Patent number: 7588800Abstract: A coating may be incorporated in a molded composite article made via a process in which neither the coating nor the resin contact the mold surface. A multilayer sandwich structure is formed having two outside layers of flexible membranes, typically made of silicon. An interior dissolvable film is disposed between the two outer flexible membranes. A layer of fiber reinforcement is disposed between the dissolvable film and one of the flexible membranes. A coating is distributed between a flexible membrane and the dissolvable film, opposite the side having the reinforcement, wherein the film is only slowly soluble, or insoluble, in the coating. The coating is allowed to at least partially cure and a resin is infused through the reinforcement wherein the dissolvable film rapidly dissolves in the resin. The sandwich structure is formed around a mold and the resin is allowed to cure.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Cook Composites & Polymers Co.Inventor: L.

Publication number: 20090022985Abstract: The present invention provides a receptacle (30) for a therapeutic fluid susceptible to deterioration on exposure to a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide. The receptacle (30) has walls of sheet material each including at least one layer forming a barrier essentially impermeable to such gas, and a seal sealing the walls together in a region thereof. A transfer tube (40) is sealed in the seal having a proximal end in the receptacle (30), a distal end accessible from outside the receptacle (30), a flow passage (56) extending between said proximal and distal ends, and a closure (54) blocking flow through the flow passage (56) adapted to be pierced by a tubular needle for transfer of therapeutic through the needle. The transfer tube (40) and closure (54) are essentially impermeable to said gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2008Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicants: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC., BAXTER HEALTHCARE S.A.Inventors: Sidney T. Smith, Larry Rosenbaum, Gregg Nebgen, Steven H. Giovanetto, Sue Rosenbaum

Publication number: 20090017322Abstract: A three dimensional molded article with a compound curvature having a composite wall with at least one contour having a depth to width ratio of at least about 0.2. The composite wall is formed of highly drawn thermoplastic tapes with thermoplastic films disposed on the outside of the tapes. The tapes have a highly drawn interior layer and exterior layers with a peak melting temperature below the peak melting temperature of the inner layer. The composite wall has a thickness of at least eight tapes which can be formed in layers of woven fabrics. The tapes are fused together and the film layers are fused to the exterior of the tapes. The films have inner surfaces that can fuse together, and outer surfaces that can fuse together. In this manner, when the film folds over itself in the molding process, the outer surface of the film bonds to itself and against the tapes to provide a smooth continuous layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2007Publication date: January 15, 2009Inventors: Heather J. Hayes, Howell B. Eleazer, Elizabeth Cates

Patent number: 7476428Abstract: A gas barrier packaging laminate having durability to stress crack formation and yet a bending stiffness and good integrity between the laminate layers, includes outer layers of heat-sealable polyolefin, two polymer carrier layers each being coated with a SiOx gas barrier layer, and an intermediate polymer layer that includes at least first and second part-layers. The first part-layer has a higher stiffness than the second part-layer, and the second part-layer has higher elastomeric properties than the first part-layer. A stiff structural sandwich construction is formed by the two stiff carrier layers separated by the intermediate layer that is also shock absorbing to prevent stress-cracking of the SiOx layers. A packaging container manufactured from the packaging laminate and a method of manufacturing of the packaging laminate are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2005Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Tetra—Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Monika Bürki, Torsten Olofsson

Patent number: 7476447Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved elastic materials. More specifically, the present invention is directed to low basis weight elastic webs, such as elastic films and elastomeric fibrous meltblown or spunbond webs which may include elastomeric fibers and/or elastomeric continuous filaments. The present invention is also directed to laminate structures which include the elastic webs. The elastic webs include an elastomeric block copolymer and a polyolefin wax, and do not include a tackifier. The low basis weight elastic webs of the present invention may display tension values upon elongation equal to or greater than the tension values of previously known elastic webs of greater basis weight. The elastic laminate structures of the present invention comprise at least one layer an elastic web adhesively bonded to one or more other webs, such as, for instance a woven or nonwoven web.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Inventor: Oomman P. Thomas

Patent number: 7473472Abstract: A sulfur-crosslinkable adhesive composition of the non-aqueous type, that is to say not requiring the presence of water, usable for direct bonding of a pregelled polyester or vinyl ester composite to rubber in the uncured state. The composition comprises polyvinylpyridine-styrene-butadiene elastomer (“p-VSBR”) in combination with a polyester or vinyl ester resin. Preferably, the resin used is a novolak and/or bisphenol based resin of the epoxy vinyl ester type. This composition, unlike conventional RFL adhesives, does not require any activation treatment, such as intermediate drying, at the time of use. A process for preparing such an adhesive composition, use of said composition for the manufacture of laminated composite parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Conception et Developpment Michelin S.A.Inventors: Philippe Chenaux, Antonio Delfino
