Abstract: A watertight protective carrying case having first and second case body portions each including an outer containment and inner frame. Engageable lips are formed at one part of each inner frame, the lips matable in a sealing relationship when the case is in a closed condition. A cooperative closure assembly is configured and mounted at the outer containments so that upon engagement of the cooperative closure compressive pressure is applied at the frame lips with the engagable lips entirely enclosed by the cooperative closure. The compression thus effected by engagement of the closure is substantially constant at all locations along the interface of the lips thereby providing a tight seal of the entire interface with no need for the closure itself to be watertight.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a drainage system of an exterior wall of a building comprising insulation having a rear face for contact with the exterior wall of the building and a drainage plane positioned on the rear face for removal of water from the exterior wall.

Abstract: Provided is a foamable composition adapted to form a cross-linked novolac-epoxy resin foam. The foamable composition is formulated from a composition comprising at least one novolac resin, at least one epoxy resin, and at least one blowing agent.

Abstract: A building unit for constructing a structure, the unit being in the shape of a generally cylindrical log formed by a light-weight, resilient core encased snugly in a fabric covering have the same shape as the core.

Abstract: A containment system for containing media and contaminants within an area adjacent a surface to be treated, comprising a barrier located proximate the surface and an elongate flexible member defining a perimeter of the area. An access port is provided in the barrier to allow application of a media to the surface, and an exhaust device is provided to create a negative pressure within the contaminant area and remove the media and/or contaminants from the area.

Abstract: A fire retardant flexible polyurethane foam and method for its production are provided. The foam is prepared by reacting in the presence of a metallic catalyst and a non-metallic catalyst (a) a polyol having a molecular weight between about 1000 and about 9000; (b) a polyisocyanate; (c) a cross-linking agent; (d) a foaming agent; (e) a surfactant; (f) a halogenated hydrocarbon; (g) melamine powder; (h) antimony oxide; and (i) sodium borate.
