Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A method for preparing organic products from aqueous solutions, such as wast e or byproduct liquid streams and waste or byproduct gas or vapor streams, use s phase transfer catalysis to transfer a chemical species in low concentration from the aqueous solution to the organic phase or the aqueous-organic interface. The system has little or no organic solvent, and the organic phas e contains an electrophile which participates in the reaction. In one embodiment, the aqueous solution is contacted with the electrophile and a phase transfer catalyst and, optionally, a pH adjusting agent in the event that the chemical species in the aqueous solution is not sufficiently ionize d to react with the electrophile, and optionally an organic solvent. A method for continuously converting a chemical species involves this contacting step , separating the phases, then dividing the organic phase into the product, the phase transfer catalyst, and the optional organic solvent.

Abstract: A dishwasher washes off leftovers adhering to tableware by washing water spouted toward the interior of a shower sink (12) and washes away the leftovers falling down into the shower sink (12) by the washing water. The cross-sectional shape of the shower sink (12) has a bottom wall (12a) of large curvature, a first lateral wall (12b) rising substantially upright from one end of the bottom wall (12a), and a second lateral wall (12c) having a curvature smaller than that of the bottom wall (12a) and rising from the other end of the bottom wall (12a). The flow channel cross-sectional area of the bottom wall (12a) is smaller than that of the shower sink (12) having a quadrangular or circular cross-section; therefore, even if water is saved by reducing the flow rate of washing water, it is possible to increase the flow rate of washing water flowing in the bottom wall (12a) to effectively wash away the leftovers.

Title: Thermal actuated plunger
Inventor: GIACAMINO JEFFREY L
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: A downhole plunger for a gas/oil well has an automatic type of brake to reduce its travel rate as it approaches the bottom or top of the well, and to open and close apertures without the physical impact of mechanical valve by-pass plungers. Normally open fluid pass-through corridors in the plunger are shut when the higher temperatures downhole activate a thermal actuator. When the valve seat is moved to the closed position, the fluids cannot pass through the normally open corridors inside the plunger.  This resultant increase in fluid resistance through or around the plunger slows the plunger down from a usual fall rate of about thirty miles per hour. When the plunger approaches the top of a well the thermal actuator partially opens to slow it down. An expanding pad version is shown too, as is a combination plunger with a data logger and a thermal activated brake.

Abstract: A method for determining quality and condition of a highly resistive fluid i n transportation and industrial equipment. The method applies a multitude of oscillating voltage signals at determined frequencies and offsets to electrodes immersed in the fluid and quantifies fluid response to the signal s. The method monitors response of the fluid to a preferred three fixed electrical signals applied a high and a medium frequency signal with zero offset voltage and a low frequency signal with an offset voltage. For fluids in applications where change in the fluid's change in high-frequency respons e is substantially less than changes in medium- and low-frequency responses, t he method can monitor response to only the medium-frequency, zero-offset-voltag e signal and the low-frequency, non-zero-offset-voltage signal. The magnitude and rate of change of fluid responses, relative to initial or peak values, a re used to essentially continuously determine fluid quality and condition while in use.
