20100301266 | Coal Topper Dust Control Formulation, System and Method - This disclosure describes formulations, systems and methods for coal topping, a term which refers to the application of liquid products to the top of coal loads, such as those in open topped coal hopper railcars as commonly used today to transport coal. Disclosed herein are controlled viscosity fluid formulations suitable for use as a coal topper. The fluids include water as a base solvent, polymer and, optionally, crosslinking agents and plasticizer. The polymer is a water-soluble polymer with reactive groups capable of producing viscosity in the solvent and reacting with crosslinking agents and the plasticizer. The polymer is one capable of manipulation to produce appropriate viscosity levels on a consistent basis. Crosslinking agents consist of chemicals capable of reacting with the reactive polymer to produce complexes that become essentially insoluble on drying. The plasticizer is an agent capable of providing for a dried matrix with flexibility without loss of strength. | 12-02-2010 |

20160100559 | STRUCTURE FOR ATTRACTING AND ACCUMULATING AQUATIC ORGANISMS - A structure for attracting and accumulating aquatic organisms that is a simple, inexpensive, non-degradable unit, easy to assemble and use, as well as easy to retrieve and move for use in a different location, formed of a central 4″ PVC pipe having cut outs through which are inserted bar slats made of solid, generally rigid, 100% PVC material. The bar installation is a compressed fit into the cut-out sections of pipe, forming a compress fit, self-expanding, spring-lock design. Holes may be drilled in each end of the central pipe so that a hook may be inserted in one end, allowing the habitat structure to be hung from a dock or tethered to another stationary object, or retrieved with a boat hook for ease in removal and relocation. Alternatively, the use of coupling connections permits joining one habitat structure to another in order to form a larger habitat structure. | 04-14-2016 |

20080275364 | FLASHBACK BLOOD COLLECTION NEEDLE - The invention is a self-venting blood collection needle assembly for the extraction of at least one fluid sample into an evacuated container for laboratory testing, this blood collection needle assembly providing a clear or translucent flashback chamber for blood to flow into, for visualization by the user to confirm successful vein entry. The self-venting mechanism permits escape of air during use, and which, typically, also prevents an outflow of fluid, such as blood. Thus, air under venous pressure will be allowed to escape from the blood collection needle assembly until blood reaches the venting mechanism. | 11-06-2008 |
