US Patent:

50169360, May 21, 1991

Filed:

Mar 9, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/491439

Inventors:

David Goodrich - Andover MA

International Classification:

B62D 2500

US Classification:

296 393

Abstract:

The composite liner structure for the interior of motor vehicles in accordance with the present invention includes a sheet section comprising a backing portion of flexible material and an outer surface portion of plush fibers. The plush fibers provide a generally soft resilient face. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer is disposed upon the backing of the sheet section for attaching the backing portion of the liner structure to the interior surface of a motor vehicle. A releasable non-adhesive material cover is disposed on the adhesive layer. The composite liner structure has a predetermined profiled contoured configuration matching the profiled contoured interior surface of the motor vehicle to be lined. Additionally the composite liner structure is preferably formed of thermally insulative material. In one embodiment, the outer surface portion of plush fibers can be provided with decorative indicia.

Abstract:

A soil and groundwater decontamination system (10) and associated process are provided for soil and groundwater remediation. The system (10) and process utilizes both a physical or chemical reaction with the contaminants in a contaminated subsurface zone and extraction of the reaction end products and any remaining contaminants from the contaminated subsurface zone (100). In architecture, the soil and groundwater decontamination system (10) comprises an chemical product (12) that is introduced into an injection well (18). The injection well (18) is disposed into a passage provided in or adjacent to the contaminated subsurface zone (100) and allows the introduction of the chemical product (12) (and catalyst (24) if necessary) into the contaminated subsurface zone (100). The chemical product (12) reacts (physically or chemically) with contamination in the soil and groundwater and creates a reaction end product. The soil and groundwater decontamination system (10) further includes a vacuum pump (15) in fluid connection with a drop tube (22), and an optional air supply (16) in fluid communication with a well casing (18).
