Abstract: A composite conduit comprising an inner layer of fibrous material impregnated with a corrosion resistant resin and a fire resistant outer layer thereon, the outer layer comprising a fibrous material impregnated with an effective amount of calcium sulfate.

Abstract: A process for preparing fiber reinforced composite structures utilizing resin transfer molding techniques with vacuum and a resin which is capable of being cured with a peroxide catalyst or photocuring or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for joining and repairing pipes. More particularly, the invention provides a means for quickly repairing or sealing pipes utilizing photocurable resins in the form of a fabric patch. A photocurable flexible prepreg fabric is wrapped over the entire area of the pipe to be joined or repaired. Preferably, the prepreg fabric contains multiple layers of varying widths and lengths. The prepreg fabric is then exposed to UV radiation which cures and seals the pipe.

Abstract: A photocurable putty or molding which is photocurable at a thickness of 20 mm by sunlight. The composition comprises a photocurable resin photoinitiator and as a filler aluminum trihydrate in an amount of about 12 to 70% by weight of composition.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a method of forming a structure which includes at least two laminates each having a minor area of common overlap therebetween and a major area wherein said panels are not overlapped, which comprises the step of forming a primary, wet-to-wet resin bond between said minor areas of common overlap. The invention also contemplates at least one article of manufacture produced by the method.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for forming a large cured reinforced composite structure. The method comprises placing at least one reinforcing fiber mat or fabric into a desired form and enclosing the fiber mat or fabric within a sealed envelope which contains a vacuum port and a resin supply conduit. The supply conduit introduces a curable resin at a rate not to exceed the rate of evacuation. The envelope is filled and the resin is cured.

Abstract: A golf club having a sighting arrangement within the shaft. The sighting arrangement is an aperture positioned above a vertically extended slot for projecting an imaginary target area on the ground.

Abstract: A photocurable composition comprising the reaction products of hydroxy terminated liquid sulfide or polysulfide oligomers with photocurable ethylenically unsaturated compounds. The products provide improved sealants for air and marine vehicles.

Abstract: The invention concerns a patch or repair assembly for repairing vehicles, installations and parts.
