20120108550Use of Derivatives of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as Medicaments - Use of polyunsaturated fatty acid derivatives as medicaments or functional foods. The present invention relates to the use of 1,2-fatty acid derivatives in the treatment or prevention of common diseases whose etiology is based on alterations (of any type) of the cell membrane lipids, for example, changes in levels, in the composition or in the structure of these lipids. In addition, for diseases in which the regulation of lipid composition and of the structure of the membranes (or proteins that interact with membranes) causes the reversion of pathological state.05-03-2012

20100087612MONOVINYLIDENE AROMATIC POLYMERS COMPRISING SULFANYLSILANE FUNCTIONALIZED ELASTOMERIC POLYMERS - The present invention is a rubber modified monovinylidene aromatic polymer composition where the rubber is a sulfanylsilane chain end modified elastomeric polymer. In the present invention the functionalized rubber provides sufficient grafting levels in standard graft polymerization process technologies to prepare desired rubber particle size distributions and morphologies. Across a range of rubber modified monovinylidene aromatic polymers, it has been found that the use of the modified elastomeric polymers according to the present invention can improve the combinations of resin properties, particularly clarity, surface and physical properties, including both rubber modified monovinylidene aromatic homopolymers (e.g., high impact polystyrene and copolymers (e.g., ABS). The functionalized rubbers have sulfanyl functional groups that provide an optimized reactive grafting site. This ensures that under graft polymerization conditions a monovinylidene aromatic polymer block is formed grafted to the butadiene polymer block. This is particularly desirable to enable the use of polybutadiene homopolymer rubbers which are more cost effectively used in rubber-modified monovinylidene aromatic polymers.04-08-2010
20100197863Compositions Exhibiting High ESCR and Comprising Monovinylidene Aromatic Polymers and Olefinic Copolymers Containing Unsaturation - Compositions comprising (a) a monovinylidene aromatic polymer, e.g., HIPS, and (b) an ethylene/alpha-olefin (EAO) copolymer, e.g., an ethylene-propylene copolymer, that satisfies the mathematical relationship: y≦20+2.35x in which y is the ethylene content in mole percent (mol %) of the EAO copolymer and x is the Brookfield viscosity in centipoise (cP) at 10O° C. of the EAO copolymer and the viscosity is at least 1 centipoise (cP), exhibit improved environmental stress crack resistance as compared to compositions containing monovinyiidene aromatic polymers but without such an EAO copolymer. The compositions are useful in the manufacture of articles, e.g., refrigerator liners and food packaging, which come in contact with the oils contained in various food stuffs.08-05-2010
20100273950MICROWAVE HEATABLE MONOVINYL AROMATIC POLYMERS - A method for melt-processing a polymer of a monovinyl aromatic compound, such as styrene, is disclosed. The method may include heating a polymer of a monovinyl aromatic compound volumetrically with microwave energy, wherein the polymer of a monovinyl aromatic compound includes: a discontinuous rubber phase; and a continuous poly(monovinyl aromatic) phase comprising up to 49 weight percent of at least one of an acrylate comonomer and a vinyl cyanide comonomer.10-28-2010
20100298486MONOVINYLIDENE AROMATIC POLYMERS CONTAINING NONFUNCTIONALIZED, NONMINERAL OIL - Monovinylidene aromatic polymers, e.g., general purpose polystyrene or high impact polystyrene, are plasticized with a nonfunctionalized, nonmineral oil, e.g., a vegetable oil such as canola oil, cottonseed oil or the like. The mixture of monovinylidene aromatic polymer and oil is typically and preferably free of any significant amount of functionalized nonmineral oil, and it typically contains at least 0.1 weight percent of the nonfunctionalized, nonmineral oil, alone or in combination with a mineral oil, based on the weight of the polymer. The nonmineral oil has an iodine value of less than 120, and a hydroxyl number of less than 20.11-25-2010

20110126816GAS DISTRIBUTION UNIT FOR A COOKING APPLIANCE - A gas distributor assembly for a cooking appliance. In one implementation the assembly includes at least one gas burner, a distributor conduit fitted with at least one regulation tap to regulate the passage of a gas flow to the corresponding burner, and a safety valve to open or close the passage of the gas flow to the burners. The distributor conduit is connected to the safety valve, the safety valve having a valve body that includes an inlet conduit for receiving the gas flow, an outlet conduit, and an intermediate conduit that connects the inlet conduit to the outlet conduit, an axial axis of the inlet conduit and an axial axis of the outlet conduit being arranged substantially parallel to each other and not coaxial. An electrovalve housed in the valve body of the safety valve opens or closes the passage of the gas flow to the outlet conduit.06-02-2011
