  • Coating Removal Technology Using Starch Based Abrasives, a Review of Current Aerospace Application Using the Envirostrip Dry Stripping Process
    Coating removal technology using starch based abrasives, a review of current Aerospace application using the Envirostrip dry stripping process. by Denis Monette and Cameron Drake Archer Daniels Midland September 2000 995 Mill Street Montreal, H3C1Y5 Phone: 514-846-8516 INTRODUCTION Due to stringent environmental regulations enacted in the past 10 years, methylene chloride (MC) has been phased out in many industries because it is harmful to the environment and the workers exposed to it. The aerospace industry, historically a large user of MC, researched and adopted many environmentally acceptable alternatives to replace methylene chloride based paint strippers. This has proved to be a very difficult task as MC chemical strippers have been very effective in removing tough polyurethane/epoxy coating systems typically found on aircraft structures A variety of new “environmentally acceptable (EA) chemicals” were developed in the last five years to replace MC. These EA chemicals are considered safer because the chemicals are not as volatile, having very low evaporation rates. However, some strongly believe that new EA chemicals may still pose unknown health risks to workers, as well as potentially damage aircraft structures due to long term ingress problems. Because MC strippers evaporate so quickly, problems associated with chemical ingress were rare. The potential for the new EA chemicals to damage and/or corrode sensitive aircraft structures is a new problem due to the low evaporation rates (low volatility) of these MC chemical substitutes. Ten years ago, an alternative non-chemical, paint removal process was introduced to the aerospace industry. This process uses a dry abrasive media, called EnviroStripÒ wheat starch, which is projected at low pressures to remove virtually every type of organic coating from most aerospace materials.

    Case: 1:19-cv-01323 Document #: 123 Filed: 10/15/20 Page 1 of 53 PageID #:1849 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION WEST PALM BEACH FIREFIGHTERS’ PENSION FUND, Plaintiff, Case No. 19-cv-01323 v. Judge Martha M. Pacold CONAGRA BRANDS, INC. et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER In 2018, Conagra Brands, Inc. acquired Pinnacle Foods. To fund the merger, Conagra held a secondary public offering (“SPO”). After the merger was complete, Conagra reported disappointing financial results and Conagra’s stock fell. Plaintiffs National Elevator Industry Pension Fund, City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System, and City of Sarasota Police Officers’ Pension Plan sued Defendants Conagra, Sean Connolly (Conagra’s CEO), David Marberger (Conagra’s CFO), a slate of Conagra directors, and the underwriters to the SPO, alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Defendants move to dismiss. [75]. For the reasons below, the motion is granted. Background For purposes of Defendants’ motion to dismiss, the court accepts as true the well-pleaded factual allegations of the consolidated class action complaint and draws all reasonable inferences in Plaintiffs’ favor. Tamayo v. Blagojevich, 526 F.3d 1074, 1081 (7th Cir. 2008). The court also considers the documents attached to the complaint, documents that are critical to the complaint and referred to in it, information that is subject to proper judicial notice, and additional facts set forth in Plaintiffs’ opposition to the motion to dismiss, to the extent those facts are consistent with the pleadings.

  • 2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K
    2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K Dear Stockholders, When I last reported to you a year ago, we were closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and what 2020 had in store for us. Now, as we enter 2021, I can look back and say I have never been prouder of our team than after seeing how they rose to meet the challenges we faced together over the past year. 2020 Performance and Accomplishments Before I report on our many achievements in 2020, it is important to acknowledge how the pandemic has affected our 39,000 colleagues around the globe. We lost team members to COVID-19, and many of us have lost friends and family members as well. There have been very real economic, emotional and psychological impacts of the virus and the lockdowns that have been neces- sary to combat it. Throughout the year, as the virus first appeared and then spread, we worked to keep our workplaces healthy, our communities resilient, and our global food chain strong. We dramatically expanded our IT infrastructure to allow non-production colleagues to work safely from home, while simultaneously supporting our frontline teams, who continued coming to our production facilities every day. We worked with the University of Illinois on new saliva-based COVID-19 testing capabilities. And we offered financial and other support to colleagues and communities in need. Now, we are focused on helping our team members get vaccinated to protect ourselves and those around us, and accelerate a return to normalcy. Amid all of these challenges, our team delivered for our company and our customers.

  • US Firms Performance During Recessions: a Comparative Case Study
    US firms performance during recessions: a comparative case study by Catherine Obiribea Ofori-Bah B.A., University of Ghana, 2017 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Agricultural Economics College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2020 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Vincent Amanor-Boadu Copyright © Catherine Obiribea Ofori-Bah 2020. Abstract With the majority of economists predicting that the US economy will experience a recession by 2021, it has become increasingly important to explore how well firms do during recessions. Improving understanding of firm characteristics that sustain performance during recessions could provide some learning from the strategies pursued by these firms that maintain their performance during recessions. The study is a case analysis of six US firms, four in the agri- food sector, and two in the technology sector. While numerous performance measures exist, the study intentionally uses return on sales as the performance measure of interest because of its unique characteristic of capturing firms’ current situation over which they have current control. Return on sales, defined as the ratio of net income to sales revenue in the current period, limits performance assessment to current results, allowing for the direct impact of recessions to be measured. The study theorizes that certain firms fare better than others because of their product mix. It also hypothesizes that return on sales as a performance indicator during recessions is determined by how well firms do with their assets and other financial resources. These are tested using 30 years of financial data from Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS), hosted by the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.
