Abstract: A composite structure comprising a preformed flexible laminate in adhering contact with at least a first and second transparent or translucent panel members such as would be useful as an insulated glass unit. The flexible laminate contains an undulating spacer element either partially or totally embedded within a core material and has a polymeric coating on at least one surface thereof. The flexible laminate effectively seals the interior of the panel structure from air and/or moisture and maintains a desired distance between the panels. A multi-cavity extrusion die for forming the preformed flexible laminate has a core cavity for receiving the core material as well as the undulating continuous spacer element. Converging walls within the core cavity serve to embed at least one side of the spacer element in the core material and a land area forms a desired shape or configuration wherein the spacer element undulation is maintained. At least one polymeric feed cavity located downstream from said core cavity and said land area applies a polymeric film or coating to at least a surface of the embedded spacer element. A plurality of optional feed cavities can apply the same or different polymers to additional surfaces of the embedded spacer element and can totally cover or encapsulate the same.

Title: Method and packaging utilizing calcium cyanamide for soil treatment
Inventor: HARTMAN RICHARD O W
IPC: C05C7/00
Filed: 1997-10-20
Granted: 2005-12-14
Abstract: Processes and structures for using calcium cyanamide fertilizer in a manner to greatly enhance its most effective soil treatment form prior to its application. Calcium cyanamide transformation structures have both fertilizing and pesticidal qualities; however, it is difficult to obtain uniform, efficient effectiveness from dry calcium cyanamide's liquid transformation structures. In the process of this invention, dry, dusty granules and fines of calcium cyanamide are placed directly into tanks of liquid for transformation or within biodegradable bags through which water can freely flow. The bags are submerged in a tank of water. The insoluble calcium and carbon components thereof remain as solid residuals within the bags. Hydrolysis occurs and the solution is biocidal and ready for immediate application. The solution can be sprayed or irrigated onto a targeted soil area with conventional dispersal equipment. The remaining non-dissolved material in the bags can be dispersed on and into the plant crop soil. Additives of other fertilizers into the above solution can be used to enhance effectiveness. When the calcium cyanamide is placed directly into the liquid, the mixture will become slurry-like. In the processes herein, when the solids of calcium cyanamide are not isolated during hydrolysis, the slurry mixture is utilized in recent modern specialized solids fertilizer suspension dispersed equipment having sufficient agitation to keep the solids in suspension.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une prothèse conçue pour être fixée à un os et à un procédé de fabrication d'une telle prothèse consistant en l'addition d'un plastifiant biocompatible à un film de PMMA et/ou à un ciment osseux, qui de préférence fait l'objet d'une copolymérisation avec le film de PMMA et/ou le ciment osseux. De préférence, ce plastifiant contient le monomère hydrophile, biocompatible, recommandé par le secrétariat américain aux produits alimentaires et pharmaceutiques (FDA food and drug administration), dénommé méthacrylate de 2-dihydroxyéthyle (ou 'HEMA'), ainsi que l'eau associée audit monomère. HEMA possède la capacité d'absorber l'eau. Un aspect important de cette invention réside dans cette capacité d'absorption de l'eau qui se traduit par la possibilité de mesurer et de réguler la plastification. Dans une réalisation de la présente invention, le plastifiant (HEMA et l'eau qui lui est associée) subit une copolymérisation avec le film de PMMA de manière à former un revêtement PMMA/HEMA qui est de préférence utilisé en tant que revêtement de prothèse osseuse. Dans une autre réalisation, le plastifiant (HEMA et l'eau qui lui est associée) subit une copolymérisation avec un ciment osseux à base de PMMA de manière à former un ciment osseux à base de PMMA/HEMA. Conformément à la présente invention, une face d'un film copolymère de PMMA/HEMA est placée sur au moins une partie de la surface d'un élément prothétique. L'autre face du film copolymère forme une surface de liaison, conçue pour être ancrée sur un os par un ciment osseux. De préférence, ou utilise un ciment osseux copolymère de PMMA/HEMA pour faire adhérer solidement la prothèse à l'os. Le rapport des poids respectifs du PMMA et du HEMA du film de liaison copolymère ou du ciment osseux n'est pas critique; néanmoins, la proportion de HEMA devrait se située dans une plage comprise entre 2 % et 99 %.

Abstract: The present invention is a window regulator mechanism for vertically moving a window panel mounted within a motor vehicle door. The mechanism comprises an elongated guide rail member mounted within the vehicle door and having a base portion with a pair of side flange portions. A first of the pair of side flange portions has a nose portion extending laterally outwardly therefrom. A second of the pair of side flange portions has a convex exterior surface. A window moving structure engages the window panel and has a base member and a pair of side leg portions extending from opposing sides thereof. One of the side leg portions has a nose-receiving groove formed in an inwardly facing surface thereof. The window moving structure is slidably mounted on the guide rail member. A manually operable actuating mechanism is constructed to slidably move the window moving structure vertically along the guide rail member. The nose portion of the guide rail member is received within the nose-receiving groove of the window moving structure and the convex exterior surface of the guide rail member is slidably engaged with an inwardly facing surface of another of the side leg portions of the window moving structure opposite the nose-receiving groove such that (1) relative pivotal movement between the guide rail member and the window moving structure about a fixed pivot axis extending longitudinally through the nose portion is permitted and (2) relative movement between the guide rail member and the window moving structure in a radial direction with respect to the fixed pivot axis is substantially restricted to thereby reduce vibrations which occur as a result of forcibly moving the vehicle door into closing engagement with a motor vehicle body.
