Abstract:

A system for shielding personnel and/or equipment from radiation particles. In one embodiment, a first substrate is connected to a first array or perpendicularly oriented metal-like fingers, and a second, electrically conducting substrate has an array of carbon nanostructure (CNS) fingers, coated with an electro-active polymer extending toward, but spaced apart from, the first substrate fingers. An electric current and electric charge discharge and dissipation system, connected to the second substrate, receives a current and/or voltage pulse initially generated when the first substrate receives incident radiation. In another embodiment, an array of CNSs is immersed in a first layer of hydrogen-rich polymers and in a second layer of metal-like material. In another embodiment, a one- or two-dimensional assembly of fibers containing CNSs embedded in a metal-like matrix serves as a radiation-protective fabric or body covering.

Appl. No.:

8/728957

Inventors:

Mark D. Kalman - Panama City FL
Bin Chen - Houston TX

Assignee:

Wellstream, Inc. - Panama City FL

International Classification:

F16L 1104

US Classification:

138135

Abstract:

A flexible conduit formed by a helically wound band of metal that resists burst pressure. The band has a leading edge hook and a trailing edge hook that engage and interlock. The cross-section of the band has a radially asymmetrical Z-shaped profile. When the band is helically wound, the downstream hook of one turn of the band is received in the upstream valley of the previous turn of the band so that the downstream and upstream hooks form an interlock holding the windings together. In the wound configuration, the thickness of the profile between the upstream valley and the internal surface of the tube is greater than the thickness of the profile between the downstream valley and the external surface of the tube to provide greater material thickness to reduce contact stress at the hook and valley interface and to reduce alternating stresses in the valley corners. The outer surface of the profile tapers towards the center of the tube to direct externally applied radial compression forces toward the thickest section of the profile. A multilayer conduit employing the band may include a central, helically wound collapse-resistant layer disposed within a flexible fluid barrier that in turn is disposed within the tube formed by the band.
