20110284114 | Methods for Repairing a Defective Pipeline - Methods for repairing a defect in a pipeline. In some embodiments, the method includes filling the defect with a paste such that an outer surface of the defect is substantially flush with an adjacent outer surface of the pipeline, curing the paste, manually wrapping a reinforcing material around the pipeline over the defect region for a plurality of turns, coupling the reinforcing material to the pipeline, wherein a pressure load applied to an inner surface of the pipeline is transferred through the pipeline and the paste to the reinforcing material so as to increase a safe operating pressure of the pipeline, and electrically coupling the reinforcing material and the pipeline, whereby an electrical potential in the pipeline is transmitted to the reinforcing material. | 11-24-2011 |

20150089756 | Paint Torpedo - The Paint Torpedo is a small foam mini football shaped device, made of closed cell urethane, with an opening through the center, top to bottom, in which the handle of a paintbrush is inserted. The Paint Torpedo rests on the base or neck of the brush. To paint, one grasps the Paint Torpedo instead of the handle of the brush. With the football shape of the Paint Torpedo one is able to enjoy a firmer grip of the brush by a relaxed grasp on the flexible Paint Torpedo. The brush is held at a more natural angle and by grasping the soft device instead of the hard handle of the brush there is less stress, tension and strain on hand and wrist muscles. The results include cutting much straighter lines and a professional looking job, even by a novice. | 04-02-2015 |

20090246707 | Semiconductor buried grating fabrication method - Methods for forming grating profiles in semiconductor laser structures comprise the steps of providing a semiconductor wafer comprising a wafer substrate, an etch stop layer disposed over the wafer substrate, a grating layer disposed over the etch stop layer, an etch mask layer disposed over the grating layer, and a photoresist layer disposed over the etch mask layer, forming a photoresist grating pattern, transferring the photoresist grating pattern into the grating layers via dry etching, and removing the photoresist layer, selectively wet etching the grating layer to form the grating profile in the grating layer. The placement of the grating layer between the etch mask and etch stop layers controls the selective wet etching step. The method also comprises removing the etch mask layer via selective wet etching without altering the grating profile, and regrowing an upper cladding layer to produce the semiconductor laser structure. | 10-01-2009 |
