US Patent:

7268098, Sep 11, 2007

Filed:

Nov 28, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/287682

Inventors:

Thomas E. Hopkins - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

B41M 5/41

US Classification:

503200, 427152, 264 78

Abstract:

A thermally printable commercially functional cash register tape produced from a thin oriented, heat stabilized, thermoplastic film is described. This thermoplastic tape replaces the currently used paper cash register tape. It will accept printing, has sufficient machine direction stiffness and sufficiently reduced surface electrical charges to function in conventional commercial cash register printers. The thermoplastic tape is much thinner than the conventional paper tape so a roll of the plastic register tape contains about 4. 7 times the paper length of a typical cash register roll.

US Classification:

604/368000, 604/370000, 604/372000, 428/402000

Abstract:

An absorbent material is disclosed, containing at least about 30 weight percent of a superabsorbent polymer, a thermoplastic polymer binder resin, and about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent water. The absorbent material absorbs deionized water to at least about 70 percent of maximum capacity within about 20 minutes after exposure to the deionized water. The method of making the absorbent material includes combining binder resin and absorbent polymer in a twin screw extrusion mechanism, compounding and driving the composition toward exit openings, extruding the composition through the exit openings, and preferably rapidly cooling the extrudate with non-liquid quenching means. The quenched or non-quenched extrudate may be made in the form of a pellet, film, or fibrous strand.

US Classification:

435121

Abstract:

In a process for polymerizing monomers with free-radical initiators in aqueous solution to produce polymers useful in oil field applications, wherein said polymerization process employs an oxygen-scavenging agent, the improvement which comprises employing said oxygen scavenging agent and oxidase enzyme with a substrate therefor, optionally with a catalase, such as alcohol oxidase and methanol, to consume dissolved oxygen in a polymerization admixture. Oxygen-scavenging under field conditions with the oxidase/substrate system permits consistent production conveniently of water based polymer solutions of good viscosity for oil field applications.
