Patent number: 11220616Abstract: Various polymeric barrier compositions are described which when formed into films, are useful in reducing transmission of odors. The films can be incorporated into a wide range of products such as multilayer barrier films used in medical applications and particularly in ostomy appliances. In certain versions, the films include semi-crystalline cyclic olefin copolymers.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Hoang T. Pham, Thomas Laney, Farid F. Ghiam, Kevin O. Henderson

Patent number: 10501248Abstract: Blister package having a novel pull tab construction that enables opening of each individual product cavity of the blister package. The pull tab is formed by breaking off a portion of a base substrate along a notched line that includes a series elongated severed portions extending completely through the thickness of the base substrate, separated by the unsevered (connected) portions. The notched line can be formed in the same mold that is used to form the recessed product cavity of the base substrate, thereby reducing the number of manufacturing steps and equipment, resulting in a significant cost savings during manufacture. The new notch line configuration eliminates the problems of the prior art with score depth achievement and consistency, while providing a reliable breakable line, and enable less brittle (non-PVC) polymers to be used. It also eliminates the problem with knife wear that prevented score depth achievement and consistency with non-PVC materials.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Tekni-Plex, Inc.Inventor: Farid F. Ghiam

Patent number: 10195839Abstract: Processes for forming a thermoformed labeled article are described. Labels are attached to a sheet to be thermoformed or to a section thereof. Label attachment can optionally use an adhesive. If the label material is completely or partially compatible with the sheet then the use of adhesive may not be necessary. The labels may also receive various graphics or other designs, such as by printing. After appropriate placement of the label relative to the sheet, the assembly of both sheet and label is thermoformed. After thermoforming, a finished and labeled article is produced. Also described are various labels and label assemblies which are uniquely suited for use in the processes described herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Farid F. Ghiam, Victor P. Holbert, Michael Zajaczkowski, Kevin O. Henderson

Patent number: 8900719Abstract: Compositions comprising from about 30% to about 95% of one or more RF-active functionalized ethylene copolymers and one or more propylene based plastomers are described. When formed into films or thin layers, the films exhibit a combination of low noise properties and good RF weldability characteristics. Also described are multilayer assemblies using such films and various articles incorporating such. Also described are methods of determining minimum thicknesses of an RF weldable layer in a multilayer film using the compositions.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Hoang T.
