A number of mechanisms are provided for aiding in animal handling through various security screening processes. An animal control implement makes it possible to undergo security screening while maintaining control of the animal while also not generating any security related false rejects.

A taping apparatus adapted to apply tape over voids on an interior pipe wall, the taping apparatus having a transport assembly adapted to move the apparatus through a pipe; and a rotatable taping assembly adapted to retain a roll of tape and apply the tape over a void on the interior wall of the pipe, the taping assembly comprising an extendable and tractable arm assembly and a tape applicator assembly.

A pipe-repair tool is disclosed. The pipe-repair tool includes a first chamber to hold a first pressurized sealant and a valve to selectively allow the sealant to flow from the chamber into the interior of a pipe to be repaired. The tool may include a second chamber to hold a second pressurized sealant when using a two-part sealant, in which case the first sealant and the second sealant flow through a mixing chamber when flowing from the first and second chambers to the interior of the pipe. The valve may be a mechanical valve that is opened by moving the tool relative to the pipe to be repaired. The valve may be an electrically controlled valve that is opened with an electrical signal.

In an apparatus for pipeline renovation using a lining fiber tube impregnated with a reactive resin that cures under the effect of light-emitting devices, the apparatus has a head part 1 made of a transparent, temperature-resistant material, and end caps 2, 3 seal the apparatus hermetically against the outside, wherein the whole apparatus or at least its head part 1 is filled with a transparent, flame-retardant insulating fluid 5 and the apparatus contains an insert whose insulating substrates 8 are populated with high-performance light-emitting diodes 9.

An air duct sterilization system, and a device and method for producing the air duct sterilization system. The system includes a plurality of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs), arranged in a UV LED strip within an air duct, configured to destroy airborne biological contaminants in the air duct. The device includes wheel assemblies and an applicator assembly. During installation of the UV LED strip, the wheel assemblies contact a lower surface and an upper surface of an interior of the air duct, thereby enabling the device to roll along the interior of the air duct. The UV LED strip is applied to the upper surface of the interior of the air duct using the applicator assembly, with minimal effort needed from an individual performing the installation. After installation, the UV LEDs are illuminated as needed to destroy airborne biological contaminants, thereby sterilizing the air duct and air therein.

An ultraviolet curing pipeline repair robot is provided. The ultraviolet radiation lamp comprises a lamp panel distributed at the circumference of frame body and ultraviolet LED lamps uniformly distributed on the lamp panel. Each frame body is provided with a spring sleeve circumferentially rotating around frame body. Each driving arm is formed by cross connection of two supporting arms. One end of the first supporting arm is fixedly arranged on frame body, one end of the second supporting arm is connected with a driving arm nut, and the driving arm nut is sleeved the spring sleeve and matched with the screw thread on the outer surface of the spring sleeve. The inside of a tail section of frame body is provided with a network transmission module and a first power carrier module connected with a second aviation plug. A cable is a power cable.

A method and means for repairing the junction of a main and lateral pipe are provided. A repair assembly includes a launcher device, a bladder assembly surrounding the launcher device, and a liner assembly surrounding the bladder assembly. The bladder assembly is frangibly connected to the launcher device to maintain the position of the bladder assembly relative to the launcher device during transport and positioning of the assembly. Likewise, the liner assembly, which includes main and lateral liner members, is frangibly connected to the bladder assembly. The frangible connections allow the position of the repair assembly to be maintained. The frangible connections can be broken, such as by inflation and/or tearing or pulling apart of the components of the repair assembly. Thus, the invention provides a way to mitigate the movement of components of the repair assembly during transport and positioning of the repair assembly.

Systems and methods for forming and deploying a pipe liner in a pipe main having a service lateral. The line is formed from three pieces of material. The piece of material forming the front top and of the main liner and the front of the lateral line has a cutout at the joint to reduce bunching, which can result in non-uniform liner thickness and may form obstructions at the joint.

A system for maintaining conduits and pipes after their installation into a pipeline system used to transport material in a fluid or flowable form. The system includes a maintenance tool adopted for use inside the pipe, an umbilical attached to the maintenance tool for pulling the tool through the pipe; and a pluralities of bearings positioned around the umbilical in order to allow the tool to be pulled through the pipe around bends and turns in the pipe.
