  • Patent number: 6938386
    Abstract: A composite roof structure, and a corresponding method of fabricating the structure, are disclosed which includes use of a layer of non-cellular adhesive material (preferably a two-component non-cellular polyurea polyurethane adhesive material), roof insulation panels, along with a flexible roof membrane, preferably made of thermoplastic olefin rubber, including a rubber-like sheet having a fleece-like matting secured to the underside thereof. The non-cellular adhesive is preferably sprayed onto a roof substrate and prior to complete solidification thereof the roof membrane or roof insulation is pressed into the adhesive so that the matting becomes embedded therein.

  • Patent number: 4767404
    Abstract: A perforate suction tip for removal of surgical debris with reduced clogging and with minimum trauma to tissue is disclosed. Suction ports are arranged on the tip so that suction ports which remain unblocked when surgical debris lodges in other suction ports operate as a vacuum modulator facilitating the removal of the blockage. Further, the likelihood of blocking every suction port, thereby aspirating and damaging tissue, is greatly reduced.
