| 20100021690 | Protective Pad and Method for Manufacturing Foam Structures with Uniform Pegs and Voids - An improved, impact energy dissipating foam pad and method for creating a foam pad that includes plurality of uniform pegs and holes in a closed cell foam substrate. A foam substrate plank is placed between two compression molds that includes a plurality of perpendicularly aligned pegs formed thereon. The compression mold's pins have sufficient length and are offset so that when the two compression molds are pressed together, the tips of the pegs on one compression mold penetrate the area located between two pins on the opposite compression mold. The compression molds are then pressed into the heated substrate plank. The two compression molds are then removed and the compressed substrate plank is allowed to cool causing the closed voids to be ‘set’. After cooling, the compressed substrate plank is then cut transversely along a line parallel to the plank's top and bottom surfaces and perpendicular to the closed voids. The two half foam substrates formed after cutting are then re-heated which causes the compressed voids to expand to their original size thereby forming two half foam substrates with alternating, uniform pegs and holes. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20100159203 | Biodegradable and Renewable Film - A biodegradable and renewable film that may be employed in a wide variety of applications is provided. The film is formed from a thermoplastic composition that contains at least one starch and at least one plant protein.

Balancing the amount of starches and plant proteins within a certain range, for instance, can reduce the likelihood of plant protein aggregation and enhance the ability of the composition to be melt processed. The composition also contains at least one plasticizer that improves the thermoplastic nature of the protein and starch components. The selection of the plasticizer may also help reduce the tendency of the plant protein to aggregate during melt processing. For example, a relatively acidic plasticizer (e.g., carboxylic acid) may be employed in certain embodiments to minimize the formation of disulfide bonds in a gluten protein, and thereby decrease its tendency to aggregate. | 06-24-2010 |
