20150027136 | Storage and Dispensing System for a Liquid Cryogen - A two line system for storing and dispensing cryogenic liquids from a bulk storage tank to a secondary container without the use of a cryogenic pump. A first line is in communication with the vapor space of a secondary container and a compressor, the compressor being used to depressurize the secondary container to a point where the bulk storage tank is at a higher pressure than the secondary container. The first line can direct the evacuated gas either into the bulk storage tank, towards separate holding tanks, or towards any other application. A second line is in communication between the bulk storage container and the secondary container. When the compressor is activated, the pressure in the secondary container will fall below the pressure in the bulk storage tank, causing the cryogen to flow from the now higher pressure bulk storage tank into the secondary container. | 01-29-2015 |

20090017320 | Using branched polymers to control the dimensional stability of articles in the lamination process - Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Also disclosed are methods of laminating a first layer and a second layer with an inclusion between the layers to form a laminated article with an embedded inclusion, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent. | 01-15-2009 |
20090105380 | UV ABSORBING ADDITIVES SUITABLE FOR THERMOPLASTIC ARTICLES MADE FROM PROCESSES WITH EXTENDED HEAT HISTORIES - A UV-protected, laminated article obtained by a thermocompressive lamination process. The laminated article is characterized by reduced haze due to the use of a benzotriazine UV absorber. A process for making such a laminated article and a method for preventing or inhibiting haze from developing in a UV-protected laminated article during application of heat and pressure are also described. | 04-23-2009 |
20120157636 | Miscible Polyester Blends Utilizing Recycled Polyesters - Polyester blends containing recycled, post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate are described. The blends have the advantage of being miscible (visually clear) and remaining clear after post-extrusion heat histories. | 06-21-2012 |
20120328849 | LAMINATION PROCESS OPTIMIZATION UTILIZING NEOPENTYL GLYCOL-MODIFIED POLYESTERS - Thermoplastic articles made from polyesters modified by neopentyl glycol laminate more quickly than cyclohexanedimethanol-modified versions yet retain the properties that make modified polyesters the material of choice in this market—water-like color and clarity, high impact strength, low lamination temperature and low flammability. For situations where a faster cycle time is not needed, articles laminated with neopentyl glycol-modified polyesters can alternatively be manufactured at lower temperatures. | 12-27-2012 |
20130025774 | IN-LINE LAMINATION OF HEAVY-GAUGE POLYMER SHEET WITH A PRE-FORMED POLYMER FILM - A process for in-line laminating a heavy-gauge transparent polymer sheet with a pre-pre-formed polymer film to produce a laminated polymer sheet. The pre-formed polymer film can impart one or more aesthetic or functional elements to the heavy-gauge polymer sheet. The resulting laminate can have equivalent, or enhanced, properties as compared to conventionally-prepared laminates and can be formed into a variety of articles with multiple end uses. | 01-31-2013 |
20130143052 | ENCAPSULATION OF ELECTRICALLY ENERGIZED ARTICLES - In one aspect the present invention relates to a method of making an encapsulated electrically energized device, the method comprising: providing a first layer and a second layer each independently comprising a copolyester, a polycarbonate, a polyacrylate, polycarbonate/polyester miscible blends, or mixtures thereof, providing the electrically energized between the first and second layer, thermocompressively fusing the first layer and the second layer to encapsulate the electrically energized device by applying pressure at a temperature, sufficient to form the article, to a perimeter of the surface of the first and second layers, wherein the perimeter does not overlap the electrically energized device, wherein the temperature at the interface of the first and second layers is equal to or greater than Tg of the first layer and the second layer, and wherein the polyester layers have a flow during encapsulation less than the flow that induces fractures in the electrically energized device. | 06-06-2013 |

20140251848 | Device and method for storage of collectible cards - The invention is directed toward a unique self-locking storage device for collectable cards. The container has an upper member and a lower member which are hingedly connected by a back panel. The upper member of the container fully encloses the lower member of the container when the container is closed. The panels of the upper member of the container present an uninterrupted view of decorative artwork when the container is closed. The container is preferably constructed of an acid-free poly propylene to allow protection of the collectable cards. | 09-11-2014 |

20140274576 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING RESISTANCE IN A DUAL TREAD TREADMILL - A dual treadle treadmill. The dual treadle treadmill includes a frame, a first treadle, a second treadle, and a generator. The first treadle and the second treadle are each pivotally coupled with the frame and each have a moving surface. The generator is operably associated with the first treadle such that the generator is driven in response to the first treadle pivoting relative to the frame. Other embodiments of dual treadle treadmills are also described. | 09-18-2014 |
20140274577 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR DUAL TREAD TREADMILL IMPROVEMENTS - A dual treadle treadmill. The dual treadle treadmill includes a frame, a first treadle, a second treadle, a clutch axle, and a tensioning mechanism. The first treadle and the second treadle are each pivotally coupled with the frame and each have a moving surface. The clutch axle includes an axle, a first driver, and a second driver. The axle is rotatably connected to the frame. The first driver is coupled to the axle by a first clutch. The first clutch transmits torque between the first driver and the axle in response to the first driver rotating in a first direction relative to the axle. The first treadle is connected to the first driver through a first link such that the first driver is rotated in a first direction in response to the first treadle being pivoted in the first direction. The tensioning mechanism maintains a tension on the first link. | 09-18-2014 |
