Abstract: A container for transporting products such as produce as a reusable base part including a base and support members hingedly mounted to the base that are movable between two positions.  In a first position, the support members are upright, generally perpendicular to the base and in a second position the support members are retracted to a position to lie parallel with a bottom wall of the base.  In the first position, an over sleeve is adapted to slide over the support members along opposite end walls of the container and fit into the base along opposite side walls of the container.  Bottom wall flaps of the over sleeve extend part way across the bottom wall of the container and produce contained therein pushes down on the bottom flaps to maintain engagement of the over sleeve with the base.  The base and support members are made of a reusable material, such as plastic whereas the over sleeve is made of cardboard, which can be discarded or recycled after use.

Abstract: A dog sub is provided for use in an assembly for running liners with a weight-set packer. The dog sub allows rotation of the work string in an effort to set down weight on the dogs. The dogs are allowed to move radially outwardly by a pick-up force from the surface whereupon a set-down force, the dogs engage the setting sleeve on the weight-set packer. The dog sub is provided with a shear pin or other mechanism that breaks at about the requisite set force necessary to set the weight-set packer. When the assembly is retrieved to the surface, the breakage of the shear mechanism within the dog sub indicates to the surface personnel that an appropriate amount of set-down force has been applied to the weight-set packer below. Each of the dogs has an insert which rides on the polished surface of the packer setting sleeve to protect it as the dog sub is raised to allow the dogs to expand for setting the packer.

Granted: 2002-04-16
Abstract: A sound element database is installed in an analog telephone hub. When hold operation or the like is performed on an analog telephone during voice communication, the analog telephone hub selectively reads out necessary sound element data from the sound element database, and sends the sound element data or the type information of the sound element data to an analog telephone on the held party side through a LAN. In an analog telephone hub on the held part side, an audible sound is generated on the basis of sound element data read out from the sound element database on the basis of the sent sound element data or the sound element data type information. This audible sound is supplied to the analog telephone on the held party side to be output. With this operation, an audible sound indicating the operation state of a communication terminal can be effectively transmitted to the communication terminal of the other party.

Title: Method of gasifying or degasifying a liquid
Inventor: OLPIN JAY
IPC: B01D71/32
Filed: 1997-10-23
Granted: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A method of adding or removing a gas to or from a solution of the gas in a liquid involves transferring the gas between the liquid and another fluid through a membrane unit. The membrane unit includes a membrane which is (i) substantially impermeable to the solvent and having a permeability to oxygen of at least 100 barrers; (ii) formed from an amorphous copolymer of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1 3-dioxole; and (iii) is maintained at a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the copolymer. The fluid can be another liquid or a gas. The novel method provides very high rates of gas transmission between liquids and permits gasifying liquids without resort to sparging bubbles through the liquid. The method thus can gasify liquid with superior efficiency and without excessive agitation due to bubbling. These features result in economy of gas consumption and reduced need for gas recovery equipment, and when used in connection with a toxic or organic gaseous component, reduced requirements for additional pollution control equipment. The membrane material is resistant to fouling by liquids, and especially, by bioreactor mass. Hence, the novel method can remain in service for long duration without substantially diminished performance. Utilities for the novel method include purifying drinking water through ozonolysis, oxygenating bioreactors and blood; oxidizing volatile organic compounds in water; adding gaseous reactants to liquid chemical reactions and supplying oxygen to and removing volatile pollutants from waste water.
