Title: Shiftable fluid diversion conduit
Inventor: MCBRIDE TODD
IPC: F16L1/00
Filed: 2008-05-28
Granted: 2015-09-08
Abstract: A fluid diversion conduit is provided for temporarily diverting a stream during pipeline construction activities. The conduit includes an offset section that is shiftable to adjust access to the streambed, for example to allow pipeline installation across the streambed. When construction activities are obstructed by the initial position of the offset segment, the offset segment may be shifted, for example by rotation to elevate the offset segment from the streambed. Further construction activities may proceed beneath the elevated section, and pipelayers can pass under it while carrying the pipe string into position. Flow through the conduit may be maintained by siphon hydraulics or by pumps when the offset segment is elevated.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: OSHIMA MITSUAKI
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1994-03-25
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.

Abstract: The induced vortex particle separator (10) is a device for separating solid particulate matter from a liquid containing such particulate matter. The liquid enters a housing (14) through an inlet port (13) and is driven about a helical vane (22) to form a helical flow path. Upon exiting the helical vane (22), the liquid is received within a central portion (26) of the housing (14) where a centralized structure including an annular stator (34) and an inverted diffuser cone (32) drive the liquid to form a free vortex. Under centrifugal force, the solid particulate matter is separated from the liquid and flows, under the force of gravity, into a lower region (18) of the housing (14). Due to a negative pressure differential, the liquid is driven upwards within an inner cylindrical shell (24) mounted within the housing (14) to flow into a siphon (19) for output through an outlet port (19).

Granted: 2017-04-11
Abstract: A hydraulic system for use with a pressurized fluid includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder. A flow path links the first and second cylinders in fluid communication with each other. A first piston is disposed within the first cylinder and defines a first axis and a second piston disposed within the second cylinder.  The first piston is movable along the first axis between a variety of operating positions and a rephasing position. The first piston has an exterior surface that defines a peripheral groove and several flutes. The flutes are oriented such that they are parallel to the first axis and intersect the peripheral groove, allowing the fluid to flow from the first cylinder across the flow path and into the second cylinder when the first piston is in the rephasing position thereby automatically rephasing the first and second pistons within the hydraulic system.
