SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: UPS 5,316,412 is an apparatus which can
inspect underwater structures such as dams, spillways, stilling basins,
and other hydraulic structures, utilizing an underwater light and
television camera, locate leaking cracks and joints, clean the work
location, and inject a sealant to close the crack or joint.
USP 5,317,914 is a self contained autonomous data recording device
which can record and store shock level data in high blast level
situations in the neighborhood of 100,000 g's.
USP 5,319,959 is an apparatus which uses air to lubricate a cone
penetrometer push rod allowing for deeper penetration of the
penetrometer into the soil without adversely affecting instrument
readings.
USP 5,323,681 is an apparatus for shaping an explosive charge to be
used with an Explosively Formed Penetrator. The apparatus can be hand
packed with explosive material without the necessity of pre-weighing;
thereafter the molded explosive charge can be easily extracted.
USP 5,327,734 is a thermosyphon which can operate in a passive mode
when the ambient air temperature is below that of the soil, or in an
active mode with mechanical refrigeration assistance, but without the
need for buried refrigeration circulation lines.
USP 5,328,150 is an apparatus for controlling a damper in an air
duct of an HVAC system by directly utilizing the digital output of the
HVAC microprocessor controller to energize/de-energize magnetic coils.
USP 5,335,298 is a systematic procedure comprising a number of
image processing steps which allow automated extraction of airport
runway data from an original radar image of an airfield. In general,
the invention is directed towards a method of extracting terrain
features from an image formed by an array of pixels.
USP 5,339,893 is a hybrid thermosyphon which may be rapidly
deployed to create a frozen soil barrier for containing toxic spills.
The thermosyphon operates in the passive mode without the assistance of
mechanical refrigeration or in the active mode with such assistance and
provides a means for sensing the ambient air and soil temperatures for
selectively operating the active refrigeration stage.
USP 5,346,547 is a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture
for making [[Page 2576]] electrically conductive concrete articles used
for electromagnetic shielding.
USP 5,351,529 is an apparatus for testing an electronic engine
speed control governor separate from an engine and a connected load.
USP 5,358,057 an improved cone penetrometer for taking multiple
samples of soil gas and ground water in such a way that the samples can
not be contaminated with fluids, gasses, or soils carried by the
penetrometer as it penetrates the soil.
USP 5,361,550 is an apparatus and method which provides a safe and
secure environment for workers at a hazardous, toxic, or radioactive
work site, provides for continuous operations at such a site regardless
of weather conditions, and also, can act as a secondary containment
structure preventing airborne release of hazardous, toxic, or
radioactive particles.
USP 5,361,642 is a field-free stress gauge capable of dynamic or
static response measurements in geological rock and soil formations,
concrete, asphalt, or other materials. The gauge can also be
incorporated and measure static stresses in building, bridges, and
roads.
USP 5,366,547 provides a means for extending and controlling the
settling time for alkali-activated silicate glass cements.
