Publication number: 20120037256Abstract: A pipe insulation product including a core of insulating material and a roughly rectangular laminate. The core may include an outer surface; an inner surface; and a wall extending between the outer and inner surfaces. The laminate may include a foil or metallized polymeric film sheet layer, a scrim, a porous media sheet layer, and a polymeric film sheet layer bonded together via an adhesive. The polymeric film sheet layer may also include a closure flap that adhesively couples opposite ends of the laminate together to form a cylindrical tube with the core enclosed therein. A charge dissipator may be applied to the polymeric film sheet layer in an amount sufficient to reduce generation of a static charge on the laminate's exterior surface without affecting the closure flap's ability to adhesively couple the opposite ends of the laminate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2010Publication date: February 16, 2012Inventors: Monroe William Shumate, Derek Cooper Bristol

Publication number: 20120033312Abstract: An apparatus includes a mirror. The mirror has a transmissivity, a reflectivity, a front side, and a back side. The apparatus further includes a substantially transparent layer, the substantially transparent layer is located on the back side; and a dark layer, the dark layer contains an aperture and is applied to the substantially transparent layer wherein a combination of the mirror, the substantially transparent layer, and the dark layer have a combined reflectivity and a combined color when viewed from the front side which causes a media display device to vanish when the media display device is off and is mounted over the aperture on the back side of the mirror.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: Electric Mirror, LLCInventors: James V. Mischel, JR., James V. Mischel, SR.

Publication number: 20120029444Abstract: A catheter sheath for an irrigation catheter comprises an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. At least one electrode is arranged on the elongate member. A plurality of elongate elements are contained in the elongate member, the elongate elements comprising at least one electrical conductor and at least one element of a non-conductive material arranged adjacent the at least one conductor to form at least one non-conductive region associated with the elongate member. At least one passage extends through a wall of the elongate member to intersect the non-conductive region and to be in communication with the lumen of the elongate member. The at least one passage has an outlet opening in, or adjacent, the at least one electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2009Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: CATHRX LTDInventors: Neil Lawrence Anderson, Evan Ka-Loke Chong, James Panos, Zoran Milijasevic

Publication number: 20120024300Abstract: A device for protecting an area of skin of a human body includes a plate. The plate includes a first face covered by an external layer and a second face opposite the external layer. The second face is configured to be applied onto an area of skin to be protected. The plate also includes a protective part made of a polymer gel and at least one adhesive part made of a polymer gel. The protective part is configured to ensure mechanical protection of the area to be protected and the adhesive part is configured to come into contact with the skin. The adhesive part has an adhesive power greater than an adhesive power of the protective layer to hold the plate on the area to be protected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: MILLET INNOVATIONInventors: Jean-Pierre DOMINGUEZ, Damien MILLET, Jean-Claude MILLET

Publication number: 20120019270Abstract: A pipette suitable for carrying out patch clamp techniques for characterizing the physiology of living cells is constructed using microfabrication techniques applied to silicon wafers. The pipette includes a body portion configured for mounting in a micromanipulator and a patch tip having a patch aperture. An internal passage through the pipette permits controlled dialysis of the cell contents. A solid conductive electrode near the patch tip can be connected to suitable electronics, permitting electrical activity of the cell to be monitored with very low access resistance and lowering the capacitance of the pipette. Other microfluidic devices such as pumps and valves are integrated into the device so that the dialysis can be rapidly controlled by electronic means. The pipette can also be configured so that multiple cells can be patched simultaneously, or multiple patches can be made on a single cell simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Inventors: Dario G. Amodei, Eve R. Schneider, Frederick S. Soo
