  • Patent number: 7406832
    Abstract: A device for disinfecting components of an air conditioning system in a motor vehicle is provided. The device includes an ozone generator arranged in close proximity to an evaporator in the air conditioning system. The device further includes an electronic control unit configured to activate the ozone generator to produce a comparatively large amount of ozone sufficient to disinfect the evaporator. The electronic control device activates the ozone generator when information provided to the control unit indicates that a condition is met, under which air flaps between the air conditioning system and a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle may remain closed or are expected to remain closed for a time sufficient for the disinfection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2008

  • Patent number: 4892605
    Abstract: A multi-layer laminate web for furniture formed of a polyolefin web containing a mixture or blend of specific proportions by weight of a propylene homopolymer or copolymer and specific proportions by weight of a low pressure polyethylene, polyvinylalcohol, ethylene-vinylalcohol copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-acrylate ester-acrylic acid copolymer or -terpolymer and/or polycaprolactone or a mixture of blend of low pressure polyethylene with one or more of the foregoing polymers, copolymers or terpolymers and specific proportions by weight of a finely divided mineral filler or mineral filler mixture having on the surface thereof a substance having polar and non-polar groups, and a surface layer having an average thickness from 3 to 30 microns applied over the polyolefin web. A method for producing a furniture laminate is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4576860
    Abstract: A foam laminate foil or web and process therefor. The laminate includes an unfoamed top layer containing an elastomer grafted styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (ASA), grafted with polyfunctional acrylates and a chlorinated polyethylene (PEC) and/or a rubber-like ethylene-propylene mixed polymer (EPM) and/or a rubber-like terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and a diene, a closed pore polyolefin bottom layer with a bulk density of 30 kg/m.sup.3 to 700 kg/m.sup.3 which includes an ethylene homo- or copolymer, and an intermediate layer arranged between the bottom layer and the top layer and which acts as a coupling agent. The intermediate layer includes a low pressure polyethylene, an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer and a rubber-like ethylene-propylene mixed polymer (EPM) and/or a rubber-like terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and a diene (EPDM).
