Filed:

Mar 30, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/693994

Inventors:

Robert A. Neal - Wales ME, US
Robert B. Ray - Manchester ME, US

International Classification:

A61K 33/42
A61P 41/00

US Classification:

424601

Abstract:

A composition to inhibit the formation of adhesions that may arise at a surgical site. The composition includes an antioxidant in a carrier. The carrier is comprised of cocamide diethanolamine, diethanolamine and glycerin. The composition may include additional additives, such as euricamide and a compound including a polyethylene resin, calcium carbonate and a concentrated form of the carrier. The composition is produced by heating the carrier to a temperature, preferably about 375 F. and then adding the additives. The mixture is heated at temperature long enough to cause the antioxidant to leach into the liquid. The mixture is then cooled at room temperature and maintained in liquid form for ease of application to the surgical site where adhesion formation inhibition is desired. The composition is preferably degradable in vivo.

Abstract:

A conductive polyolefin film characterized by acceptable physicals, no pinholes, and a resistance through its thickness of less than about 100 ohms, preferably less than about 10 ohms, and a method for making the same. The film includes a structural polymeric material such as a polyolefin blended with conductive additives such as carbon filler to produce desired characteristics. The film may be surface treated to enhance its ability to bond to other materials. The process includes combining and blending a plurality of resins with different conductive carbon loaded polymers, drying the conductive resin mix to a selected moisture content, converting the conductive film resin into a fluidized solid, and forming a film. The film and method of the present invention provide films suitable for use in a range of applications, including as conductive media for electrodes in batteries and capacitors or in desalination/deionization systems. The film has an inherent property of Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistance that may be selected by selecting the ratio of structural material and conductive material, wherein the film increases in resistance at selectable voltages and limits current at a particular point, protecting batteries from short circuit, for example.

International Classification:

B61D 7302

US Classification:

206328

Abstract:

The invention features a static dissipative elastomeric outer coating for an electronic package composite. The coating is characterized by its superior abrasion resistant and electrical properties. The coating chemically bonds with the conductive layer and has superior static dissipative qualities characterized by a surface resistivity in the range of between 10. sup. 5 and 10. sup. 11 ohms per square.

Robert A. Neal - Wales ME
Robert Ray - Auburn ME

International Classification:

B65D 7302
B65D 8542

US Classification:

206328

Abstract:

The invention features a single film construction with two distinctly different surface characteristics for the purpose of an electronic package composite. The non-abrading outside conductive layer integrally bonded to an anti-static interior layer forms a faraday cage package characterized by surface resistivities of less than 10. sup. 3 ohms per square on the outside and less than 10. sup. 12 ohms per square on the inside.

Assignee:

Maine Poly, Inc. - Greene ME

International Classification:

B65D 7302
B65D 8542

US Classification:

206328

Abstract:

An antistatic sheet or bag for electrostatic sensitive devices is obtained by uniformly mixing a thermoplastic polymer such as polyethylene with about 0. 1 to 0. 7 per cent by weight of an antistat, extruding the mixture in the form of a tubular sheet, subjecting the sheet to a corona discharge, printing on the sheet or both sides of a tube forming said sheet, with a carbon conducting ink, cutting the sheet into units of desired length and sealing the end of each such cut unit to form a bag.

International Classification:

B65D 3008

US Classification:

383109

Abstract:

The invention features a single film construction with two distinctly different surface characteristics for a trash compactor bag composite. The high slip interior layer integrally bonded to a tacky carbon outside layer forms a moisture proof, odor adsorbing trash compactor refuse receptacle. The construction may be made of biodegradable plastic.
