Abstract: Des configurations de la présente invention procurent des dispositifs et des méthodes qui permettent de déterminer l'état du contenu d'un récipient. Les configurations comprennent des indicateurs d'état passifs qui changent d'état en fonction du laps de temps que le contenu a passé dans le récipient. Dans une configuration, l'indicateur d'état pourrait être une structure adhésive multicouche fixée au récipient qui présente des changements évidents en fonction du temps que le liquide est demeuré dans le récipient. Par exemple, la structure multicouche pourrait changer de couleur avec le temps. Dans une autre configuration, l'indicateur d'état pourrait consister en un chronomètre électronique fixé au récipient et à au moins un indicateur. Le chronomètre électronique pourrait être configuré pour aviser l'utilisateur ou les utilisateurs du fluide comprimé de l'âge du gaz comprimé au moyen d'indicateurs.

Inventor: HOLLIGER ROBERT
IPC: B23P6/00
Filed: 2006-11-14
Abstract: In order to repair damaged wooden pallets (1a) as simply, efficiently and permanently as possible, a multi-step method is proposed. Thereby, in a first step, the connector members of the pallet element to be replaced are cut through by means of a band saw and then removed. In a subsequent step, both the partially disassembled pallet as well the new pallet elements are transferred into an assembly station (18), where the new pallet elements are attached to the pallet (1f) from the top side thereof. Preferably, damaged bot-tom parts of the pallet, for example a bottom deck board member or a con-necting block member, are removed as a module, i.e. in the form of a skid.    Such a procedure facilitates the attachment of the spare module from the top side of the pallet. Before the replacement module is attached, preferably the position of the connector elements still present in a top deck board member is electronically scanned, such that the new connector members can be applied, by means of a suitable apparatus, in a position offset to the existing connector members. With the exception of cutting the connector members, all subse-quent method steps are performed fully automated, i.e. without any human assistance.

Abstract: An alert system for a communications network has a plurality of client devices and a plurality of alert servers each adapted to provide alerts to a respective subset of the client devices to provide scalability. Users at the client devices subscribe to receive alerts by selecting a scope of distribution of alerts.  The selection involves selecting a type of alert to receive, a level of severity of alerts to receive, and a geographic scope.  In response to receiving a request to issue an alert, an alert server notifies the other alert servers of the alert. Each alert server determines which client devices of the respective subset of client devices are to receive the alert. Each alert server then sends an alert message to its client devices that are to receive the alert.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for reducing the noise generated by compressors, including Roots-type blowers. The invention has particular use for reducing noise generated by compressors used in mechanical ventilators, though the advantages thereof may be realized in many different applications. One embodiment of the invention comprises a noise-attenuating gas flow path for a compressor contained in a portable ventilator housing. In one embodiment, the gas flow path comprises a plurality of chambers interconnected by flow tubes. The flow path is folded so as to fit into the limited space of a portable ventilator housing. The dimensions of the chambers and the flow tubes are selected so that an impedance mismatch is created between the chambers and the flow tubes. In one embodiment of the invention, the flow path comprises one or more perforated tubes located in one or more of the chambers. The perforated tube has a port through which gas is accepted and at least one exterior tube through which gas exits. Impedance mismatches are created between the inlet chamber and the exterior tubes and between the exterior tubes and the chamber in which the perforated tube is located, which are useful in attenuating noise. One embodiment of the invention comprises a noise attenuating mounting system for a compressor. The mount system comprises flexible mounts that cooperate to dampen vibrations generated by the compressor.

Title: Real-time production-side monitoring and control for heat assisted fluid recovery applications
Inventor: WALFORD MERRICK
IPC: E21B47/07
Filed: 2007-01-18
Abstract: An automatic control system that protects downhole equipment and surface equipment from high temperatures resulting from the breakthrough of injection vapor. The system operates to derive an estimate of the temperature of production fluid at a location upstream from the downhole equipment. An alarm signal is generated in the event that this temperature exceeds a threshold temperature characteristic of injection vapor breakthrough. Electric power to the downhole equipment is automatically shut off in response to receiving the alarm signal. A bypass valve selectively directs production fluid to a bypass path.  The system operates to derive an estimate of the temperature of the production fluid at a location upstream from the surface equipment. An alarm signal is generated when this temperature exceeds a threshold temperature characteristic of injection vapor breakthrough. The bypass valve is automatically controlled to direct production fluid to the bypass path in response to receiving the alarm signal.
