Title: Apparatus and method for correcting skew of a traveling crane
Inventor: THORSEN GEORGE E
IPC: B66B5/00
Filed: 1989-06-22
Granted: 1993-04-06
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A skew correction apparatus for a crane traveling on generally parallel spaced apart rails and having a drive wheel on each rail rotatably driven at the same speed.          The drive wheels each have center cylindrical portions riding on a rail head and inside and outside flanges facing the sides of the rail head and having a larger diameter than the diameter of the center portion.   The clearance distance between the inside flange of each drive wheel and the rail side it faces is smaller than the clearance distance between the outside flange and the rail side the outside flange faces.  Thus, if the drive wheels and thereby the crane become skewed, only the inside drive wheel flanges will engage the rail sides.   The lagging wheel of the skewed wheels will rotate against the rail side on the larger flange diameter of the wheel and tend to ride up on the rail side.   Rotating on the larger flange diameter will increase the linear speed of the lagging wheel, since it continues to rotate at the same rotating speed as the leading wheel, so that it will catch up with the leading wheel and thereby correct the skew.

Inventor: BESEMER DON
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 1989-09-26
Granted: 1993-11-09
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A dilution and mixing cartridge for automatically measuring and diluting a liquid sample with a liquid diluent.  There is a housing able to receive a sample and a flow directing chamber formed as an internal chamber in the housing.  A sample can be delivered from the flow directing chamber.  Diluent can be received and delivered to the flow directing chamber.  A receiving chamber is formed as a vented internal chamber in the housing.  A measuring chamber is also present in the housing and has a volume smaller than the volume of the receiving chamber.  The measuring chamber connects the flow directing chamber to the receiving chamber.  The measuring chamber is capable of delivering sample and diluent from the flow directing chamber to the receiving chamber solely by capillary and gravitational forces.  A stop flow junction is located at the end of the measuring chamber.  The stop flow junction provides sufficient back pressure resulting from contact between the sample and the wall of the housing at the stop flow junction to prevent sample from flowing through the stop flow junction in the absence of diluent but allowing flow through the junction when diluent enters the flow directing chamber.  The flow directing chamber can be emptied after sample has entered it and has filled the measuring chamber.  The emptying is carried out by capillary and gravitational forces. Thus diluent flows through the flow directing chamber and expels sample from the measuring chamber into the receiving chamber.  This causes a fixed ratio of sample to diluent to be delivered to the receiving chamber.

Title: Radiation dosimeter disassembly, assembly and reading apparatuses and methods
Inventor: HOELSCHER JAMES W
IPC: G01T1/02
Filed: 1989-09-28
Granted: 1993-06-22
Abstract: Abstract Disclosed is a radiation dosimeter reading apparatus designed to disassemble, reposition, read, and reassemble radiation dosimeter badges. The dosimeter reading apparatus includes a dosimeter badge chuck assembly which engages a dosimeter badge held in an infeed dosimeter badge holder. The chuck assembly engages the dosimeter badge using a set of tamper element prongs which depress a tamper ring which forms part of the dosimeter badge. The depression of the badge tamper ring releases a locking ring which also forms part of the dosimeter badge. Once the locking ring is freed, then another set of prongs on the chuck assembly are rotated to rotate the locking ring of the badge and thereby release a disk-shaped dosimeter badge insert. The chuck assembly is further adapted to grasp the released insert by contracting the tamper element prongs inwardly against the periphery of the disk-shaped insert to hold the insert on the chuck assembly. The chuck assembly then is carried with the removed badge insert on a chuck positioning mechanism which places inside of the dosimeter insert adjacent to a laser reading arrangement which stimulates the dosimeters with a laser beam and measures the amount of luminescent energy stored in the dosimeters held on the badge.          After reading the badge is reassembled by inserting the disk-shaped badge insert into the remaining portions of the dosimeter badge and rotating the locking ring with the chuck assembly locking prongs thereby sealing the insert and badge case together.          The invention also includes methods for assembly, disassembly and reading of dosimeter badges.

Title: Apparatus and method for determining if a particular plug-in card is appropriate for use with an electronic processor
Inventor: SEXTON DANIEL W
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1989-09-28
Granted: 1993-08-31
Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING IF A PARTICULAR PLUG-IN CARD IS APPROPRIATE   FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRONIC PROCESSOR     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         An electronic processor based system is provided which is capable of receiving plug-in cards. The plug-in card includes a memory which contains a first error check word which is a function of seed data words which are also stored in that memory.  The first error check word is related to the seed data words by a predetermined algorithm.  When the card is inserted in the processor system, the system reads the first error check word and the seed data words stored in the memory on the card.  In one form, the processor system then performs its own independent calculation of a second error check word by using the same predetermined algorithm to operate on the seed data words retrieved from the card.  The processor system compares the second error check word with the retrieved first error check word.  If the second error check word is found to be the same as the retrieved first error check word, then the card is permitted to continue operation together with the system.  However, if the second error check word is not found to be the same as the retrieved first error check word, then the card is not permitted to continue operating with the system.

Granted: 1999-12-21
Abstract: This invention pertains to movable storage systems wherein a series of storage units having shelves or bins are supported on wheeled carriages to provide for moving the units on tracks to create an access aisle between any two of the units and to establish the others in close side-by-side relationship to minimize the amount of floor space required for the units. There i.s a reversible electric motor mounted on each of the :storage units so the units can be driven in either direction along the tracks. In particular, the invention resides in a new limit switch assembly which is capable of governing the time at which acceleration anal deceleration of the units occurs as they are moved in series to close a presently open aisle and to thereby create the space for opening a presently closed aisle between units.      Details of the electrical controllers which are mounted on the individual movable storage units and a more extensive description of all of the structural and operating features of a mobile storage system are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,759,592.

Title: Use of c02/steam to enhance steam floods in horizontal wellbores
Inventor: JENNINGS ALFRED R JR
IPC: E21B43/30
Filed: 1990-07-13
Granted: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A method to enhance steam flooding where at least two horizontal wellbores are utilized. Carbon dioxide is injected into a lower perforated horizontal wellbore. Once sufficient carbon dioxide has been injected into the formation, steam is injected through the lower horizontal wellbore. The steam displaces the carbon dioxide into the formation where it contacts and mixes with hydrocarbonaceous fluids. Steam causes the carbon dioxide to expand, thereby providing for a better sweep of the formation. Steam injection is ceased and liquid carbon dioxide injection again is commenced. Afterwards, steam is injected again into the formation. This sequence is continued until it becomes uneconomical to produce hydrocarbonaceous fluids from an upper horizontal wellbore. Hydrocarbon displacement efficiencies are enhanced when hydrocarbons are produced into the upper horizontal wellbore due to viscosity and density differences.
