Abstract: A flexible, substantially lamellar silicone foam rubber-based heater for heating fluid lines such as high temperature gas supply and exhaust lines used in microelectronic semiconductor fabrication uses a flexible, oblong substantially longitudinally uniform heater body including an oblong block of a thermally conductive, resiliently compressible material for conforming the heater to a line of complexly shaped components connected in series. The block can be supported by a silicone rubber support layer in contact with a flexible heater element containing layer, and an outer silicone foam rubber insulation layer. Fasteners, such as separatable retaining bands spaced along the line can hold the heater in place. A matable pair of bodies, or a single folded body can enwrap the line.

Abstract: A corrugated piping assembly for use in an irrigation system for bridging between different pipe sections and/or irrigation appliances. The assembly has a corrugated pipe section fitted at a rear end to a connector and a sleeve overlaying a region where the pipe section fits over the connector. The sleeve is arranged to press inwards against the pipe section to press it against portions of the connector.

Abstract: A medical treatment system, such as peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a peritoneal dialysis system may include a control system that can adjust the volume of fluid infused into the peritoneal cavity to prevent the intraperitoneal fluid volume from exceeding a pre-determined amount. The control system can adjust by adding one or more therapy cycles, allowing for fill volumes during each cycle to be reduced. The control system may continue to allow the fluid to drain from the peritoneal cavity as completely as possible before starting the next therapy cycle. The control system may also adjust the dwell time of fluid within the peritoneal cavity during therapy cycles in order to complete a therapy within a scheduled time period. The cycler may also be configured to have a heater control system that monitors both the temperature of a heating tray and the temperature of a bag of dialysis fluid in order to bring the temperature of the dialysis fluid rapidly to a specified temperature, with minimal temperature overshoot.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for injecting pressurized alcohol solution into a pipe located in a house or other structure that carries water. The device allows the user to control and adjust the pressure of the injected alcohol solution. The pressure forces the alcohol solution against the frozen water inside the pipe. The alcohol solution then acts to dissolve the ice, thereby clearing the blockage and preventing damage to the pipe. The device is hand held, portable and configurable. The embodiment of the device with the hand-operated pump does not require electricity or other sources of power. Alternate embodiments of the device can be broken down into two or more sections for easier storage. Alternate embodiments of the device has one or more of the lengths of connecting pipe or connector or adapter bends at an angle so that the device is not configured in a straight line but has a bend or curve. These alternate embodiments allows for the device to fit into tight or restricted spaces. Alternate embodiments of the device utilize fittings, connectors, valves, gauges, vents and lengths of pipe of different sizes, lengths, diameters and materials. Different solutions or solvents other than an alcohol solution may be used. Also disclosed is the method of using the device.

Abstract: A fluid pipe device is provided, which includes a pipe member forming a flow channel for flowing a fluid; a heating member for generating heat to heat the pipe member; a metal heat transfer member abutting against the heating member and conducting the heat to the pipe member; and a terminal member electrically connecting the heating member and the heat transfer member. The heat transfer member includes a first heat transfer member and a second heat transfer member, and at least one of the first heat transfer member and the second heat transfer member forms the terminal member at one portion, and the first heat transfer member is provided in the pipe member in such a way as not to be exposed inside the flow channel of the pipe member.

Abstract: A heatable line pipe useful for diesel fuel systems and fuel cell systems is provided. The heatable line pipe comprises in order from an inside of the pipe: a) an electrically insulating inner layer; b) a first electrically conductive layer; c) at least two current leads wound spirally around the first electrically conductive layer; d) a second electrically conductive layer over the at least two current leads forming a surface; and e) an outer cladding of an electrically insulating plastic material. The thickness of the second electrically conductive layer is 0.1 to 1.5 mm, and the at least two current leads form wave peaks in the surface of the second electrically conductive layer. The line pipe has the advantage that a fall in heating performance over the lifetime is effectively prevented.

Abstract: Embodiments for a cryohead heat transfer coupling as well as methods for extracting heat from an article using these couplings are provided. Couplings employ a component made from a material having a greater mean thermal coefficient of expansion than the mean thermal coefficient of expansion of other coupling components and of the article. As a result, differential contraction during cryocooling contributes a shrink fitting of a portion of the coupling resulting in enhanced thermal conduction when cooling and a releasing of the coupling when ambient temperature is restored.
