Filed:

Dec 20, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/575449

Inventors:

Rodney Lee Wells - Chester VA

Assignee:

AlliedSignal Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

C08L 7700

US Classification:

524447

Abstract:

A polyamide fiber that includes 0. 3 to 2. 0 weight percent kaolin clay having an average particle size of 0. 1 to 2. 0 microns, and less than 0. 1 weight percent titanium dioxide, said weight percents being based on the weight of the fiber, and a method for making the same. The polyamide fiber is particularly useful as a carpet fiber.

Allied Chemical Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

C08L 6300
C08L 7700

US Classification:

260830P

Abstract:

A new composition has been found comprising an antistatic fiber selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyester, polyurea, polyurethane, or polysulfonamide, said fiber containing between about one percent and about twelve percent by weight of at least one compound having a molecular weight above 1500 selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the formulas: ##STR1## where R. sub. 1, R. sub. 2, R. sub. 3 and R. sub. 4 are independently selected from nonovalent hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 20 carbon atoms derived from aliphatic, aromatic, cycloaliphatic, aromaticaliphatic, heterocyclic hydrocarbons or --(C. sub. r H. sub. 2r O). sub. m (C. sub. p H. sub. 2p O). sub. q --H; R. sub. 5 is at least one of the alkylene difunctional radicals having 2 to 15 carbon atoms and a radical selected from ##STR2## R. sub. 6, R. sub. 7, R. sub. 8 and R. sub. 9 are independently selected from R. sub. 1, R. sub. 2, R. sub. 3, R. sub.

International Classification:

A61B 1712

US Classification:

606213

Abstract:

A puncture seal device for stemming the flow of blood from a punctured blood vessel includes an elongated outer sheath affixed to a generally tubular housing where the housing contains a manually actuable slide which is affixed to a rigid tubular pusher member coaxially disposed within the outer sheath. Also contained within the outer sheath in longitudinal alignment with the pusher and distally thereof is a ring-shaped plug of a hemostatic material. The assembly thus far described may be fitted over a tubular introducer or the body of a catheter and then advanced therealong until the distal end of the outer sheath is proximate a bleeding blood vessel. By actuating the pusher member, the hemostatic plug surrounding the introducer or catheter is ejected from the distal end of the outer sheath and held in abutting relationship to the bleeding blood vessel.
