Abstract:
The invention relates to the papermaking art and, in particular, to the manufacture of paper substrates, paper-containing articles such as file folders, having improved reduction or inhibition in the growth of microbes, mold and/or fungus.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for preparing sized paper and paperboard which incorporates in the paper and paperboard at the size press size a composition comprising one or more “hydrophobic polymers” wherein hydrophobic polymers, the amount of such polymers and the weight ratio of starch to such polymer in the composition are selected such that the paper and paper board exhibits a Cobb Value equal to or less than about 25 and to a sized paper or paperboard web formed by the process.
Abstract:
Particulate compositions for delivery, preferably pulmonary, which provide sustained release of antigens, preferably DNA and/or peptide and/or protein antigens, have been developed. In the preferred embodiment, aggregate nanoparticles are in the aerodynamic range of 1-5 microns diameter and fly deep into the lungs. As the aggregate particles degrade in the body, MSP-1 and AMA-1 proteins are released into the blood stimulating a humoural immune response. The individual particles in the range of 0.1 micron are preferentially phagocytosed by APCs which express the proteins encoded by AMA-1 and MSP-1 plasmid DNA thereby initiating the cellular immune response that is necessary for a complete immunity.
Abstract:
A method of making a corrugating linerboard includes supplying a web of coated linerboard having a first side, a second side and a thickness defined by a distance between the first side and the second side, the first side being coated with a moisture-repellant material; and impregnating the coated linerboard with a hydrophobic material from the second side such that the hydrophobic material penetrates into the thickness of the coated linerboard.
Abstract:
A vehicle bumper system includes a beam configured to attach to a vehicle and a thermoformed energy absorber positioned on the beam. The energy absorber comprises a frame and a crush lobe extending from the frame. The crush lobe comprises a lobe wall extending between the frame and an outer wall. The change in lobe wall thickness may be constant. The outer wall is curved away from the frame.
