In the typical embodiment of the invention described in the specification, a prismatic semi-membrane LNG tank is assembled within a support carriage surrounding the top and side walls of the tank and is connected to the tank by a plurality of load bearing insulating support blocks affixed to T-shaped beams on the tank and received in channel shaped members on the support carriage. The tank is assembled within the carriage which is slidably received within a temporary supporting structure and, when the tank has been completed, the integrated carriage and the tank are transferred to the hull of a ship or other permanent support structure. A pipe tower within the tank is affixed to the bottom wall of the tank and slidably connected to a tank dome at the top of the tank which is welded to the top wall of the tank. Stop members limit downward motion of the tank tower with respect to the top wall of the tank.

Systems and methods are provided for treating products containing wood fibers to provide protection against wood destroying organisms and fire, and resistance against leaching of the preservative from the wood by water in exposed environments such as exterior applications. The methods involve applying to a substrate a first aqueous composition containing a boron compound, a source of zinc, and ammonia, followed by application of a second aqueous composition containing an alkali metal silicate. The compositions may be applied by vacuum and/or pressure treatment or dip treatment under atmospheric pressure.

Compositions and methods are provided for treating wood products to provide leach-resistant protection against fungal decay, termites and other wood destroying organisms. The preservative compositions provided include ammonia-stabilized solutions of zinc and boron, preferably in a molar ratio of Zn:B of between about 0. 4:1 and 5:1, and are essentially copper free. The preservative may be applied by vacuum and/or pressure treatment or dip treatment under atmospheric pressure.

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods for making and compositions including aqueous alkali aluminosilicates used for conformance. The aqueous alkali aluminosilicates provide similar reaction characteristics of alkali silicates, an in addition provide enhanced conformance properties due to their ability to crystallize.

An ophthalmic applicator device for mechanically inserting solid medicaments in the form of inserts into the cul-de-sac of the eye, comprising an elongated tip of non-toxic, pliable material terminating in a groove through an end of said tip sufficient to form two flexible, opposed termini of said tip whereby said insert is releasably gripped by frictional engagement between said termini; said groove having cross-sectional conformation and dimensions sufficient to releasably grip said insert, and at least one dimension sufficiently less than the greatest dimension of said insert to result in removal of said insert from the ophthalmic applicator device by contact of said insert with the cul-de-sac of the eye; and a handle attached to said tip at the end of said tip opposite said termini, and forming an interior angle therewith of from about 30. degree. to about 120. degree.

A dispensing and packaging system for pellets such as ampules or vials. The system comprises an elongated resilient plastic tube in which the pellets are arranged in a line. The tube is of slightly smaller inner diameter than the pellets; and it is slit along its length so that it expands circumferentially to accomodate the pellets. The plastic material of the tube is sufficiently flexible and resilient at room temperatures to neck down in regions between adjacent pellets or in regions of the pellets which are of small diameter. This necking down provides restraint against axial movement of the pellets to hold them securely in the tube while allowing them to be dispensed individually with a minimum of difficulty.
