Patent EP-1144869-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DE JAGER VERNON
IPC: F04D29/60
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method for slurrying waste materials and drill cuttings. The apparatus includes a pump having a chamber an inlet opening into the bottom of the chamber, an impeller, an outlet on one side of the chamber for removal of material into a discharge line, and circumferentially spaced circulation ports in the chamber side. The impeller extends below the chamber and breaks up debris in addition to drawing material into the pump chamber. The pump may be rotated by a swivel connection and moved and manipulated in the tank by a crane arm, or it may be suspended by cable or other means. The pump stirs up a slurry by rotating the impeller, opening the circulation ports at least partially so that the material entering the bottom inlet to the chamber and being agitated by the impeller is forced out of the circulation ports. The pump can operate in the stirring mode until the material to be removed is generally homogenious, whereupon the circulation ports can be closed allowing the impeller to direct the slurry through the side outlet of the chamber into the discharge line. The stirring or slurrying mode can be combined with a discharge mode by opening the circulation ports as required to slurrify the material while it is pumped out the discharge line. An auxiliary discharge conduit may also be connected with the outlet to discharge material back into the tank to exchange upper fluid layers with lower layers.

Patent HK-1004541-A1 (HK)
Title: A luggage case and a process for making a luggage case shell
Inventor: YOUNESSIAN ELLIOT J
IPC: B29C48/355
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: The inventive process forms a thermoformable preform by pressure laminating a layer of cloth fabric to one face of the thermoplastic substrate, preferably as the substrate is extruded and while still hot from the extrusion process. This fabric/thermoplastic laminated preform can be easily processed in a matched mold press. The fabric should be of a non-stretch type. This non-stretch characteristic, together with its intimate bonding to the thermoplastic substrate, prevents the substrate from thinning in the corner regions. Indeed, because the intimately bonded fabric drags or pulls the substrate from a number of directions as the corner regions are formed, the thermoplastic substrate accumulates and actually thickens in the corner regions, leading to a shell which is remarkably durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a unique vehicle system which provides a desirable rheology to products formulated therewith, enhanced dispersion of actives therein, and improved deposition of actives therefrom. This vehicle system comprises a primary thickening agent which is a nonionic long-chain alkylated water-soluble polymer, and a secondary thickening agent which is a water-soluble polymer having a molecular weight greater than about 20,000, preferably a natural polysaccharide, dispersed in a compatible solvent. Optionally, a rheological aid, which is a chelating agent, may be included in the vehicle system. Also, optionally, a distributing aid, which is a water-soluble polymer of either high molecular weight or strong ionic character may be included in the vehicle system. These vehicle systems are useful in cosmetic compositions which are used to deliver an active component to the skin or hair. The vehicle systems are particularly useful in hair care compositions, especially rinse-off hair conditioning compositions, because they effectively deliver the hair conditioning component to the hair without depositing a substantial amount of the vehicle material onto the hair.
