20130305826 | Angle Beam Ultrasonic Probe for Internal Hex Socket Bolts - A tool for inspecting the integrity of fasteners in their environment of use and methods of performing such inspections are disclosed and claimed. The tool includes a probe that matches the internal socket by which the fastener is coupled to the workpiece. The probe contains ultrasonic transducers on flat portions corresponding to flat portions of the socket. The transducers induce angled ultrasonic beams into the fastener to detect flaws therein. The beams are angled so they can be directed to the areas of interest at the head to shank region of the fastener. The presence of a defect such as a crack is determined based on the reply/echoes of the imparted ultrasonic beams. | 11-21-2013 |

20120196959 | ASPHALT PAVING MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - An asphalt paving material comprises an asphalt binder present in an amount of from about 3 to about 8 weight percent of the asphalt paving material. The asphalt binder comprises base asphalt and oxidized polyolefin that is present in an amount of from about 0.25 to about 10 weight percent of the base asphalt. Aggregate is present in an amount of about 92 to about 97 weight percent of the asphalt paving material. The oxidized polyolefin effectively adheres the asphalt binder to the aggregate so as to resist stripping of the asphalt binder from the aggregate caused by moisture. | 08-02-2012 |
20120252939 | ASPHALTIC COMPOSITIONS, FILLED ASPHALTIC MATERIALS, AND METHODS FOR MAKING ASPHALTIC COMPOSITIONS - An asphaltic composition comprises base asphalt and a low molecular weight ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. The low molecular weight ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer is present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of the base asphalt. | 10-04-2012 |
20140069297 | BITUMEN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING - A non-blown roofing grade bitumen composition comprising bitumen feedstock, polyolefin having a molecular weight of from about 800 to about 50,000 g/mol, and optionally one or more additives, wherein the softening point of the composition is above 70° C. as determined according to method ASTM D36 and the penetration of the composition is at least about 12 dmm at 25° C. as determined according to method ASTM D5. A method of making the same. | 03-13-2014 |
20140186116 | METHODS FOR REDUCING ASPHALT PAVEMENT THICKNESS, INCREASING AGGREGATE-TO-AGGREGATE CONTACT OF ASPHALT PAVING MATERIALS, AND IMPROVING LOW TEMPERATURE CRACKING PERFORMANCE OF ASPHALT PAVING MATERIALS - Methods for reducing asphalt pavement thickness, for fabricating asphalt paving material with increased aggregate-to-aggregate contact points, and for fabricating asphalt paving materials with improved low temperature cracking performance are provided. A method for reducing asphalt pavement thickness includes combining a base asphalt, an oxidized polyolefin, and an aggregate to form an asphalt paving material. A layer of the asphalt paving material is deposited on a substrate layer and compacted to a thickness that is less than a thickness of a compacted asphalt paving material formed of the aggregate and the base asphalt with no oxidized polyolefin while achieving the same amount or less of high temperature rutting than the compacted asphalt paving material formed of the aggregate and the base asphalt with no oxidized polyolefin. | 07-03-2014 |
