  • Publication number: 20240150242
    Abstract: A three-part epoxy grout composition comprises a liquid epoxy blend, a liquid hardener, and a graded particulate aggregate, wherein the dry aggregate particles are pretreated with an applied adhesion promoter in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight. The volume of pretreated aggregate particles, when mixed with the epoxy blend and the hardener, comprises at least 70% by volume of the cured grout. Pretreatment of the aggregate by coating with adhesion promoter allows more efficient use of chemicals along with improved strength. Related methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200139312
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering oxygen, oxygen enriched air, or air through a delivery system from one vessel containing a higher pressure concentration of the gas into another vessel containing a liquid at atmospheric pressure introduced through a diffuser or dispersion nozzle including one or more passages in a controlled regulated manner. This process and apparatus provide the liquid with an oxygenation level for improved flavor in a short amount of time.

  • Patent number: 10521433
    Abstract: A query device for conducting automated user identification using a domain specific query language is described. The domain specific language is a computer language specially adapted for use in the healthcare domain. The domain specific language includes specific syntax suitable to the medical or healthcare industries, and is structured in the form of a string for processing. The domain-specific query is automatically processed and delineated into one or more processing sections. The domain-specific query is specifically structured for improved efficiency through iterative processing of the one or more processing sections, where each of the one or more processing sections is classified and mapped to a specific filter. Each filter represents a programmatic mechanism for automatically conducting a query against one or more backend data storages or other datasets to return a list of users or equipment that meet the criteria of the filter. Corresponding methods, and computer readable media are described.
