Abstract: A power transmission belt comprising a belt body having a length and defining at least one elongate rib, the rib having an exposed surface that engages a cooperating pulley, the exposed rib surface having at least one longitudinal groove formed therein which reduces transverse modulus of the surfaces engaging the cooperating pulley and thereby reduce noise accompanying running of the belt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an epoxy-based thermally insulating paint composition and its specific use for coating the surface, in particular the inner surface, of oil and gas pipes. The oil and gas pipes thus coated have excellent insulating properties and the formation of undesired waxes or hydrates is significantly reduced. The composition typically comprises 30-70% by solids volume of an epoxy based binder system, 10-50% by solids volume of hollow microspheres, and 1-25% by solid volume of further paint constituents.

Abstract: A power socket with illuminated plug blade slots that includes an illumination mechanism for illuminating the interior area of each plug blade slot. The illumination mechanism has two color outputs for illuminating the neutral plug blade slot a first color and illuminating the hot plug blade slot a second color.
