  • Evidence from My Hometown by Leo E. Strine
    Corporate Power is Corporate Purpose I: Evidence From My Hometown By Leo E. Strine, Jr.* † The Oxford Review of Economic Policy Seminar on Responsible Business Draft of December 9, 2016 Please do not cite * Chief Justice, Delaware Supreme Court; Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School; Austin Wakeman Scott Lecturer in Law, Harvard Law School; Senior Fellow, Harvard Program on Corporate Governance; and Henry Crown Fellow, Aspen Institute. † The author is grateful to Christine Balaguer, Jacob Fedechko, Peter Fritz, Alexandra Joyce, Fay Krewer, and Peggy Pfeiffer for their help. The author also thanks Stephen Bainbridge, Lawrence Hamermesh, David Katz, Marty Lipton, Andy Lubin, Sarah Lubin, and the two anonymous referees for excellent feedback and incisive comments on the draft. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2906875 One of the most tired debates in American corporate law has been about the ends of corporate governance. Must, within the limits of their legal discretion, boards of directors act for the best interests of stockholders? Or may they exercise their discretion to advance, as an end in itself, the best interests of other corporate constituencies, such as the corporation’s employees, home communities, and consumers? The reason this debate is a bit tired is because it is not about whether corporate statutes should be amended to give equal credence to other constituencies than stockholders, it is about arguing that corporate laws that give only rights to stockholders somehow implicitly empower directors to regard other constituencies as equal ends in governance. In other words, the debate involves large doses of wish fulfillment, with advocates for other constituencies arguing that the law already is what they in fact think it ought to be.

  • Ball and Butterfly Valve Seat/Seal Materials
    SEAT AND SEAL MATERIAL S BALL AND BUTTERFLY VAL V E SEAT /SEAL MATERIAL S SEAT MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS Virgin PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) PTFE or TFE (Teflon®) is a fluorocarbon based polymer and typically is the most chemically- resistant of all plastics while retaining excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. TFE also has a low coefficient of friction so is ideal for many low torque applications. This material is non-contaminating and accepted by the FDA for use in food services. Although TFE’s mechanical properties are low compared to other engineered plastics, its properties remain useful over a wide temperature range Temperature range: -100°F to +450°F. Color: white Torque adder: 0% RTFE (Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene) RTFE (reinforced Teflon® ) is compounded with a percentage of fiber glass or filler material to provide additional strength, stability and resistance to abrasive wear, cold flow and permeation in molded seats. Reinforcement such as glass fiber permits application at higher pressures and temperatures than unfilled TFE. RTFE should not be used in applications that attack glass, such as hydrofluoric acid and hot/strong caustics. Temperature range: -320°F to 450°F. Color: off-white (“milky-white”) Torque adder: 0% TFM TFM is a modified “second generation” TFE polymer that maintains the chemical and heat resistance properties of first generation PTFE. It has a denser polymer structure than standard PTFE with better stress recovery. Temperature range: -100°F to 500°F Color: white Torque adder: approximately 10% Delrin® Delrin® is DuPont’s trademark for Polyoxy-methylene. Delrin is very rigid, does not undergo cold flow, and has an excellent combination of strength, hardness, stiffness, stability, abrasion resistance and low friction.

    - 2 - No. 77 - 5/4/45 Is research essential for social progress? Is it fundamental or superficial research that is essential? What is the essential need of fundamental research? "Permit me a few comments on the first question: Is research essential for social progress? The question tempts me to a blunt remark: Is running essen­ tial when you are in a stampede? In other words, with research as a tool avail­ able to your competitors can you ignore its power? If you doubt the power of research look about you: Who here is dressed in homespun? Who here breakfasted exclusively on unprocessed foods raised and transported without benefit of meteorology, chemistry, physics and biology? Who got here on his own feet with­ out the aid of airplane, train, subway, taxicab, or elevator? Can you. or any one else, stop by fiat or pious resolve the advances of technology? Not without getting left so far behind as to make the words 'social progress' a cackling mockery. I suspect that there have been societies and states in the history of the world in which life and human relationships were to the healthy participants as agreeable or more agreeable than life in these modern times is to us. But I am quite sure you wouldn't trade your life for theirs: you like to get well from a ruptured appendix, diphtheria, or an acute mania or a rodent ulcer of the face--they couldn't and they didn't. In fact, it is precisely in the field of medical science that I would insist that progress is real.

J O Y C E Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1983 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ELMER KEISER BOLTON June 23, 1886-Jidy 30, 1968 BY ROBERT M. JOYCE LMER KEISER BOLTON was one of the outstanding leaders E of industrial research. He became an industrial re- search director at a time when research was only beginning to be a significant factor in the chemical industry. There were no models for this new role, and Bolton's concepts of direct- ing industrial research were in large measure those that he formulated himself, reflecting his vision and drive to achieve important commercial goals. The record of industrial products developed by Du Pont research organizations that he directed is impressive; it in- cludes synthetic dyes and intermediates, flotation chemicals, rubber chemicals, neoprene synthetic rubber, nylon synthetic fiber, and Teflon® polytetrafluoroethylene resin. His leader- ship in bringing these developments to fruition was always apparent to management and to those he directed, but be- cause of his characteristic self-effacement his name is not widely associated with these accomplishments. Throughout his career he supported and encouraged his technical person- nel. Most important, he had the knack of picking the right time and direction to take in moving a research lead into development. Many of his decisions proved crucial to the ultimate success of these ventures.

  • Kevlar Cut Protection Testing
    DuPont™ Kevlar ® THE SCIENCE OF CUT PROTECtiON Industry standards groups have made tremendous progress in testing and measuring the cut protective performance of gloves and apparel. DuPont has been a pioneer and active contributor to these efforts. It is now commonplace to have a wide range of performance data available for any protective apparel under consideration. Although the availability of cut protection performance information is widespread, it is important to understand the different test methodologies in order to interpret the data and draw accurate conclusions. This guide is designed to help specifiers of protective apparel make informed decisions about cut protective apparel performance. As a result, specifiers should take the time to better understand the sources of information and the critical factors that influence cut protection. Recent changes to some of the test methods make this imperative. The keys to cut protection Basis weight (oz/yd2) Cut protection is a combination of many factors, not just Defined as the fabric weight per unit area, not the overall the material of construction. Therefore, all of the following glove weight. The higher the basis weight, the higher the factors should be carefully considered when assessing cut resistance because there is more material present. the cut-resistant properties of a glove, particularly if you are developing a product specification: Fabric construction Defined as the details of structure of fabric. Includes such Material of construction information as types of knit or weave, threads/stitches (Kevlar®, leather, cotton, steel, etc.) This has the per inch. This can affect yarn mobility and sample greatest impact on the cut resistance of personal thickness, which can affect cut resistance.

  • Ball Valve Seat/Seal Materials and Service Applications
    APPLICATIONS - VALVE SOFT SEAT/SEAL MATERIALS One of the most important factors affecting shutoff capability is the nature of media being handled. Service life is affected by all of the following factors: - pressure, temperature, degree of pressure fluctuation and thermal fluctuation, type of media, cycling frequency, velocity of media & speed of valve operation. The following seat & seal materials can be used in various valves such as ball, plug, butterfly, needle, etc. BUNA-N (HYCAR or Nitrile) - Buna-N is a general-purpose polymer which has good resistance to oil, water, solvents and hydraulic fluids. It also displays good compression, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. This material performs extremely well in process areas where paraffin base materials, fatty acids, oils, alcohols or glycerins are present, since it is totally unaffected. It should not be used around high polar solvents (acetones, ketones), chlorinated hydrocarbons, ozone or nitro hydrocarbons. Temperature range is 107°C maximum. Hycar is black in colour and should not be used where discolouration cannot be tolerated. It is regarded as a comparable replacement neoprene. Major differences are: Buna-N has a higher temperature limit; neoprene is more resistant to oils. EPDM - EPDM is a terpolymer elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tear resistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attacks by oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong acids, or strong alkalines. EPDM should not be used on compressed air lines. It has exceptionally good weather aging and ozone resistance.
