  • Impact modified polyamide compositions
    Patent number: 6420481
    Abstract: A multiphase polymer composition having increased impact resistance at low temperatures, includes a blend of an ionomer dispersed in nylon 6, a polyamide other than nylon 6, and a composition that includes EP or EPDM grafted with 0.05 to 3 weight percent of a carboxylic acid or any anhydride thereof. The ionomer is formed from a partially neutralized acid copolymer precursor, the acid copolymer precursor having polymerized in-chain units derived from the monomers comprising: (a) ethylene, (b) 2 to 25 weight percent of (meth)acrylic acid, (c) 0.1 to 15 weight percent of a dicarboxylic acid monomer, (d) 0-40 weight percent of a C1-C8-alkyl alkyl acrylate, the ionomer being formed by neutralization of from about 5 to 90 percent of the total number of carboxylic acid units in the copolymer with metal ions.

  • Molding nozzle gate valve
    Patent number: 6419116
    Abstract: A molding nozzle controls the flow of material from a source of plastic melt to an outlet that communicates with a gate to a mold cavity. The nozzle contains a valve pin that includes a guide section and a valve end, and is movable toward and away from the gate to open and close the gate selectively. The valve pin is guided for movement by guide surfaces on inwardly-extending vanes within the nozzle, such that the guide surfaces engage the guide section of the valve pin. The valve end of the valve pin has a smaller diameter than that of the guide section, so that the valve section is free-floating to allow annular flow in the guide surface region to minimize the likelihood of formation of flow lines in the molded part.

  • Cable with fire-resistant, moisture-resistant coating
    Publication number: 20020088642
    Abstract: The disclsoure describes an electric conductor having a coating layer with the property of strippability so that it can be stripped from the electric conductor, and a method for controlling the strippability of the coating layer from the electric conductor, with the electrical insulation properties of the cable coating being kept constant after exposure to moisture. The method involves adding to a polymeric composition forming the coating layer a predetermined amount of a polyolefinic compound, which contains at least one unsaturation and at least one carboxyl group in the polymer chain.

  • Method for producing glycolic acid from glycolonitrile using nitrilase
    Patent number: 6416980
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing &agr;-hydroxy acids using an enzyme catalyst having nitrilase activity. More specifically, the invention pertains to use of Acidovorax facilis 72W (ATCC 55746) nitrilase to hydrolyze glycolonitrile to glycolic acid. Glycolonitrile is reacted in an aqueous mixture with a catalyst having Acidovorax facilis 72W nitrilase activity to give glycolic acid selectively, and at high concentration and high yield.

  • Expandable core plug
    Patent number: 6416014
    Abstract: An expandable, self-adjusting core plug which will maintain a fit between core plug and an out-of-round web roll core. The present invention accomplishes this by providing a core plug with a number of individual, elongated beveled ribs and a corresponding beveled spindle, both of which cooperatively and axially adjust the thickness of the core plug to meet variations in the inner diameter of the core.

  • Corkscrew for a wine steward
    Patent number: 6415689
    Abstract: The corkscrew for a wine steward is of the type which contains a helicoidal body (1) to be inserted in the cap of a bottle to be opened, this body being hinged to an element (2) of lengthened shape. The main feature of the invention resides in the fact that it also contains an apparatus (4) which is common to devices of this type, capable of opening caps having a crown and an extension (7), which substantially extends for the entire length of element (2), is hinged (7′) to the apparatus (4). This extension makes it easier substantially for the user the operation of raising the cap and also allows the operator to open the bottle without touching with his hands the mouth of the bottle.

  • Calendered double side segment coated webs
    Patent number: 6416904
    Abstract: An improved design and manufacturing method is disclosed for calendered, double side segment coated webs. By staggering the leading edges and/or the trailing edges of the segment coatings on one side of the web from those on the other side, web damage, including the incidence of breakage, can be reduced. Further, vibration and wear on the calendering apparatus can be reduced. The invention is particularly useful for heavily calendered webs such as the electrodes in non-aqueous rechargeable lithium ion batteries.

  • Emergency oxygen supply system for passengers in aircraft
    Patent number: 6416720
    Abstract: An oxygen generator of an emergency chemical oxygen generating system is mounted on a sliding mechanism that displaces the oxygen generator vertically and horizontally away from the walls of the oxygen generator container when the door of the module is opened, in order to reduce the heating of the container walls and the surrounding areas. The sliding mechanism can be a telescoping assembly having multiple sliding segments, a slot in the side of the module wall with a tab attached to the generator such that the tab slides within the slot allowing for downward sliding of the generator, or an arrangement of channels and rollers. The movement of the generator from a stowed position to a use position can also initiate the flow of oxygen.
