International Classification:

A61K 948

US Classification:

424400

Abstract:

A pharmaceutical product. The pharmaceutical product includes a container constructed from a material containing polymethylpentene. The container defines an interior space. A volume of a fluoroether-containing inhalation anesthetic is contained in the interior space defined by the container.

Jason, Inc. - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

B01D 3910

US Classification:

Appl. No.:

6/001136

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

G01N 1104
G01B 1108

US Classification:

73 56

Abstract:

The rheological properties of an extrudable material can be measured by extruding a strand of the material, measuring its diameter continuously, to give a series of diameter values, interpreting the variations in the strand diameter so as to characterize the surface of the strand, and deriving rheological data from the surface characteristics of the strand. The variations in the strand diameter can be interpreted as to peak-to-peak amplitude, average diameter value, the frequency of significant extreme values, standard deviations from a mean value, and the like. By means of these mathematical characterizations, the rheological behavior of the extrudable material can then be derived. The scorch behavior of a curable elastomer can be measured. The heterogeneity of a rubber compound can be described, or the macromolecular properties of a polymer can be measured (such as "gel", or degree of cross-linking. ).

Filed:

Sep 18, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/529308

Inventors:

Patrick E. Rice - Winthrop Harbor IL

Assignee:

Jason, Inc. - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

B01D 2706

US Classification:

2104935

Abstract:

A generally planar expanded metal filter media support structure is provided. The filter media support structure includes a first row of perforations mutually separated, one from another, by a perforation distance along a first axis parallel to the plane of the support structure and at least a second row of perforations parallel to the first row of perforations offset from the first row of perforations along the first axis by a first offset distance greater than zero and less than one-half the perforation distance and offset along a second orthogonal axis in the plane of the support structure by a second offset distance.

International Classification:

G01B 1104

US Classification:

73760

Abstract:

The modulus of a plastic polymer is measured by extruding a strand of the polymer vertically downward through an orifice while accurately measuring the diameter of the strand, cutting off the strand and weighing it, and dividing the strand weight by the square of the difference in strand diameter to give a quotient representative of the modulus of the polymer. The method and apparatus are especially useful in measuring the green strength of a vulcanizable elastomer, so as to characterize its behavior during processing into a finished article.
