Patent number: 10239666Abstract: Container closures wherein at least one void comprised in the closure is at least partially filled with a gas or gaseous mixture which by composition or pressure is different from air are disclosed. The oxygen content of said gas can be lower than the oxygen content of air. Through use of such closures for sealing closed containers, the amount of air and therefore oxygen that enters the closed container through closure desorption can be effectively controlled, changed, or even largely eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: VINVENTIONS USA, LLCInventors: Stéphane Vidal, Jean Baptiste Dieval, Malcolm Joseph Thompson, Olav Marcus Aagaard, Katherine Campbell Glasgow

Patent number: 9914565Abstract: By providing a synthetic closure which comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer and, as an additive, at least one fatty acid derivative, in particular a fatty acid ester or a fatty acid amide such as a stearamide, a synthetic closure is attained which achieved substantially enhanced properties. In particular, it has been found that the oxygen transfer rate of the closure is reduced substantially, thus reducing unwanted oxidation of wine. Furthermore, the use of a fatty acid derivative additive improves the performance characteristics of synthetic corks, such as extraction force, ovality control, diameter control and length control.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: VINVENTIONS USA, LLCInventors: Lindsay Herman Davis, Olav Marcus Aagaard, Katherine Campbell Glasgow, Nisha Amol Keskar, Meghann Moore Sparks

Patent number: 9511912Abstract: A closure for a container, such as, for example, a wine bottle, is provided. In one embodiment, the closure includes an oxidant releasing agent that is adapted to release oxygen into an interior portion of the container according to a predefined desired profile. In another embodiment, the closure comprises a gas containing reservoir, a membrane and a barrier layer, the membrane allowing an at least partial exchange of gas between the inside of the reservoir and the inside of the container, and the barrier layer at least partially preventing exchange of gas between the outside of the closure and the inside of the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: NOMACORC, LLCInventors: Olav Marcus Aagaard, Katherine Campbell Glasgow, Malcolm Joseph Thompson, Marco Josef Otto Kirch

Publication number: 20040088392Abstract: A system and method provides a simulation of a complex network and movement and interdependencies between entities in the network. The system receives aggregated population data and a population synthesizer generates disaggregated population data representative of two different types of entities. The different entity types are then coupled to one another to form interdependent relationships. An activity generator generates typical activities for the entities. A route planner generates travel plans, including departure times and travel modes, for each entity to achieve daily activities. A micro-simulation module simulates movement of the individual entities in compliance with their travel plans. The system may include parallel processors to simulate thousands of roadway and transit segments, intersection signals and signs, transfer facilities between various transportation modes, traveler origins and destinations, and entities and vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2002Publication date: May 6, 2004Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Christopher L.

Patent number: 5321862Abstract: Bedclothes which have been modified by affixing thereto connecting means which are positioned to guide the placement of the bedclothes on the mattress. When connectors are aligned along the periphery of the mattress, the bedclothes are properly centered and positioned with the correct amount of overhang on three sides. The connectors on one article of bedclothes coact with those on the next layer to position that layer and hold the layers together as a unit. Bedclothes may be removed and replaced as a unit or singly and they may be tucked under the mattress or not as the user dictates. The method of bedmaking utilizing the bedclothes may be performed visually or tactilely.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1993Date of Patent: June 21, 1994Inventor: Katherine Campbell
