Title: Asphalt plant with collapsible material bin
Inventor: DAHL JOEL MILLARD
IPC: B60P3/06
Filed: 1996-11-22
Granted: 2006-02-07
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of constructing collapsible raw material bins for a portable asphalt plant in such a manner that said raw material bins may be located on the same flatbed semi trailer as the rest of the asphalt plant. The collapsible material bins are constructed in such that, when not in use, they may collapse in an accordion-like fashion upon one another. This is done by having one wall of two of the bins constructed so that it may slide in and out within the respective bin. Additionally, the bins themselves are mounted on a sliding rail system which allows for the necessary movement of the bin walls. The end result of this design is that it provides a compact enough raw material bin system to allow it to be constructed on the same flatbed trailer as the asphalt tumbler, and yet provides a large enough raw material bin capacity to allow for the efficient operation of the portable asphalt plant.

Abstract: An anode and an a cathode in a gas laser, such as an excimer laser, are spaced in a first direction. A voltage difference between these members produces an electrical discharge which ionizes gasses in the laser to react chemically and produce coherent radiation. First and second tubes made from a dielectric material are designed in contradiction to conventional designs by utilizing a constant, larger tube diameter with thicker tube walls. These first and second tubes extend through the laser in a second direction transverse (preferably perpendicular) to the first direction. The anode, the cathode and the tubes extend through the laser in a direction transverse to the first and second directions. The use of a thicker walled, large tube of constant diameter allows the use of a commercial grade polycrystalline aluminum oxide ceramic , rather than ultra pure ceramics. Bushings having anti-tracking grooves incorporated therein are truly integral with the tube, in that they are directly machined at each end of the tube, making the tubes easier and less costly to manufacture. The tube's larger diameter provides a greater surface area for the generation of photons, thereby creating a greater pre-ionizing effect than conventional designs.

Title: Method for treatment of wood
Inventor: HELLGREN KEIJO
IPC: B27M1/02
Filed: 1996-12-20
Granted: 2002-03-12
Abstract: A method for treatment of one or more wood elements (4) by pressurization comprises the steps of embedding the wood elements into a pressure medium (8), of increasing the pressure in the pressure medium, whereby the wood element is compressed by transmitting the pressure via the pressure medium to the wood elements, and of reducing the pressure in the pressure medium, whereby the wood element is relieved. During the treatment, liquid present in the wood elements (4) is driven out therefrom. The pressure medium (8) comprises a plurality of solid bodies with intermediate spaces. The solid bodies transmit the pressure to the wood elements such that a pressure difference arises between the wood elements and said spaces, which pressure difference drives out the liquid. During the relief phase, the wood elements substantially resume their original shape. The method can also be used for introducing impregnating liquid into the wood elements after the liquid expulsion.

Title: Flow divider box for conducting drilling mud to selected drilling mud separation units
Inventor: WILLIAMS J TERRELL
IPC: E21B21/06
Filed: 1998-09-29
Granted: 2005-11-22
Abstract: A flow divider box disposed beneath a continuous-loop scalper screen mud separation unit that is driven in a continuous loop conveying and discharging large amounts of drill solids at the end of the separation units end overboard or into a reserve pit. The flow divider box has a box-like housing with an array of openings to redistribute or separate the fluid flow stream, drilling fluid, or drilling mud, in the flow path of the separation unit and selectively supply drilling fluid or drilling mud to a sundry of shale shakers in the process of separating the sediments obtained from a well bore. The flow divider box has a series of collection divider boxes disposed below the separator unit that separate and redistribute drilling fluid or drilling mud, upstream of the conventional solids control equipment of the mud system of a drilling rig. The individual collector boxes are rectangular, baffled, and have adjustable gates parallel to the flow divider box, capable of 2' head capacity. This results in an increased hydrostatic head, which enables high flow rates to be easily processed. The adjustable gates collectively meter the flow rate to the shale shakers or other conventional downstream solids control equipment of the mud system. Thus, one flow divider box services a sundry of shale shakers, etc., while controlling the flow rate at each individual shale shaker.      The series of opened or closed gates, or positioned at various increments therebetween, provides the option of running one or multi shale shakers at one time, to compliment the drilling operations, with respect to changes in the lithology, geological formations, or loss of returns in relation to the gallons pumped or volume of drilling fluid or drilling mud entering the flow divider box.
