Abstract: An emergency notification system is provided. The emergency notification system comprises an emergency notification server (206), a signage server (202), digital signage displays (208); and a data communications network (134), wherein the emergency notification server (206) is configured to communicate with the signage server (202) via the data communications network (134) and wherein the emergency notification server (206) is configured to indicate if the emergency notification system (100) is in a non-emergency state or in an emergency state, and wherein the signage server (202) serves different data to the plurality of digital signage displays (208) depending on if the state of the emergency notification system (100) is in a non-emergency state or in an emergency state.

Abstract: A composite wall structure formed from a plurality of layers. The composite wall structure can be used to form a composite storage tank having a tank cavity and a longitudinal axis. A composite tank trailer can be formed using the composite tank, a platform structure and a suspension and wheel assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are epoxy resins prepared by reacting p-hydroxystyrene and epichlorohydrin in the presence of one or more alkali agents. Also disclosed are epoxy resins prepared from reacting a p-hydroxystyrene polymer and one or more di-hydric phenol agents with epichlorohydrin in the presence of alkali. These epoxide resins have a low melt viscosity and when cured exhibit glass transition temperatures above 300° C.

Abstract: A maritime vessel is disclosed. The maritime vessel includes a hull and at least one cargo tank associated with the hull and having a multi-layered side wall construction. The side wall construction includes a first layer providing a corrosion barrier for the cargo tank, a second layer providing structural integrity for the cargo tank, a third layer providing impact energy absorption and buoyancy properties for the cargo tank, and a fourth layer providing fire-resistant properties for the cargo tank.
