Title: Foamed aerosol preparation
Inventor: NAKAGAWA AKIRA
IPC: A61K8/04
Filed: 1990-07-23
Granted: 1992-10-08
Abstract: A foamed aerosol preparation for use as the base of cosmetics, quasi drugs, medicines, and so forth, which comprises 0.1 to 5 w/v% of a surfactant, 0.05 to 10 w/v% of a lower alcohol and/or a glycol, 3 to 25 w/v% of water, and 60 to 95 w/v% of n-butane gas. Despite of the use of n-butane gas as the propellant, this preparation lathers very well and is excellent in cracking sound when applied to the skin. Furthermore it is particularly useful from the viewpoint of environmental protection, because it is free from the problem of the depletion of the ozonosphere by virtue of the use of liquefied petroleum gas as the propellant instead of fluorocarbon gas heretofore used.

Title: Improved self-performing immunochromatographic device
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 1990-10-05
Granted: 1993-06-10
Abstract: Improved chromatographic strip binding assay devices are provided for determining the presence or amount of an analyte present in a patient sample. Assay label reagents interact with capture reagents immobilized in a testing region on the strip substrate to generate a visually detectable image indicative of the test result. The test result images include a minus sign (-) to indicate a negative test result for analyte which image is generated if the suspect analyte is absent in the patient sample and a plus sign (+) to indicate a positive test result for analyte which image is generated if the suspect analyte is present or is present at a pre-determined concentration in the patient sample. The immobilized capture reagents responsible for the location and configuration of the test result images are applied to the strip at an angled orientation with respect to the fluid flow direction of the strip to ensure that sharp substantially complete test result images are formed during performance of the assay. The devices provide substantially self-performing assays having inherently clear test results which are not subject to misinterpretation by the skilled or untrained user.

IPC: B29C45/02
Filed: 1998-07-23
Granted: 2001-12-06
Abstract: Large composite structures are produced using a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. The structures incorporate cores, which may be hollow cells or foam blocks. A plurality of cores, each of which may be wrapped with a fiber material, is arranged in a layer on a mold with a fiber material arranged to form face skins. The assembly is sealed under a vacuum bag to a mold surface. One or more main feeder conduits are provided in communication with a resin distribution network of smaller channels which facilitates flow of uncured resin into and through the fiber material. The resin distribution network may comprise a network of grooves formed in the surfaces or the cores and/or rounded corners of the cores. The network of smaller channels may also be provided between the vacuum bag and the fiber material, either integrally in the vacuum bag or via a separate distribution medium. Resin, introduced under vacuum, travels relatively quickly through the main feeder channel(s) and the network of smaller channels. After penetrating the fiber material to reach the surface of the cores, the resin again travels relatively quickly along the cores via the grooves in the cores or the spaces provided by the rounded corners to penetrate the fiber material between the cores, if present, and between the cores and the mold.
