Abstract: One possible embodiment of the present invention could be a cover for sealing a ceiling-mounted HVAC vent comprising of a rectangular base with several edges; several rectangular cover walls, each cover wall being attached to a respective edge, the base and cover walls being originally arranged in a cruciform shape; wherein the cover walls provide a force fit upon the interior sides of a framework of a ceiling mounted HVAC vent to hold the cover in place within the hollow interior of the framework.

Abstract: One possible of the embodiment could be a toe-kick air outlet cover comprising of a body having at least three walls and a four-edged cover plate; the walls are attached to three respective and continuous edges of the four-edged cover plate to generally form a continuous wall structure; a bar, the bar being connected to the continuous wall structure; wherein the body further forms an open bottom and an open side, with the open bottom being placed over a toe kick airway and the open side being placed against a toe kick ventilator to continuously connect the airway to the ventilator.

Abstract: One possible embodiment of the invention could be a construction ventilation cover for HVAC air outlets comprising of a body, the body having a top cover, the top cover having a top and a bottom; a box support attached to the bottom, wherein the box support is sized and shaped to fit snugly within a HVAC air outlet with at least a portion of the unattached bottom making contact with at least a portion of the surrounding structure defining the air outlet. Another version of this invention could be a ventilation register that is modified to have the register's movable louvers, adjusting lever and linkage removed; a lid added to cover the register's grill; and a peripheral flange extension added to the bottom portion of the register.

Abstract: One possible embodiment of the invention could be a protective construction ventilation register and a methodology of operating same. One possible version of the register could comprise of a framework having a peripheral flange attached to an overlying flange, the peripheral flange further defining an air passage; a grid work attached to the overlying flange and located within at least a portion of the air passage; a set of two flexible flaps overlaying the grid work, each flap having an attached edge securing the flap to the overlying flange and unattached edge; a set of deflectors located under grid work that directs the forced air from the underneath the grid work towards unattached edges; wherein the flaps can move from a first closed position covering the grid work to a second open position that has an angle that is less then perpendicular to the plane of the overlying flange.

Abstract: A storable cement system comprises a suspending agent, a cement spacer and water. The composition may further optional contain a surfactant and/or an organic solvent and/or a weighting material. The suspending agent is preferably a carrageenan or scleroglucan. The cement system may be stored for an extended period of time prior to being interposed between a cement slurry and a drilling fluid. As such, the aqueous cement system may be made off-site and used when desired for preventing contact between non-compatible hydrocarbonaceous and aqueous fluids.

Abstract: A maintenance-free open industrial storage battery includes an electrode assembly comprising at least one positive electrode, one negative electrode, one separator disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, an alkaline electrolyte covering the top end of the assembly before electrical cycling and a valve the relative operating pressure of which is less than 1 bar. The total capacity of the negative electrodes is greater than the total capacity of the positive electrodes. The separator is permeable to oxygen and the storage battery contains an oxygen recombination device such that after at least one cycle of charging and discharging the storage battery operates without loss of electrolyte at a charging current at least equal to Ic/10 where Ic is the current discharging the capacity of the storage battery in one hour.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell has an alkaline electrolyte comprising a stack placed in a container and composed of at least one anode and at least one cathode containing nickel hydroxide. An oxygen recombination system has at least one recombination electrode which is at least partially hydrophobic and has two opposite faces of large surface area. A first face is joined to the anode. The cell is characterized in that the recombination electrode is associated with a rigid structure which forms, in contact with the second face of the electrode, a nonreducible volume space of small width so as to allow oxygen access throughout the duration of use of the cell.
