Title: Reusable pipe flange covers

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

A molded, flexible pipe flange cover for temporarily covering a pipe flange and a pipe opening includes a substantially round center portion having a peripheral skirt portion depending from the center portion, the center portion adapted to engage a front side of the pipe flange and to seal the pipe opening. The peripheral skirt portion is formed to include a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs, wherein free ends of the flexible tabs are formed with respective through passages adapted to receive a drawstring for pulling the tabs together on a back side of the pipe flange.

Reusable biocompatible interface for immobilization of materials on a solid support

Patent Salamon, Zdzislaw [4480 W. Rockwood Dr., Tucson, AZ 85741]; Schmidt, Richard A [8518 E. 25th St., Tucson, AZ 85710]; Tollin, Gordon [2050 W. Khaibar Pl., Tucson, AZ 85704]; ...

A method for the formation of a biocompatible film composed of a self-assembled bilayer membrane deposited on a planar surface. This bilayer membrane is capable of immobilizing materials to be analyzed in an environment very similar to their native state. Materials so immobilized may be subject to any of a number of analytical techniques.

Reusable crucible for containing corrosive liquids

Patent de Pruneda, Jean A. H. (Livermore, CA)

A reusable, non-wetting, corrosion-resistant material suitable for containment of corrosive liquids is formed of a tantalum or tantalum alloy substrate that is permeated with carbon atoms. The substrate is carburized to form surface layers of TaC and Ta.sub.2 C, and then is heated at high temperature under vacuum until the carbon atoms in the carbide layers diffuse throughout the substrate to form a solid solution of carbon atoms randomly interspersed in the tantalum or tantalum alloy lattice.

Reusable tamper-indicating security seal

Patent Ryan, Michael J [Plainfield, IL]

The invention teaches means for detecting unauthorized tampering or substitutions of a device, and has particular utility when applied on a "seal" device used to secure a location or thing. The seal has a transparent body wall, and a first indicia, viz., a label identification is formed on the inside surface of this wall. Second and third indicia are formed on the outside surface of the transparent wall, and each of these indicia is transparent to allow the parallax angled viewing of the first indicia through these indicia. The second indicia is in the form of a broadly uniform pattern,more » « less

Rotary turret and reusable specimen holder for mass spectrometer

Patent Banar, Joseph C [Los Alamos, NM]; Perrin, Richard E [Jemez Springs, NM]; Ostrenga, Raymond A [Los Alamos, NM]

A sample holder for use in a mass spectrometer is provided for heating a sample to discharge ions through an electrostatic field which focuses and accelerates the ions for analysis. Individual specimen holders form a plurality of filaments for heating the sample materials for ion emission. Mounting devices hold the plurality of filaments at regular spaced apart angles in a closed configuration adjacent the electrostatic field elements. A substantially solid ceramic turret is provided with a plurality of electrical contacts which engage the individual holder means for energizing the filaments and forming a corresponding plurality of radially facing, axially extendingmore » « less
