Did You Know...
...that the Band-Aid Bandage was invented by a Johnson & Johnson employee whose wife had cut herself? Earl Dickson's wife was rather accident prone, so he set out to develop a bandage that she could apply without help. He placed a small piece of gauze in the center of a small piece of surgical tape, and what we know today as the Band Aid bandage was born!

| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4623372 | Crystallization process An improved crystallization process is disclosed for separating a crystallizable material and an excluded material which is at least partially excluded from the solid phase of the crystallizable material obtained upon freezing a liquid phase of the materi... | 11/18/1986 |
| 4581052 | Gas separation process A crystallization process is disclosed for separating a crystallizable material and an excluded material which is at least partially excluded from the solid phase obtained upon freezing a liquid mixture of the materials. The solid phase is formed and melt... | 04/08/1986 |
| 4469280 | Method for heating agglomerating slurries A method for heating agglomerating slurries in association with a method and apparatus for heating such slurries to supercritical conditions by electrical resistance. A feed slurry and a dilution stream are passed in admixture to a heating zone, and heate... | 09/04/1984 |
| 4421722 | Adiabatic expansion orifice assembly for passing a slurry from a high pressure region to a low pressure region An adiabatic expansion orifice assembly for substantially instantaneously passing a coal slurry from a high pressure region to a low pressure region and a corresponding process are disclosed. The orifice assembly includes a housing having an exit end wall... | 12/20/1983 |
| 4377392 | Coal composition A shattered hydrocarbonaceous product comprising a mixture of discrete comminuted hydrocarbonaceous particles having a volumetric mean particle size equivalent to less than about 5 microns in diameter separate from or in admixture with discrete inorganic ... | 03/22/1983 |
| 4373864 | System for pumping fluids at constant pressure A constant pressure system for pumping a coal slurry includes a slurry pump mechanically driven by a hydraulic motor which, in turn, is driven by a hydraulic pump. The output of the hydraulic pump is controlled by a pressure sensitive flow control valve t... | 02/15/1983 |
| 4369351 | Method and apparatus for heating liquids and agglomerating slurries A method and apparatus for heating fluids, such as an agglomerating slurry of coal and water, to supercritical conditions, wherein an electrical current is passed directly through the fluid. The fluid is directed through a container and heated by passing ... | 01/18/1983 |
| 4364740 | Method for removing undesired components from coal A process is disclosed for treating a fluid-permeable hydrocarbonaceous solid, such as coal, containing an admixture of hydrocarbonaceous components and mineral and sulfur components, to separate the solid into a hydrocarbonaceous enriched fraction and a ... | 12/21/1982 |
