Title: Rotary fluid agitator
Inventor: YUNGBLUT JOHN DAVID
IPC: B01F5/10
Filed: 2004-07-30
Granted: 2009-05-26
Abstract: A rotary fluid agitator is provided. The rotary fluid agitator essentially comprises a fluid conduit that is positioned vertically within a storage tank holding a quantity of fluid, suck as a drilling fluid. At least one nozzle is attached to the fluid conduit for jetting a stream of fluid into to the fluid contained within the tank. A drive means is connected to the fluid conduit and rotates the conduit to sweep the nozzle through a 360-degree arcuate path at a predetermined rotational frequency. A fluid pump is attached in fluid communication with the interior volume of the tank and pumps a quantity of drilling fluid through a fluid circulation line and through the fluid conduit to be jetted out of the nozzle. As the nozzle is swept through the arcuate path a conically shaped fluid flow path is created in the fluid contained within the tank causing the jetted fluid to tangentially act upon the fluid thereby keeping all solid particulates mixed with the fluid in suspension.

Title: Method of controlling a lift installation, and a lift installation
Inventor: KOSTKA MIROSLAV
IPC: B66B1/20
Filed: 2004-10-07
Granted: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A method of controlling a lift installation, which comprises a lift cage (EC) transporting passengers between storeys (1 to 18) of a building, comprises the following method steps: a) the travel wishes of the passengers are input by way of a destination call control and booked by the destination call control as destination calls and b) an instantaneous load disposed in the lift cage (EC) is determined by a load measuring device at a fixable point in time. In order to make uniform the waiting times of passengers in the case of incorrect operation of the destination call control and to ensure, for all passengers, an optimised transport time with maximum transport capacity the method additionally proposes that c) the instantaneous load is compared with a full load parameter and in the case of exceeding of the full load parameter a bypass function is activated. The bypass function is in that case activated for those storeys for which destination storeys are booked and which are passed during a half circuit of the lift cage.
Patent CA-2485848-C (CA)
Inventor: GREBER ERICH
IPC: B23Q3/18
Filed: 2004-10-25
Granted: 2007-01-16
Abstract: The clamping apparatus comprises a first coupling element and a second coupling element that can be releasably attached thereto. The first coupling element is provided with four at least partially conical centering pins that are adapted to engage four grooves correspondingly arranged on the second coupling element. Both coupling elements have stop surfaces serving as Z references, cooperating upon clamping together the two coupling elements to determine the position of the second coupling element with regard to the first coupling element in Z-direction once they are clamped together. Tree centering pins are, in relation to the grooves, designed such that each centering pin rests only on one flank of the associated groove. Thus, a gap remains between the centering pin and the other flank of the groove. Out of the overall eight groove flanks of the four grooves, the centering pins rest on in each case two pairs of diametrically opposite flanks, while they do not rest on the two further pairs of oppositely located flanks.

IPC: B01J19/24
Filed: 2005-05-05
Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: A compact, ground surface mounted wastewater treatment unit module. The module is surface mounted on a selected substrate such as a scarified native soil. A watertight receiving basin is located on the substrate. The basin is at least partially filled with a lower layer of packing media, suitable for support of biological growth, and then with at least a first and a final layer of a porous granular media. A standpipe introduces wastewater to be treated, and such wastewater is distributed to the packing at the lower reaches of the basin. The wastewater flows up through the packing, and into the first layer of a porous granular media, and thence upwardly and outwardly via capillary action and molecular attraction, and ultimately though the final porous granular media. Treated wastewater is either collected or absorbed in an absorption foot interface between the final medium and the native earth below.

Abstract: A mass transfer column (10) is provided with at least one vapor-liquid contact tray (12) that is disposed within the open internal region (14) defined by a shell (16) of the column (10). At least one expansion ring (26) underlies and supports the vapor-liquid contact tray (12). An expander (38) is associated with first and second end segments (32, 34) of the expansion ring (26) that define a cutout (36) in the expansion ring (26). The expander (38) includes brackets (48) welded to the end segments (32, 34) and a threaded member (50) that extends through the brackets (48) and carries nuts (54). Turning the nuts (54) against facing surfaces of the brackets (48) causes the first and second end segments (32, 34) of the expansion ring (26) to be forced apart to cause an increase in the circumference of the expansion ring (26), thereby sealing the expansion ring (26) against the inner surface of the column shell. At least one seal plate (58) is positioned on the threaded member (50) to block the cutout (36) in the expansion ring (26). Rods (27) extend between the expansion ring (26) and a support ring (24) that is welded to the column shell (16) to transfer a portion of the load carried by the expansion ring (26) to the support ring (24).
