Abstract: A sealant assembly for sealing a conduit, the conduit carrying electrical wires, between inside and outside of an enclosure such as a railroad control box. The sealant assembly may include a plug dimensioned for an interference fit with the conduit and with a bore in a body thereof. The body of the plug may have a slot allowing one to open the bore for inserting electrical wires thereinto. A sealant such as a cure-in-place polymer mix or a cured tape may be used to fill the conduit around the electrical wires. Such a sealant assembly will help keep moisture and harmful critters such as mice, from getting into the enclosure.

Abstract: Applicant discloses a novel method of spray applying multiple courses of a rapid cure, two part polymer sealant to an aircraft surface. The method sometimes uses a two part polymer mix for use in the aircraft industry that is applied with pneumatic mix and spray gun. The two part cartridge is used in the mix and spray gun so the mix is applied immediately upon mixing, but the two components are kept separated unless the gun is applying the mix. The multiple courses cure to form a clear sealant that allows for inspection of cracks and corrosion beneath the sealant. It cures quickly so that the coated part may be further processed, for example in the assembly line during aircraft build. Applicant further discloses multiple spray gun systems for applying such a two-part polymer mix to aircraft parts.

Abstract: A closeable sealant wrap for placement about a workpiece includes a skin with a surface having a body dimensioned similar to the skin but narrower in width. Various closure means are deployed at one or more perimeter portions of the skin. The closure means may for example be a zipper which allows the sealant wrap to be enclosed around a wire, a fiber or a bundle of wires or fibers. The skin may be porous or non-porous. The body is a non-hardening, tacky polymer.

Abstract: An assembly to provide a moisture proof or moisture resistant seal about a bundle of wires. The assembly includes a shrink boot, such as a cold shrink boot, and a tacky sealant, such as a polyurethane gel, that will deform and flow under the pressure of a collapsing tube of the shrink boot.

Abstract: A number of tacky polyurethane or other gel comprising composites are provided. The composites have foam carriers, which may be open cell, semi-open cell, reticulated or closed-cell foam. The tacky gel which, in one embodiment, may be polyurethane, typically comprising a thin surface coating on the foam gel and the foam is partially or fully saturated with the same gel comprising the thin surface layer of the foam. The skeletons may be included in the composite to provide additional structure integrity, and a moisture proof layer may be added to the top and/or bottom surfaces of the foam/gel.

Abstract: Gaskets, including aircraft gaskets, are disclosed, the gaskets having an elastomeric gel body and substantially incompressible skeletons. The bodies may be pliable and deformable and, in one example, may be comprised of a two-part chemically cured polyurethane that sets up as a gel after mixing with the web so that it is fully integral with the web and so that there is substantially no air bubbles or air pockets left in the web. The web may be a regular shaped web and made of nylon.

Abstract: A system (10) for personalization of patient pathways and treatment options includes a patient information database (32) which stores patient data relating to a patient's medical records. A patient personalization system (12) receives the patient's lifestyle values and preferences and evaluates choices of pathways and treatments and a clinical decision support system (18) generates choices of pathways and treatments from the patient data and the patient's lifestyle values and preferences.

Abstract: A sealant is provided for use on an aircraft or other vehicle. The sealant may be used with a gasket. The sealant is a perimeter seal that comprises a polyurea member. The polyurea member is a self-curing, two-component mix. It may cure to a hardness in the range of about 40 to 100 (Shore A). It may maintain an adequate peel strength to withstand multiple thermal and pressure cycling, and may have a working life, wherein it may be shaped, of less than about eleven minutes.

Abstract: An assembly for use on an aircraft wing having an aircraft skin and a fuel tank, the assembly comprising a metal access door for accessing the fuel tank, a metal retainer ring for engaging the wing and the access door. Fasteners removably couple the access door to the retainer ring. A lip, which may be on the wing surface, is configured to receive a perimeter of the access door when the access door is coupled to the retainer ring. A polyurethane elastomeric gel gasket having a metallic skeleton is configured to lay between the access door and a lip of the metal wing surface. Under compression, the polyurethane will deform and squeeze out the edges and flatten so as to provide metal-to-metal contact between the access door and the lip.
