Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090299308INFLATABLE BLADDER DRESSINGS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a tissue site of a patient includes a reduced-pressure source for supplying reduced pressure, a fluid source for supplying a fluid, and a plurality of inflatable bladders for placing adjacent the tissue site. The inflatable bladders are operable to receive the fluid to expand from an uninflated position to an inflated position. The system also includes a plurality of chambers that are compressible. At least one of the plurality of chambers is disposed between a first inflatable bladder and a second inflatable bladder of the plurality of inflatable bladders.12-03-2009

20090022767COMPOSITION, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY OF INSECT REPELLENT - A composition, device and method for the transdermal delivery of effective amounts of insect repellent provide a transdermal patch having a backing layer formed of a breathable, skin-like material such as urethane, a removable liner layer and a drug formulation and adhesive disposed between the backing layer and the liner layer. The drug formulation includes Vitamin B1 which is a thermally diffusible insect repellant, and aloe vera which accelerates the diffusion of the Vitamin B1 into a wearer's skin and bloodstream. The liner layer is removed and the patch affixed to a wearer's skin by means of the adhesive, and repels insect bites for 36 hours or more.01-22-2009

20110005008VINYL ACETATE/ETHYLENE (VAE) COPOLYMERS FOR FABRIC FINISHING - A method of finishing a textile comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an aqueous finishing liquor comprising from 0.05 wt. % solids to 65 wt. % solids of a finishing resin selected from the group comprising: vinyl acetate emulsion resins, including copolymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions, vinyl acetate acrylics, acrylic emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol resins, including polyvinyl alcohol vinyl formamide copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol vinyl amine copolymers, sulfonic acid functionalized polyvinyl alcohol resins, modified polyvinyl alcohol resins generally; and mixtures thereof; (b) saturating the textile with the finishing liquor to incorporate the liquor into the textile so as to provide a wetted textile; and (c) processing the wetted textile at elevated temperature under conditions which are controlled such that the finishing resin is inter-associated with the fibers of the textile; wherein the finishing resin is durably and uniformly inter-associated with the textile fiber surfaces at an add-on level of from 0.05 wt. % to less than 65 wt. % and is operative to alter at least one comfort-related property of the textile.01-13-2011
20110009021COLORFASTNESS AND FINISHING COMPOUNDS - A colorfast textile comprising a yarn, fabric and/or garment and a colorfast composition including a polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol copolymer and, or combinations thereof.01-13-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090101359High Pressure Wireline Top-Entry Packoff Apparatus and Method - A high-pressure packoff apparatus and method are disclosed. The packoff allows wireline entering a top drive drilling head through a top entry access system to be isolated in such a fashion to minimize the leakage and escape of drillstring fluids to the atmosphere. Optionally, an extension housing containing a flow tube assembly can be employed to accomplish the task. The flow tube assembly effectuates a pressure drop along the wireline conduit run therethrough, thus minimizing the likelihood of fluid escaping.04-23-2009
