Abstract: A composite for packaging a medical device has a first layer including an aromatic polyether polyurethane and a second layer. The first layer forms a base that has a plurality of walls extending therefrom to define a cavity for receiving the medical device. The second layer is disposed on the first layer opposite the cavity. The composite is formed from a method that includes the step of disposing the first layer on the second layer. The composite may also be included with a container to form a packaging system.

Abstract: An improved parking lot pavement analysis system is described that analyzes field survey data and generates a report which provides the necessary information to make the most cost-effective maintenance and repair decisions for commercial and residential parking lots. The pavement analysis system can be implemented on an existing PC computer to provide a user-friendly way of standardizing and guiding the visual survey and pavement sampling to determine existing conditions. The pavement analysis system guides entry of data indicating the pavement's existing condition, and then calculates and recommends maintenance and repair options. The calculations are based on an expert diagnostic system analysis which substantially reduces the requirement for expert interpretation. A complete life cycle cost analysis is performed, and this allows the user to make an informed decision about what type repairs are most appropriate for a particular situation.

Abstract: A method of making a pneumatically injectable additive for an Electric Arc Furnace, the method comprising screening a waste material comprising oily millscale in water to form uniform particles, and then mixing those particles with carbon and lime; and storing the mixture in air permeable bags in a dry atmosphere until the mixture has chemically cured to form the injectable particles.

Abstract: A method of producing a cold mix asphalt paving composition by:(a) separating non-asphalt impurities from an asphalt rubble obtained from a reclaimed asphalt pavement to produce a purified asphalt rubble;(b) comminuting said purified asphalt rubble to obtain sized asphalt-aggregate mixture;(c) testing said sized asphalt-aggregate mixture to determine the percent of asphalt present in said asphalt-aggregate mixture; and(d) blending an asphalt emulsion with said asphalt-aggregate mixture in an amount so as to yield a cold mix asphalt pavement composition comprising from about 4.0% to about 6.5% by weight of asphalt.The cold mix asphalt paving composition is used to coat roadway surfaces, parking lots, driveways, and the like. Once the cold mix asphalt paving composition has been applied to a surface, a top coat may be overcoated onto the cold mix asphalt pavement.
