Title: Method and apparatus for changing the orientation of workpieces about an angled axis for a decorator
Inventor: TWEEDY MARK R
IPC: B65G47/52
Filed: 2001-07-23
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: A workpiece transfer for loading and unloading workpieces for a decorating machine includes at least one workpiece gripper for supporting a workpiece during changing of the orientation thereof from a first orientation to a second orientation. The workpiece in the first orientation has a longitudinal central axis oriented in one of a vertical and a horizontal orientation and in the second orientation has the axis in the other of the vertical and horizontal orientations. A drive reciprocates the workpiece gripper and the workpiece gripped thereby generally parallel with a rotational axis while rotating the workpiece gripper and the workpiece gripped thereby about the rotational axis, the rotational axis forming acute angles with the longitudinal central axis of the workpiece in each of the vertical and horizontal orientations.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates the creation and implementation of Workflow Templates and also the designation of linkage between these templates and specific projects dealing with different media type handling. Workflow Templates are used to automatically generate user interface views which will be used by agents, knowledge workers, supervisors and customers. Such Workflow Templates provide the means to create, define and store the name and definition of and "trigger points" for each workflow item. The trigger points for when a document is used are also determined when creating the template. Further, in creating a Workflow Templates the administrator can instruct the system to save scripts associated with the template that can be saved as XML, EDI, JSP, CGI, VXML, etc. so as to be able to automatically generate documents or logic flows consistent with the target media type for the anticipated interactions with customers.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of electrical generation and more specifically to the use of a wind turbine for generating electricity. A vertical axis wind turbine is mounted on the upper portion of a chimney. Rotor blades are disposed on the outside of the chimney and the mechanical energy produced by the rotating rotor blades is transferred to a generator by means of a short drive shaft. The drive shaft is used to drive the rotor within the generator to induce a voltage in the stator. In an alternate configuration, the wind turbine and generator are integrated. The rotor blades are coupled directly to a rotating, current inducing set of permanent magnets or rotor for rotation about a stationary, current generating stator. In either configuration, the rotor blades are rotated using the updraft associated with the chimney or the prevailing wind.

Abstract: Rectangular or circular vent apparatus for protecting a confined space having a vent aperture for relief of an overpressure condition is provided with each including vent structure having a vent unit adapted to be positioned over the vent aperture in normal closing relationship thereto. Each vent unit preferably includes at least one spring steel panel provided with a movable pressure relief portion having an initial position extending across the vent aperture. A backstop is provided for arresting the degree of movement of the spring steel panel, that absorbs kinetic energy of opening of the spring steel panel, and that assures return of the relief portion of the spring steel panel in substantially its original shape to a selected opening position when a predetermined overpressure is applied against the relief portion of the vent unit. A line of weakness comprising a series of end-to-end slits defines the movable pressure relief portion of each spring steel panel. A synthetic resin sheet covers the slits of each line of weakness. Alternatively, the vent unit may have spring steel leaves positioned against a metal sheet provided with a relief portion and normally positioned in closing relationship to the vent aperture. The spring steel panel and the spring steel leaves have a sufficient modulus of resilience and elasticity to cause the relief portion of the spring steel panel or the metal sheet to return to their respective initial positions from the open positions thereof upon relief of the overpressure condition in the confined space.

Title: Enhanced shale oil production by in situ heating using hydraulically fractured producing wells
Inventor: SYMINGTON WILLIAM A
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2007-10-10
Granted: 2014-09-30
Abstract: A method for enhanced production of hydrocarbon fluids from an organic-rich rock formation such as an oil shale formation is provided. The method generally includes completing at least one heater well in the organic-rich rock formation, and also completing a production well in the organic-rich rock formation. The method also includes the steps of hydraulically fracturing the organic-rich rock formation from the production well such that one or more artificial fractures are formed, and heating the organic-rich rock formation from the at least one heater well, thereby pyrolyzing at least a portion of the organic-rich rock into hydrocarbon fluids. Pyrolyzing the organic-rich rock formation creates thermal fractures in the formation due to thermal stresses created by heating. The thermal fractures intersect the artificial fractures. As an additional step, hydrocarbon fluids may be produced from the production well. Preferably, the organic-rich rock formation is an oil shale formation.
