Versatile seal or sealing arrangement
Applicant: North American Rescue Products Inc, USA This invention relates to a dressing for treating a penetrating chest wound, and includes an occlusive dressing that seals tightly over the wound and has a fluid drainage system allowing fluid to exit from the wound while preventing fluid intake. The drainage channel and access for catheter and needles are included in the design of the adhesive layer of the dressing. Patent number: WO 2007/040615 Inventors: R. Castellani and R. Miller Publication date: 12 April 2007
Applicant: Busak+Shamban Deutschland GmbH, Germany This patent describes a seal that is intended for the plugging of drill holes and similar functions. It is installed in two assembly steps. An internal tooth (6) of the seal (22) engages into a lower cavity (26) of the plug (21) in a partially assembled position while being locked into an upper cavity (25) of the plug in the final
assembled position. The resistance required for guiding the plug out of the bore is increased by an internal tooth on the internal face of the seal as well as a securing device on the external face of the seal. The energy required for installing the sealing arrangement is reduced while safety during assembly and the sealing properties are improved. Patent number: WO 2007/042000 Inventor: M. Bassi Publication date: 19 April 2007
Injector having a seal and supporting ring Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany The invention relates to a seal design for high pressure fuel injectors used on a common rail system.

Soldered joint for solid oxide fuel cells
Flip seal apparatus for inflating a tyre
Applicant: Corning Inc, USA A method and device for soldering metallic structures including interconnects and sealed frames for solid oxide fuel cells is described. It is particularly applicable to those with multicell electrolyte sheets and includes providing a high-temperature aluminum-containing surface-alumina-forming steel. This removes alumina from the surface where connections are formed. Patent number: WO 2007/041406 Inventors: S. Biswas et al. Publication date: 12 April 2007
Applicant: Android Industries LLC, USA This disclosure relates to automated inflators for vehicle tyres. It is designed to overcome the problems of excessive forces on the tyre and wheel rim plus the consumption of large quantities of compressed air that occur with current designs. The seal includes a ring-shape having a flexible inner periphery that is adapted to maintain, while sealing from ambient pressure an open air passageway between a tyre bead and wheel bead seat during an inflation procedure.

Non-contaminating milk or food container seal
The filled PTFE seal with steel backing ring for high pressure fuel injectors, from WO 2007/042382.
August 2007
Applicant/Inventor: T.W. McClellan (USA) A seal for milk, or other food containers, which is designed for improved hygiene. The tamper resistant seal can be removed without having to place fingers in the spout, thus avoiding potential contamination.
The channel or pouring spout has an inner surface to be contacted by contents of the container. A seal prevents human contact with the inner surface of the channel or pouring spout and has a tab permitting manual removal of the seal. Patent number: WO 2007/044395 Publication date: 19 April 2007
