  • Patent number: 8424533
    Abstract: A strait jacket is disclosed, which is adapted to fit wearers of more than one clothing size. The strait jacket has a jacket torso body comprising at least two panels, each panel terminating at a lower edge located adjacent to but below the wearer's underarms. Sleeves extend from the torso body to distal ends, and each sleeve has a length greater than the length of the wearer's arms. The distal end of each sleeve includes a fastening device to permit the sleeve to be fastened to the opposite sleeve and to a belt by suitable fasteners at a position behind the wearer's back. An annular jacket collar is located above the jacket torso body, and a strap extends downwardly from the collar. In one embodiment of the invention, the strap extends under the wearer's crotch. A belt strap is adapted to be secured about the wearer's mid rib cage and is further adapted to be attached to the chest strap at a posterior position; and, if desired, at an anterior position.

  • Patent number: 5505876
    Abstract: A low viscosity, non-aging hydrocarbon in water emulsion formed from a viscous hydrocarbon comprises from about 70 to 80%/wt. oil, from about 20 to 30%/wt. water, from about 0.1 to 5.0%/wt. of an emulsifying agent, and an average oil droplet size of greater than or equal to 15 microns wherein the emulsion is characterized by a viscosity of less or equal to 1500 centipoise at 80.degree. F. and substantial non-aging over time wherein the change in viscosity of the emulsion is less than 100 centipoise per month.

  • Patent number: 5503772
    Abstract: A stable, low viscosity bimodal oil in water emulsion having an emulsifier, a continuous water phase and a discontinuous oil phase having an oil:water ratio of from about 70:30 to about 85:15 by weight, the discontinuous oil phase being characterized by two distinct oil droplet sizes D.sub.L and D.sub.S wherein D.sub.L is about 10 to 40 microns and D.sub.S is less than or equal to 5 microns, the ratio of D.sub.L /D.sub.S is greater than or equal to 4 and about 45 to 85% by weight of the oil is in oil droplet size D.sub.L.

  • Patent number: 5354504
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of a hydrocarbon in water emulsion from viscous hydrocarbons wherein aging of the emulsion over time is substantially eliminated comprises forming a concentrated emulsion characterized by a water content of less than or equal to 15%/wt. and an average oil droplet size of less than or equal to 4 microns and thereafter forming a final emulsion by diluting the concentrated hydrocarbon in water emulsion with water so as to obtain a water content of less than or equal to 30%/wt. and stirring said diluted emulsion so as to obtain a final hydrocarbon in water emulsion having an average oil droplet size of greater than or equal to 15 microns.
