Title: Method and apparatus for repairing conduits
Inventor: MAIMETS LEMBIT
IPC: F16L55/163
Filed: 1993-03-09
Abstract: Method and apparatus for internal repair of conduit system. An inner sleeve is employed which is configured to avoid undue pressure being applied to the inner surface of a damaged conduit section as it is expanded into position. A grouting area is defined between the outer surface of the sleeve and the inner surface of the conduit section or sections being repaired. In one embodiment, a layer of open-celled material is placed around the coiled sleeve, which is thereafter impregnated with a quantity of grout. In this embodiment of the invention, each longitudinal end of the sleeve is flared outwardly for contacting the inner surface of the damaged conduit section and for retaining the grout as it is squeezed out of the gasket upon the expansion of the inner sleeve to its expanded and locked position.

Title: Methods of and apparatus for laying turf
Inventor: CASIMATY GABRIEL
IPC: A01G1/00
Filed: 1995-11-06
Abstract: An apparatus, and related method, for laying sand and/or a sand reinforcement matrix onto a pre-prepared surface, includes an apparatus having a hopper for providing a matrix to be laid, a plunger at the forward end, in the sense of direction of movement of the apparatus, of the hopper and an element for reciprocating the plunger for taking material from the hopper and delivering it through an extrusion aperture in the rear thereof to an extrusion mold. The extrusion is effected by moving forwardly as pressure is applied to the matrix to be extruded and as the mold passes over the matrix. The extrusion of a sand, or a sand reinforcement, is compacted in the extrusion by using the weight of the apparatus against which the extrusion plunger acts together with the impaction of previously extruded material. The plunger moves forwardly so that material in the hopper can fall in front of the plunger; the plunger is moved rearwardly causing this material to move into the extrusion mold until compaction commences to take place, at which time compaction is increased until the pressure on the plunger is sufficient to physically cause the apparatus to move.

Title: Electric-field structuring of composite materials
Inventor: WHATMORE ROGER WILLIAM
IPC: B03C5/02
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the spatial distribution of a filler component within the matrix of a composite material. An electric field is applied to a mixture consisting of two or more components that have different dielectric permittivities, at least one of which is initially in the form of a liquid polymer or pre-polymer. An alternating electric field is established between a pair of electrical conductors or electrodes that are moved relative to each other, so as to alter the spatial intensity of the electric field in a controlled manner. Polarized particles or elements of the filler component that are coupled to a moving electrode by a dielectrophoretic force can consequently be dragged into a predetermined spatial configuration. As the size of the inter-electrode gap is changed, the applied voltage can be adjusted in order to maintain electrically induced polarization of the filler component.

Title: An improved method for the production and purification of adenoviral vectors
Inventor: ZHANG SHUYUAN
IPC: A61K35/761
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to improve the yields of viral vectors when grown in cell culture systems. In particular, it has been demonstrated that for adenovirus, the use of low-medium perfusion rates in an attached cell culture system provides for improved yields. In other embodiments, the inventors have shown that there is improved Ad-p53 production with cells grown in serum-free conditions, and in particular in serum-free suspension culture. Also important to the increase of yields is the use of detergent lysis. Combination of these aspects of the invention permits purification of virus by a single chromatography step that results in purified virus of the same quality as preparations from double CsCl banding using an ultracentrifuge.
