Abstract: A hot bolt clamp and method for repairing a multi-bolt flange of a pipe. The clamp has enclosures that can be assembled around the multi-bolt flange. The clamp has a central opening extending through a first enclosure face and a second enclosure face for the pipe. The clamp includes a flange bolt cavities extending through the enclosure faces configured to enclose flange bolts and having a cutter channel connected to each flange bolt cavity. Restraint bolts extend through the enclosure face to restrain the multi-bolt flange. Flange bolts can be removed and replaced during the repair operation. A cutter tool apparatus can be extended through each cutter channel for use in removing stuck flange bolts. The clamp forms an injectable void around the multi-bolt flange that is injectable with sealant in the event of a loss of gasket integrity during the repair operation.

Abstract: A pipe isolation and monitoring system and method of using the same. The pipe isolation and monitoring system comprises a pipe isolation and monitoring system. The monitoring system may transmit information to a data acquisition device locally to or remote from the pipeline.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for creating, managing, and storing synthetic data that is designed to be placed within databases having real data to deceive, attract, detect and/or track unauthorized access thereof. The synthetic data can be stored as a honeyrecord in a database table that is interspersed with real data such that the honeyrecord is indistinguishable from real data or combined to form a honeytable having multiple honeyrecords therein. In some embodiments, the synthetic data can be used to create a user persona having one or more parameters to construct a profile or an identity honeyrecord of an individual. The parameters can include private information such as name, sex, passport number, social security number, bank account or credit card details, biometric details, passwords, and other information that is attractive to hackers and other data thieves.

Abstract: High silver chloride photographic materials can be processed with a process comprising two fixing steps, one before and another after a hydrogen peroxide bleaching step. The first fixing step utilizes a sulfite fixing agent.

Abstract: A process for the development of an imagewise exposed photographic material having at least one silver halide layer, comprises forming an image therein in a solution that contains a developing agent, that is replenished. The process is carried out in an apparatus comprising at least one processing tank in which the ratio of the tank volume to maximum area of material accommodatable therein is less than 20 dm.sup.3 /m.sup.2. Substantially all replenishers are added as solids directly to said developer.

Abstract: Spectral properties of dye images produced from low silver halide coverage materials are improved by using dyes which are formed in the magenta, yellow and cyan image dye-forming units. These dyes have certain spectral characteristics, as determined by their unwanted absorptions, in combination with certain silver halide emulsion grain characteristics in each emulsion layer. In particular, reduction of unwanted absorptions can be achieved either with couplers per se which meet these characteristics or by the use of certain high-boiling solvents in the coupler dispersions at preferred levels.

Abstract: High silver chloride photographic materials are processed using a development stop bath containing a sulfite fixing agent, followed by bleaching, fixing and treatment with an oxidizing agent that destroys sulfite ions. No washing or stabilizing steps are used after the treatment with oxidizing agent.

Abstract: A redox amplification photographic process comprises a sulfite fixing step after development-amplification and prior to peroxide bleaching.

Abstract: A pistol grip spray gun for the incremental control of sprayed liquids. The gun has a handle, an actuating member movable with respect to the handle in the manner of a trigger, and a barrel with an outlet for delivering a spray of the liquid. The actuating member is movable from a closed position thereof, corresponding to a closed condition of the nozzle, through a range of open positions with differing spray characteristics. A retention system is provided for retaining the actuating member in a selected position in the range of open positions. A release button is employed for releasing the retention system to permit the actuating member to return to or toward its closed position. In this manner, the spray characteristics of the gun can be varied, and retained in any chosen characteristic, by control of the trigger without the necessity of a separate adjustment of the nozzle.
