[GLANDER STEPHAN] CA The present invention relates to a substantially gel-free sealant or adhesive compound comprising butyl-type polymer without any conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition having an average molecular weight Mn of more than 20,000 g/mol and containing less than 15 wt.% of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min., and a self-supporting shaped article comprising said compound optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means as well as a tape comprising said substantially gel-free compound optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising said substantially gel-free compound. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a sealant composition comprising said substantially gel-free compound.

[GRONOWSKI ADAM, GLANDER STEPHAN] CA The invention relates to a method of transferring data between a host computer server and a secure network storage system via a data transfer architecture. The secure network storage system has a plurality of storage devices for storage of the data. The method comprises (a) authenticating the host computer server with a security system associated with the secure network storage system; (b) obtaining a storage key from the security system after authentication; and (c) performing an encryption/decryption operation comprising at least one of (i) encrypting and storing data on the secure network storage system, and (ii) retrieving and decrypting data stored on the secure network storage system.

[Adam Gronowski, Akhtar Osman, Stephan Glander] CA Sarnia The present invention relates to a shaped article containing at least one peroxide curable compound containing a butyl-like polymer(s) without any conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition, said polymer containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. The present invention also relates to a sealing material and a medical device containing at least one peroxide-curable compound containing a butyl-like polymer containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. Further, the present invention relates to a process for producing a butyl-like polymer having no conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition and containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. In addition, the present invention relates to a process the manufacturing of the inventive compound wherein the elastomeric polymer is mixed with at least one filler and at least one peroxide curing system in a mixing means.
