Patent application number | Description | Published |
20120003424 | ABSORBENT FOOD PAD - An absorbent food pad having an active agent positioned selectively in a pad architecture to provide superior performance. | 01-05-2012 |
20120284923 | PATIENT TRANSPORTER WITH INFLATABLE CHAMBERS - A patient transporter having inflatable chambers or channels that provides improved support, rigidity, and height is disclosed. The patient transporter is lightweight, portable and durable. The inflatable chambers also provide buoyancy. A skid plate on the bottom surface of the transporter allows the transporter to be easily pulled over the ground when transporting a person. A hinged support assembly can be connected to the bottom of the transporter for additional rigidity and support. A method for using a patient transporter having inflatable chambers is also provided. | 11-15-2012 |
20130074402 | TREATMENT SYSTEM TO PROLONG LIFE OF CUT FLOWERS - The present disclosure relates to prolonging shelf life of cut flowers, especially during transport, as well as enhancing physical appearance and sensory characteristics of cut flowers, by treatment systems and devices that modify the atmosphere over a longer period of time in containers in which the cut flowers are transported or stored. | 03-28-2013 |
20130243912 | Food Package - A food package having a tray, an absorbent pad formed with a surface-treated carboxyalkylated polysaccharide, a wrap, and a food product is disclosed. The absorbent pad can be substantially compostable. In certain embodiments, all components of the food package are substantially compostable. | 09-19-2013 |
20150017380 | ABSORBENT FOOD PAD HAVING DISCRETE AIRFLOW PASSAGES - An absorbent food pad having one or more apertures that provide discrete airflow passages through the absorbent food pad is provided. The apertures permit the absorbent food pads to be placed below a food product in a container without blocking the flow of air through the container. The absorbent food pad contains an active system, such as an SO | 01-15-2015 |
20150093478 | ABSORBENT PAD TO REDUCE CONFINEMENT ODOR IN FOOD PACKAGES - An absorbent pad that contains activated carbon to reduce confinement odor in a vacuum-packaged food product is provided. An embodiment of absorbent pad contains activated carbon and an antimicrobial agent that further reduces confinement odor by two mechanisms of action: reducing bacterial counts in the liquid purge that cause breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins in food products; and trapping of confinement odor-causing breakdown products by the activated carbon. The absorbent body in the absorbent pad actively draws in liquid purge and dissolved volatile breakdown products in the vacuum package that produce confinement odor, which produces greater and more rapid contact of odor-causing compounds with the activated carbon. | 04-02-2015 |
20150101244 | METHOD FOR HYDRATING CUT FLOWERS AND AN ABSORBENT PAD FOR USE THEREWITH - A method for hydrating cut flowers during packing, storage, and transport is provided. The present disclosure also provides a method for hydrating cut flowers in which a particular absorbent pad is used therein. The present disclosure further provides that the absorbent pad can contain an active agent that is activated by water to nourish and treat the cut flowers and/or inhibit growth of microorganisms. | 04-16-2015 |
20150196022 | ABSORBENT PAD HAVING THREE OR MORE MODULES TO ENHANCE PRESERVATION OF FLOWERS - An absorbent pad is provided having three or more adjacent modules as a treatment system that modifies the atmosphere in a container to prolong life and the physical/sensory characteristics of cut flowers at all stages of storage and transport. Each module of the absorbent pad of the present disclosure is a discrete absorbent pad in itself that contains an active agent, such as a CO | 07-16-2015 |
