Title: Systeme catalytique de recuperation du soufre a faible temps de contact pour eliminer le h2s d'un circuit de rejets gazeux
Inventor: PRUITT TERRY D
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2001-12-18
Granted: 2006-11-14
Abstract: An apparatus and process for recovering elemental sulfur from a H2S-containing waste gas stream are disclosed, along with a method of making a preferred catalyst for catalyzing the process. The apparatus preferably comprises a short contact time catalytic partial oxidation reactor, a cooling zone, and a sulfur condenser. According to a preferred embodiment of the process, a mixture of H2S and O2 contacts the catalyst very briefly (i.e, less than about 200 milliseconds). Some preferred catalyst devices comprise a reduced metal such as Pt, Rh, or Pt-Rh, and a lanthanide metal oxide, or a pre-carbided form of the metal. The preferred apparatus and process are capable of operating at superatmospheric pressure and improve the efficiency of converting H2S to sulfur, which will reduce the cost and complexity of construction and operation of a sulfur recovery plant used for waste gas cleanup.

Title: Journal bearing arrangement
Inventor: SWANN MICHAEL K
IPC: F16C17/03
Filed: 2002-06-06
Granted: 2010-10-19
Abstract: A tilting pad journal bearing, which may be a back-up bearing for a magnetically suspended shaft capable of applying shock loads thereto, comprises in a first embodiment (20, Fig 1) an annular housing (24) for an array of arcuate bearing pads (30i) resiliently mounted by spring means (70) which biases the pads against heads (52i) of restraining bosses (50i) that limit radial displacement and cause the bearing pads to define a shaft space. The pads have associated therewith support pegs (60) secured to housing or pad at one end and movable relative to the pad or housing at the other, and the spring means comprises stacks of individually deflectable elements mounted between relatively moving pad, housing or peg and pre-loaded by adjusting the effective gap with the pads against the bosses. The spring means is compactly formed by dished annular spring washers (72) mounted on the support pegs, relative movement between the springs during stack deflection also providing friction damping for the resilient suspension, being readily tuned by variation of number and stiffness of the spring washers. A second embodiment (120, Fig 5) employs stacks of circumferentially extending springs (172), the springs of each stack being radially and circumferentially off-set from each other and each contributing to the support of a number of adjacent bearing pads (130i). Each spring (172c) is centrally mounted on a Spigot (1602) associated with one pad (1302) and secured at their ends to circumferentially spaced pads (1301, 1303). The circumferential extent of each spring is preferably .plusmn.90" so that when displaced radially on the spigot by the pad central to it, the en ds displace their secured pad ends with respect to tapered restraining boss heads (152) and tilt towards the shaft space to make damping contact with the shaft in quadrature with the shaft load displacing the central pad. Also, relative movement between such nested springs provide friction damping. Furthermore, the restraining bosses may be displaceable together to eliminate the shaft space clearance if the magnetic suspension fails or shows signs of failing.

In one embodiment, the cereal bar is a non- cooked cereal bar having a total nutrient level equal to or greater than the nutrient level of a single serving of RTE cereal with milk. In one embodiment, the cereal layer is comprised of a cereal composition containing RTE cereal, high-protein rice pieces and TVP in a ratio of about 2:1:1. The cereal layer further comprises a binder to hold the cereal composition together. In one embodiment, the filling layer is a confectionery center that is high in milk content, but possesses a relatively low water activity. In one embodiment, the filling layer is a low water activity fruit filling layer. In another embodiment, a method for manufacturing a layered cereal bar having a visible filling layer is described. The steps include mixing a binder with a cereal composition having identifiable cereal pieces to form an amorphous mass, compressing the amorphous mass into a first layer and a second layer, applying a filling layer on the first layer, combining the first layer and filling layer with the second layer, and pressing the first layer, filling layer and second layer together to form pressed layers, wherein the pressed layers are cut into individual cereal bars having identifiable cereal pieces.

Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: A diagnostic platform includes a processor, storage media and user interfaces, including a display screen, the processor being coupled to engine analyzer hardware and adapted to be coupled to a scanner for downloading data from vehicle on-board computers. The system stores libraries of information regarding vehicle identifications, drivability symptoms exhibited by vehicles, vehicle system and component tests and service codes which can be registered by the vehicle on-board computer. System software permits the user to input an identification of the vehicle under test and, in one mode of operation, displays a library of faults, such as symptoms or service codes, from which the user can select those exhibited by the vehicle, whereupon the system selects from the test library those tests pertinent to diagnosis of the causes of the selected faults and displays them in a hierarchically ranked order based on likelihood of successful diagnosis of the faults. The user can then select and initiate any displayed test. In other modes, the system initially displays one of the libraries of system or component tests, from which the user selects those deemed appropriate, whereupon the system highlights icons which can be selected for initiating pertinent test procedures. Selected test procedures may include links to the engine analyzer or scanner hardware or other appropriate test modules.

Abstract: A machine for injecting liquids is disclosed including use of at least one air pump (32) in fluid communication with at least one injection head (34) having apertures (48) for nozzles (42). High-pressure injectate flows from the air pump into the head, preferably through a threadlessly mounted filter (72) located within the injection head. To further minimize contamination, fluid that enters the injection head will not contact any threading present in either the head or the nozzles. An air pressure regulator is included to ensure a steady stream of injectate of a desired pressure is delivered to an injection subject via each injection head and also helping to eliminate hesitation in delivery of the fluid by the air pump. Cleaning of the machine is simplified by moving sensitive components into a sealed enclosure, removing them from a wet working environment.

Title: Apparatus and method for determining the position of the end of a threaded connection, and for positioning a power tong relative thereto
Inventor: ROGERS TOMMIE L
IPC: G01N27/72

Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: Apparatus and method for positioning a power makeup/breakout device, commonly referred to as a ~power tong unit~ along the longitudinal axis of a tubular, with respect to the end of a connection. A probe having an electric coil is mounted on the power tong. An alternating electric current is flowed through the coil, creating an electro-magnetic field emanating from the coil.  Positioning the coil such that the tubular connection is within the magnetic field, then moving the coil such that the connection end moves within the magnetic field, permits the connection end to be seen as a discontinuity, by the principles of eddy current testing. The location of the connection end is used to manually position the tong, or is input to a processor and then to a power positioner, which properly positions the power tong with respect to the connection end.
