Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating microscopic patterns of macromolecules such as proteins on a solid surface are described. Pulsed laser light is used to alter surface portions of a solid surface substrate in a predetermined pattern by removing macromolecules from surface portions of the substrate where the light is focused. The same wavelength light at lower intensity can be used to visualize the removal by its reflection from the specimen surface along the path to the detector. Select macromolecules introduced to the substrate selectively adhere to select surface portions, thereby depositing macromolecules in the predetermined pattern on the solid surface.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In order to provide a liner which can be used in place of existing type liners used in a closure for a container, a multiple layer liner sheet is coextruded in a manner wherein the outer layers are skin layers formed of a gas permeable material. These layers enclose a gas barrier layer and a foamed layer which respectively prevent the invasion of oxygen from the ambient atmosphere and remove oxygen from the head space to safeguard the contents of the container. The foamed layer provides the liner with the required resiliency, provides space for the inclusion of an adequate amount of oxygen scavenging material, and also provides a cellular structure which allows the gas molecules the freedom to move and quickly come into contact with the oxygen scavenging material.

Abstract: An innerseal is provided for sealing against the lip of a container opening under a cap. The innerseal includes a resiliently-compressible porous synthetic backing layer which fits within the cap, a foil layer, and a wax layer which initially holds the foil and backing layers together. Preferably, a heat-activatable adhesive layer is disposed against the foil layer. The cap is tightened so that the foil layer is pressed against the lip of the container opening. Then, heat is applied to melt the wax and to activate the adhesive layer. This molten wax is absorbed into the synthetic backing layer so that the backing layer and foil layer are separatable by a twisting of the cap. The synthetic backing layer provides improved strength and liquid resistance characteristics over pulpboard type seals, and is cuttable with less dust.

The inner seal includes a metallic foil layer which heats up almost instantaneously, and a foam layer which thermally insulates the foil layer from the contents of the container which may be in contact with the inner seal. The foam layer is compressed, and is consequently a poorer thermal insulator, where it contacts the land area of the neck of the container to which it is being sealed.

Abstract: The present invention employs a plastic snap-on cap which engages the neck crown and is internally threaded to engage the neck threads of a conventional container. A foam gasket under the top of the cap prevents leakage by sealing against the neck lip. The cap has internal threads which snap over and then engage under the neck threads. Vertical "barriers" below the cap threads prevent unscrewing the cap so long as the cap skirt is intact. Score lines extend from the bottom edge of the cap skirt to above the internal cap bead which engages the neck crown and extend up to the cap threads. A tear tab is used to tear a vertical strip of the skirt which extends up between the score lines. The cap is thus tamper-evident since it cannot be removed so long as the cap is intact but can be removed by tearing the aforementioned strip. In one modification, a well is formed in the center of the cap.

Abstract: The present invention employs a plastic snap-on cap which engages both the neck crown of a container having a rectangular body and a neck having screw threads and is internally threaded to engage the neck threads of the conventional container. A foam gasket under the top of the cap prevents leakage by sealing against the neck lip. The cap has internal threads which snap over and then engage under the neck threads. Vertical "barriers" below the cap threads prevent unscrewing the cap so long as the cap skirt is intact. Score lines extend from the bottom edge of the cap skirt to above the internal cap bead which engages the neck crown and extend up to the cap threads. A tear tab is used to tear a vertical strip of the skirt which extends up between the score lines. The cap is thus tamper-evident since it cannot be removed so long as the cap is intact but can be removed by tearing the aforementioned strip. In one modification, a well is formed in the center of the cap.

Abstract: A bottle assembly for storing and retailing a liquid substance such as fabric bleach that generates gases when it is heated or contaminated. The bottle of the assembly has a neck on which a closure cap may be screwed. The neck is closed by a peelable seal made of porous plastic foam such as polystyrene, which is fixed by a pressure adhesive across the neck and sized so as to be easily graspable and peelable with two fingers with a reduced risk of contact with the substance within the bottle. Another seal made of the same porous foam is freely mounted within the cap to allow the bottle to be sealed again in a permanent manner after the peelable seal has been removed. Both seals prevents the bottle from bulging and from leaking if it is inadvertantly knocked over.

Abstract: An oxygen scavenger comprises an oxygen absorbent composition and an oxygen permeable film covering the oxygen absorbent composition and including an asymmetric porous membrane whose outer surface portion in the thickness direction of the asymmetric porous membrane is formed as a dense skin layer. Since the dense skin layer is very thin, the oxygen permeability to the oxygen absorbent composition through the oxygen permeable film can be maintained sufficiently high. At the same time, since the dense skin layer has a sufficiently high barrier property as well as a high oxygen permeability, contact of the substances stored in a container with the oxygen absorbent composition can be surely prevented. The substances stored in the container attached with the oxygen scavenger can be prevented from deterioration due to the oxygen present in the container by a high oxygen absorption ability of the scavenger, and maintained in a good or fresh condition for a long term.

Abstract: A commercially available seal disc of foil or thin plastic is inserted in a temper-evident plastic bottle cap prior to its being applied to a container neck. The cap has an internal, horizontal upper locking bead as well as a lower locking bead which lock under shoulders on the neck of the container.

When the cap is applied to the container neck, the seal disc adheres to the container neck. Neither the internal cap beads nor the lugs interfere with retention of the disc on the neck as the cap is removed.
