Title: Two delay coil sagnac-based sensor array
Inventor: VAKOC BENJAMIN J
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2002-08-07
Abstract: A folded Sagnac fiber optic sensor array uses a common delay path to reduce distributed pickup in downlead fibers. The sensor array is used to detect perturbations (e.g., acoustic waves in water). By basing the folded Sagnac sensor array on operating principles similar to the Sagnac interferometer th e sensor array has a stable bias point, has reduced phase noise, and allows a broadband signal source to be used rather than requiring a more expensive narrowline laser. A large number of sensors can be multiplexed into the architecture of the sensor array. In one particularly preferred embodiment, the sensor array is configured with couplers and amplifiers selected to dire ct substantially equal portions of an input light signal to each sensor in the array. In another particularly preferred embodiment, first and second delay paths (2240 & 2242) are provided for light at first and second wavelengt hs (2210 & 2212) to increase the dynamic range of the sensors.

IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A propagation relay (2), attached to an enclosure (4), receives a wireless signal (6). The signal is sent from a base station (8) over a downlink frequency. The propagation relay converts the downlink signal and transmits it (10) wirelessly, using a different frequency, to mobile station interface ports (12) located within the enclosure. The mobile station interface ports convert the signal back into one at the downlink frequency and send it (16), via a wireless link, to mobile stations (16) inside the enclosure.  Communication from the mobile stations to the base station occurs in the same manner.

Title: Method and apparatus for warming and storage of cold fluids
Inventor: MCCALL MICHAEL M
IPC: F17C5/06
Filed: 2002-09-18
Abstract: Stranded natural gas is sometimes liquefied and sent to other countries that can use the gas in a transport ship. Conventional receiving terminals use large cryogenic storage tanks to hold the liquefied natural gas (LNG) after it has been offloaded from the ship. The present invention eliminates the need for the conventional cryogenic storage tanks and instead uses uncompensated salt caverns to store the product. The present invention can use a special heat exchanger, referred to as a Bishop Process heat exchanger, to warm the LNG prior to storage in the salt caverns or the invention can use conventional vaporizing systems some of which may be reinforced and strengthened to accommodate higher operating pressures. In one embodiment, the LNG is pumped to higher pressures and converted to dense phase natural gas prior to being transferred into the heat exchanger and the uncompensated salt caverns.

Abstract: A probe having a pair of electrodes is excited with a low A.C. voltage at a relatively high and relatively low frequency and the difference in current measured. The difference dZ between bulk fluid and interfacial impedance is computed from the current difference. The rate of change .DELTA.dZ of the impedance difference is determined over a time interval and a physiochemical parameter (X) determined when .DELTA.dZ is positive from lubricant with known amounts of constituents selected from the group consisting of (a) Phosphorus, Oxygen and Carbon (P-O-C); (b) Phosphorous and double bond Sulphur (P = S); (c) Zincdialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP); and (d) the Total Base Number TBN by measuring CaCO3 (CO3), from a table of the selected parameter X versus dZ in a first region of the table and determining RUL from a table of RUL versus parameter X (X1). The value of the selected parameter X when .DELTA.dZ is negative is determined from a second region of the table of X versus dZ. The rate of change .PSI. of X over a time interval is determined and RUL determined from a known value of X EOL for the end of the lubricant life.

Title: Remote actuator for ball injector
Inventor: DIAZ JUAN M
IPC: F16H55/02
Filed: 2005-02-15
Abstract: An electrical motor rotatably drives a motor shaft, and a helical rib radially extends from the shaft. The helical rib supports a number of balls, and forms a channel to accommodate the balls. The balls are dropped from the helical rib when the balls reach the bottom of the helical rib. Several targets are affixed to the shaft. A sensor is located adjacent to and apart from the shaft, and is positioned in close proximity to the targets. The sensor senses each target as each target rotates past the sensor. The number of targets sensed per revolution of the shaft is equal to the number of balls dropped from the helical rib per revolution of the helical rib. A counter in data communication with the sensor displays the number of targets sensed, and thus displays the number or balls dropped from the helical rib.
