International Classification:

B29C 3504
B32B 3100

US Classification:

264112

Abstract:

A process and apparatus for molding recyclable cushions is disclosed. The cushions are molded by a process comprising filling a mold with polyester fiber clusters, encapsulating the fibers clusters with a scrim sheet or adhesive, closing the mold, advancing the mold to a heating station where hot air is forced through the mold, advancing the mold to a cooling station where cool air is forced through the mold, and subsequently releasing the molded part from the mold.

Abstract:

Interaction between Reelin and the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor has been discovered. This allows development of a convenient assay system for receptor binding that is adaptable for screening modulators (agonists and antagonists) of the interaction between Reelin and the VLDL receptor or similar receptors.
