Menthol cigarette
Patent 8,157,918
Cigarettes are provided which contain a filtering system and flavorants encapsulated with polyvinyl acetate, wherein deactivation of a sorbent by the flavorant is reduced through the encapsulation of the flavorant within the polyvinyl acetate. A preferred flavorant is menthol. The encapsulated flavorants are prepared by mixing at least one flavorant with polyvinyl acetate and a solvent, such as ethanol, and forming the encapsulated flavorants. Methods of making cigarettes and smoking the articles are also provided.

Environmentally resistant ballistic composite based on a nitrile rubber binder
Patent 8,158,540
Ballistic resistant fabrics and articles that retain superior ballistic resistance performance after exposure to liquids such as sea water and organic solvents, such as gasoline and other petroleum-based products. The fabrics are formed from high performance fibers coated with a nitrile rubber binder polymer having an acrylonitrile content of from about 15 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, and are optionally coated with a binder that is a blend of a nitrile rubber and a fluorine-containing material.

System for accurately weighing solids and control mechanism for same
Patent 8,156,957
A system, including a closed chamber (20) having a gas inlet (22) and a gas outlet (24) is shown and described. An inert gas supply under positive pressure is connected to the gas inlet, and a bubbler is connected to the gas outlet. The bubbler includes a compartment that is partially filled with liquid so as to define a head space, an inlet operatively connected to the gas outlet, a vent, and a vacuum line in fluid communication with the head space so that the head space has a negative pressure.

Lid for a mixing device
Patent 8,157,435
A lid that is removably mountable to an upper open end of a jar of a mixing device includes a generally circular base having a top surface and a opposing bottom surface. A pour spout extends generally vertically upwardly from the base when the lid is mounted to the upper end of the jar. The pour spout has a crisp edge for pouring foodstuff when the lid is mounted to the jar. Further, the lid includes a channel that generally surrounds the pour spout to collect errant drips of foodstuff when the lid is mounted to the jar and when foodstuff is poured through the pour spout.

Fluoride-modified silica sols for chemical mechanical planarization
Patent 8,163,049
A chemical-mechanical planarization composition containing surface-modified abrasive particles such as silica where at least a portion of the surface of the particles has bound thereto a surface-modifying aluminum-containing stabilizer and fluoride that is used to polish semiconductor substrates. The use of a CMP slurry containing surface-modifying aluminum-containing stabilizer and fluoride bound to a silica abrasive provides high metal polishing rates relative to the removal rate of a dielectric.
