Title: Apparatus and method for performance and fault data analysis
Inventor: HEDLUND ERIC H
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: An analysis scheduler for scheduling the automatic processing of performance data through a plurality of analysis tools is disclosed. Performance data provided to some of the tools by the analysis scheduler may be specified to be within a predetermined (but variable) look-back period. The analysis tools identify faults and anomalous conditions and also create repair recommendations, and automatically create problem cases when conditions warrant, or update existing problem cases with additional data, all under control of the analysis scheduler. The problem cases are reviewed by a human user and then forwarded to the railroad for implementation. A process for determining which faults are regarded as critical is also disclosed.
Patent AU-1264795-A (AU)
Title: Butterfly valve assembly and method of manufacture
Inventor: SHAFER TERRY CLEL
IPC: F16K35/06
Filed: 1994-12-02
Abstract: A butterfly valve assembly of plastic material for use in a plastic piping system. The valve body is made from thermoplastic wherein the valve seat has a hard core of phenolic or another plastic and a resilient cover. The plastic valve body utilizes a retainer ring in its construction to maintain pressure on the valve seat which aids in sealing the valve closure thereagainst. The closure disc may be of metal or plastic depending on the service contemplated. The closure disc is retained in the valve body by a lower valve stem which is affixed in the valve body to permit free rotation of the closure disc thereon and an upper valve stem which includes a central retainer ring and is supported by a housing on the valve body. The housing has a bushing that seats against the retainer ring and a tubular plug which seats in the housing exerting pressure against the bushing, and thus, against the central retainer ring to assist in blow-out protection. The tubular plug is sealed by an internal o-ring to the upper valve stem. The upper and lower valve stems are sealed to the hard core body of the valve seat. The valve seat is sealed in the valve body by a pair of o-rings on opposite sides of the valve stems. The upper valve stem is keyed to rotate the closure disc by a handle arrangement. The valve is operable through 360 DEG  range and has a locking pin to hold the valve fully open, or fully closed, or at various intermediate positions. The valve may be installed in either direction in a piping system.

Patent AU-2807292-A (AU)
Title: Rotary kiln with a polygonal lining
Inventor: MOSCI RICARDO
IPC: F27B7/28
Filed: 1992-10-01
Abstract: A rotary kiln having a polygonal lining is disclosed for pyro-processing cement, lime, other minerals, as well as other materials. Specifically, utilizing a polygonal lining of a refractory or ceramic material having between 3 and 12 sides improves the heat efficiency or heat transfer between high-temperature gases and a burden of material to be processed by the kiln. Such an efficient utilization of the gas heat is due to various factors which cause a larger amount of the burden to be more quickly exposed to the high temperature gases. These various factors include increased tumbling, increased residence time, decreased degree of filling, and increased surface exposure.
