US Patent:

54707579, Nov 28, 1995
Filed:

Jun 28, 1994
Appl. No.:

8/267839
Inventors:

James E. Gagnon - Minneapolis MN
Neale P. Povey - Stillwater MN
David R. Gagnon - St. Paul MN
Roland R. Midgley - Minneapolis MN
Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

G01N 2100
G01N 100
G01N 2101
US Classification:

436164
Abstract:

A sample holder for use in infrared spectrophotometric analysis. The holder comprises a microporous sheet and is particularly useful for analysis of solutions, colloids, small particle solids, flowable solids, solvents, and viscous fluids. The microporous sheet preferably has a low absorbance (high spectral transmittance) in infrared wavelengths. The sample holder is especially useful for the analysis of aqueous based samples. Also, a method for using such sample holders for infrared spectrophotometric analysis.

US Patent:

50409026, Aug 20, 1991
Filed:

Jul 31, 1990
Appl. No.:

7/560430
Inventors:

Bradley W. Eaton - St. Paul MN
Keith E. Moe - Woodbury MN
Roland R. Midgley - Minneapolis MN
Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

B65D 3338
B65D 3330
US Classification:

383 7
Abstract:

A gussetted plastic bag and liner, wherein the bag is maintained open by an attached elastic band. The elastic is placed on either side of at least one gusset fold(s) in an untensioned state, so as to bridge the gusset. When the bag top is folded over a container rim, the elastic is stretched on the outside of the container. This placement permits the bag to be folded flat while providing a means to keep the bag open during use. The elastic is useful as a closure after use.

US Patent:

51024861, Apr 7, 1992
Filed:

Jan 9, 1991
Appl. No.:

7/639193
Inventors:

Roland R. Midgley - Minneapolis MN
Donald L. Plaschko - Woodbury MN
Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:

B32B 3100
US Classification:

156256
Abstract:

A method for applying loops formed from a supply length of elongate strip material in spaced relationship along a substrate. Lengths are cut from the supply length, and have their ends supported on peripheral surfaces of two circular disks mounted with their axes oriented to position portions of the peripheral surfaces of the disks on which the lengths are positioned at a wide spacing at a first location and to position portions of the peripheral surfaces of the disks at a close spacing significantly closer than the wide spacing at a second location generally diametrically across the disks from the first location and along a path for the substrate. Spaced portions of the lengths are held along the peripheral surfaces of the disks during rotation of the disks to move the predetermined lengths from the first location to the second location thereby forming the lengths into generally U-shaped loops, and those U-shaped loops are transferred and attached to the substrate at the second location.
