Title: Progressing cavity pump system for transporting high-solids, high-viscosity, dewatered materials
Inventor: WILD ALAN G
IPC: F04C15/00
Filed: 2001-08-17
Abstract: A system and method for transporting high-viscosity, high-solids, dewatered materials essentially includes a progressing cavity pump system utilizing a twin-screw feeder with an extended tunnel section. The feeding of the material into an extended tunnel section of the twin screw feeder creates a positive pressure, which assists in feeding the product into the suction housing of the progressing cavity pump, and correspondingly, into the pumping elements. This increases volumetric (fill) efficiency of the progressing cavity pump, thereby allowing a smaller pump to be used. The suction housing of the progressing cavity pump includes an auger positioned therein that is directly coupled to, and preferably integral with, the progressing cavity rotor. The universal joint is moved from the position in front of the stator entrance to a point behind the auger and suction inlet opening to improve flow of material from the suction housing to the progressing cavity pump elements. The inlet conduit coupled to the transition housing is angled slightly towards the direction of flow to further improve the flow efficiency and increase the fill rate of the progressing cavity pump elements. The feeder mechanism of the present system is radially set apart from the progressing cavity elements, where the materials are transported from the extended tunnel section of the feeder to the suction housing of the progressing cavity pump by a transition conduit. In one embodiment, the feeder is positioned above the progressing cavity pumping elements providing a taller system but with a relatively small footprint.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a continuously variable transmission incorporating a variator of the type having at least two co-axial races (D1-D4) between which drive is transferred at a continuously variable variator ratio. The variator races are mounted for rotation about a variator shaft (16). The transmission has a layshaft (18) which is laterally separated from the variator shaft. It has two epicyclic gears. A splitter epicyclic (14) has an input member driven from the transmission input (10) and two output members arranged respectively to drive the layshaft and the variator shaft. A recirculater epicyclic has first and second input members for coupling respectively to the variator shaft and to the layshaft and a recirculater output member. An arrangement of clutches is provided for selectively engaging any of at least three regimes.  In one regime the recirculater output member drives the transmission output. In another the layshaft drives the transmission output. In a third, the variator shaft drives the transmission output. The arrangement of the components is such that the variator shaft is co-axial with the transmission output, the recirculater epicyclic, a first coupling, between the recirculater output member and the transmission output, which serves to drive the transmission output in the first regime, and a second coupling, between the variator shaft and the transmission output, which serves to drive the transmission output in the third above-mentioned regime.

Abstract: A wireless seismic data acquisition unit with a wireless receiver providing access to a common remote time reference shared by a plurality of wireless seismic data acquisition units in a seismic system. The receiver is capable of replicating local version of remote time epoch to which a seismic sensor analog-to-digital converter is synchronized. The receiver is capable of replicating local version of remote common time reference for the purpose of time stamping local node events. The receiver is capable of being placed in a low power, non- operational state over periods of time during which the seismic data acquisition unit continues to record seismic data, thus conserving unit battery power. The system implements a method to correct the local time clock based on intermittent access to the common remote time reference. The method corrects the local time clock via a voltage controlled oscillator to account for environmentally induced timing errors. The invention further provides for a more stable method of correcting drift in the local time clock.
