Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100096124SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INJECTING OR RETRIEVING TUBEWIRE INTO OR OUT OF COILED TUBING - The present invention provides systems and methods for injecting or retrieving tubewire into or out of coiled tubing. The system comprises an injector, coiled tubing coupled to the injector and a pumping mechanism. The injector is adapted to apply a force to inject or retrieve the tubewire into or out of the coiled tubing while the pump pumps fluid in the direction of the force to provide fluid drag on the tubewire. The tubewire may be bent or straightened, and may include a protuberance on its free end to assist in the injection and retrieval process. During injection, the coiled tubing may remain on a reel or may be stretched out along a surface.04-22-2010

20080276368Accelerated Tub Drain - The present invention provides a drain system for a walk-in bathtub. The drain system includes a conventional drain opening in the bottom of the walk-in bathtub and a second drain opening in the side of the foot well of the bathtub. A motorized pump pumps water out of the bathtub through the second drain opening in the foot well. A first drain line provides water outflow from the conventional drain opening to a primary drain pipe. A second drain line provides outflow from the motorized pump to the primary drain pipe, and a third drain line joins the primary drain pipe from an overflow opening near the top of the bathtub. A low water sensor is coupled to the second drain line and motorized pump and deactivates the pump when the water level in the bathtub is equal to or lower than the second drain opening.11-13-2008
20100263119Door Assembly for Walk-In Bathtub - The present invention provides a door assembly for a walk-in bathtub. The invention includes a door that fits within a door threshold in a wall of the walk-in tub. The door assembly further comprises a hinge assembly that includes a first axis mount coupled to the door threshold and a second axis mount coupled to the outer side of the door. A double axis hinge is coupled to both axis mounts, thereby connecting the door to the bathtub. The double axis hinge opens the door to the inside of the tub by pivoting about the first axis toward the interior of the bathtub as the door in turn counter rotates about the second axis at the distal end of the hinge, in the direction opposite to that of the hinge.10-21-2010

20100092753OIL-EXTENDED, LOW STYRENE CONTENT STYRENE-BUTADIENE-STYRENE TRIBLOCK COPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES FABRICATED THEREFROM - The present invention relates to oil-extended styrenic block copolymer compositions that include a thermoplastic polymer, such as polystyrene, and a styrenic block copolymer, especially a linear styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer, with a styrene content less than 23 percent by weight, based upon total composition weight. The compositions yield very thin polymeric films with satisfactory physical properties.04-15-2010

20100003338Micelles for delivery of nitric oxide - Embodiments include a vehicle for delivery of nitric oxide comprising: a collection of micelles having an internal micelle core that comprises a polymer with N-diazeniumdiolate comprising NO complexed with secondary amines of the polymer. Embodiments include a method of making a nitric oxide vehicle comprising dissolving a polymer that comprises secondary amines in an aqueous solution and combining the polymer with nitric oxide in the solution to form a N-diazeniumdiolate comprising the nitric oxide complexed with the secondary amines, with the formation of the N-diazeniumdiolate causing the polymer to be at least partially insoluble in the solution and to form a collection of micelles that have an internal core that comprises N-diazeniumdiolate.01-07-2010
