Inventor: PENDLETON KEVIN D
IPC: F27D1/16
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: Systems (10) and methods are provided whereby pumpable viscous fibrous material may be applied onto surfaces of high temperature process vessels (1 2) while hot (i.e., while at or near such vessels' high operational temperature s of several hundreds up to several thousands of degrees Fahrenheit). More specifically, there are preferably provided a lance (14,30) having a nozzle structure (14-5) at a distal end thereof, and a pump system (18) for pumping a pumpable fibrous refractory material to the nozzle (14-5). The lance (14) ha s a length sufficient to allow it to be inserted into the high temperature process vessel (12) so that the nozzle structure (14-5) is adjacent an area in need of repair while an operator holds a proximal end thereof outside the vessel (12). In use, the lance (14,30) is inserted into the process vessel (12) while the process vessel (12) is at or near its high operational temperature so that the nozzle structure (14-5) is positioned adjacent to an area of the process vessel wall in need of repair, and so that the lance (14,30) may be manipulated from outside the process vessel (12) during repai r of the wall thereof. Manipulating the lance (14,30) from outside the process vessel will thereby cause the atomized spray of the fibrous material to contact the wall of the process vessel (12) thereby repairing the same.</SDO AB>

Title: Natural sunlight photostable composition
Inventor: LOTT DENNIS LEE
IPC: A61K8/35
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to photostable compositions that provide protection from ultraviolet radiation ("UVR"). The invention particularly relates to the sunscreens avobenzone, octocrylene and oxybenzone, forming a triplet combination. Compositions of the present invention are free of diesters or polyesters of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and also are substantially free of substantial amounts of other sunscreens and substantial amounts of optimizing agents. Sunscreens of the invention may be essentially free of, or free of, lower monohydric alcohol and/or acrylates/C12-22 alkylmethacrylate copolymer in an effective non-pilling amount used to gel a C1-C4 alcohol. The triplet combination surprisingly provides and substantially maintains the initial SPF value of the sunscreen composition throughout the period of UVR exposure. Compositions of the invention are photostable such that each of sunscreen active in the triplet combination does not appreciably photodegrade. The present invention accurately communicates the amount of UVR photoprotection actually provided in natural sunlight.

Title: Apparatus and method for evaluating subterranean environments
Inventor: OKUYAMA KEITA
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: A subterranean environment evaluating apparatus and method, which measure, e.g., the geologic distribution coefficient in a subterranean environments using, e.g., a pit formed by boring. The subterranean environment evaluating apparatus comprises a geologic evaluation sensor, a pump, an analyzer, a PC, a data transmitter, etc., and it is disposed in the pit formed underground by boring.
