Title: Direct current powered hose rewinding apparatus
Inventor: MOON BRIAN
IPC: B65H75/40
Filed: 2005-08-05
Granted: 2014-10-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to portable hose carts for handling and storage of flexible hoses, such as garden or air hoses. The cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, an enclosure for supporting the spool, wheels at one end of the base of the enclosure, and a handle assembly for tilting the frame onto the wheels to facilitate moving the device. The handle assembly is telescoping mounted and includes a handle mounted near the top of the handle assembly. The spool is rotatable by either a direct current powered motor or a folding manual crank. Power from the electrical motor is transferred to the spool via an infinitely adjustable torque transfer assembly. When the cover is in the open position, the direct current motor is operationally locked out, and when the cover is rotated into the closed position, the direct current motor is operable. The device may further include a reciprocating guide assembly that operates during rotation of the spool to rewind the hose into a compact configuration.

Title: Hydrocarbon gas processing
Inventor: CUELLAR KYLE T
IPC: B01D3/00
Filed: 2004-02-12
Granted: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A process for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. The stream is cooled and divided into first and second streams. The first stream is further cooled to condense substantially all of it and is thereafter expanded to the fractionation tower pressure and supplied to the fractionation tower at a first mid-column feed position. The second stream is expanded to the tower pressure and is then supplied to the column at a second mid-column feed position. A distillation stream is withdrawn from the column below the feed point of the second stream and is then directed into heat exchange relation with the tower overhead vapor stream to cool the distillation stream and condense at least a part of it, forming a condensed stream. At least a portion of the condensed stream is directed to the fractionation tower as its top feed. The quantities and temperatures of the feeds to the fractionation tower are effective to maintain the overhead temperature of the fractionation tower at a temperature whereby the major portion of the desired components is recovered.

Title: Controlled-volume infusion device
Inventor: NEEDLE STANLEY A
IPC: A61M5/148
Filed: 2005-11-18
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: An infusion device capable of administering liquid medication at a continuous flow rate, and upon user demand delivers a controlled volume dosage of liquid medication at a higher dosage flow rate. The dosage reservoir (200) remains empty until the user actuates it by selectively and temporarily removing the pressure source, such as a spring (230). During actuation, fluid rapidly flows from the medication reservoir (100) to fill the dosage reservoir (200). After actuation, the pressure source (230) exerts a higher pressure on the dosage reservoir (200) than the medication reservoir pressure (100), which results in a temporary higher bolus flow rate. Thus, two distinct flow rates are achieved with one flow restrictor element (700).
