  • Patent number: 7926516
    Abstract: A repair device and method for its use includes plugs that pressure isolate an internally damaged pipeline section and an hermetically sealed housing that contains a length of composite material and a means for controllably releasing the composite material. In a preferred embodiment, the composite material is a pre-cured composite plank and the releasing means is a rotatable carriage assembly. The carriage assembly includes pairs of rollers that maintain the composite material in its coiled state and provide for its controlled release onto the interior wall of the pipeline. The carriage assembly also includes a nozzle for injecting an adhesive into a roller. The roller applies the adhesive onto the interior wall surface and then presses the composite material into the adhesive as the carriage assembly rotates and the composite material uncoils. A pneumatic or electric motor may be used to power the carriage assembly.

  • Patent number: 7740028
    Abstract: A composite plug system and a process to repair a hole in a tubular pipe. The process includes the steps of inserting a fastener through an opening in an oblong inner plate having an elongated diameter and a shorter diameter. The oblong plate is inserted into the pipe hole wherein the elongated diameter is greater than a diameter of the pipe hole and wherein the shorter diameter is less than the pipe hole diameter so that the oblong plate is within the tubular pipe beneath the hole. An initially liquid adhesive filler is applied over the oblong inner plate over the pipe hole. An outer plate having a central opening and a diameter larger than the pipe hole diameter is affixed over the pipe hole so that the central opening receives the fastener. The outer plate is secured to the oblong inner plate and the tubular pipe with the fastener until the adhesive filler solidifies. After the filler solidifies, the oblong plate and the outer plate are structurally bonded to the pipe wall through adhesion.

  • Patent number: 7601426
    Abstract: An intumescent coating in the form of an initially liquid coating which cures to a solid and adheres to a substrate. The coating includes a flexible thermosetting epoxy, such as diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), with an aliphatic amine curing agent, expandable graphite flakes with reagent chemicals that react upon heating and decompose into gaseous products, and fumed silica. In the presence of heat or flame, an intumescent layer develops at the coating surface, insulating the substrate. The coating is found to add intumescent characteristics which provide heat resistant and fire retardant qualities.

  • Publication number: 20070213965
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intuitive visualization of the relationships between molecules. Acyclic and cyclic compounds are converted to base frameworks. The molecules are mapped with each base framework, representing a multitude of molecules, mapped as a single point. The base frameworks are positioned relative to each other using similarity tests as applied to metadata which are associated with the atoms and bonds frameworks of the molecules.
