  • Patent number: 8720141
    Abstract: A building structure includes a framework of: (a) metal studs having walls that define an interior channel; (b) a cellular backing material extending lengthwise within the interior channel of at least a portion of the metal studs; (c) a thermally insulating layer extending over multiple metal studs; (d) fasteners extending through the thermally insulating layer, through a wall of a metal stud and into the cellular backing material within the interior channel of the metal stud; and (e) a cladding attached to the framework of metal studs by means of the fasteners.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2013

  • Patent number: 5370940
    Abstract: Film having good blocking properties and low coefficient of friction is prepared without the presence of antiblock additives from certain thermoplastic ethylene interpolymer products. The thermoplastic ethylene interpolymer products have a density of about 0,935 g/ml or less, a melt flow ratio, I.sub.10/ I.sub.2, of at least about 8, and at least about 0.5 percent by weight of the interpolymer product has a weight average molecular weight of at least about 1,000,000 grams/mole. The interpolymer products are a blend or composite of ethylene polymers or copolymers and comprise at least a first interpolymer of ethylene with at least one alpha-olefin monomer. Preferably, the interpolymer products have a melt index, I.sub.2, of from about 0.1 to about 4 grams/10 minutes. The interpolymer products can be made using discrete polymer blends, or preferably, in a multiple reactor sequence. Blown film made from the interpolymer products is especially useful in grocery sack applications.
