Abstract: A high-pressure lay-flat hose and fitting that can be used at pressures in excess of 1000 psig, and its method of manufacture, is provided.

Abstract: A panel for use in constructing a mat or a road and method for same is provided. The panel can include a wafer having at least three sides operatively coupled to an edge having a complementary profile for overlapping and attaching to another edge coupled to another wafer. The edge can be attached to the wafer using a scarf joint or a mortise and tenon joint. The complementary profile can include a lap joint, a tapered lap joint, an S-shaped lap joint or a modified lap joint for use with fasteners for attaching two edges together.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high pressure flexible conduit comprising, a conduit extruded from a flexible liner material, and a seamless fibrous sleeve able to withstand high pressure contents braided or woven in a continuous manner fitted around the conduit and not fused or fixably connected to the conduit whereby, the sleeve absorbs the tensile forces in the conduit. A method of braiding or weaving that creates high axial and hoop strength is utilized to create the fibrous sleeve. A protective coating or overweave may be adhered to the outside of the fibrous sleeve. The fibrous sleeve may further be bonded to an end fixture.
