Abstract: A method for reshaping a tube end using a reshaping tool incorporating a tool head and clamp for reshaping the cross section of a tube constructed from one or more polymer materials. The clamp holds the tube in place while the head portion of the tool, which is moveable with respect to the clamp, engages the tube for reshaping its profile cross section. The tube may be crosslinked polyethylene tube.

Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems, apparatuses and products for simulating events utilizing authentic event information. One aspect provides receiving event data associated with one or more real-world events at one or more event data software modules being executed on a computing device; and formatting the event data via the one or more event data software modules into a form utilized by one or more video game applications operable on the computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Free heat or scavenged heat from the coolant system or circulating oil from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine supplies heat to a fuel pre-heater causing the liquid fuel to become superheated and partially vaporized. Liquid fuel preferably diesel is converted from a fluid at ambient temperature to a superheated fuel breaking down the hydrocarbons bonds of the fuel (cracking) before being sent directly to the fuel injectors. Water fog may be added to the air intake manifold. Catalysts inside the fuel preheater also aid in breaking down the fuel (cracking). The fuel pre-heater also operates as a coolant/oil filter to remove debris and sludge from the circulating coolant water or circulating crankcase oil of an internal combustion engine. Fuel efficiency has repeatedly been tested to increase 20% or better with highway driving. Exhaust emissions have been tested to show 20% or more reductions in greenhouse gases.

Abstract: A unitary molded crosslinked polyethylene tubular connector in a metallic sleeve and method for forming the connector with various end configurations (e.g., molded, belled) is described. The process combines the ease of thermoplastic processing combined with the desirable physical properties of a thermoset. The connector is suitable as a replacement for copper tubes with associated fittings as well as polybutylene tubing.

Abstract: A process for the fabrication of a thermoset water heater tube is described. By shifting to a thermoset rather than a thermoplastic, a much higher heat distortion temperature is achieved when compared to standard thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, ABS or PVC. The stress crack resistance is also higher as is the dimensional stability. These desirable properties can be achieved by using a lower cost material, in contrast to a more expensive thermoplastic, and solves the problem of water heater tube failure when dry firing conditions are present. The invention utilizes thermoplastic processing conditions, with subsequent crosslinking to form a thermoset. This combines the best features of both types of materials: (1) the ease of thermoplastic processing; combined with (2) the desirable physical properties of a thermoset.
