Publication number: 20130260976Abstract: A laminate for use in packages comprises a base layer (3), a welding layer (1), and an adhesive layer (2) sandwiched there between. The adhesive layer (2) is a hot melt or a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) having a shear rate of 10-150 minutes at 40° C. in a test area of 12.5 mm×25 mm. The welding layer (1) comprises a layer of a polyethylene (PE) copolymer, and optionally an additional layer of PET, PE, such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) and/or PP. The method of making the laminate involves applying a base layer (3), an adhesive layer (2) of hot melt/PSA and subsequently a welding layer (1) in one working process to form a reclosable laminate (9). This laminate may serve as a reclosable lid and exhibits a reduced risk of cracks or so-called piping in the laminate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2011Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: Danapak Flexibles A/SInventors: Palle Schmidt, Peter Johansen, Else Dydensborg, Ole Brødsgaard, Benjamin Waedeled, Lars Christensen

Publication number: 20070293742Abstract: This invention relates to an system for self treatment. The system consists of several portable modules where one of the modules is designated as a master module. The master module controls, supervises and monitors all the mutual information and data exchange between itself and the rest of the modules. The modules can e.g. consist of a BGM, a doser and a storage container. The modules may be able to generate and store data which is transmitted to the master module if it is within range. If the master module is not within range, the data is kept locally in the module until the master module is available. The master module can send the data to an external unit like a computer or database for further processing. A physician or an expert care-team can access the data in the database and give guidance to the patient on the basis of these processed data. This processing could also be done automatically by utilization of an expert system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Jan Simonsen, Jens Poulsen, Kent Rokkjaer, Lars Christensen, Soren Aasmul, Steffen Lav
