Patent number: 11619356Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for hot tapping into pressurized, coated duct systems for transporting corrosive substances are disclosed. A branch line may be installed in such systems without shutting down or depressurizing the system using the disclosed systems, apparatus and methods without compromising the system coating or resistance to corrosion from the transported substances. Cut edges created when ductwork is cut to install a branch line are captured and sealed between two gaskets, avoiding the need for recoating with difficult to apply corrosive protection materials such as fluoropolymer coatings.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Fab-Tech, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Goodwin, Michael J. Ambrisco

Publication number: 20230025813Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for systematically evaluating idea quality in accordance with specified rules. In addition, such assessments may also be used to initiate workflows for improving the quality of a given idea. Some embodiments may provide for assessment of the novelty of idea in real-time (e.g., during an innovation or ideation session). Such initial assessments may further be updated in real-time as the idea is discussed further. Such assessment may rely on voice-activated and intelligence-driven searching of various data sources to identify the context of the idea so as to provide an objective basis for the assessment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: John Cronin, Burt Cummings, Charles Root, Michael D'Andrea, Jeffrey Goodwin

Patent number: 7264279Abstract: A conduit (100) comprising a plurality of conduit segments (112A–112C) each having a body (120A–120C) and a segment lining (136A–136C) made of a lining material. Each body includes a joint face (132A–132C) having secured thereto a portion (140A–140C) of the corresponding segment lining. A monolithic lining (108) is formed from the segment linings by abutting the conduit segments with one another so that the joint faces face one another and the portions of the segment linings contact one another. The portions of the lining on the joint faces are heated to a temperature above the melting point of the lining material so that they fuse with one another so as to form a fusion (148A, 148B) located between the joint faces.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Fab-Tech, Inc.Inventors: Joseph M.
