Title: Meter and manifold assembly with particle entrapment recess
Inventor: EVANS GERALD JOHN
IPC: B01D29/01
Filed: 1994-10-11
Abstract: A meter and manifold assembly has a particle entrapment unit 121 detachably connected between a meter unit 11 and a manifold 10, particle entrapment unit 121 has at least one upwardly facing recess 36 to encapture particles which have dropped out of suspension from the fluid entering the large internal void 120, thus keeping the metering components of the meter unit 11 free from clogging up. The outer casing 30 of entrapment unit 121 has a maximum internal transverse area greater than that of its inlet flow-way 33 from the manifold causing the slowing down of the fluid and the precipitation of the particles. In use, cleaner fluid continues from the void 120 to the meter 11 and from the meter 11 to the manifold 10 through central outlet flow-way 31 of the entrapment unit 121. The at least one recess may be formed from a wall 37 of the inlet flow-way 33, be at least partially covered by a filter, be radially outwardly of the inlet flow-way 33 and there may be a plurality of recesses. The entrapment unit 121 may be separable into two halves 38, 39 for cleaning of the unit.

Title: Offshore Fluid Transfer System
Inventor: POLLACK JACK
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 1997-11-11
Abstract: In an offshore fluid transfer system 10, of the type that includes a mooring arrangement 32 having an upper end 34 connected through a universal joint 36 to a turret 22 on a vessel and having a lower end 36 anchored by catenary chains 40, and also includes hoses 70,71 each extending from a base 50, 58 on the seafloor to the turret on the vessel, a fluid coupling 73 near the bottom of the turret and widely spaced from the universal joint 36, connects to a hose 70,71 that extends from the fluid coupling in a sinuous path down to the seafloor base 50,58. The long length of hose 70,71 enables it to bend when the vessel drifts, to avoid excessive hose tension or contact with the mooring arrangement during such vessel drift. A connector (102, Fig 4) can be operated to disconnect the mooring arrangement from the turret so the arrangement can sink. The fluid coupling 73 can include a fluid connector (100, Fig 4) which can separately disconnect the hose from the turret. A ring-shaped holder 80 connected to the hose lies around the axis of the turret and around the mooring arrangement.

Title: Vehicle control apparatus
Inventor: HIGASHIMATA AKIRA
IPC: B60K31/00
Filed: 1998-03-31
Abstract: The apparatus is arranged to calculate a target speed V* for following a preceding vehicle at a target vehicle-to-vehicle distance L*. The target speed V* is calculated from an equation having a form of a linear combination of a form which includes a linear connection between a product of a first gain (fd) and a difference (L* - L) between the vehicle-to-vehicle distance L and the target distance L* and a product of a second gain (fv) and the relative speed #V. The apparatus controls the engine and the transmisssion of the vehicle so as to adjust the vehicle speed to the target speed V*. This enables the vehicle-to-vehicle distance to be converged to the target value without excessively increasing or decreasing the relative speed #V during this follow-up control.

Patent GB-190021565-A (GB)
Abstract: 21,565. Vogt, A., and Recklinghausen, M. von. Nov. 28. Direct explosive - gas pressure apparatus.-A mixture of a combustible powder, oil, or gas and air is exploded in a chamber 1 and forces liquid from it through valves 6 into a chamber 3, from which it flows to a place 28 to drive a water motor. The exhaust gases are blown out of the chamber 1 through a valve 62 by air entering by the valve 63, and then water is admitted again to the chamber 1 from the chamber 2 through the valves 4, 5. The valves 4, 5 are operated alternately by the pressure in the chamber 1 and by the spring 11, and they, in turn, operate a lever 9 pivoted at 8, which is released by trip gear 13, 15 controlled by the pressure in the chamber 3 acting on a diaphragm 19, and operates, through a rod 12, the fuel-supply apparatus, and, through trip gear 14, 22 and a rod 25, the valves 62, 63. The fuel falls from an intermittentlyrotating measuring-valve 43 below the hopper 41 into the bottom of a chamber 42, where it is first disturbed by a small air jet, being then expelled by a larger one into a cup 59 ; in this it ignites spontaneously. The air is supplied by a pipe 32 from a reservoir 33, which is in communication with an air pump 10. The scavenging charge of air is supplied from an apparatus 36 worked by the difference in pressure in the chambers 2, 3. Elongated passages 88 lead to the valves 6 from the explosion chamber, to prevent the escape of gases with the liquid, which is directed by the piece 74. An electric igniter 78 may be provided, if the engine is worked by gaseous fuel, and the circuit completed by the pressure in the chamber 1 acting on a diaphragm. Leakage in the system is compensated for by a pumping-apparatus 40 with an inlet cock 71 and a cock 72 leading to the air vessel 70 controlled by one hand-lever 73, so that one cock can be open while the other is closed. Pipes 38 and 39 lead to the chamber 2 and the space below the valves 4 and 5, the difference in pressure in these chambers working the apparatus. A very high pressure is maintained in the system.
