, during compression, to radiation from a plurality of ultraviolet sources 421 -42n on the upper side of the layer and 441 -44n on the lower side of the layer. In this embodiment, it will be necessary for the conveyor belt 12 to also be transparent to ultraviolet radiation.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a further compression and curing stage 22D inwhich the conveyor belt 22 and the binder-coated layer 26UV are received between pairs of spaced compression rollers 88, 90-92, 94. In this embodiment in an ultraviolet tunnel 118 and instead of a plurality ofspaced ultraviolet sources between rollers, the upper rollers here indicated by the rollers 88 and 92, are transparent to ultraviolet radiation and have the ultraviolet sources 96, 98 mounted therein. In thisembodiment, as mentioned, the rollers would be made of a porous metal screen, an ultraviolet-transparent acrylic, an ultraviolet-transparent glass or an ultraviolet-transparent quartz material. Pressure is applied via a further plurality of rollers 102-108 and 110-116.
The system 10E illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 is much the same as that illustrated in FIG. 1, with the exception that the compression and curing stage 22E is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 as comprising an ultraviolet tunnel 102, 127 which comprises a housing 104, 128 having an inlet opening106, 130 for receiving the belt 12 and the binder-coated layer 26UV thereon and an exit opening 108, 132 for delivering the belt 12 carrying the cured layer 50 toward the wind-up station.
The system further comprises a pair of support rollers 126 in the area of the binder application stage 20 and a plurality of support and compressionrollers 134-148 for supporting the belt 12 on its underside.
Located above the belt is a plurality of compression rollers 150-156 which are spaced apart along the length of the ultraviolet tunnel 126 and, here,with pairs of the support and compression rollers 134-156 form sets of compression rollers. A plurality of elongate ultraviolet sources 158-168 is located above the binder-coated layer 26UV with the individual sources 158, 164; 160, 166 and 162, 168 located between adjacent ones of the upper rollers so as to radiate the layer 26UV after compression by the sets of rollers so that the layer 26UV is compressed and curedin stages to the desired density/thickness ratio.
Referring to FIG. 9, a similar system 10F is illustrated for ultraviolet curing in which the ultraviolet tunnel 170 again comprises a housing 172 having an inlet opening 174 and an outlet opening 176. In thisembodiment, the ultraviolet tunnel includes a pair of pressure plates 178, 180 which are loaded towards one another and receive the conveyor belt 12 and the binder-coated layer 26UV therebetween. The pressure loading on the pressure plates 140 and 146 is here symbolically indicated by a plurality of springs 141, 143 and 147, 149. Loading could be provided, however, by way of pneumatic or hydraulic rams or the like to obtain the desired compression along the length of the ultraviolet tunnel 170.
The ultraviolet tunnel 170, in this embodiment, includes an elongate ultraviolet source 182 indicated by a single multi-arched reflector 184 and a plurality of elongate ultraviolet lamps 186-202. Such a light systemmay also be provided beneath the conveyor given ultraviolet transmissive materials. Again, pressure can be gradually increased from one end of the ultraviolet tunnel to the other by progressive loading to provide the desired staging in the curing process to obtain the desired density/thickness ratio.
Up to this point, only ultraviolet curing has been discussed. The present invention, however, is also fully applicable to curing by way of directed microwave radiation.
Referring to FIG. 10, a microwave directed-energy curing system 10G isgenerally illustrated in the same form as for the ultraviolet energy-curingsystems 10-10F discussed above. In the system of FIG. 10, the reinforcement fiber makeup is the same as in the previous systems to provide a layer 26' on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 12. As the conveyor belt 12 moves to the applicator station 20', it is again supported by a pair of support rollers 126 and the layer 26' is provided with microwave energy-curable binder from a supply 28' and a spray nozzle 30 in the form of a spray 32' resulting in a binder-coated layer 26MW, again with a 2.0-10.0 weight percent of binder, preferably 3.0-7.0 weight percent.
The conveyor belt 12 and the binder-coated layer 26MW enter a compression and curing stage 10G which includes, instead of an ultraviolet tunnel, a microwave tunnel 204 having a housing 206 with an inlet opening 208 and an outlet opening 210 much the same as the aforementioend ultraviolet tunnel. Here, a finished mat 280 is fed out forwinding on a roller 282.
In the microwave tunnel 204, the conveyor belt 12 and the binder-coated layer 26MW are received between a plurality of upper compression rollers 212-224 and a plurality of lower compression rollers 226-238. As shown, the compression rollers are spaced apart along the length of the microwave tunnel 204 and are individually located between adjacent sections of a microwave waveguide 240 including an upper microwave waveguide half 242 and a lower microwave half 244 having a plurality of transverse sections 246-258 on the upper side and a plurality of sections 260-272 on the lower side. The upper and lower halves 242 and 244 togetherform a split microwave waveguide 240 constructed generally along the lines discussed in my aformentioned patent applications Ser. Nos. 446,859 and 552,253 but without contours for forming a three-dimensional shape. The waveguide 240 is fed by way of a microwave generator 278 and the two halves 242 and 244 and their individual sections 246, 260-258, 272 are separated by a pair of, for example polyethylene members 274, 276 on opposite sides of the waveguide halves, these members sealing the individual waveguide sections from debris. The members 274, 276 also include respective openings for receiving the compression rollers 212-238 therethrough to respectively contact the layer 26MW and the belt 12.
Referring to FIG. 11, a microwave directed-energy system is illustrated in the compression and curing stage 10H which comprises a microwave tunnel 284 including a housing 286 having an input opening 288 and an exitopening 290. The microwave tunnel 284 includes therein a microwave waveguide 292 formed by an upper waveguide half 294 and a lower waveguide half 296 which, when mated together, define a channel having communicationwith the input opening 288 and the exit opening 290.
The upper waveguide half 294 comprises a plurality of half sections 298-310and the lower waveguide half comprises a plurality of half sections 312-324.
Not shown in FIG. 11, but which may be applied as in FIG. 10, the waveguidestructure may also comprise, for example, polyethylene members, such as themembers 274, 276 to keep the waveguide sections free of debris. These, if supplied, would also be provided with corresponding apertures for receiving compression rollers therethrough.
As in the structure of FIG. 10, the structure of FIG. 11 also comprises a plurality of compression rollers, here provided in vertical pairs, in the form of a plurality of upper compression rollers 326-338 and a plurality of lower compression rollers 340-352. These compression rollers contact the upper surface of the binder-coated layer 26MW and the lower surface of the conveyor belt 12, through the corresponding apertures if the layer 274 and 276 are provided. As before, compression and curing is staged by way of the compression applied via the roller pairs, such as thepair 326, 340 and the conteporaneously-applied microwave radiation by way of the upper and lower waveguide sections.
The waveguide 292, as before, is connected to a source of microwave energy 354 for applying the appropriate microwave frequency to the waveguide 292.
FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate the same system as FIG. 11 and better show the radiused sections 358, 360 of the waveguide 292. As illustrated, the microwave source 354 is coupled to the waveguide by a waveguide coupling 356.
Although I have described my invention by reference to particular illustrative embodiments thereof, many changes and modifications of the invention may become apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. I therefore intend to include within the patent warranted hereon all such changes and modifications as may reasonably and properly be included within the scope of my contribution to the art.

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School
À l'heure actuelle, nous n'avons pas d'ouvertures d'emploi, de possibilités de bénévolat, ou d'événements prochains.
S'identifier ou adhérer pour être parmi les premiers à savoir quand de nouvelles ouvertures ou des événements sont ajoutés!
À propos
Our Mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery.
Outward Bound is an international educational movement dedicated to the idea that people are capable of far more than they know.
Originally designed by educator Kurt Hahn in 1941 to prepare young Britons to face the challenges of World War II, whether on the home front or in the uniformed services, the program fostered leadership qualities that were especially needed for those in the Merchant Marine whose ships were "Outward Bound," headed to the high seas on the treacherous North Atlantic run.
Now, all around the world, Outward Bound schools prepare people to take on challenges and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
Hahn was adamant that human potential should be harnessed for the well-being of all people. As a Jewish educator living in Nazi Germany, he had witnessed the horror of human power unchecked by compassion and moral courage. Hahn fled Germany and pioneered educational programs that inspired young people to embrace their common humanity, engage in service and become active citizens. He developed a curriculum focused not only on academics, but also on embracing challenge and valuing reflection time, which was dedicated to impelling students to realize their full potential
It took only a few years for this ground-breaking educational program to begin its international expansion. Now, more than 60 years since its inception, Outward Bound has schools in over 30 countries on six continents. Our programs are continuing to evolve, and the future is very promising.
Hahn's philosophy shaped our own: By living in a group in a wilderness setting and facing authentic challenges, participants realize what they are truly capable of and develop compassionate, courageous leadership skills needed for actively engaging in their lives back home.
At Outward Bound Baltimore Chesapeake Bay we value compassion, integrity, excellence, and diversity. We use experiential education techniques in a supportive yet challenging environment to teach our students that they are capable of more than they ever thought possible.

HPE, Cisco, Microsoft Lead Data Center Infrastructure Market
Third-quarter numbers compiled by Synergy analysts show the global market nearing $120 billion, driven by cloud computing environments.Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Cisco Systems continue to be the top hardware vendors in a global data center infrastructure market that is nearing the $120 billion mark, according to analysts with Synergy Research Group. At the same time, Microsoft remained by far the number-one software maker in the space in the third quarter, with almost a 70 percent share of the market. VMware, in second place, held less than a 20 percent share. Cloud computing is a key driver behind the continuing growth in the data center infrastructure space, according to the Synergy analysts. Public cloud providers are currently pushing the demand, though the rise of private clouds will become an increasing factor. "The mass adoption of public cloud services has created the need for widespread deployment of hyperscale data centers and has led to record spending on service provider data center equipment," Jeremy Duke, Synergy's founder and chief analyst, said in a statement. "While the market dynamics are different for private cloud, it, too, will drive enormous changes in the investment patterns for enterprise data center hardware, software and services."
The influence of the cloud and the need for hyperscale infrastructure resources can be seen in the types of products that are most in demand, according to Synergy's numbers, which were released this month. The largest single product segment was rack servers, which accounted for 34 percent of the total market, the analysts found. The highest growth was seen in such individual product segments as virtualization software, blade servers and integrated security platforms.

Kenneth Lockley, 28, who works at Core Design in Derby, was arrested after he allegedly approached an undercover officer and asked him to find a girl to have sex with another unnamed person. The arrest by an officer from the Scotland Yard's paedophilia and child pornography unit took place last Wednesday at the Regent Palace Hotel, central London.
Mr Lockley had been due to attend a launch party for his company's latest Tomb Raider computer game, which again features the cyber-heroine Lara Croft. Core Design is helping police with their inquires, which are believed to include analysis of some computers at its headquarters. Mr Lockley has been suspended from his job, which he had held for about two years.
Mr Lockley, of Ashborne, Derbyshire, was charged at Horseferry Road magistrates court in London on 10 December. He was remanded in custody and will re-appear at court on Friday.
A spokeswoman for Core Design said that Mr Lockley was part of the team that develops computer games but had not worked on Tomb Raider.

REIT Rejects Unsolicited Bid
Cole Credit Property Trust III Inc., Phoenix, has rejected an unsolicited takeover bid from American Realty Capital Properties, stating it will maintain its plans to acquire Cole Holdings Corp., a related real estate investment asset management firm.
ARCP was offering $5.7 billion or $12 per share for CCPT III in an effort to bust up the Cole Holdings transaction. In a letter to the CCPT board, ARCP said if the internalization transaction was completed, it would have to reconsider the proposal and reduce the amount it was willing to pay.
ARCP said its offer gives CCPT III shareholders immediate liquidity and it would create "largest, highest quality publicly traded REIT in the net lease sector." While both companies are publicly traded, ARCP is listed on Nasdaq, while CCPT III currently is a non-listed company.
If the deal with Cole Holdings were to go through, the combination would change its name to Cole Real Estate Investments Inc. and seek a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
In a press release, CCPT III said the special committee of its board has reviewed the ARCP offer and the deal is not in the best interests of CCPT III and its stockholders.
ARCP responded by saying it was "not only surprised, but disappointed," by the rejection and that CCPT III is depriving its stockholders of a choice. It added it remains committed to its offer.
Another REIT dealing with an unsolicited takeover offer, CommonWealth REIT, said it has won a ruling from a Maryland judge against Corvex Management LP and Related Fund Management LLC, which had been seeking a stay from arbitration proceedings that the REIT had initiated to remove their lawsuit from the court system.
Corvex and Related had sought to stop a since-priced 30 million share common stock offering by proposing to pay $27 per share for CommonWealth. CommonWealth has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission preliminary consent revocation materials.

Don't Call It A Comeback: Old School K-pop and Its Fans
Often believed to appeal only to teenagers, K-pop is experiencing a trend with old school groups making successful comebacks.
Some believe that K-pop has a short shelf life. Several point to the "five-year curse," a trend where male K-pop groups break up or disband, often in the face of mandatory military service in Korea. Others believe that K-pop is a fad that will run its course. In 2011, Ree at seoulbeats declared: "One thing people must note when discussing the popularity of K-Pop, is that to many people, whether they realize it or not, K-Pop has almost simply become a fad. Meaning that despite the fact it is at its peak of popularity, it will once again start heading on a downhill slope."
However, successful comebacks of groups who debuted prior to 2000 challenge these notions. Tickets for Shinhwa's Grand Tour 2012: The Return concert sold out in February, ahead of the release of the album The Return in March. Such success occurred after a four-year hiatus by group from the music scene. Other first-generation K-pop groups, such as g.o.d and Fly To the Sky, have also announced comeback plans.
Who are the people who support groups who have been inactive for years and why do they continue to like such groups? I want to find out! If you are a fan of a group who debut before 2000, take this survey! It will ask you questions about old school K-pop groups such as H.O.T, Shinhwa, S.E.S, Fin.K.L, Fly to the Sky, g.o.d, 1TYM, Deux and others.

Ree. "The K-pop Fad: When Will It End?" seoulbeats. 22 Nov 2011. Web. 25 May 2014.
Fin.K.L. (Fine Killing Liberty) is a four-member female group managed by DSP Media. The original members were Annie Lee, Lee Jin, Ock Joo Hyun, and Sung Yu Ri. Before Fin.K.L debuted, Annie Lee left the group, and Lee Hyori was discovered and completed the group. Fin.K.L debuted in May of 1998. Their debut contemporaries include legendary male Kpop group Shinhwa and influential hip-hop group 1TYM. . . . Click here to continue reading on KPOPIANA.

Gender, Skill, and Earnings in Professional Golf
This article compares the PGA Tour to the LPGA by examining the relationship between skills and earnings on the two tours. Men on the PGA Tour play for bigger purses than do the women in the LPGA tournaments. But the men also play more rounds of golf over longer golf courses in front of more spectators and exhibit greater levels of skill than the women. The statistical results show which golf skills are the most valuable by estimating the effect of the skill on earnings. Furthermore, the results show that once skill levels are accounted for, women are not underpaid compared to men. Even though the tournament form of compensation rewards the relative skill levels within each tournament, the professional golf industry appears to reward the absolute level of skill with no gender bias.
