Title: Earthquake protection consisting of vibration-isolated mounting of buildings and objects using virtual pendulums with long cycles
Inventor: BIERWIRTH FRIEDHELM
IPC: E04H9/02
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: The invention relates to an earthquake protection system that is entirely immune to seismic activity. According to the inventive method buildings and other objects are supported by Virtual Pendulums (P v) designed as QuakeProtect Modules (56). Although requiring only little height for installation, these earthquake protection modules allow a freedom of movement for the load bearing support points of the supported structure as if they were the oscillating ends of long pendulums with long cycles of their own. As the result of which the supported object is efficiently isolated from the considerably higher frequent earthquake ground oscillations. The functional behavior of the system is not affected by the extent of the base acceleration or the frequency of the ground oscillation. Even in an earthquake of greatest magnitude the supported object will remain still. The system can be configured for any load and any conceivable ground oscillation amplitudes. The invention describes four different examples of solutions that apply the inventive method, variants and devices derived therefrom for various applications.  Additionally are described devices needed to provide support against wind forces and to center a supported object under wind loads and during ground oscillations, and as well devices for the isolation of vertical ground oscillations.

IPC: C07C1/20
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: An oxygenate conversion process and fast-fluidized bed reactor are disclosed having an upper disengaging zone and a lower reaction zone. The process is carried out in a reaction zone having a dense phase zone in the lower reaction zone and a transition zone which extends into the disengaging zone. A portion of the catalyst is withdrawn from above the transition zone in the disengaging zone, at least partially regenerated, and returned to a point above the dense phase zone, while catalyst is continuously circulated from the disengaging zone to the lower reaction zone. The process provides a method for carrying out the overall conversion reaction with a significantly reduced catalyst inventory compared to conventional bubbling bed reactors.

Patent CA-2323290-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEUROTH DAVID H
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: An electrical submersible pump assembly supported on coiled or continuous tubing. A power cable extends through the coiled tubing for supplying electrical power to the pump assembly. The cable has an outer diameter that is less than the inner diameter of the tubing, resulting in a cable annulus surrounding the cable. Supports attached to the cable fractionally or mechanically engage the cable with the coiled tubing to support the weight of the cable with the tubing. The supports define passages that allow fluid to flow by within the cable annulus from the surface. A port is provided in the coiled tubing at the electrical submersible pump assembly for discharging fluid pumped from the surface down the cable annulus. A tube may be provided to extend downward from the port alongside of the electrical submersible pump. Fluid may be pumped from an upper end of the well down the cable annulus and out of the port to free up sand accumulation on the packer.

Title: Rotatable hose coupling
Inventor: STOLTZ WERNHER J
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: A rotatable hose coupling is provided for use with a pool cleaner, particularly of the type powered by a suction or vacuum source via a flexible vacuum hose or the like connected to the suction side of conventional pool water filtration equipment, wherein the rotatable hose coupling is mounted in-line along the vacuum hose and responds to cyclic pressure differentials to index the hose through a rotational increment each time the filtration equipment is turned on and off. The rotatable hose coupling comprises a tubular plunger having one end received axially and slidably within a cam housing defining an axially opposed and spaced-apart pair of cam surfaces. At least one radially extending cam pin carried by the plunger engages the cam surfaces to rotatably index the cam housing relative to the plunger in response to axial back-and-forth displacement of the plunger within the cam housing. A spring-loaded bellows assembly normally urges the plunger in one axial direction relative to the cam housing when the filtration equipment is turned off, but responds to pressure when the filtration equipment is turned on to displace the plunger in an opposite axial direction relative to the cam housing. The plunger and cam housing are adapted for respective in-line connection along the hose length, typically near a coupling site for connecting the hose to the filtration equipment.
