Appl. No.:

09/899782

Inventors:

Curt Delanoy - N. Massapequa NY
John Gillespie - Hockessin DE

Assignee:

Sony Corporation - Tokyo

International Classification:

B32B 2704

US Classification:

442 64, 442 65, 442366, 428110, 428113, 428114, 4282991, 4282974

Abstract:

A composite carbon fiber material is formed of one or more layers of carbon fiber material in which the carbon fibers are aligned all in the same direction and a mat of nonwoven, woven, or off-axis unidirectional carbon fibers are laminated together. Layers may be used individually or as a hybrid. The layers can be preimpregnated or impregnated during processing using thermoplastic or thermosetting resins. A layer of thermoplastic resin is applied either over the surface or within the composite structure, and the resin permeates the material so as to provide a more stable mechanical structure once the resin is processed. The material combines good mechanical strength with improved electrical current carrying properties when compared with the aligned carbon fiber layer alone. The layering sequence, layer type, and resin type can be specified to tailor electrical properties, mechanical properties, durability, and wear resistance. The resultant material achieves these results in substantially smaller material thickness than previously available.

Appl. No.:

8/240279

Inventors:

Ian Howie - Newark DE
Roderic Don - Newark DE
John W. Gillespie - Hockessin DE
Scott Holmes - St. Louis MO

Assignee:

University of Delaware - Newark DE

International Classification:

F23D 1452

US Classification:

431251

Abstract:

The invention is drawn to a nozzle device for gas torches which allows interactive, real-time control of thermoplastic processing and a method of using this device. The device consists of a movable nozzle slide that it attached to the tip of the torch. The nozzle slide can be moved in an upward or downward direction, thereby changing the amount of heat contacting the material.

International Classification:

B32B 900

US Classification:

1563071

Abstract:

This invention is a new process to promote adhesion between thermoplastic polymers and thermosetting resin adhesives. This is accomplished by selecting a third "interlayer" polymer which is compatible with both the thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. This compatible interlayer is incorporated with the thermoplastic polymer during fabrication to provide the finished part surface with a layer of the compatible film. Upon adhesive bonding, diffusion of the thermosetting adhesive molecules into the compatible film occurs before complete cure, or hardening of the thermosetting adhesive. After completion of cure an Interpenetrating Network (IPN) is formed. Molecular entanglement in this network provides superior adhesive strength enhancement.

Abstract:

The present invention provides food products, nutritional programs, and methods for meeting nutritional needs of subjects with dementia and related cognitive disorders. In one embodiment, the invention provides a food product comprising a reversibly sealed container and a soup, wherein the soup is in the container and comprises a total volume of 200-2000 mls, a vegetable or meat component, 300 to 2500 calories, a macronutrient caloric distribution comprising: 20-80% fat, 10-45% protein, and 10-65% carbohydrate, about 2% to about 40% medium chain triglycerides, omega 3 fatty acids in an amount of 100 to 2000 mg and less than 20 solid food particles having a volume greater than about 20 cm. Such food products, when administered to affected subjects, can positively impact (i) nutritional status; (ii) quality of life; (iii) disease course; (v) the demand for assistance from a care giver; (vi) subject compliance with a nutritional plan using the food product, and (vii) ease of monitoring compliance by the caregiver for verification.
