20120318832 | HOOK-SHAPED WATER BOTTLE THAT SLIDES AND HOOKS INTO A WAISTBAND OR BELT - A water bottle has a hook-shaped design that allows a user to easily slide it into a waistband or into a pocket without requiring extra hardware to attach it. The hook of the bottle rests on the waistband and the lower portion water bottle stays put, tucked inside the user's waistband while the person is in motion. A runner, for example, can run efficiently while carrying the water bottle, allowing them to utilize something they are already wearing—their waistband. The contoured shape of the bottle allows the runner or active individual to easily remove the bottle for drinking and slide it back into the waistband without much effort. The contoured shape comfortably rests against the body so that runners/individuals sometime forget it is on the waistband. | 12-20-2012 |

20080236285 | Device for measuring bulk stress via insonification and method of use therefor - A device and method to nondestructively measure bulk stress in a member by employing an acoustic source, preferably an ultrasonic source, a processor, and a uniquely configured acoustic sensor package. The sensor package is configured to transmit both a longitudinal wave signal and a shear wave signal into the member. The processor is configured to capture reflections of the two impressed signals along a principal stress axis of the member and calculate the roundtrip time of the two signals. Knowing the length of the member along a principal stress axis, from the roundtrip times of the two signals, two velocities are calculated. By employing an equation that calculates bulk stress as a function of these shear and longitudinal wave velocities, a measure of bulk stress is calculated via the processor. The device measures bulk stress of a member that offers limited access in its permanent installation, such as dam reinforcements. | 10-02-2008 |
20110100265 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING DENSITY OF NON-CONDUCTIVE POROUS SOLIDS AND MATERIAL MADE THEREFROM. - A “green process” and system employing a first operation of electrophoresis in a liquid suspending selected solids to introduce the suspended solid particles as micro- or nano-particles, or both, into pore spaces of a porous non-conductive medium. A second operation uses electro-transport to move ions of solids into small pore spaces inaccessible via electrophoresis alone to grow solids in these smaller pore spaces to a size that may fill them, thus increasing the density and strength of the medium. The process yields a material that has improved strength, reduced porosity, high density and, in select applications, resistance to formation of mildew, mold, fungus and the like. Certain applications also enable decorative colors and florescence to be introduced to the media. Materials made from the process include high strength concrete construction panels, “backer boards,” work surfaces, counter tops, complex decorative configurations, strong thin walled items, and the like. | 05-05-2011 |
