20090137700LOW COST, LOW-DENSITY, ABLATIVE RUBBER INSULATION FOR ROCKET MOTORS - An insulation material comprising a low-density EPDM polymer, at least one flame-retardant, and an organic filler. The insulation material is used in an insulation layer of a rocket motor. The organic filler is a polymeric, organic filler such as polyvinyl chloride. A rocket motor comprising an insulation material is also disclosed. The insulation material comprises a low-density EPDM polymer, at least one flame-retardant, and a polymeric, organic filler and is applied between an inner surface of a case of the rocket motor and a propellant. A method of insulating a rocket motor is also disclosed.05-28-2009
20100205929BASALT FIBER AND NANOCLAY COMPOSITIONS, ARTICLES INCORPORATING THE SAME, AND METHODS OF INSULATING A ROCKET MOTOR WITH THE SAME - An insulation composition that comprises at least one nitrile butadiene rubber, basalt fibers, and nanoclay is disclosed. Further disclosed is an insulation composition that comprises polybenzimidazole fibers, basalt fibers, and nanoclay. The basalt fibers may be present in the insulation compositions in a range of from approximately 1% by weight to approximately 6% by weight of the total weight of the insulation composition. The nanoclay may be present in the insulation compositions in a range of from approximately 5% by weight to approximately 10% by weight of the total weight of the insulation composition. Rocket motors including the insulation compositions and methods of insulating a rocket motor are also disclosed.08-19-2010

20100222731ADHESIVE BANDAGE WITH BARRIER TEAR AWAY TABS - The adhesive bandage consists of a support with one surface having pressure sensitive adhesive and a wound covering pad placed centrally on it, which are covered by two protective detachable tear away tabs. The tear away tab consists of a single layer over the adhesive surface of the support and becomes two layered over the pad region. The two layers are fused at the zone of fusion near the margin of the pad, but are otherwise free from each other. The layer close to the pad, called inner barrier layer, completely covers the pad area. The outer layer, also called grasping layer, partially covers the barrier layer and the pad, and is folded upon itself to give sufficient length. When the outer layer is grasped to pull apart the releasable tear away tabs the inner barrier layer prevents contact of the finger to the pad. As one pulls apart the tear away tabs the barrier layers unfold and prevent contact of the fingers with the wound and wound exudates, preventing cross contamination. The bandage is enclosed in an envelope with the free ends of uneven dimension to have free part of the surface of both leaves, which are easy to grasp and separate.09-02-2010

20110218332Modulators of body weight, corresponding nucleic acids and proteins, and diagnostic and therapeutic uses thereof - The present invention relates generally to the control of body weight of animals including mammals and humans, and more particularly to materials identified herein as modulators of weight, and to the diagnostic and therapeutic uses to which such modulators may be put. In its broadest aspect, the present invention relates to the elucidation and discovery of nucleotide sequences, and proteins putatively expressed by such nucleotides or degenerate variations thereof, that demonstrate the ability to participate in the control of mammalian body weight. The nucleotide sequences in object represent the genes corresponding to the murine and human ob gene, that have been postulated to play a critical role in the regulation of body weight and adiposity. Preliminary data, presented herein, suggests that the polypeptide product of the gene in question function as a hormone. The present invention further provides nucleic acid molecules for use as molecular probes, or as primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, i.e., synthetic or natural oligonucleotides. In further aspects, the present invention provides a cloning vector, which comprises the nucleic acids of the invention; and a bacterial, insect, or a mammalian expression vector, which comprises the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, operatively associated with an expression control sequence. Accordingly, the invention further relates to a bacterial or a mammalian cell transfected or transformed with an appropriate expression vector, and correspondingly, to the use of the above mentioned constructs in the preparation of the modulators of the invention. Also provided are antibodies to the ob polypeptide. Moreover, a method for modulating body weight of a mammal is provided. In specific examples, genes encoding two isoforms of both the murine and human ob polypeptides are provided.09-08-2011
