Title: Foamed sheet containing a styrenic copolymer
Inventor: HARRIS DON THOMAS
IPC: C06B21/00
Filed: 2005-12-13
Abstract: A foamed sheet containing a polymer composition including a polymer formed by polymerizing a mixture including 40% to 90% of styrenic monomers; 5% to 45% of maleate-type monomers; 0.1 % to 25% by weight of elastomeric polymers with Mn greater than 6,000; and 0.1 % to 10% by weight of low molecular weight polymers that include one or more monomers according to the formula CH2=CR3R2, where R3 is H or a C1-C3 alkyl group and R2 is a C1-C22 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl groups. The low molecular weight polymer has Mn of from 400 to 6,000 and can optionally include functional groups. The foamed sheet is made by injecting blowing agents into the polymer melt composition;  mixing the blowing agent with the polymer composition; and extruding the mixture to provide a foamed sheet. The foamed sheets can be thermoformed into containers suitable for use in microwave heating of food. Fig. 2 is a photomicrograph of a cross-section of a foamed sheet according the invention.
Patent CA-2598055-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PALOSAARI VEIKKO
IPC: C22B3/10
Filed: 2006-02-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering gold from a sulphidic concentrate, particularly one containing arsenopyrite and/or pyrite, hydro-metallurgically. The concentrate is first subjected to leaching with a concentrated solution of alkali chloride and copper (II) chloride, by means of which the copper minerals and some of the gold in the concentrate are made to dissolve. Elemental sulphur and precipitated iron and arsenic compounds are separated from the leaching residue using physical separation methods, whereby the first intermediate is obtained, which contains gold- bearing sulphide minerals and gangue minerals as well as the gold that remains undissolved. The free gold that remains undissolved is separated by means of gravity separation methods. After gravity separation, additional comminution is carried out, after which the sulphide minerals are decomposed and the gold-containing solution or residue is routed to the concentrate leaching circuit.

Abstract: A reed valve for an internal combustion engine has petals which are curved, such that each petal has a concave surface that faces a concave surface of another petal. The curvature of the petals makes the petals more responsive to changes in pressure, thus enabling the valve to begin to open or close more rapidly. The petals preferably have a permanent curvature, and may also be tapered, so that their thickness is least at their distal ends. The reed valve made with the petals described above enhances the performance of internal combustion engines.

Title: Method for assessing improvement in hand hygiene practices
Inventor: TAYLOR PATRICIA A
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2006-06-12
Abstract: A method for assessing improvement in hand hygiene practices using sanitation solution dispensers deployed within in healthcare facilities or the like. Each dispenser has an associated counter producing a count indicative of a hand sanitizing event. Other data acquired impacts the number of anticipated hand sanitation events in the particular area of interest. From this data, a number of anticipated hand sanitation events is determined. Finally, a determination is made, from information obtained through actual observation, of the number of opportunities that healthcare workers will have for hand sanitation in that area over a particular period of time. A performance index, indicative of compliance with hand hygiene protocol, is then obtained by dividing the difference between the actual number of hand sanitizing events and the number of anticipated hand hygiene events by the number of opportunities for such hand hygiene events. This index may indicate improvement or regression in hand hygiene practices.
