  • Patent number: 7705241
    Abstract: The coiled wire armored cable (10) includes transmission wires (14) encased by an insulator (12). A solid protective wire (16) is spirally wound over the exterior of the insulator. The protective wire (16) is fabricated from a metal, such as steel or titanium material, and will have a gauge that prevents a rodent from chewing through the wire. The coils of the protective wire are spaced apart along the length of the cable. The spacing (a) of the coils will be less than the width of the teeth of the rodent so that the coils create a “fence” that prevents the rodent's teeth from contacting the insulator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7147787
    Abstract: A process wherein the use of a degradation-enhancing reactant or a precursor thereof, e.g., an oxidizing agent, can effectively increase the rate of reaction for the degradation of polymers in an aqueous environment and thereby facilitate the disposal of same. For example, in one aspect, the process comprises contacting a solubilized polymer and a degradation-enhancing reactant, within an aqueous environment, and subsequently reacting the polymer under conditions that are effective to provide at least one environmentally benign degradation product from the polymer.
