Title: Frozen product vending machine
Inventor: SELFRIDGE GLENN D
IPC: G07F11/10
Filed: 2003-06-13
Granted: 2007-10-02
Abstract: A frozen product, upright-style vending machine having a pick and place mechanism moveable in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) with a fourth, rotational, degree of freedom (W) effected using the Z axis drive. The mechanism moves along tracks in the X-Y directions and is permitted full range of motion by an extension hose. Frozen products are arranged in a container within the vending machine freezer, the container acting as a virtual cold-wall freezer trapping cold air. The pick and place mechanism positions a vacuum pick-up head over the appropriate product along the X-Y tracks in response to a customer selection. The vacuum pick-up head is attached to a vacuum hose which is wound on a hose reel. The vacuum hose is unwound to lower the vacuum pick-up head along the Z axis to the selected product and, when suction has been established against a selected product in the virtual cold-wall freezer, the vacuum hose is rewound. By over-driving the Z-axis drive motor, the pick-up head is rotated to a horizontal position by hose tension, and the product is dispensed through a delivery door positioned relatively high on the vending machine such that the frozen products are not dropped a significant distance and broken during delivery.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for downhole remediation. In the preferred embodiment, a bridge plug and service packer can be run into a well on coiled or rigid tubing. The assembly is capably of being set without rotation. The service packer is locked against setting until it is separated from the bridge plug. Setting of the bridge plug closes a passage within it that had been open to facilitate circulation during run-in. The service packer is set with longitudinal movements using an indexing mechanism. At the conclusion of the procedure, the service packer is released anti lowered to recapture the bridge plug. The bridge plug is equalized and released to allow the assembly to be repositioned elsewhere in the wellbore or retrieved. The spacing between the packer and bridge plug can be varied as desired.

Abstract: The present invention provides a docking mechanism that is capable of interfacing with Apogee Boost Motors (ABM) including Liquid Apogee Motors (LAM) of the satellite being captured to allow a servicing spacecraft to dock with a satellite that has no special docking features. The docking mechanism includes a compliant probe with spring-loaded fingers at its tip which is inserted into the LAM by the approach motion of the servicer spacecraft. When the probe tip has passed beyond the throat of the LAM the finger extend to trap the LAM on the probe thus achieving capture. The rigidization stage of docking is achieved by retracting the probe to pull the two spacecraft together. The docking mechanism includes abutment pads which interface with the launcher interface ring of the client spacecraft. With the preload applied by the probe retraction mechanism reacted through these pads, the docking mechanism can maintain a rigid docked interface under loads induced by thrusting maneuvers of the combined spacecraft or loads induced by on-orbit servicing operations.
