摘要： A quick, non-destructive and inexpensive test is disclosed to determine whether a portion of a structure made of 5XXX Aluminum alloy is sensitized. Unlike the current sensitization tests, this test can be performed by non-skilled personnel without complicated procedures and equipment. Since the test is non-destructive, it does not require the removal material from the structure. This feature makes the test particularly attractive for in situ applications such as for use on existing structures like ships. The test requires the application of an indicating chemical to the surface of the material being tested. The indicating chemical has a pre-determined pH which may be either acidic or alkaline. The indicating chemical also contains an pH indicator of pre-determined value. After a short period of time has elapsed, the percentage of pH color change observed from the indicating chemical can be used to determine whether the sample is sensitized or not. It is also possible to obtain at least an approximation of the Degree of Sensitization of the structure using the test.

摘要： An apparatus comprising a heating unit and a support device is disclosed which apparatus is designed to place a controlled amount of heat into a very localized area of a substrate of interest. The substrate of interest here is intended to be a portion of a large structure [such as the portion of a ship]. The heating unit comprises a heat source and the necessary structure to closely control the heat applied to the substrate of interest. The support device supports the heating unit directly over the substrate of interest and permits the system to be secured to one surface of the substrate of interest in a removable and non-destructive manner. The support device has legs which have securing means on the bottom thereof to secure the system to one surface of the substrate of interest in a releasable and non-destructible way.

摘要： The QDS scaffolding system can be delivered to the job-site in a pre-assembled but stowed configuration and can then be rapidly assembled on the job-site. Assembly may be accomplished using an external power source such as a crane, an internal power source such as a hydraulic actuator or an electrical motor, or any other suitable power source. In certain circumstances, manual erection could even be used. It is a modular system consisting of structural frameworks, quick deploy mechanisms, locking frameworks and working platforms. The quick deploy mechanisms are integrated within the structural frameworks and allow each structural framework to be erected from its stowed position to full working height by an auxiliary power source, such as a crane. In some instances the structural frameworks can be erected using an internal power source or even manually. Multiple base assemblies can be connected together to form a scaffolding system of various heights with one or more working platforms

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for preventing excavation damage to buried infrastructure. A plurality of excavation-sensing modules is buried near the buried infrastructure. The modules protect buried infrastructure by emitting dense clouds of highly visible gas when the modules are activated by impact with excavation equipment. In most cases the visible gas will be brightly colored and it may also have a strong odor and may produce a loud sound when the module is activated. The dense clouds of highly visible gas, the optional odor and loud sound alert construction crews or other workers that their excavation is nearing a protected underground structure. Once installed, no maintenance or active monitoring is required. In a preferred embodiment of the excavation-sensing module, the dense cloud of highly visible gas is produced by ignition of a smoke grenade within the module. In the preferred embodiment, the smoke grenade is ignited by the interaction of the excavator striking and breaking the buried module. Also in the preferred embodiment, the excavator will normally pull the ignited smoke grenade out of the buried module and to the surface increasing the visibility of the gas. Also in the preferred embodiment, a more reliable design for ignition of the smoke grenade is disclosed.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for preventing excavation damage to buried infrastructure. A plurality of excavation-sensing modules is buried near the buried infrastructure. The buried infrastructure excavation-sensing modules protect and detect buried infrastructure by emitting dense clouds of visible gas when the excavation-sensing modules are activated by impact with excavation equipment. In most instances, the visible gas will be brightly colored and it may also have a strong odor. In addition to the gas released by the modules, a loud sound may also be produced by the activated excavation-sensing module. This alerts construction crews or other workers that their excavation is nearing a protected underground structure. Once installed, no maintenance or active monitoring is required.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于防止对埋地基础设施的挖掘损坏的方法和装置。 多个挖掘传感模块埋在埋设基础设施附近。 当模块通过与挖掘设备的冲击激活时，这些模块通过发出高度可见气体的密集云层来保护埋地基础设施。 在大多数情况下，可见气体将会变色，并且还可能具有强烈的气味，并且当模块被激活时可能产生大声的声音。 高度可见的气体密集的云层，可选的气味和响亮的声音警报施工人员或其他工人，他们的挖掘正在接近受保护的地下结构。 一旦安装，不需要维护或主动监控。 在挖掘感测模块的优选实施例中，通过在模块内点燃烟雾榴弹来产生高度可见气体的浓云。 在优选实施例中，烟雾榴弹被挖掘机撞击和破坏埋藏的模块的相互作用点燃。 同样在优选实施例中，挖掘机通常将点燃的烟雾手榴弹从埋藏的模块中拉出并且增加气体的可视性。 同样在优选实施例中，公开了用于点燃烟雾手榴弹的更可靠的设计。
