Title: Portable clean air supply assembly for designated volume air cleaning
Inventor: HASLEBACHER WILLIAM J
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 1999-07-21
Granted: 2004-02-12
Abstract: An adjustably directable clean air delivery supply assembly which provides clean air for use in weather protected environments. This assembly is, doorway passable and rollably positioned, to be utilized where activities require very clean air per strict specifications. When located, the device can quickly be unfolded and positioned for operation to produce clean air in the desired direction at minimal-eddy producing airflow. Surrounding unfiltered air is drawn in just above floor level through a pre-filter into a airtight lower hollow housing, which contains an interior powered air moving assembly, and discharged upwardly into the tower hollow housing which is supported on top of the lower hollow housing. Secured to the tower hollow housing is an adjustable telescoping height and rotatable positioning structural tube, which receives and directs the air upwardly through a self-sealing bellows into the top final filter hood assembly. The bellows encapsulates a fully adjustable, interconnecting, angularly adjustable, positioning hinge. The pre-filtered air then passes through a final filter such as a high efficiency particle arrestor type air filter. The final filtered air then is discharged in a desired direction at a selected volume into a shrouded or unshrouded area. The top final filter hood assembly is movable through one hundred eighty degrees of vertical arc, horizontally rotatable, and can be raised or lowered for operation, or folded against the lower hollow housing for storage. This self-contained clean air supply assembly can be transported, adjusted, and reused without recertification testing, when it is handled and operated properly.

Title: Gamma radiation detection
Inventor: MAGUIRE DENNIS DAVID
IPC: G01T1/04
Filed: 1994-03-30
Granted: 1996-04-26
Abstract: A gamma radiation dosimeter comprises a polyester film substrate 10, of which a central circular region 12 is coated with a gamma-radiation sensitive layer 14 which is covered by an overlayer 16. The radiation-sensitive layer 14 is formed from styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer and contains 1-bromoadamantane and a leuco dye. The overlayer 16 is formed from an acrylic resin binder containing a UV-absorber. The central region 12 is surround by an annular region 18 which is divided into six equally-sized sections 18a.....18f. Each section 18a.....18f is printed in a colour which corresponds to the colour developed in the central region 14 when it has been exposed to successive increasing amounts of gamma radiation. After exposure of the device, the amount of radiation to which the device has been exposed can be determined by comparing the colour generated in the region 14 with the colours of the sections 18a.....18f. The colour of the section most closely corresponding to that of the central region indicates the dose of gamma radiation which the device, and any other object similarly exposed, has received. <IMAGE>

Title: Electrical surge arrester/diverter
Inventor: DOONE RODNEY MEREDITH
IPC: H01C7/12
Filed: 1987-01-29
Granted: 1991-03-28
Abstract: A distribution class surge arrester comprises a core formed of distributed zinc oxide varistor blocks, aluminium blocks acting as heat sinks and as spacers providing voltage grading and required arcing distances, and terminal blocks held in face to face contact by means of a glass reinforced epoxy shell which is formed by winding a pre-preg onto the assembled blocks and thermally curing under mould pressure within an evacuated mould. The core is housed within a polymeric shedded housing which is formed by shrinking a heat-shrink shedded sleeve onto the core with a sealant provided in the interface of the core and the sleeve, and end caps are sealed to the ends of the structure thus formed. The all solid-state arrester thus formed has performance and cost advantages over conventional porcelain housed arresters and furthermore has very considerable physical strength enabling it to serve additionally as a stand-off support insulator in situations where con­ventionally separate arrester and support insulators were required.
