Title: Centrifugal subterranean debris collector
Inventor: HONG ZHU
IPC: E21B27/00
Filed: 2012-03-09
Abstract: A subterranean debris catcher takes in debris laden fluid at a lower end. The inlet flow is induced with an eductor whose discharge goes around the housing to the lower end inlet for the debris. The eductor suction induces flow into the lower end of the housing as well. Incoming debris goes up an annular space around the collection receptacle and turns to pass through a bladed wheel that imparts a spin to the flowing stream. The flow direction reverses from up before the wheel to down through a tube after the wheel. The solids are flung to the tube periphery and the fluid reverses direction to go back up to a screen before reaching the eductor suction connection. The debris swirls down an open bottom tube and is collected in a housing surrounding the down tube.

Title: Method for testing a mirror device of a vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle
Inventor: BRUNDAGE JUDSON
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 2014-10-31
Abstract: The electric current supplying the motor of an exterior rear-view mirror, for example a car wing mirror is monitored, the mirror being tested on the basis of the measured current. During the test, the mirror is moved by the electric motor between at least two positions. An error may be detected when the measured current exceeds a threshold value, for example when the current drawn is outside manufacturers specifications. In an embodiment, this is conducted by a testing module running an application which folds the mirror housing both out away and retracts toward the automobile body, while a digital multimeter measures current, which may be plotted 10 against time on XY axes, the resulting graph displayed for a user on a screen. The graphing then stops if the threshold current value is exceeded. The method reduces human involvement, removing the need for human actuation of a mirror toggle switch.
