Abstract: Asphalt binders and related methods and uses are provided. In some embodiments, the asphalt binder is produced by: providing a high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock; performing solvent deasphalting on the feedstock to produce a partially deasphalted oil and an asphaltene-rich residue; and collecting the partially deasphalted oil (DAO). The high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock may comprise residue from vacuum distillation or flash separation of extra heavy oil or bitumen, or recycled asphalt. The DAO may itself be used as the asphalt binder or may be a component of a blend with the original feedstock. Asphalt binders may also be produced by blending residue and heavy distillate produced from vacuum distillation or flash separation, with DAO or the asphaltene-rich residue of the solvent deasphalting process. The disclosed methods allow for production of asphalt binders of a wide variety of performance grades.

Abstract: A method of providing a garment with low aerodynamic drag for an individual person includes providing a database containing data relating to the aerodynamic performance of a plurality of garments when worn by a plurality of persons having different adopted body shapes, determining the adopted body shape of the individual person, and entering data relating to the adopted body shape of the individual person into a computer. The database is interrogated to identify a set of aerodynamic performance data relating to garments worn by a person having a similar adopted body shape to the individual person. The computer compares the aerodynamic performance data of the garments in the identified data set, selects from the identified data set a garment having a relatively low aerodynamic drag, looks up in the database the characteristics of the selected garment, and uses at least some of the characteristics of the selected garment to provide a garment for the individual person.

Abstract: A transformer assembly (2) includes a base (4) comprising a CNC machine milled aluminum plate that is designed for liquid cooling. Three magnetic flux conductive cores (30a, 30b, 30c) are mounted to the core and are interlinked by three winding assemblies (6a, 6b and 6c). The winding assemblies each include a plurality of heat conductive members (10). The heat conductive members (10) extend from the base through the winding assemblies and conduct operative heat from the winding assemblies to the base for dissipation from the base during use. The heat conductive members each comprise a copper tube sealed at either end with a fluid within. In use a convection current forms in the fluid that causes the fluid to circulate from one end of the tube to the other thereby transmitting heat along the conductive member to thereby transmit heat from the coils to the liquid cooled base in use.
