Protective cover system including a corrosion inhibitor and method of inhibiting corrosion of a metallic object

A radial piezoelectric motor comprises a housing, a motor shaft rotatably mounted in the housing and a plurality of piezoelectric actuators inside the housing radially disposed about the axis of the motor shaft. The motor also includes circuitry for applying a voltage to the piezoelectric actuators to expand the actuators repeatedly and in succession and apparatus responsive to the repeated and successive expanding of the actuators for rotating the motor shaft.

High-efficiency radial piezoelectric motor

A protective cover system () for inhibiting corrosion of a metallic object. The protective cover system includes a cover () for defining a microenvironment and a corrosion inhibitor source for releasing one or more corrosion inhibitors into the microenvironment. In one embodiment, covercomprises an outer liquid-impermeable layer (), an inner liquid-permeable layer (), and a superabsorbent layer () located between the outer and inner layers. In another embodiment, coverincludes a water-vapor-permeable layer () and a porous support layer () for supporting the water-vapor-permeable layer. In both of these embodiments, one or more corrosion inhibitors may be incorporated into the cover in one or more of the corresponding above-mentioned layers or in a layer separate from these layers, or may be provided in a separate container that fluidly communicates the corrosion inhibitor(s) to the microenvironment.

Protective cover system including a corrosion inhibitor

A cover () for inhibiting corrosion of a metallic object over which the cover is placed. The cover has an inner surface () defined by a liquid-permeable layer () and an outer surface () defined by a liquid-impermeable layer (). A moisture-absorbing layer () is sandwiched between the liquid-permeable layer and the liquid-impermeable layer. The liquid-permeable layer allows vapor and liquid moisture beneath the cover to be absorbed into the moisture-absorbing layer to reduce the amount of moisture beneath the cover. The liquid-impermeable layer repels environmental liquid moisture, such as rain, sea spray, dew and the like and prevents such moisture from penetrating the cover. A radar-influencing layer () and vapor corrosion inhibitors () may be included in the cover. A method of protecting an object is also disclosed. The method includes covering a metallic object with cover ().
