  • Publication number: 20190063647
    Abstract: A full-face flare joint for a lined piping system having a connector portion of a metal piping being flared radially outwardly at a predetermined angle to form a pipe lap with a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to engage a pipe flange. Further, a pipe lining extends out of the connector portion and is flared radially outwardly over the second surface of the pipe lap thereby forming a liner flare. A full-face flare component with a bottom portion is attached to the liner flare so that the bottom portion of the component forms an angle of about 90° with an inner surface of the pipe lining.

  • Publication number: 20100300744
    Abstract: A shielding article includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer spaced apart from the first conductive layer by a non-conductive polymeric layer defining a separation distance. The first conductive layer and the second conductive layer cooperatively provide a first shielding effectiveness. The first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, and the separation distance cooperatively provide a second shielding effectiveness that is greater than the first shielding effectiveness.

  • Publication number: 20030014345
    Abstract: The present risk management system with intelligent user interfaces divides all processes within the system into different “flowchart” phases. Decisions or inputs that can have knock-on effects on other decisions or inputs will be required at an earlier phase or level. If say, a particular decision or input has a knock-on effect on another decision or input, the system will require this decision or input to be entered at an earlier phase. This ensures a systematic and logical input of data as opposed to having all decisions or inputs appearing at the same time or in one phase, as in the case of other financial option and derivative pricing and structuring software programs. The system uses this “flowchart” process to provide an on-line guidance system for the users to input only the required decisions or inputs as they go along.
