Abstract: An engineered crumb rubber asphalt additive may comprise a plurality of a structural particles and a non-elastomeric liquid. At least a portion of the surface of the structural particles is coated with the non-elastomeric liquid. The structural particles may be crumb rubber particles. The engineered crumb rubber asphalt additive may also comprise a reagent. The non-elastomeric liquid may be selected from the group consisting of workability/compaction agents, slipping agents, and anti-stripping agents.

Abstract: The present invention discloses adaptors to be used as a removable mounting platform for knife handles. These adaptors also connect to a rigid support tube adding stability to the adaptors. The connecting together of these components to the knife handle, provide a durable, sturdy, and removable platform for mounting knife handles, enables the capability of switching knife handles, and provides extended proximity of range when utilizing a knife.
