Abstract:
The interior of a pipe is coated with a uniform thickness of plastic. A fluidized bed of heat-meltable plastic material in particular form is connected to the inlet end of the pipe, while the opposed end of the pipe is made attachable to a source of reduced pressure. A source of compressible fluid is also connected to the inlet end of the pipe. The pipe is preheated and then rotated axially while the compressible fluid flows therethrough. The compressible fluid flowing to the inlet is suddenly terminated while a flow from the fluidized bed is immediately established so that the vacuum at the outlet end of the pipe causes uninterrupted mass flow and pulls a finite pocket of the finely divided plastic into the pipe. The flow of particular plastic material is terminated, while the flow of compressed gas is immediately re-established, thereby pushing the pocket of plastic material into and through the pipe.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a substrate treating method and a treatment liquid. The substrate treating method includes a treatment liquid supplying step, a solidified film forming step, and a sublimation step. In the treatment liquid supplying step, a treatment liquid is supplied to a substrate. The treatment liquid contains a sublimable substance, a solvent, and a surfactant. In the solidified film forming step, the solvent and the surfactant evaporate from the treatment liquid on the substrate. In the solidified film forming step, a solidified film containing the sublimable substance is formed on the substrate. In the sublimation step, the solidified film sublimates. The surfactant has an octanol-water partition coefficient LOGPow of −1 or more and 1 or less. Vapor pressure Pc of the surfactant at room temperature is 0.9 times or more and 3 times or less vapor pressure Pb of the solvent at room temperature.

In an exemplified embodiment, provided are methods, apparatuses, and systems that enable intra-operative application of wound repair devices with biologic and/or pharmaceutical compositions to facilitate controlled delivery of bioactive molecules, resulting in improved musculoskeletal soft tissue repair and reconstruction. In a specific embodiment, a method including obtaining an isolated platelet rich plasma (PRP) sample, and applying the sample to a suture under conditions to provide a dry coat of PRP onto the suture is disclosed herein.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for cleaning, coating and sealing leaks in existing pipes made of nonmetal materials selected from a nonmetal material selected from at least one of plastics, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), composite materials, or polybutylene, in a single operation. A piping system can be cleaned in one pass by dry particulates forced and pulled by air throughout the piping system by a generator and a vacuum. Pipes with nonmetal fittings or with metal fittings or pipes with a combination of metal and nonmetal fittings can be protected from wear by water erosion and rupturing, extending the life of pipes made of nonmetal materials selected from at least one of plastics, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), composite materials, or polybutylene. Coatings can be applied to pipes having diameters up to approximately 6″. Leak sealants of at least approximately 4 mils thick can cover insides of pipes, and can include novel mixtures of fillers and epoxy materials, and viscosity levels. A positive pressure can be maintained within the nonmetal pipes during applications. Piping systems can be returned to service within approximately 96 hours.
Abstract:
A water-based bonding primer composition and a method of applying the same onto a metallic surface prior to adhesive bonding. The bonding primer composition is a water-based dispersion containing water, one or more epoxy resins, one or more curing agents, a silane compound, a low amount of propylene carbonate (PC), and optional additives. The bonding primer composition can form substantially smooth films by spraying, and at the same time, meet environmental regulations and provide high bonding performance.
Abstract:
A pigment-containing coating formulation combines (i) polymeric wetting and dispersing additives that absorb onto pigment particles to surround pigment particles to prevent or limit sedimentation; (ii) a self-crosslinking acrylic dispersion with low surfactants and long open time, allowing the pigment to lay flat instead of migrating and agglomerating at the surface; and (3) rheology modification facilitating good Newtonian flow behavior and balanced thixotropic thickening of the coating for improved brushability, flow and leveling for improved appearance with keener light reflection and more uniform pearlescent and metallic effect appearance.

Methods and systems for cleaning, coating and sealing leaks in existing pipes, in a single operation. A piping system can be cleaned in one pass by dry particulates forced and pulled by air throughout the piping system by a generator and a vacuum. Pipes can be protected from water corrosion, erosion and electrolysis, extending the life of pipes such as copper, steel, lead, brass, cast iron piping and composite materials.
