Title: Hydrophilic anode corrosion control system
Inventor: HAGLIN PATRICK G
IPC: C23F13/16
Filed: 1995-11-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing corrosion on the interior and exterior of a fuel storage tank. A galvanic anode assembly is placed within the interior of or exterior to the fuel storage tank and is surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic gel. The hydrophilic gel absorbs water in the fuel storage tank, thus removing it from contact with the tank. The hydrophilic gel also absorbs metal ions produced as the anode is consumed. The hydrophilic gel is maintained around the anode assembly by a porous container. The anode, hydrophilic gel, and porous container are maintained within a flexible container that allows water and fluid contained within the fuel storage tank to contact the hydrophilic gel. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic gel includes a polyacrylamide material.

Title: Custom dental tray
Inventor: JACOBS SCOTT
IPC: A61C19/06
Filed: 1996-04-17
Abstract: A dual dental tray assembly is provided which includes a pliable resilient outer dental tray using a pre-formed thin inner tray of thermoplastic material that nests inside the pliable outer tray. The two are heated to between 145 DEG -160 DEG  F. During this time the inner tray is more formable, allowing for the inner tray to be accurately formed over the patient's teeth. The outer tray also prolongs the time during which the inner tray is moldable. The outer tray also operates as a seal with the gums to create a better vacuum created by the patient's sucking. Thus, the inner tray, once formed and cooled, becomes hard and flexible again and provides a thin hard dental tray as accurate as dental trays produced by dentists in their labs on models. The thinner, hard dental tray can then be used for dental treatments including bleaching, fluoride applications, and other dental operations, including provisional crowns and other dental work. The outer tray is usable for fluoride gel treatments.
