  • Patent number: 8196453
    Abstract: A laminated sensor comprises a base stratum and a terminal stratum. The base stratum has a first surface that is affixed to a surface of a structure to be monitored. The terminal stratum is affixed to the opposite second surface of the base stratum. A connector is attached to the terminal stratum. The base stratum is provided with first and second channels and that are cut through the thickness of the base stratum. The terminal stratum is provided with holes that extend through the thickness of the terminal stratum. A first pair of the holes are positioned to register with the first channel, while a second pair of the holes are positioned to register with the second channel. A first conduit is formed by the first channel and the holes; while a second conduit is formed by the second channel and the holes. The connector connects with tubes to provide fluid communication between the conduits and a differential pressure monitoring system.

  • Patent number: 5856273
    Abstract: A compound of formula (I): ##STR1## where E is oxygen or sulphur; A is CR.sup.3 or N where R.sup.3 is hydrogen or hydrocarbyl; D completes a 5 or 6-membered non-aromatic heterocyclic ring which optionally contains additional heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur and which is optionally substituted by an optionally substituted lower hydrocarbyl group, or an optionally substituted heteroaryl group; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently hydrogen; optionally substituted lower hydrocarbyl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocyclic ring; Z represents halogen optionally substituted lower hydrocarbyl, optionally substituted lower hydocarbyloxy, optionally substituted lower hydrocarbylthio, hydrocarbylsulphinyl or hydrocarbylsulphonyl, cyano, nitro, CHO, NHOH, ONR.sup.7' R.sup.7", SF.sub.5 ; CO (optionally substituted lower hydrocarbyl), acylamino, COOR.sup.7, SO.sub.2 NR.sup.8 R.sup.9, CONR.sup.
