Abstract: A process for fabricating a composite vessel includes the steps of: A) preforming (e.g., by winding fiber and at least one thermoplastic substance onto a thermoplastic liner) a thermoplastic shell which has at least one opening for access to the interior; B) extruding a circular cross section of a fluid parison of thermoplastic material (which preferably is chosen to have a melting point lower than that of the thermoplatic shell) into the interior of the thermoplastic shell through the opening; C) in a mold, applying at least one force (such as gas under pressure) which tends to urge the fluid parison toward the interior walls of the thermoplastic shell (which may be preheated prior to introduction into the mold) such that the fluid parison imparts heat to the thermoplastic shell; D) continuing step C) until the thermoplastic shell and the fluid parison consolidate to form a composite vessel; E) cooling the vessel until it is solidified; and F) removing the vessel from the mold. For some composite vessels, prior to step C), an insert may be introduced into the interior of the parison and positioned in alignment with the opening in the thermoplastic shell such that the insert is rendered integral with the composite vessel during step D). Suitable thermoplastic materials include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate. The resulting composite vessel exhibits superior mechanical and aesthetic properties.

Title: Structures and processes for packaging perishable and other products
Inventor: HOBBS JOHN KERRY
IPC: B65B43/44
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: Packaging and processes for facilitating fast, efficient, and reliable production line packaging of products, and more particularly perishable products including meat products. Product trays according to the present invention are formed of non-foam plastic material with three dimensional structure and configuration that imparts an esthetically pleasing appearance and feel to the customer at the point of sale, as well as offering to the consumer a container that is microwavable, dishwasher safe and freezer safe in addition, if desired, to being recyclable. Such packaging and processes are particularly useful in newly emerging automated supply chains where inventory sales are tracked to support centralized processing of meat and other perishable products at centralized facilities for shipment to geographically distant points of sale. In these situations, the packaging must present the requisite esthetic, convenience and performance qualities to the customer at the point of sale even after having been loaded into a shipment container, transported often by truck over hundreds of miles, unpacked and placed in the product display case. Non-foam containers according to the present invention can accomplish these results by featuring separation structure to permit manufacture, storage, stacking, shipment, and dispensing on processing lines with minimum chance or potential of the sort of locking together which can otherwise occur with non-foam containers.

Title: Process for continuous cooking of pulp
Inventor: GUSTAVSSON LENNART
IPC: D21C7/14
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for continuous cooking of wood chips at elevated pressure and temperature in a vertical digester (1) for production of chemically dissolved pulp. Fibre material and cooking liquor are introduced at the top of the digester and pulp is discharged from the bottom of the digester (1), via a line (8) in which the pulp is maintained at substantially the same pressure level, to a pressurized wash (7) . More than 50% of the used cooking liquor (black liquor) which is extracted from the system in total is extracted from the wash filtrate of the pressurized wash. At the same time a small portion of the wash filtrate is also to be recirculated to the bottom of the digester as dilution liquid. The pressurized wash is regulated so that a high temperature is maintained in the wash filtrate. The extraction is regulated so that a net co-current flow is established at the bottom of the digester. The invention permits increased production in overloaded digesters where substantial extractions of cooking liquor from the digester are made difficult by the increased pulp speed down through the digester.

Title: Humanin, a polypeptide suppressing neuronal death
Inventor: NISHIMOTO IKUO
IPC: A61P25/00
Filed: 2000-09-14
Abstract: A polypeptide which inhibits nerve cell death in association with Alzheimer' s disease. By using a nerve cell system capable of inducing the expression of familial Alzheimer's disease variant APP by treating with ecdysone, a gene having an activity of protecting the nerve cells from cell death is successfully isolated. This gene encodes a secretory polypeptide consisting of 24 amino acids. This polypeptide shows an activity of inhibiting nerve cell death caused by the expression of an APP variant and a presenilin variant. This polypeptide also inhibits cell death caused by A.beta. in primary nerve  culture. By modifying the amino acids of this polypeptide, moreover, the cel l death inhibitory activity can be significantly elevated. These polypeptides and derivatives thereof are useful as medicines for preventing nerve cell death in association with Alzheimer's disease and as seed compounds for developing novel medicines for Alzheimer's disease.
