IPC: E04B1/86

Abstract: A laminated acoustic building panel comprises a pair of plasterboard substrates (10,13) which are bonded together by an adhesive layer (16), the panel having a dynamic Young's modulus of 0.1 to 5 GPa and a damping loss factor of 5 - 30% (q =  0.05 - 0.3), and the ratio of the adhesive (16) to the applied surface area of the substrates (10,13) being 80 - 250 g/m2. The laminated panel is relatively soft in construction and hence sound waves caused by knocking or impact noise is surprisingly damped using considerably less adhesive (16) than known panels. The use of soft substrates (10,13) and less adhesive (16) significantly reduces the weight of the panel. Furthermore, the use of less adhesive (16) significantly reduces costs and makes production easier.

Abstract: A latch mechanism (10) comprises a male coupling member ( 12), and a female coupling member (14). The latch mechanism ( 10) is coupled/de-coupled by inserting/withdrawing male coupling member from female coupling member, by movement in a first direction A-A.  A latch (20), here comprising a plate (44) and two prongs (42), is slidably mounted on the male coupling member (12), for movement in a second direction B-B. A  compression spring (21) biases the latch ( 20) so that the prongs (42) are exposed at the distal end of the male coupling member (12). Catch channels shown here as two holes (22) that extend in the second direction B-B for receiving the prongs (42) are formed in the female coupling member. In use, the latch mechanism (10) is coupled by relative movement in the first direction between the male and female coupling members. When the probe is fully inserted, the prongs of the latch are aligned with the holes (22). Consequently, due to the bias of the spring (21), the prongs (42) enter the holes (22). Because the second direction is inclined to the first direction, when in the mated position, de-coupling of the latch mechanism by relative movement in the first direction A-A is prevented by engagement between the prongs (42) and the holes (22).

Title: Polymerization of isoprene from renewable resources
Inventor: MCAULIFFE JOSEPH C
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 2010-06-16
Abstract: The invention features compositions and methods for producing polymers of isoprene derived from renewable resources such as isoprene produced from cultured cells that use renewable carbon sources. A starting isoprene composition, such as a bioisoprene composition, is distinguished from petroleum based isoprene by the purity profile (such as lower levels of certain C5 hydrocarbons other than isoprene, presence of certain compounds associated with the biological process for production) and the relative content of the carbon isotopes. Polymers obtained by polymerization of such starting isoprene composition according to this invention, such as a polyisoprene homopolymer or a copolymer having repeat units that are derived from isoprene, are distinguishable from isoprene containing polymers from petrochemical resources. The present invention more specifically discloses a polyisoprene polymer which is comprised of repeat units that are derived from isoprene monomer, wherein the polyisoprene polymer has d13C value of greater than -22. This type of polyisoprene can be a cis-1,4-polyisoprene homopolymer rubber. Also provided are methods for verifying that a polyisoprene homopolymer or a copolymer having repeat units that are derived from isoprene contains isoprene that is from a sustainable renewable non- petroleum derived source.
