  • Patent number: 8389575
    Abstract: A process is provided for producing target concentrations of peroxycarboxylic acids from carboxylic acid esters. More specifically, carboxylic acid esters are reacted with an inorganic peroxide, such as hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of an enzyme catalyst having perhydrolysis activity under conditions where control of reaction pH by selection of buffer concentration and concentration of perhydrolase and reactants produces a targeted concentration of peroxycarboxylic acids. The present perhydrolase catalysts are classified as members of the carbohydrate esterase family 7 (CE-7) based on the conserved structural features. Further, disinfectant formulations comprising the peracids produced by the processes described herein are provided, as are corresponding methods of use.

  • Patent number: 8377182
    Abstract: Gas anti-diffusion assemblies are designed to slow, but not to block, the diffusion of a gas from or to an enclosed space to or from an open space, e.g., to slow the diffusion of air into or out of the housing for a hard disk drive from or out to the exterior of the housing. The assemblies typically have a laminate structure, i.e., are constructed of individual layers adhered or otherwise joined to one another in a stacked arrangement. The assemblies typically comprise alternating layers of polymeric film and adhesive with a mesh layer sandwiched or otherwise positioned within the assembly, and optionally comprises one or both of a filter layer and an absorbent layer.
