Publication number: 20230108336Abstract: The present specification refers to a patent of invention for a foam formulation and its use in the temporary plugging of pipes, where the foam has volumetric and time stability, is prepared from a solution containing surfactant, co-surfactant, alkaline substance and LDH nanoparticles, is able to have its viscosity increased over time and remain intact for 8 hours or more even under pressure differences of up to 0.1 bar and a temperature of 60° C. and then it is able to disperse simply by using water or even the fluid transported in the pipeline. The LDH nanoparticle reinforced foam of the present invention can be applied in pipes that need to be plugged when they are undergoing maintenance, either to prevent incandescent soldering splashes from coming into contact with an explosive atmosphere or to avoid contamination in the pipe interior, among other applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Rone Cesar Morales, Robinson Antonio Silva, Sandra Helena Pulcinelli, Edilene Cristina Ferreira, Rodrigo Morais Menezes Dos Santos, Eduardo Pena Dos Santos, Celso Valentim Santilli

Publication number: 20210401415Abstract: A locking adapter configured to removably attach a surgical tool to a surgical handpiece unit can include a first coupling portion having a first hole and a second coupling portion having a second hole. The first and second holes can receive a portion of a surgical instrument, such as a cutting element (e.g., a burr or blade). The locking adapter can have a first position where the first hole is not aligned with the second hole and a second position where the first hole is aligned with the second hole. When the locking adapter is in the second position and the portion of the surgical instrument is received within the first and second holes, the first coupling portion can apply a first force on the portion and the second coupling portion can apply a second force on the portion, the first and second forces having different directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Alexander M.

Patent number: 10209256Abstract: Lateral-flow assay and time-resolved fluorescence technologies provide a sensitive tool for detecting norovirus particles in a sample. A flow-through assay device employs norovirus and norovirus G2 antibodies. The lateral-flow assay includes a conjugate pad having conjugated probes. The conjugated probes are particles modified with a binding member that is configured to bind with a norovirus. The particles also have a fluorescent label. A general method of detecting the virus includes (i) preparing a sample with contaminants, (ii) processing the sample and depositing it onto the assay device, and (iii) measuring the fluorescence signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Bao Trong Do, Jonathan Hofmekler, Cesar A. Morales, David W. Koenig, Yang Huang, Aimin He

Publication number: 20160037881Abstract: A latching mechanism for an earring having two opposed ends. A post with a notch at one end is affixed to one of the opposed ends. The post is used to hold the earring in place when inserted into a pierced earlobe. A post engagement element is affixed to the second opposed end and rotates around a pin. The post engagement element includes a catch for engaging the notch. A spring receiving chamber is affixed to the earring adjacent to the second opposed end. A spring is disposed into the spring receiving chamber, and operates to apply a biasing force on the post engagement element for enabling the notch and the catch to engage with each other. When a force is applied to the post engagement element, the spring is compressed and the post engagement element rotates around the pin and disengages the notch from the catch.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2014Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Randy G.

Publication number: 20070179080Abstract: The invention relates to an ester quat concentrate suitable for production of fabric softeners at lower temperatures comprising a) an esterquat compound; b) an organic solvent; c) water; d) a pH modifier. Although the presence of water in an ester quat concentrate is generally avoided due to the latter well known instability towards hydrolysis reaction, in the present invention, water is essential to the dispersibility at lower temperatures, which consequently leads to a significant increase in the final product viscosity. One way to solve this problem is by keeping the hydrolysis under control through the addition of a pH modifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2005Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: Manlio Gallotti, George Nunes, Gustavo Kume, Cesar Morales
