Abstract: A repair device may include a cured-in-place liner having a modification to prevent adhesion of the liner adjacent to an opening in a pipe during the curing process and where a fire activated device has previously been installed/located. The liner may also soften and give way under specific time/temperature exposure that permits an existing fire-stop device to function properly and as designed in a fire event while preventing that device from deploying prematurely and/or by failure of the existing strap, fitting and/or other design deficiency.

Abstract: Hand-held telephones (i.e., cell phones or cordless phones) with its keypad and display in inverted (from customary layout) positions and with a slanted keypad arrangement are disclosed in this application. Such a revision of the face layout of this type of telephone allows the user to dial or access the keypad with the thumb of the hand holding the phone with relative ease and with better ergonomics compared to the conventional phone face layout.
