Patent CA-2442243-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCRAE PETER D A
IPC: B01J20/28
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: A new shaped activated carbon and the method of its manufacture are disclosed.  The invention resides in the crosslinking of a polymeric cellulose, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), within the carbon bodies after they are shaped, employing the CMC as a binder for the activated carbon. The approach to attain product mechanical strength and water stability by crosslinking rather than high temperature heat treatment is not obvious from the prior art teaching. The crosslinking reaction occurs at temperatures below 270 ~C. In addition, this new binder technology produces shaped carbon bodies having key properties beyond the best level that has been accomplished with other binders.

Title: Combined weather seal, light block and wear insert for overhead door panel
Inventor: STONE JEFFREY W
IPC: E05D7/10
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: An overhead door (10) and associated mating panels (14) include enhanced wear surfaces and protection against the intrusion of climatic elements or the like in the form of a combined weather seal, light block and wear insert (12) on the upper and/or lower edges (16, 18) of the mating adjacent door panels (14).  The wear surfaces are utilized during the opening and closing of the door (10) so that frictional interaction or rubbing between the mating edges (16, 18) is minimized to reduce wear and damage to the panels (14) over the service life of the door (10). Additionally, the wear insert portion (58, 60) reduces a gap (50) between the mating edges (16, 18) of the adjacent panels (14) to provide enhanced protection without requiring increased roll forming tolerances on the panel manufacturing process. Moreover, the invention includes upright projecting weather seal (64) and light blocking portions (66) that are positioned in a gap formed at the juncture of the mating panels. When the door (10) is closed, the weather seal and light blocking portions (64, 66) are deflected. The weather seal (64) provides a climatic barrier as well as inhibiting the passage of foreign material between the mated panels (14) and the light block (66) inhibits light from passing between the mated panels (14).

Abstract: A dunnage bag is fabricated of thermoplastic sheet material joined together to form an air cushion including being joined to form an inflation panel edge seam. An inflation opening to the air cushion is defined between two layers of thermoplastic sheet material adjacent a terminus of the panel edge seam. Two layers of the thermoplastic sheet material extend from the inflation panel edge seam and inflation opening, and the two layers are joined together by an inflation panel seam pattern to form an inflation panel. The inflation panel seam pattern further defines an inflation area communicating with the inflation opening and with an inflation valve sealed to the inflation panel in the inflation area, for supplying inflation air from the inflation valve through the inflation panel and into the air cushion. The inflation area is preferably an elongated sinuous tube. This configuration protects the inflation valve and contributes to the integrity of the dunnage bag. The thermoplastic sheet material is substantially transparent, so that cargo inspections may be made without removing the dunnage bags.
