Abstract: The invention comprises a built-up roof composite that is used upon seamed roof substrates. The composite has a membrane that is simultaneously formed and affixed to a base sheet adhered to the roof substrate. The membrane comprises a sheet of heat-resistant, non-woven polyester sandwiched between layers of asphalt. The upper asphalt layer is caused to flow through the polyester and meld with the lower layer of asphalt to form a homogeneous membrane.

Abstract: The invention comprises a built-up roof material that has a composite membrane that is formed and affixed to the roof substrate in a single step. The membrane comprises a sheet of heat-resistant, non-woven polyester sandwiched between layers of asphalt. The upper asphalt layer is caused to flow through the polyester and meld with the lower layer of asphalt to form a homogeneous composite.

Abstract: A method for electrocatalytically reacting various oxidizable organic compounds by introducing current by means of an anode into an electrolyte of a cell containing the oxidizable organic compound. The anode comprises an electrocatalyst material which has at least one compound of the formula:A.sub.2 [B.sub.2-x B'.sub.x ]O.sub.7-ywherein A is selected from any of the pyrochlore structure metal cations in a group consisting of: Pb, Bi, and Tl, wherein B' is selected from any of the pyrochlore structure metal cations in a group consisting of Pb, Bi, Tl, and Sn; wherein B is a pyrochlore structure metal cation at least a major portion of which is selected from a group consisting of at least one of: Ru, Rh, Ir, and Os, wherein y is equal to or greater than zero and equal to or less than one; and wherein x is equal to or less than one and equal to or greater than zero.

Abstract: An improved electrolyte for an Li/TiS.sub.2 current producing system, such as a battery, features at least one lithium solute of the general formula LiXF.sub.a, where X is selected from a group consisting of B, P, Sb, and As, and wherein a is 4 for B and 6 for P, Sb, and As. The solute(s) are supported in a solvent consisting of at least 1,3 dioxolane, and more particularly in a mixture of 1,3 dioxolane (DIOX) and 1,2 dimethoxyethane (DME) ranging in percent ratios of (DIOX:DME) from 100/0 to 40/60 by weight.

Abstract: A streamlined coal slurry letdown valve is featured which has a two-piece throat comprised of a seat and seat retainer. The two-piece design allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the valve. A novel cage holds the two-piece throat together during the high pressure letdown. The coal slurry letdown valve has long operating life as a result of its streamlined and erosion-resistance surfaces.

Abstract: This invention features a manifold that divides a stream of coal particles and liquid into several smaller streams maintaining equal or nearly equal mass compositions. The manifold consists of a horizontal, variable area header having sharp-edged, right-angled take-offs which are oriented on the bottom of the header.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for safely transferring personnel to and from a sea launch from and to a tanker, a freighter, a bulk carrier, passenger ship or any other vessel or platform relatively larger than the launch or a boat. The system comprises a carrier, which is lifted and lowered by a winch including a hoisting motor, a continuously running tensioning motor, at least one cable connected to said carrier and operatively connected to the tensioning motor and the hoisting motor, and a coupling device disposed between the hoisting motor and the tensioning motor. A weight, which is part of the carrier, or which is suspended underneath, or, alternately, a line attached to the launch and carrier, provides the necessary compensation to the changing personnel weight and allows the carrier to follow motion of the moving deck of the launch.

Abstract: A new apparatus and methods are featured for electrostatically resolving emulsions. The apparatus comprises a flexible electrode carrying electrolytes, therein. Emulsions are resolved by passing current through the electrolyte at frequencies to or above 60 Hz.

Abstract: An ink jet ink formulated to substantially reduce or eliminate start-up problems when an ink jet apparatus is initially discharged. The ink comprises at least two fluid components. The components have been matched to provide an ink that substantially maintains its initial formulation despite evaporation of the components.
