Abstract: An enclosed structure is provided for use with a refrigerator having a door assembly. The enclosed structure preferably contains superinsulation materials and a plurality of matching drawers. The enclosed structure preferably includes corner joints which minimize thermal energy transfer between adjacent superinsulation panels. The refrigerator may include a cooling system having a thermoelectric device for maintaining the temperature within the refrigerator at selected values. If desired, a fluid cooling system and an active gasket may also be provided between the door assembly and the enclosed structure. The fluid cooling system preferably includes a second thermoelectric device to maintain the temperature of fluid flowing through the active gasket at a selected value. The drawers associated with the refrigerator may be used for gathering, processing, shipping and storing food or other perishable items.

Abstract: Panels are disclosed which are suitable for joiner, non-structural bulkheads.The panels are a laminate having a central portion of gypsum or a magnesium oxy-chloride cement which may or may not be glass fiber reinforced and externally exposed fire-resistant skins directly bonded to opposite sides of the central or core material. These skins are formed of a solid phenol-formaldehyde glass resin composite such as for example a prepreg formed from a woven glass roving of a high strength, high melting point glass and a cured phenol-aldehyde resin.

Abstract: An aqueous asphaltic emulsion wherein the asphaltic component is either a chemically-modified asphalt or an asphalt-elastomer blend, and the aqueous component contains water, a surfactant, and a high molecular weight, non-ionic, homopolymer of acrylamide. The emulsions find use as crack fillers for concrete or asphaltic roads and the like, or as coating compositions which can be sprayed on a building wall or the like as a waterproofing coating. The incorporation of the acrylamide ingredient into the composition ensures rapid and complete curing of other types of emulsions, and the emulsions possess physical properties and low-temperature flex properties which closely approximate those of the original asphaltic component.
