  • Patent number: 7169138
    Abstract: Containers and methods for storing medical solutions are provided. More specifically, containers and methods for storing components that are to be admixed, together to create a final solution, one of the components comprising a lipid. In an embodiment, a container including an interior defining at least two chambers. The first chamber includes a lipid containing liquid. The second chamber includes a liquid that does not include a lipid. The first and second chambers are separated by an openable seal.

  • Publication number: 20050151100
    Abstract: A positive pressure actuated aerator valve assembly adapted to discharge compressed gas into the chamber of a bulk material handling structure. The aerator valve assembly includes a housing and positive pressure actuated valve. The housing includes a chamber adapted to receive compressed gas and a discharge piston slideable between an extended position and a retracted position. The valve includes a valve body having an actuator piston seat and a fluid vent passageway in fluid communication with the actuator piston seat. An actuator piston is slideable with respect to the valve body between a retracted position and an extended position.

  • Publication number: 20050118015
    Abstract: A turbine vibrator including a housing having a first end and a second end and a generally cylindrical internal surface forming a cylindrical central chamber. An end cap is attached to each end of the housing including one or more outlet ports in fluid communication with the central chamber. A turbine wheel is located within the central chamber of the housing and is rotatably supported by the end caps. The turbine wheel includes a central shaft, a cylindrical wall extending concentrically about the central shaft, and an eccentric weight extending between the shaft and the cylindrical wall. A rotor including a plurality of teeth formed from an elastomeric material extends around the cylindrical wall. A cap cover including one or more outlet ports is attached to each end cap with a muffler member disposed between the outlet ports in the end cap and the outlet ports in the cap cover.

  • Publication number: 20020115795
    Abstract: The present invention provides polymer blends having a first component of a polymeric material capable of being cross-linked and selected from the group consisting of an ethylene containing polymer, the first component present in an amount by weight of the blend from about 50% to about 95%, the first component having a first melting point temperature determined by DSC; and a second component of a non-readily cross-linkable polymeric material and selected from the group consisting of propylene containing polymers and methyl pentene containing polymers, the second component being present in an amount by weight of the blend from about 50% to about 5%, the second component having a second melting point temperature determined by DSC; and a portion of the first component being cross-linked and the second component is essentially free of cross-linking.
