  • PIPE WITH AN OUTER WRAP
    Publication number: 20240159330
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

  • Multi-fit inline surface drain
    Patent number: 11976456
    Abstract: An in-line surface drain may comprise a cylindrical frame and a plurality of concentric rings coupled to the cylindrical frame. The plurality of concentric rings may be configured to protrude outward from a bottom external surface of the cylindrical frame, and the diameters of the plurality of concentric rings may be different. At least one of the plurality of concentric rings may be configured to detachably accommodate a riser pipe.

  • Method for water vapor enhanced charged-particle-beam machining
    Patent number: 6140655
    Abstract: Water vapor enhanced focused particle beam machining speeds up the removal of polymer-based dielectric materials from areas surrounding metallic interconnects on integrated circuits while at the same time decreasing the rate of removal of aluminum. Selective material removal protects metal interconnects from machining damage and greatly reduces the time that protective material is exposed to the particle beam.
