  • Patent number: 9221583
    Abstract: The present technology provides a bisphenol A capture system for food and beverage containers which include BPA-containing coatings. The capture system is made of one or more materials which bind any BPA eluting from the BPA-containing coating. The present capture system therefore reduces or prevents BPA from migrating from the can coating into the food or beverages stored in the can. The present technology further provides methods of manufacturing and using such coatings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 29, 2015

  • Patent number: 7727759
    Abstract: By using a microfabrication technique such as nanoimprinting, a structure for cell culture comprising: a concavo-convex structure having a plurality of successive unit structures each formed in a polygonal shape in a planar direction and having a minimum internal diameter of less than or equal to 3 ?m, wherein a width between adjoining unit structures is less than or equal to 3 ?m, a concavo-convex depth is greater than or equal to 10 nm, and the concavo-convex structure functions as a cell adherence surface. By culturing cells in this structure or a cell culture vessel comprising this structure integrated therein, a structure having a spheroid or a vessel having a spheroid, in which a spheroid with lamellipodia has been formed, can be obtained. Thus, it is possible to produce the structure or the cell culture vessel in which the shape, size and material of the peak-and-valley structure are controlled. Furthermore, a spheroid suitable for, e.g.
