Publication number: 20140174557Abstract: A method and apparatus for insulating a fluid line in a container configured to contain a fluid. The apparatus comprises a container, a fluid line in the container, and a tube. The container is configured to contain a fluid. The tube is placed around the fluid line in the container to form a channel around a first portion of the fluid line. The tube is configured to contain the fluid from the container in the channel and to prevent a first flow of the fluid between the container and the channel except through a number of ends of the tube. The tube is further configured to reduce a second flow of the fluid within the channel such that the fluid in the channel insulates the fluid line.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Michael Lyle Holbrook, Kevin O'Brien Gaw, Gregory M.

Publication number: 20120317917Abstract: A structural support system with a means for capturing and channeling elements originating from an exterior surface is disclosed. More specifically, the support system not only creates a dry area under a deck but is also a load bearing component of the deck. The support system is multifunctional in that it alleviates the need for traditional joist-dependent construction methods while simultaneously providing an efficient and aesthetically pleasing structure for maintaining a useful, dry area under the deck. Advantageously, embodiments are scalable in that the system comprises a repeatable series of interlocking components operable to be customized to any foreseeable deck footprint or load bearing application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2012Publication date: December 20, 2012Inventors: Harold M. Hawkins, III, Michael A. Lyle, Timothy G. Osby
