Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110146830Shear Increasing System - A piping system employs a friction layer of windings, beads or pellets placed between insulation layers and/or on the outermost layer, that being the insulation layer if no jacket is employed or the jacket if it is employed. The windings, beads or pellets are wrapped or applied while the layer is uncured or warm so as to embed themselves into the surface and create a uneven, bumpy or undulating surface. The resulting product increases friction both internally and externally to better restrain or inhibit pipe movement in underground, marine, or subsea applications or provide restraint to the surrounding environment (earth, concrete, etc.).06-23-2011

20100081362APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TESTING THE POLISHABILITY OF MATERIALS - A method and apparatus for measuring the polishability of a solid material such as a dental restorative material includes using a series of apparatus to perform the steps of forming the material into a desired specimen with a generally planar surface, conditioning the surface by abrasion, measuring the abraded surface with a profile determination device, optionally measuring the amount of material abraded from the surface and the gloss of the abraded surface, polishing a portion of the abraded surface with a polishing device at a controlled load for a pre-determined time and measuring the roughness and/or gloss of the polished surface followed by comparison thereof to the corresponding measurements of the unpolished, conditioned portion of the specimen surface. Polishing materials and devices may also be tested using the apparatus and method for polishing a standardized material.04-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090016192RADIAL POSITION REGISTRATION FOR NON-DATA SIDE OF OPTICAL DISC - The invention provides reference patterns marked on a non-data side of an optical disc. When the optical disc, according to the invention, is installed within an optical information recording apparatus, the reference patterns enable an optical pick-up unit of the optical information recording apparatus to register at at least one reference radial position on the no-data side of the optical disc. The at least one reference radial position is for assisting the optical pick-up unit to record a label on the non-data side of the optical disc.01-15-2009
