Abstract: A flexible conduit assembly that includes a central fluid transfer conduit and at least two thermal fluid transfer conduits in overlying relationship to the central fluid transfer conduit at an orientation other than linear relative to the center axis of the central fluid transfer conduit. The flexible conduit assembly may also include an outer jacket concentrically disposed relative to the central fluid transfer conduit with the fluid transfer conduit interposed between the central fluid conveying conduit and the outer jacket.

Abstract: A coating composition particularly suitable for coating poly(phenylene oxide) comprises aqueous medium-dispersed particles of: A) between about 30 and about 35 wt %, of a first styrene-acrylic polymer formed of monomers, between about 50 and about 80 mole % of which monomers are styrene or substituted styrene monomers, between about 2 and about 15 mole percent of which monomers are acrylonitrile, and between about 18 and about 48 mole percent of which are acrylic monomers, said first styrene-acrylic polymer having an acid number of about 15 or below; B) between about 30 and 35 wt %, of an acrylic second polymer formed of monomers, at least about 90 mole percent of which monomers are acrylate monomers, balance other &agr;, &bgr;-ethylenically unsaturated monomers, said acrylic second polymer having an acid number between 0 and about 25; and C) between about 30 and about 40 wt % of an acrylic-urethane hybrid polymer.
