Title: Hot melt adhesive having controllable water solubility
Inventor: WANG BAOYU
IPC: C09J7/38
Filed: 1999-10-20
Granted: 2003-05-08
Abstract: A water sensitive hot melt adhesive composition based on polyalkyleneimine copolymers for use with articles such as paper products, disposable nonwoven products, tapes, labels and packaging materials. By varying the amount of copolymer included in the composition as well as by varying the chain structure and the ratio of soluble versus insoluble repeating units in the copolymer, an adhesive may be formulated to modify the degree of solubility from 100% to 0% soluble in water and/or other performance characteristics. The adhesive composition includes about 10% to about 70%, by weight, of a polyalkyleneimine copolymer or a blend of one or more polyalkyleneimine copolymers; about 0% to about 70%, by weight, of a tackifying resin; about 10% to about 70%, by weight, of a compatible plasticizer; and about 0.1% to about 3% by weight of one or more antioxidant. The adhesive maintains the article in an assembled condition by providing adequate adhesive bond strength during normal use, but dissolves in the presence of water thereby permitting the article to be recycled or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

Title: Steel casting using a co2 gas protective shroud
Inventor: SAVARD GUY
IPC: B22D1/00
Filed: 1985-02-21
Granted: 1988-06-23
Abstract: Molten steel, normally exposed to an atmosphere of air, is protected against pick-up of impurities by placing carbon dioxide gas in such quantities and in such proximity to the surface to cause dissociation of the carbon dioxide at a rate which furnishes an atmosphere of carbon monoxide and gives off a negligible amount of oxygen to the steel, thus providing a gas barrier or shroud isolating the steel from the surrounding atmosphere and preventing pick-up therefrom of oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen. This method may be applied to protecting steel being transferred from a ladle to a mold, or from a ladle to a tundish and from the tundish to a mold in continuous casting. In a method where a number of shrouding operations are carried out in series, carbon dioxide vapor, under pressure, is bled, in increments, from a storage vessel containing a body of liquid carbon dioxide in overlying ullage space containing vapor. Each increment is superheated, after it leaves the vessel, and is ultimately expanded and dispersed at ambient temperature to form the shroud. As each increment of vapor is removed from the vessel, it is replaced by withdrawing liquid carbon dioxide, vaporizing it and returning it to the ullage space.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US93/05922 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 13, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 13, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 3, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/28882 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 22, 1994.A unit dosage form of capsule, tablet or the like is composed of a large number of pellets made up of two or more populations of pellets or particles. Each pellet contains a core containing the therapeutic drug and a water soluble osmotic agent. A water-permeable, water-insoluble polymer film encloses each core. Incorporated into the polymer film is a hydrophobic, water insoluble agent which alters the permeability of the polymer film. The film coating of each population of pellets differs from the coating of every other population of pellets in the dosage form in the rate at which water passes through to the core and the rate at which drug diffuses out of the core. The osmotic agent dissolves in the water, causing the pellet to swell and regulating the rate of diffusion of drug into the environment of use. As each population of pellets releases its drug into the environment sequentially, the effect is to provide a series of pulsatile administrations of the drug from a single dosage form.

Title: Method and apparatus for drying low rank coals
Inventor: GREENE MONTOE MALCOLM
IPC: C10L9/00
Filed: 1985-12-02
Granted: 1989-05-18
Abstract: Process and apparatus are disclosed for removing a substantial portion of water and impurities from low rank coal and peat, whereby an improved coal or peat product (not found in nature) is obtained. The low rank coal and peat are subjected to a superheated gaseous medium, thereby substantially desorbing the moisture from the coal or peat and producing superheated gases. A substantial portion of the superheated gases produced are recycled back in contact with the coal being dried. Sufficient heat is added to the recycled gases, in response to monitoring, so that the recycled gases are maintained in a substantially superheated condition throughout. This process produces a dried, substantially purified product which retains a substantial portion of its volatile content, which has an improved heat value per unit weight, and which will not absorb substantial moisture when stored or transported. 
<??>In one embodiment, the process utilizes superheated steam to initiate the drying process. In another embodiment, that minor portion of the superhreated gases in excess of the original volume not being recycled are recovered, and the fuel content thereof is used to provide energy for reheating the gases being recycled. In yet another embodiment, the processes are maintained at low pressures of under approximately 50 inches water column pressure. 
<??>The process and apparatus provided also removes a substantial portion of the impurities such as sulfur, from the low rank coals and peat. The dried product may be cooled, and the impurities may be separated therefrom.

Title: Automated material distribution control for stretch blow molded articles
Inventor: DAVIS CRAIG
IPC: B29C49/06
Filed: 2001-07-24
Granted: 2004-11-04
Abstract: A method for inspecting the material distribution of a sequence of stretch blow molded containers (28) or other articles in a continuous production process, by providing injection molded parisons (10), each parison having at least one indicator (22), typically two or more indicators (2), for detecting material distribution at a predetermined position along the axial extent of the parison. Each of the parisons (10) is subjected to a heating stage in the continuous production process, generally by exposure to infrared heating (72,21). Each heated parison (10) is then subjected to a blow molding process, which can be a stretch blow molding process, so that each material distribution indicator is transformed to a corresponding position along the axial extent of the blow molded article (28). A detector (50) is positioned to detect the location of each indicator (22) on each blow molded article (28) from a given mold (25) in the production process. A computation is then made to determine for each blow molded article (28) a material distribution outcome or profile based on the detected locations of each indicator (22). This information on material distribution is them matched to a prescribed profile for the particular container design and any discrepancy beyond some preset tolerance value is employed to reject the out of tolerance item from the production line, and to modify a step of the manufacturing process such as the infrared heating pattern. <IMAGE>
