Patent number: 11939129Abstract: Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming a beverage carrier yoke are described. The yoke comprises a number (e.g., four or six) collars interconnected by a web, and each collar exhibits dimensions—including a nominal diameter and a substantially uniform thickness—selected to improve strength and increase comfort. The yoke is produced using a slurry comprising a moisture barrier and a fiber base.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: FOOTPRINT INTERNATIONAL, LLCInventors: Yoke Dou Chung, Brandon Michael Moore, Yiyun Zhang, Michael Theodore Lembeck

Publication number: 20240026083Abstract: The invention relates to a poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PAES) copolymer (P2) with ionically and/or covalently attached bioactive compound(s), articles comprising (P2), methods of making (P2), and methods for making articles such as membranes comprising (P2). Functionalized side-chain PAES copolymers (P1) permit the immobilization of a bioactive compound on copolymer's functionalized side chains for preparing bioactive articles. In particular, an antithrombotic agent such as heparin may be immobilized to form a bioactive membrane structure suitable for hemodialysis to avoid or eliminate the injection of such antithrombotic agent to a patient undergoing hemodialysis. Preferred embodiments include heparinized PAES copolymers and membranes comprising them.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Kamlesh P. NAIR, Goliver DeJESUS, Theodore MOORE, Emanuele DI NICOLO', Keshav S. GAUTAM
