20090018266 | Preparation of hydrophilic nanoparticles by copolymerization of mono and divinyl monomers in micellar solution - The present invention relates to the preparation of hydrophilic nanoparticles and in particular hydrophilic nanoparticles that are biocompatible. Free radical monovinyl-divinyl monomer copolymerization/cross-linking reactions of water-soluble, monovinyl N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) with a bi-unsaturated divinyl, comonomer (poly{ethylene glycol}dimethacrylate) (PEGDMA), has been found to yield hydrophilic nanoparticles (NPs). These nanoparticles are built from three-dimensional nanopolymer networks. In the polymers' synthesis the composition of the monomers, and the total monomer concentration were varied. The characteristics of copolymers were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Particle size and morphology of nanoparticles were confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) methods. In the present invention hydrophilic polymers can be used in micellar polymerization to create hydrophilic nanoparticles. | 01-15-2009 |

20130061383 | HIGH FLOW WATER RETURN FITTING FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS - The high flow water return fitting of the present invention is designed to connect directly to the end of a water return pipe in a swimming pool, spa, or the like. Water return fittings have been available for many years and have the primary purpose of returning filtered water back into a swimming pool, spa, or the like. However, the water return fitting of the present invention does not only return water into the swimming pool, it also substantially increases the water outflow so that a greater area of water in the pool can be circulated or agitated. The present invention has a uniquely curved nozzle with a flat flange. Both the curvature of the nozzle and the flat flange promote the accumulation of water within the nozzle so as to build up pressure that then pushes the water out a small outlet hole at a greater rate than does a conventional water return fitting. The outflow from the nozzle then creates a low pressure condition within a mixing chamber. Thus, the low pressure condition draws water in from the swimming pool through various louvers into the mixing chamber where it is mixed with the outflow of water from the nozzle to increase the total amount of water flowing out of the water return fitting of the present invention. | 03-14-2013 |

20110120791 | Seat panel and gunner's turret panel for transporting miscellaneous equipment for use in military vehicles - A sling leather seat, seven inches wide, and approximately 29-30 inches long, having first and second end pieces and a center segment upon which a turret gunner can be seated, has a first ring between the first end piece and the middle segment, and a second ring between the second end piece and the middle segment. A leather waist belt is connected to the sling seat by a pair of elongated tethers connected between the first and second rings and the waist belt, respectively, including chains, cables and/or straps as the tethers which are of a length to allow the gunner to stand up, off the sling seat, but which will prevent the gunner from being ejected from the gun turret in the event of a vehicle rollover. The first and second end pieces of the sling seat are connected to a pair of rings, respectively, on the interior of the gun turret. The body belt in the preferred embodiment is tethered to the sling seat. In an alternative embodiment, the body belt can be tethered to a third ring anchored at or near the gunner's feet inside the turret. Alternative embodiments use PALS webbing stitched to a seat cover for Humvee, truck or tank seats, or for Gunners' Turret Panels, used to accommodate MOLLE pouches of various utility. | 05-26-2011 |
