20090081228 | CYR61 COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - Polynucleotides encoding mammalian ECM signaling molecules affecting the cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation activities characterizing such complex biological processes as angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, and oncogenesis, are provided. The polynucleotide compositions include DNAs and RNAs comprising part, or all, of an ECM signaling molecule coding sequence, or biological equivalents. Polypeptide compositions are also provided. The polypeptide compositions comprise mammalian ECM signaling molecules, peptide fragments, inhibitory peptides capable of interacting with receptors for ECM signaling molecules, and antibody products recognizing Cyr61. Also provided are methods for producing mammalian ECM signaling molecules. Further provided are methods for using mammalian ECM signaling molecules to screen for, and/or modulate, conditions and disorders associated with angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, and oncogenesis; ex vivo methods for using mammalian ECM signaling molecules to prepare blood products are also provided. Additionally, modulators, such as peptide modulators, of an ECM signaling molecule activity are provided. Further provided are methods for screening for modulators of a Cyr61 polypeptide-integrin receptor interaction, as well as methods of treating conditions and disorders associated with such an interaction. | 03-26-2009 |

20090263673 | COATED BUILDING PANELS AND ARTICLES CONTAINING CALCIUM SULFATE HEMIHYDRATE - A method of finishing an interior wall includes the steps of preparing a substrate of building panels comprising gypsum, cement or combinations thereof, said substrate having a surface, followed by applying a coating to the substrate, said coating comprising 1-30% by weight of a latex emulsion binder, 30-80% by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate, up to about 8% by weight of a set inhibiting agent and 20-60% by weight water. | 10-22-2009 |
20090264556 | NON-HYDRATING PLASTER COMPOSITION AND METHOD - A method of finishing an interior wall includes the steps of preparing a substrate of building panels comprising gypsum, cement or combinations thereof, said substrate having a surface, followed by applying a coating to the substrate, said coating comprising 5-20% by weight of a latex emulsion binder, 40-80% by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate, 0.05-2% by weight of a set preventer and 20-60% by weight water. | 10-22-2009 |
20100129643 | MULTI-LAYER ACOUSTICAL PLASTER SYSTEM - An acoustical plaster system features a base layer mixture and a finish layer mixture. The base layer mixture includes a first binder, a first thickener and a plurality of first particles, with the first particles being porous, lightweight, non-close packing particles having a first mean diameter. The finish layer mixture includes a powder latex binder, a second thickener and a plurality of second particles, with the second particles being porous, lightweight particles having a second diameter. The first mean diameter is larger than said second mean diameter. | 05-27-2010 |
20120168247 | TUNABLE ACOUSTICAL PLASTER SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAKING IT - A method of installing an acoustical system that provides a desired sound attenuation includes attaching an acoustical panel having a first density, a first porosity and a first void volume to the substrate. A first finishing layer is prepared with first particles, a first binder, a first rheological modifier and water which are combined, applied to the substrate and dried. The first finishing layer has a first density. When the first sound attenuation changes to a second sound attenuation a second finishing layer is prepared to include second particles, a second binder, a second rheological modifier and water. The dried second finishing layer has a second density. If the second density is less than the first density, the second sound attenuation is greater than the first sound attenuation. If the second density is greater than the first density, the second sound attenuation is less than the first sound attenuation. | 07-05-2012 |
20120171772 | TAGGED JOINT COMPOUND AND METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION - At least one of these or other problems is reduced using a building material that is uniquely identifiable. A method of making an identifiable gypsum-based building product includes selecting a tagging material occurring naturally in a component of the building material and choosing a carrier substance having a high concentration of the tagging material. By selecting an amount of the carrier substance and adding it to the building material, a building product having a unique product characteristic is created. In a second embodiment of the invention, a second tagging material is combined with the first tagging material to create a unique product. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a supplemental amount of the tagging material is added to the gypsum-based composition in addition to the carrier substance. Some tagging materials are useful in a gypsum-based composition to produce a visual confirmation of the presence of the tagging material. | 07-05-2012 |
20130330536 | METHOD OF REDUCING CEILING TILE SAG AND PRODUCT THEREOF - Sag in ceiling tiles is reduced by the present coated ceiling tile and method which decreases sag in the coated ceiling tiles. Calcined gypsum and water are combined to form a coating which is applied to the back side of a base ceiling tile in a thin layer of about 100 micrometer to about 1000 micrometers. The coating optionally includes a set time modifier. This method makes a coated ceiling tile from a base ceiling tile having a front side and a back side opposing the front side. The coating is applied to the back side of the base ceiling tile, the coating comprising an interlocking matrix of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Optionally, remnants of the set time modifier are present within interstices in the gypsum matrix. The remnants of the set time molecule include ions, molecules, particles or combinations thereof. | 12-12-2013 |
