Patent CA-2351103-A1 (CA)
Title: Method of forming gel covered product
Inventor: VAN HATTEN PAUL NORMAN
IPC: B29C45/16
Filed: 2001-06-18
Abstract: In a method of forming a gel filled product, which can be used for example as an armrest in an office chair, an insert body of gel material is molded in a first mold.      The insert body is removed from the first mold and placed in a second mold which is oversized relative to the insert body. This leaves a cover molding space exteriorly of the insert body within the second mold.   Covering material such as urethane is then molded in the cover molding space of the second mold onto the insert body.

Title: Weather seal having elastomeric material encapsulating a bendable core
Inventor: HOPE ROBERT B
IPC: B29C48/07
Filed: 2001-12-28
Abstract: In order to reduce the cost of weather seal having a core or carrier which acts as an embedded support for the rubber-like (elastomeric) sealing material, the carrier is first contained within a substrate of low-cost rubber material, which may be applied to the core by extrusion of a substrate of recycled, reground (previously cured) rubber, preferably EPDM rubber which may include a thermoplastic olefinic material as a binder. This substrate is cohesive with an overlaying covering of uncured elastomeric material (EPDM rubber), which may be extruded over the substrate-encased carrier. The carrier, which may be sold separately or encased in the substrate, is provided to enable to the weather seal to be compressed or bent. Reinforcement elements are attached to the wire loops of the carrier, without knitting to the wire loops. The loops of the wire carrier are guided into and held in grooves in a wheel. Feed screws tangential to the wheel compress the loops. The compressed loops are brought to a process station where the reinforcement elements are applied and attached. The use of recycled cured material in a substrate and the replacement of yarn attached to a wire carrier by knitting, with overlaying reinforcement elements provides cost savings over conventional weather seal which is significant since such weather seal is used in large quantities in the automotive industry.

Patent CA-2383460-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EPSTEIN DAVID A
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to metal binding compounds which may be added to cell culture media to replace factors required for cultivation of the cells (e.g. transferrin) which are of animal or human origin. More specifically, the invention is directed to metal binding compounds or complexes thereof comprising one or more transition element cations (such as ferrous or ferric ions), which are added to cell and tissue culture medium compositions. The metal binding compounds may be added to the media alone or may be first complexed with a transition metal ion. The invention is also directed to methods of use of such compositions, including, for example, methods for the cultivation of eukaryotic cells, particularly animal cells, in vitro. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such culture media and one or more cells, and to kits comprising one or more of the above-described compositions. The compositions of the present invention obviate the need for naturally derived metal-binding proteins, such as transferrin and ceruloplasmin, which may contain blood-borne pathogens.
