Title: Universal mount spacer for anti-rotation device
Inventor: AGIUS NICHOLAS V
IPC: F16D1/06
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: The "Universal spacer" provides a way to safely mount an Anti-rotation device (ARD) to a fin fan shaft. The ARD holds fans stationary when not being used to stop them from spinning backwards.  Fans that are not held from spinning backwards can cause damage to machinery and be a safety issue for workers. This ARD was previously patented by Nicholas Agius in Canada and USA (US  Patent # 5,562,418 and Canadian Patent # 2,127,726). The ARD bolts to the bottom of a vertical fin fan shaft's (driven) timing belt pulley. The ARD bolts to the bushing that secures this driven pulley to the fan shaft. If the pulley bushing is a taper-lock style (which is the most common style) then some sort of spacer or a spigot flange is required to ensure that the bolting force of the ARD is directed to the taper-lock bushing face and not the shaft end or pulley face.   Since there is more than one size of taper-lock bushing being used world wide (for fin fans) this meant there was a need for more than one size of ARD to fit everything. This is why the "Universal spacer" was invented. With the "Universal spacer" now one ARD can fit every taper-lock bushing size worldwide. I invented the "Universal spacer" for the ARD market so the ARD can be bolted to many different taper-lock bushings with one simple "Universal spacer" design.   My "Universal spacer" invention is unique as it is four spacers in one so less material cost and waste which provide a simple low cost solution and make the ARD more versatile for the world wide market. It also lowers the costs for the ARD's to the end-user.   The "Universal spacer" will fit four different sizes of taper lock bushings which will cover 99% of all fin fan shafts worldwide.

Title: Configurations and methods of rvp control for c5+ condensates
Inventor: MAK JOHN
IPC: C10L3/00
Filed: 2007-10-24
Abstract: Controlled RVP C5+ products are produced from feed gas in configurations and methods in which a heavier portion of the feed gas is fractionated into several streams having distinct RVP and in which a C5+ stream is produced from the lighter portion of the feed gas. The so formed streams are then combined to produce C5+ products with controlled RVP. Thus, RVP control is achieved without the need for external products for blending process streams derived from the feed gas.

Title: Downhole tool operated by shape memory material springs
Inventor: FAY PETER J
IPC: F03G7/06
Filed: 2007-07-05
Abstract: The invention features the use of a shape memory material in a downhole application to provide an energy source for at least in part setting the tool (10). In a specific application the springs (34) that set slips (12) for a liner hanger are made from the shape memory material and easily pre-compressed below the transition temperature when the material has low modulus of elasticity. The tool (10) is run into position where a heat source such as well fluids or a heater can bring the springs (34) above the transition temperature to store a force. The tool is then independently released to allow the stored force to set the tool.
