Title: System and method for acquiring voltages and measuring voltage into an electrical service using a non-active current transformer
Inventor: MOORE MICHAEL E
IPC: G01R11/32
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: A voltage acquisition circuit for sensing input voltage signals in each phase of an electrical service includes a non-active current transformer configuration that is operable over a wide input voltage range. The current transformer configuration includes primary and secondary windings, an input resistor and a burden resistor across which an output voltage is defined. The input resistor may be relatively large, such as on the order of about one M.OMEGA. and the transformer core may have a nanocrystalline core characterized by predictable magnetic properties versus varied transformer flux levels. This operational predictability facilitates phase compensation via digital filtering or otherwise for any phase shift induced between input and output voltages of the current transformer. The subject voltage acquisition circuits may be provided to sense each phase of a single-phase or polyphase electrical service, whereby the sensed voltages are subsequently provided to additional components of an electricity meter, such as a power supply or other processing components, including an A/D converter and microprocessor for determining energy quantities.

Title: Multiple retaining wall block unit with off-center splitting grooves
Inventor: RISI ANGELO
IPC: E02D29/02
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple retaining wall block unit provided with at least one set of splitting grooves positioned in such a manner as to permit splitting and separation of the blocks from the unit. The invention lies in that the set of splitting grooves is located along the unit in such a manner that the adjacent blocks that can be splitted, are not of a same length. As a result, the blocks when stacked on top of each other, have their front faces that do not extend necessarily in the same place, thereby giving more originality to the look of the retaining wall.

Inventor: SIMPSON NEIL ANDREW ABERCROMBI
IPC: B21D39/04
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shaping pipes, tubes, liners, or casing at downhole locations in wells. Use is made of rollers bearing radially outwards against the inside wall of the pipe (etc.), the rollers being rolled around the pipe to cause outward plastic deformation which expands and shapes the pipe to a desired profile. Where one pipe is inside another, the two pipes can be joined without separate components (except optional seals). Landing nipples and liner hangers can be formed in situ. Valves can be deployed to a selected downhole location and there sealed to the casing or liner without separate packers. Casing can be deployed downhole in reduced-diameter lengths and then expanded to case a well without requiring larger diameter bores and casing further uphole. The invention enables simplified downhole working, and enables a well to be drilled and produced with the minimum downhole bore throughout its depth, obviating the need for large bores. When expanding lengths of casing, the casing does not need to be anchored or made pressure-tight. The profiling/expansion tools of the invention can be deployed downhole on coiled tubing, and operated without high tensile loads on the coiled tubing.
