20130052446 | Melt-Extruded Substrate for Use in Thermoformed Articles - A melt-extruded substrate that can be readily thermoformed into a shaped, three-dimensional article is provided. The substrate is formed from a polymer composition that contains a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer and a unique aromatic amide oligomer. The present inventors have discovered that the oligomer can help increase the “low shear” complex viscosity of the resulting polymer. The ability to achieve enhanced low shear viscosity values can lead to polymer compositions with an increased melt strength, which allows the resulting substrate to better maintain its shape during thermoforming without exhibiting a substantial amount of sag. Due to its relatively high degree of melt strength, the polymer composition is particularly well suited for forming thin extruded substrates for use in thermoforming processes. | 02-28-2013 |

20150150853 | PROMOTING SLEEP USING AT1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS - The present invention relates to the use of an Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker for promoting sleep and/or the treatment of insomnia. It is based, at least in part, on the results of experiments performed using a validated rat model of stress-induced insomnia in which candesartan was found to ameliorate sleep disturbances induced by stress. Further, it was observed that this effect seems to be caused by blockade of AT1 receptors located in several brain regions that are key components of the neural circuitry activated during insomnia. In contrast to currently marketed treatments for insomnia, the AT1 receptor blocker was found to restore normal sleep without inhibiting REM sleep and/or inducing atypical wave components in the EEG. | 06-04-2015 |

The nanoparticles may form a mechanical bond with the fibers in addition to a chemical bond in the absence of a catalyst. The substrate may comprise a fiber fabric that may optionally be coated with a thin layer of metal. Alternatively, the substrate may comprise a solid material such as a metal sheet or plate. | 09-18-2014 |
20160032066 | Puncture-Healing Thermoplastic Resin Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Composites - A composite comprising a combination of a self-healing polymer matrix and a carbon fiber reinforcement is described. In one embodiment, the matrix is a polybutadiene graft copolymer matrix, such as polybutadiene graft copolymer comprising poly(butadiene)-graft-poly(methyl acrylate-co-acrylonitrile). A method of fabricating the composite is also described, comprising the steps of manufacturing a pre-impregnated unidirectional carbon fiber preform by wetting a plurality of carbon fibers with a solution, the solution comprising a self-healing polymer and a solvent, and curing the preform. A method of repairing a structure made from the composite of the invention is described. A novel prepreg material used to manufacture the composite of the invention is described. | 02-04-2016 |

20140163653 | Epidermis Enhancing Assembly - An epidermis enhancing assembly that enhances the epidermis through a multi-step cleansing process that cleanses the epidermal area without excessive drying. A control portion regulates the distribution of liquids and electrical functions of the assembly. The control portion includes a heated liquid container, a cool liquid container, and a reservoir. Pumps disperse a heated liquid onto the epidermis for initial cleaning and opening of the pores. A carrier portion transports the liquids to and from the control portion. An epidermal engagement device joins with the carrier portion, and serves to engage the epidermis with bristles. The bristles vibrate in a manner efficacious for manipulating the pores and the epidermis. The pumps then force a cool liquid onto the epidermis for closing the pores and further cleansing. A vacuum then sucks the liquids back to the assembly after cleansing is complete. | 06-12-2014 |
