Title: Retainer lock nut for the stem packing of a fluid pressure control device
Inventor: LOVELL MICHEL K
IPC: F16K41/04
Filed: 2003-08-26
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: A control valve includes a valve body (14) defining a top opening. A bonnet (28) is provided for closing off the top opening of the valve body. A stem (40) housed in the bonnet and the valve housing slidably moves a valve plug (30) in the valve housing to open and close the valve. A packing assembly (44) is provided for sealing between the stem and bonnet, and a packing retainer maintains the packing assembly within the bonnet. A retainer ring (12) is provided for securing the packing retainer (48) in place. The retainer ring can be formed as a generally cylindrical ring that engages the packing retainer and can be tightened on the packing retainer. Outer notches (56) formed in an exterior surface of the lock nut provide for tightening of the lock nut with a tool. In addition, the retainer ring may include a lower portion that closely receives an outer surface of the packing retainer, thereby to center the retainer ring with the packing retainer. Still further, the retainer ring may have an upper portion that automatically centers the retainer ring with the bonnet.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a laser welding system having a travel path to carry a first blank and a second blank. An upstream clamp assembly and a downstream clamp assembly are positioned on the travel path and each of the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies are movable to an open position to allow the first blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly to a first location within the downstream clamp assembly. A laser welding source is directed at a weld location on the travel path between the upstream and downstream clamp assemblies. At least one locating means is operable to locate the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. A first displacement means displaces the first weld edge against the locating means. The downstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to a closed clamped position to clamp the first blank with the first weld edge adjacent the weld location. The locating means is operable to be withdrawn from the travel path. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the open position to an intermediate position, which is selected to guide the second blank to pass through the upstream clamp assembly in a substantially coplanar relationship with the first blank so that the second weld edge makes contact with, but not past, the first weld edge. A second displacement means displaces the second blank to a location adjacent the weld location where the second weld edge abuts the first weld edge. The upstream clamp assembly is movable from the intermediate position to a closed clamped position to clamp the second blank and the - the laser welding source is operable to fuse the first and second weld edges blanks together.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intervertebral disc prosthesis for the total replacement of the intervertebral disc within the lumbar and cervical spine. For a two part as well as for a three part intervertebral disc prosthesis, according to the invention, in accordance to the design of the edges of the sliding partners, there are aspects for at least one of the sliding partners, in which there is an wavelike design of the edge, as the respectively differently high edge regions preferably fluently merge. A significant advantage of the two intervertebral disc prostheses, according to the invention, compared to the present state of the art of already known prostheses, is that as a result of a central transfer of load across a large surface area due to the spherical sliding surfaces, the maximally possible inclination of the sliding partners towards each other in a dorsoventral and laterolateral direction and/or the extent of rotation can, according to the invention, be defined through the wavelike design of the edge region.

Abstract: The invention relates to on-line sorting of waste matter. Known processing waste plants may produce excessive pollutants depending on the level of specific chemicals in the treated materials. To solve this problem a control volume of waste is introduced into a pulsed neutron material analyzer that determines the content of the specific chemical therein. A computer then decides whether the level of the chemical in the waste control volume is above or below a preset threshold, and accordingly channels the waste into one or another of two channels. One of these channels accepts waste with low content of the given chemical, for introduction into a waste processing chamber. The other channel stores the waste until it may be mixed with other waste having a sufficient low content such that the overall amount of the chemical is still below the threshold value.

Abstract: In order to detect, localize and interpret a partial discharge occurring in a partial discharge site along an electrical equipment, two measurement probes and a synchronization probe are installed along the electrical equipment. The measurement probes detect pulses travelling in the electrical equipment while the synchronization probe detects a phase angle in the electrical equipment and is usable for calibration purposes. A control unit receives the signals sensed by the probes and conditions them. Digital processings applied on the conditioned signals, involving their correlation, a time-frequency distribution and a form factor estimation, allows establishing a diagnosis indicating a detection of a partial discharge and its localization along the electrical equipment.
