Abstract: A thermal target which produces and emits an infrared image that simulates heat emitting equipment or personnel, wherein said image is formed by an electric current passing through a heatable resistive coating integral with the target, wherein said thermal target is comprised of a structural sheet, that is weather resistant and flame resistant, which is covered with an insulative coating onto which is applied an electrically resistive coating, which when heated creates an infrared image, where said resistive coating is in electrical contact with a conductive coating which distributes current over the target and is in electrical contact with a power supply.

Abstract: A process for recycling asphalt pavement by serially heating and milling the asphalt until the desired depth of asphalt has been removed and then mixing the heated asphalt with additives, if needed, for reapplication to the pavement.

Abstract: An adhesive tape fastener for a diaper, which has a front surface and a back surface, which fastener comprises a first, second and third adhesive tape each of which has its front face coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The first adhesive tape has a free end portion which is adapted for attachment to a marginal portion of the front surface of the diaper and a fixed end which is joined to the adhesive face of a second adhesive tape. The second adhesive tape has a free end portion which is adapted to form a first fastening tab and a fixed end which is joined to the adhesive face of a third adhesive tape. The third adhesive tape has a first free portion which is adapted to form a second fastening tab and a second free end portion which is adapted for attachment to a marginal portion of the back surface of the diaper to form a second anchor tab. The second anchor tab is finger tearable whereby in use it can be detached from the fastener to allow the first fastening tab to be used to refasten the diaper.

Abstract: An integral air inlet which in use admits filtered gases into a fluid container, especially infusion fluid containers, comprises a needle sealed to a housing which is closed by an air filter, the housing having disposed within it a duck bill valve which permits gas to flow from the outside and into the fluid container. The presence of the duck bill valve prevents fluid contacting the air filter thereby reducing the risk of bacterial contamination the fluid when gas is admitted.
