The means for closing a bag comprises at least one wire covered at least partially with a coating of a bio plastics. The coating is a closed coating offering the wire corrosion protection when exposed at normal ambient conditions during storage or use of the means and the coating being degradable, biodegradable or compostable once the means is exposed to an environment suitable for decomposition. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110000593 | COLD DRAWN LOW CARBON STEEL FILAMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAID FILAMENT - A steel filament adapted for the reinforcement of elastomer or for thermoplastic products has a carbon content ranging up to 0.20 per cent by weight. The steel filament is provided with a coating promoting the adhesion with elastomer or thermoplastic products. The steel filament is drawn until a final diameter of less than 0.60 mm and a final tensile strength of more than 1200 MPa. Intermediate heat treatments are avoided so that the carbon footprint of the steel filament is substantially reduced. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100104942 | SUBSTRATE FOR LITHIUM THIN FILM BATTERY - When attempting to make a lithium ion-switching device such as a high-efficiency, all-solid state, thin film battery the choice of carrier substrate is all important. As such a substrate must withstand a high temperature under an oxidising atmosphere to crystallise certain layers making up the device, the substrate should not oxidise thereby ruling out most metals. The invention now describes a class of ternary alloys of which the oxidation rate is limited and that are useable to produce thin film batteries on. At least one element with a high affinity to oxygen (Al, Mg, Zn or Si) is present in the alloy. The other two metallic elements reduce the growth of the oxide of this first element. In addition the thus formed oxide scale turns out to be an effective barrier to lithium. Surprisingly, the scale shows nanoscopic voids that allow for sufficient electrical contact with the device layers, thereby eliminating the need for a separate current collector. As the ternary alloy can be made in a flexible foil, it can advantageously be used in a roll-to-roll process. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100012572 | DISC-SHAPED FILTER ELEMENTS AND METHODS TO PROVIDE DISC-SHAPED FILTER ELEMENTS - The present invention relates to a disc-shaped filter element and to a method to provide a disc-shaped filter element. A disc-shaped filter element has a diameter K, and comprises a first and a second ring-like shaped, liquid permeable support member having an outer edge having a diameter Ds and an inner central edge, having a largest width Ws. The disc-shaped filter element comprises a first and a second ring shape-like filter membrane, the first filter membrane being in contact with the first surface of the first support member, the second filter membrane being in contact with the first surface of the second support member. The outer edges of the first filter membrane, the second filter membrane, the first support member and the second support member are liquid tight fixed to each other. The disc-shaped filter element further comprises a hub having a central void space, an outer wall, at least one channel extending from this void space to this outer wall and a coupling means. The first surface of the first support member and the second surface of the second support member are separated from each other over a distance H being different from zero at the outer wall of the hub. For each of the first support member and the second support member, the support member are provided with a radius of curvature r being smaller of equal to (K2/4H)+H/4 along at least a zone of the support member, which zone is delimited by a first imaginary circle along the support member having a diameter of 0.9 DS and a second imaginary circle along the support member having a diameter of 1.1 Ws. The zone in which a radius of curvature r being smaller of equal to (K2/4H)+H/4 is provided, may be delimited by the first imaginary circle along the support member may have a diameter of 0.975 Ds and a second imaginary circle along the support member may have a diameter of 1.025 Ws. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20080248230 | Polymer Emi Housing Comprising Conductive Fibre - An electromagnetic shielding housing is presented that is made up out of one or more shells. The shells comprise polymer and conductive fibres and have a polymer rich surface that covers the fibres except for predefined areas where the fibres are substantially uncovered. The conductive fibres can be metal-coated non-metallic fibres or plain metallic fibres, preferably plain stainless steel fibres. A method for uncovering the fibres is also presented which comprises the breaking-off of selected protrusions or the breaking of the shell at selected recesses so as to uncover the fibres. The housing and the method solve the problem that the polymer skin leads to inferior shielding at the joint of the shells. | 10-09-2008 |
