  • Patent number: 7878822
    Abstract: A sealed power distribution module includes a nonconductive body defining a terminal receptacle, a barrier seal engaged to and surrounding the body adjacent the receptacle on an exterior surface of the body, a terminal element grid fitted within the receptacle, and provisions for installing commercially available sealed terminals to complete the wiring. The grid is engaged to the body at a location interior to the barrier seal. The power distribution module may also include one or more bus bar assemblies oriented such that simultaneous switching of relay packages is possible.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060057348
    Abstract: A composite material is provided which includes a highly oriented polymer produced by a drawing process and a particulate filler capable of reacting with a fluid to form a cementitious bond. The amount and degree of dispersion of the filler is selected to form interpenetrating polymer and cementitious networks upon reaction of the filler with the fluid.

  • Patent number: 5716711
    Abstract: A method and composition for providing gas-impermeable, adherent, flexible, and fire retardant coatings to rock and the like surfaces whereby the rock is supported by the caisson effect and mechanical strength properties of the coatings. The method comprises spraying a two-component polymer such as polyurethane onto a rock surface and spraying a layer of inorganic particulate material such as unexfoliated vermiculite onto the said coating of polymer with or without concurrent application of further layers of said polymer before completion of curing of the coating whereby the particulate material adheres to the polymer. An aqueous dispersion of inorganic particulate material such as vermiculite which may be in the exfoliated form can be applied onto the coating.
