Patent CA-2591677-C (CA)
Inventor: COUCHMAN PETER
IPC: F16L55/26
Filed: 2005-12-05
Granted: 2016-06-28
Abstract: In an in-line pipe inspection tool, sensors for inspecting the pipe are mounted on sensor blocks moveable relative to the body of the tool. However, when the sensor blocks move radially to conform to different pipe diameters, the circumferential distances between the sensors changes. To ameliorate the effect of this, the sensor blocks have a shape such that one axial edge of each sensor block circumferentially overlaps the opposite edge of an adjacent sensor block. With such an arrangement, when the sensor block are operating at minimum diameter, part of one sensor block will overlap an adjacent block, in the circumferential direction. As the diameter of the pipeline in which the pig is used increases, the degree of overlap will reduce, and may even reduce to zero, but there will still be no overall axial gaps between the sensor blocks. Thus, by suitable shaping of the sensor blocks the tool can be used with a wide range of pipe diameters.

Title: Hydrodynamic rotary seal with opposed tapering seal lips
Inventor: GOBELI JEFFREY D
IPC: F16J15/3284
Filed: 2002-04-05
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: A hydrodynamically lubricating rotary seal for partitioning a lubricant from an environment has a generally circular seal body and sloping, generally opposed projecting static and dynamic lips. The dynamic sealing lip is provided for establishing compressed sealing relation with a relatively rotatable surface, and has a sloping dynamic sealing surface that varies in width, and also has a hydrodynamic inlet curvature that varies in position around the circumference of the seal. When the seal is installed against a relatively rotatable surface, the dynamic sealing lip deforms to define a variable width interfacial contact footprint against the relatively rotatable surface that is wavy on the lubricant side, and wedges a film of lubricating fluid into the interface in response to relative rotation. The environment edge of the interfacial contact footprint is substantially circular, and therefore does not produce a hydrodynamic wedging action in response to relative rotation.

Abstract: A cable guide is used in an oilfield tank level gauge where a cable passing over the guide depends downward to a float end inside the tank and also depends downward along an exterior side of the tank so that rising and lowering of a float inside the tank lowers and raises the indicator end along a gauge mounted outside the tank. The guide features a frame through which the cable can be passed in a working direction, a pair of rollers horizontally spaced in a transverse direction across the working direction, and a transverse roller carried on the frame to Ile across and extend past each of the pair rollers in the transverse direction at a position proximate the pair of rollers. The pair of rollers prevent the cable from sliding off ends of the transverse roller and becoming pinched between the transverse roller and the housing.

Abstract: Disclosed is an aluminum electrolytic cell having profiled cathode carbon blocks, comprising a cell case, a refractory material installed on the bottom, an anodes and a cathode. The cathode carbon blocks include a profiled structure having projections on the top surface of the carbon blocks, that is, a plurality of projections are formed on a surface of the cathode carbon blocks. The aluminum electrolytic cell having the cathode structure according to the present invention can reduce the velocity of the flow and the fluctuation of the level of the cathodal molten aluminum within the electrolytic cell, so as to increase the stability of the surface of molten aluminum, reduce the molten lose of the aluminum, increase the current efficiency, reduce the inter electrode distance, and reduce the energy consumption of the production of aluminum by electrolysis. With the above configuration, compounds or precipitates of viscous cryolite molten alumina can be formed on the lower portion between walls protruding on the upper surface of the cathode, which can prohibit the molten aluminum from flowing into the cell bottom through the cracks and apertures on cathodes, so that the life of the electrolytic cell can be extended.
