Disclosed is a crosslinked cellulose composite film including a regenerated cellulose matrix containing a uniform dispersion of hemp fibers and a poly(ethylene oxide) plasticizer. A method for forming the film includes mixing a slurry of the hemp, poly(ethylene oxide) and a cellulose solvent with a cellulose solution, extruding the mixture, regenerating the cellulose from the solution to form the ...

The present invention relates to a laminated packaging material suitable for use especially in heat-sealable packages for liquid food, such as milk, cream and juice cartons, and to a manufacturing method of the material, and to a food package manufactured of the material. The material comprises a core of paper or cardboard, and oxygen and aroma proof barrier layers of EVOH and polyamide; it is cha...

A seal for sealing a low pressure area from a high pressure area for containing a process fluid. The high pressure area is located along a rotatable shaft extending from a machine body. The seal includes an outboard seal positioned along the shaft, and an inboard seal axially spaced along the shaft from the outboard seal. An annular chamber is defined between the inboard seal and the outboard seal...

A pharmaceutical composition for oral administration in the form of a solid dispersion comprising an ascomycin or a derivative thereof and a carrier medium.

A battery charge indicator is disclosed which accurately displays the true state of charge or energy remaining in an alkaline battery in which the indicator is installed. The indicator is responsive to a chemical reaction that has or has not occurred in the alkaline battery. The indicator can detect partial discharges more accurately than the standard indicators or testers which use current or vol...

There is provided a modular device for use as a supporting and restraining unit for infants. Three releasably attachable cushions are provided which define a central flat section and flexible rounded side sections. One of the cushions has a harness associated therewith.

The sheets (1a) are divided into a right and left air mattress halves (5,6) along a central separating part (3). A narrow air passage (7) connects the right and left mattress halves in fluid flow connection with each other. - The separating part is formed by a combination of peninsula type projections (5a, 6a) which project outwards alternatingly from the right and the left air mattress halves. - ...

In a data communication system, the controller of a mobile switching center is initially responsive to a request message from a mobile user for supplying a single-bit setup message to an interworking unit via a signaling channel exclusively associated with a data channel. In response, the interworking unit activates an associated network DCE within the mobile switching center and returns a single-...
