Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium to receive, via a user interface, a request to create a valuation for a jet engine asset; retrieve information relevant to the jet engine asset for which the valuation is to be created, the information including at least historical data related to a status of the jet engine asset and current market trends; analyze the retrieved information using heuristics to determine a value of the jet engine asset for at least one asset disposition scenario; store a report of the determined value of the jet engine asset; and display, via the user interface, the report of the determined value of the jet engine asset.

Abstract: Method of coating pipe having a raised weld bead. Curable resin polymer is applied to the pipe and allowed to bond to form a cured or partially cured polymer layer on the pipe. Powder form adhesive composition is applied on the polymer layer while hot, with fusion into a film bonding to the polymer. Powder form polyolefin is applied to the adhesive while hot with fusion into a film bonding to the adhesive to form a powder-based coating. Following forming of the powder-based coating, the pipe is cooled from the inside. An outer polyolefin covering is bonded to the powder-based coating and the pipe cooled to ambient temperature. This procedure can avoid voids, cavities or pinholes forming in the coating adjacent the weld bead.

Abstract: This invention relates to the PrtR-PrtK cell surface protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis and in particular a multimeric cell association protein complex comprising the PrtR and PrtK proteins. Accordingly the invention provides a substantially purified antigenic complex for use in raising an antibody response directed against Porphyromonas gingivalis. The complex comprises at least one multimeric protein complex of arginine-specific and lysine-specific thiol endopeptidases each containing at least one adhesin domain, the complex having a molecular weight of greater than about 200 kDa. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and associated agents based on said complex for the detection, prevention and treatment of Periodontal disease associated with P. gingivalis.

Abstract: The present invention provides an insulated pipe comprising a pipe and a composite insulation system, said composite insulation system comprising: (a) a first insulation layer comprising a first insulation material having a thermal conductivity k-factor value of less than 0.023 W/m-K at 38° C.; and (b) at least one additional insulation layer comprising an insulation material having a thermal conductivity k-factor greater than that of the first insulation material and a maximum operating temperature limit less than that of the first insulation layer. The composite insulation system is bonded to an exterior surface of the pipe with the first insulation layer facing towards said exterior surface of the pipe. At least one of said first insulation layer or said at least one additional layer extends continuously about the exterior surface of the pipe. The present invention further provides an insulated pipe for use in an undersea pipeline and an insulated pipe for use in a subterranean pipeline.
