20090209405 | Method for Synthesizing Bulk Ceramics and Structures from Polymeric Ceramic Precursors - A method and product made by using a polymeric ceramic precursor to synthesize dense, crack-free bulk ceramics in a technique using a sacrificial mold provides a ceramic structure for many technical, medical and industrial applications. The novel process uses an open cell material as a sacrificial mold to shape a ceramic precursor during curing. The cured ceramic green body can be machined and shaped to form the desired ceramic structure prior to final pyrolysis. The open cell material forms gas release paths to release large amount of gases generated during the pyrolysis of the cured ceramic precursor. After pyrolysis, an intact, dense, crack-free ceramic structure with high purity, strength and durability is obtained. Uses of the present invention include, but are not limited to, bulk ceramic parts, ceramic crucibles, a replacement material in some applications involving glass, silicon carbides, silicon nitrides, hafnium carbide and the like. | 08-20-2009 |

20090056727 | THUMB- AND FINGER-SUCKING INHIBITION GARMENT AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A garment for inhibiting thumb and finger sucking includes pajamas having sleeves that cover the hands with a puppet having a likeness of a creature. The child is told a story that has the creature as a character therein. The child is encouraged to participate in the story-telling with the use of the puppet, with the child acting out the part played by the creature in the story. Such an activity engages a child by being part of the action of the story and distracts the child from thumb and or finger sucking. The child is encouraged to wear the garment during the night so that the puppet/creature remains at the end of the sleeves in covering relation to the hands during the night, thereby deterring and inhibiting the child from thumb and or finger sucking. Another element can include positive reinforcement in the form of a reward system. | 03-05-2009 |
