The outer surfaces of the adhesive layer and the chamfers are then preheated and the thermal joint insulation is injection molded over the entire joint area. Throughout the entire method the temperature of the factory-applied FBE coating is maintained below its glass transition temperature so as to avoid weakening the bond between the FBE coating and the underlying steel pipe. The number and sequence of steps can be varied, depending at least partly on whether the liquid epoxy and adhesive layers are applied in a pipe coating facility or in the field. | 12-08-2011 |

20120310688 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING SECURITY INTEREST ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS - A legal process management system facilitates simultaneous dynamic dialogs between legal process managers and networked attorneys and contractors providing services in connection with security interest enforcement actions (SIEAs). The legal process managers submit queries and deadlines selected to timely guide the attorneys and contractors through the requirements of the SIEAs. The attorneys and contractors submit responsive answers revealing the status of their SIEAs. In some embodiments, an events based management system uses a stochastic model to calculate completion times for the milestones of the SIEA, including the “events” that make up subparts of the milestones. This provides a flexible and powerful system for managing prosecution of the SIEA and for predicting likely durations. The stochastic model incorporates the concept of both fixed-frequency events and random-frequency events, and also allows for both controlled events and managed events. A reporting system is also provided for keeping track of event and milestone completion. | 12-06-2012 |
