Abstract: A break-in resistant window assembly whose components include a window pane having at least a pair of edges and a corner; a frame boarding the window pane; a sheet of polymeric film overlying the pane, a first adhesive layer fixedly interconnecting the pane and the sheet of polymeric film; and a corner assembly which includes a base portion and a cover portion which are able to be mechanically locked to each other to complete a corner assembly. The base portion includes adhesive pads for bonding both to the corner of the window pane and the corner of the window frame. Trim pieces which abut the base portion are also bonded to the window pane and the window frame by adhesive pads. The cover portion is arranged to extend over the abutting ends of the base portion and the trim pieces and thereby conceal any mismatch between those abutting edges.

Abstract: Method and housing (2) for reducing particulate build-up on a surface of a device (5) contained in a recess (4) defined by the housing (2) when attached to a conduit. The method includes introducing gas into the recess (4) at a high volume and low velocity so that the gas flows in a laminar manner across the surface of the device (5). The volume lies in a range from 80 to 300 liters/minute and the velocity lies in a range from 0.2 to 3.6 meters/second. The method and housing (2) are particularly useful for preventing the build up of coal dust on the face of an ultrasonic transducer (5) used to measure the mass flow rate of coal being pneumatically transferred in the conduit.

Abstract: A repair method for repairing a floor, the floor consisting of a cover stratum and a base stratum, the cover stratum having an upper surface and a lower surface, the base stratum having an upper surface, the lower surface of the cover stratum being fixedly attached to the upper surface of the base stratum, the cover stratum having a damaged area, the damaged area consisting of an aperture having an upper and a lower end, the aperture extending from the upper surface of the cover stratum to the lower surface of the cover stratum, the repair method comprising the steps of painting a section of the upper surface of the base stratum, the section painted spanning across the lower end of the aperture; pouring filler into the aperture; and, pouring adhesive into the filler.
