  • Publication number: 20180257944
    Abstract: A system for ammonia distillation may include a condenser to condense ammonia vapor into liquid anhydrous ammonia, a flush tank to receive a flushed portion of the liquid anhydrous ammonia, a collection tank to receive a collected portion of the liquid anhydrous ammonia, and a corrosion inhibitor dispenser to transfer a corrosion inhibitor to the collected portion of the liquid anhydrous ammonia to form corrosion-inhibiting liquid anhydrous ammonia.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20090044896
    Abstract: A thermal protection paste as described herein can be used by itself, or impregnated into a high temperature resistant fabric to form a repair patch, to repair a thermal protection structure. The paste includes a ceramic composition that includes ceramic material having at least a first controlled particle size and a second controlled particle size that is larger than the first controlled particle size. The ceramic composition is mixed into a high temperature ceramic precursor resin to form the paste. The paste (or patch) is applied to the structure under repair and initially heated to cure the paste and to secure it in place. When the paste and/or patch is cured, it becomes a cross-linked polymer having high thermal protection characteristics. When the paste is exposed to very high temperature, e.g., spacecraft reentry temperatures, it pyrolizes and retains its high thermal protection characteristics.

  • Patent number: 5375820
    Abstract: A drop-in spring assembly unit and method of manufacture of furniture. The assembly unit includes a plurality of spring elements coupled together by unique individual grid inserts, a wire base that may be customized to customer specifications and a border wire surrounding the top perimeter of the unit. The grid inserts are assembled prior to assembly of the drop-in unit and are coupled to spring elements by cushion clips.
