  • SOLAR COLLECTOR
    Publication number: 20130186388
    Abstract: A solar collector for heating and transferring fluids, having an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold through which fluid is respectively transferred into and out of the solar collector; and a plurality of polymer tubes each connected between the inlet and outlet manifolds, the polymer tubes having co-extruded concentric inner and outer tube layers, wherein the outer tube layer is composed of a harder polymer than the inner tube layer.

  • Resilient product
    Patent number: 7611769
    Abstract: This invention relates to resilient product including a relatively soft workding section (2) secured to a surface of a relatively hard interlayer (4). An opposed surface of the interlayer (4) includes a mounting section (3) which functions to secure the resilient product to a support. The resilient product is particularly suitable for providing a sealing member or a resilient mounting member. The ability of the resilient product to be secured to a support, and remain secured to that support is a particular advantage.

  • Methods of making molybdenum titanium sputtering plates and targets
    Publication number: 20070089984
    Abstract: Molybdenum titanium sputter targets are provided. In one aspect, the targets are substantially free of the ?(Ti, Mo) alloy phase. In another aspect, the targets are substantially comprised of single phase ?(Ti, Mo) alloy. In both aspects, particulate emission during sputtering is reduced. Methods of preparing the targets, methods of bonding targets together to produce large area sputter targets, and films produced by the targets, are also provided.
