  • Publication number: 20110306712
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a polycarbonate resin composition that is thin but has high flame retardancy and surface hardness for which a hard coating layer is not required, causes less gas generation in molding, has excellent heat resistance, preservation stability, and recyclability, and does not contain bromine and phosphate flame retardants, and to provide a molded product thereof. [Solving Means] A polycarbonate resin composition includes, as a main resin material, an aromatic polycarbonate resin occupying 85 to 95 mass % of the main resin material and having a weight-average molecular weight of 37000 to 55000 in polystyrene equivalent molecular weight, and a polystyrene resin occupying 15 to 5 mass % of the main resin material and containing no rubber component. A resin component other than the above may be contained resulting from recycled materials as long as the characteristics of the resin composition are not impaired.

  • Patent number: 8070676
    Abstract: A surgical access device includes an access seal comprising an ultra gel elastomeric material formed of a mixture comprising a triblock copolymer and an oil. The access seal is adapted to be disposed relative to the abdominal wall. At least one access channel is formed through the elastomeric material between a proximal portion and a distal portion of the access seal. The access channel when operatively disposed forms at least a portion of a working channel between a location external to the abdominal wall and a location internal to the abdominal wall. The elastomeric material of the access seal is adapted to conform to a surface of an instrument inserted through the working channel to provide instrument access to the abdominal cavity while maintaining insufflation pressure in the abdominal cavity. The access channel is configured to self seal in the absence of any instrument extending through the access channel.

  • Patent number: 8058342
    Abstract: Sealing compositions and application methods for sealing and protecting asphalt roof shingles or other porous roofing and construction materials are described for eliminating algae, mold and mildew, increasing granular adhesion, providing additional UV protection and significantly increasing the wind resistance of the roof or other construction material. The sealing composition includes an acrylic polymer that has been modified by a silicone surfactant to alter its wetting properties so as to promote wicking of the sealer under asphalt shingles and at open edges to prevent curling and water infiltration. The method of applying the sealing composition promotes uniform distribution of the product on the surface of installed roofs as well as enhances bonding between individual shingles by improved penetration on and between shingle layers to increase adhesion area.
