    摘要: Apparatus for detecting a leak in a pipe, and determining the location of that leak, comprises a cover plate for an opening into the pipe to be tested, such as an end cap for threading onto the end of a pipe, the cover plate having an aperture through which extends a flexible hose having an inflatable bladder at its free end. The hose is calibrated from its free end and is pushed into the pipe through the aperture for a known distance, whereafter the bladder is inflated by air supplied under pressure to the hose, so as to seal the pipe between the bladder and the cover plate. Air under pressure is then supplied to the sealed portion of the pipe and the pressure drop within that sealed portion is monitored over a period of time. By repeatedly performing the method but each time moving the hose further into the pipe, the location of the leak may accurately be determined. Instead of calibrating the hose, a sonde device may be mounted on the free end of the hose and an above ground receiver for signals transmitted from the sonde is used to determine the position of the sonde and so of the free end of the pipe.

    摘要: Low dielectric materials are described herein that comprise a plurality of pores or nanopores in addition to the ultrananopores. It is further contemplated that the low dielectric materials described herein will have a dielectric constant of less than about 3. The dielectric materials are fromed from polymer compositions, wherein the polymer compositions comprise a plurality of monomers and wherein at least one monomer comprises a radical precursor bonded to a structural precursor. Further, methods of forming dielectric materials from polymer compositions are presented. The figure shows the chemical structure for a methyl/t-butyl Low organic Content/Low Organic Siloxane Polymer.
