Abstract: Pipe supports are described herein. A pipe support can include a first elongated body having a first top surface for supporting a pipe having a pipe surface, a second elongated body having a second top surface for supporting the pipe and a support structure slidably coupled to the first elongated body and to the second elongated body such that the first top surface or the second top surface is in contact with the pipe surface when the other of the first top surface and the second top surface is not in contact with the pipe surface.

Abstract: Movable pipe supports are described herein. A movable pipe support can include a pipe support apparatus body having a slot sized to accommodate a first end of a lever arm positioned such that it extends through the slot, a pipe support structure attached to the first end of the lever arm and having an outer surface for contacting an outer surface of the pipe, and a pivot mechanism to allow the outer surface of the pipe support structure to continue to be in contact with the outer surface of the pipe while the pivot mechanism moves the outer surface of the pipe support structure along the outer surface of the pipe.

Abstract: A novel flocculated methanation, hydrogenation or hydrodesulfurization catalyst of the form MS.sub.2 :Y:Z wherein MS.sub.2 is a single layer transition metal dichalcogenide sulfide, Y is a promoter substance and Z is a support substance, is disclosed.

Abstract: Novel single layer materials of the form MX.sub.2, where MX.sub.2 is a layer-type dichalcogenide such as MoS.sub.2, TaS.sub.2, WS.sub.2, or the like, exfoliated by intercalation of an alkali metal, and immersion in water, are disclosed. MoS.sub.2 has been exfoliated into monolayers by intercalation with lithium followed by reaction with water. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the exfoliated MoS.sub.2 in suspension is in the form of one-molecule-thick sheets. X-ray patterns from dried and re-stacked films of exfoliated MoS.sub.2 indicate that the layers are randomly stacked. By adsorbing monolayers or precipitating clusters of various species such as compounds of Co, Ni, Pb, Cd, Al, Ce, In and Zn, on MoS.sub.2 while the sulfide is suspended as single layers and then recrystallizing, a new group of inclusion compounds can be formed. In the re-crystallized or re-stacked materials, the inter-layer spacing can be expanded or contracted compared to MoS.sub.2.
