Patent EP-2475888-A4 (EP)
Title: Energy saving system and method for devices with rotating or reciprocating masses
Inventor: LUMSDEN JOHN L
IPC: F04B49/00
Filed: 2010-09-01
Abstract: A system and method are provided for reducing the energy consumed by a pump jack electric motor by reducing the supply voltage to the motor when the motor would be generating energy in open loop mode. By substantially eliminating the energy generation mode, the braking action of the utility grid in limiting the acceleration of the motor and system that would otherwise occur is substantially removed. The motor and system will speed up, allowing the natural kinetic energy of the cyclic motion to perform part of the pumping action. A closed loop controller in electrical connection with the motor computes the necessary information from the observed phase angle between the voltage and current supplied to the motor. By reducing the supply voltage to the motor, the observed phase angle may be reduced to a target phase angle value. By allowing some current flow, primarily of a reactive nature, an observable feedback parameter may be used in the closed loop control system as an indication of the load condition, to which the closed loop motor controller may react, supplying power when needed, such as in the energy consumption mode. The electric motor may be effectively turned off, but without completely cutting the power to the motor. During both the energy consumption mode and the period that open loop energy generation would be occurring, the closed loop motor controller may reduce the observed phase angle to a target phase angle by reducing the supply voltage. Any further reduction in the observed phase angle below the target phase angle may be interpreted as an increase in motor load, to which the motor controller may respond by increasing the supply voltage to the motor until the target phase angle is once again reached.
Patent EP-0072796-A4 (EP)
Title: Clamp assembly.
Inventor: HUFF EDWARD R
IPC: B66C1/46
Filed: 1981-02-24
Abstract: A clamp assembly (12) for controllably gripping an article (10). Automated material handling devices generally require sensor and control devices to adapt the device to variously sized and shaped articles. Also, the application of excess contact force between the clamping device and article may damage vulnerable surfaces and features of the article being handled. The present invention solves the above problem by providing a clamp assembly (12) having opposed, pressurizable gripping members (64, 66). The gripping members (64, 66) each have a compliant, article-contacting surface (67, 68) which form about the article (10) upon pressurization of the gripping members (64, 66). The invention is of particular benefit in handling a wide range of differently sized stepped-diameter shafts.
Patent EP-0078308-A4 (EP)
Title: Automatic pallet-making machine and method.
Inventor: BELCHER ROY L
IPC: B23P21/00
Filed: 1982-04-15
Abstract: A pallet is automatically assembled and nailed together on a horizontally reciprocating carrier (10). The carrier (10) moves in a forward direction beneath a slat dispenser (14). A first series of one-way trip dogs (54) mounted on the carrier (10) successively removes the bottom slat (9) from a stack of slats held by a dispenser (14) to deposit a series of slats (9) onto the carrier (10) to form the bottom deck of a pallet. The carrier (10) has stringer engagement levers (80) which engage the ends of a series of stringers (8) held in dispensers (16). The carrier (10) reverses direction after deposit of the bottom series of slats (9) and each stringer engagement lever (80) pulls a stringer (8) from the dispenser (16) with each stringer (8) positioned transversely to the previously dispensed slats (9). As the carriage (10) moves in the reverse direction, another series of one-way trip dogs (54) mounted on the carrier (10) successively dispenses a second series of slats (7) to form the top deck of the pallet. The carrier (10) with the laid-up pallet next moves to a nailing station (18) where nailers (130) automatically fasten the top and bottom slats (7 and 9) to the stringers (8). The carrier (10) then moves to a ratcheted bottom-stacking device (20) which removes a nailed pallet from the carrier (10) and adds that pallet to the bottom of a vertical stack of pallets.

Title: Method and apparatus for transmitting electromagnetic signals into the earth from a capacitor
Inventor: JOHLER J RALPH
IPC: G01S13/04
Filed: 1992-05-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a capacitor is disposed in direct contact with the earth, and a short voltage pulse is applied to the capacitor to transmit a pulse of electromagnetic radiation having a broad frequency band into the earth. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the electromagnetic radiation that has propagated through the subsurface is detected and processed to image the subsurface. The size, L, of the transmitting capacitor should be sufficiently small to satisfy the relation Re[kL]<1, where k is the wavenumber in the earth formation of each frequency component of radiation transmitted into the earth. In a preferred embodiment, the voltage pulse applied to the transmitting capacitor has frequency components in a broad band from below 1 MHz to above 100 MHz, and the only frequency components of the detected electromagnetic radiation that are processed to image the subsurface have frequency in the range from about 500 KHz to 25 MHz.

Title: Refractory metal sway composition and method of making same.
Inventor: MEGY JOSEPH A
IPC: C22C9/00
Filed: 1992-10-05
Abstract: A clean refractory metal SWARF particle product is made from refractory metal SWARF. The SWARF particles are produced with coolant at a temperature of less than 650  C to prevent formation of refractroy metal oxides and nitrides. The SWARF particles are comminuted to reduce the particle size of the SWARF slivers and to liberate residual coolant. The comminuted SWARF slivers are washed with a displacement wash to remove the bulk of the coolant and subject to a counter-current wash to remove substantially all of the coolant components to produce clean SWARF particles. The clean SWARF particles can be pressed into briquettes and sintered at elevated pressures or mixed with an alkali metal refractroy metal halide salt, pressed at elevated pressures into SWARF/salt briquettes and dried. The briquettes are non-pyrophoric.

In accordance with an imprint pattern of a seal taken in by information processing means, pattern transfer control means (20) controls as to application or non-application of physical stimuli to every predetermined minute unit area to exert on the seal face member of a resin physical stimuli corresponding to an imprint pattern of a seal so as to partially change a property of the seal face member. Then, a portion or portions, of which a property has changed, or portion or portions, of which a property has not changed, is removed by water and the like to provide a seal and an uneven patterned plate having a desired pattern.
