20100015000 | APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUS SUPPORT OF PRESSURIZED AND UNPRESSURIZED MECHANICAL SHAFT SEALING BARRIER FLUID SYSTEMS - An improved, piston-based, pressure-transforming barrier fluid support apparatus is disclosed that can support both the pressurized and unpressurized barrier fluid requirements of a shaft-driven machine from a single unit. The disclosed apparatus includes both a pressurized section that stores, cools, cleans, and pressure regulates pressurized barrier fluid, and an unpressurized section that stores, cools, and cleans unpressurized barrier fluid. The disclosed apparatus causes debris in the pressurized barrier fluid to gravitationally migrate away from the piston, so as to prevent piston fouling. If the piston rod becomes detached, it is expelled downward for enhanced safety. Removable covers and/or a removable cylinder can provide enhanced access for cleaning and maintenance. Embodiments include a common cover that is shared by the pressurized and unpressurized sections and serves as a common manifold for cost-efficient fluid connections thereto. | 01-21-2010 |

20110278777 | VIBRATION DAMPING DEVICE FOR VERTICALLY CANTILEVERED PUMP ASSEMBLIES - A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) for damping oscillations of a hanging vertical pump structure includes a removable mass symmetrically configured within the pump structure diameter and supported by a mechanism which provides damped mobility relative to the pump structure so as to absorb and dampen pump vibrations and oscillations. The TMD mass is easily removable before tipping of the pump between horizontal and vertical orientations during maintenance. In some embodiments, the TMD mass comprises fluid pumped by the pump to fully or partially fill a housing, the fluid being gravitationally drained therefrom when the pump is not operating. In other embodiments the TMD mass is supplied by removable solid weights. Damped mobility is provided by springs damped by mechanical or fluid friction, or by obstructed movement of fluid within a partially filled housing. In embodiments, the TMD mass is at least 5% of the total mass of the pump structure. | 11-17-2011 |
20150322968 | SYSTEM FOR EXCLUDING PROCESS FLUID AND SOLIDS FROM SEALS AND BEARINGS OF AN AXIAL PUMP IN A LOOP REACTOR - A mechanical expelling mechanism for an axial pump system in a loop reactor includes straight or curved repelling vanes mounted to a vertical or tapered rear face of the impellor hub and a tapered wall provided in the adjacent seal housing. In combination, these elements exclude and eject process slurry, especially polymer solids, away from the seals and bearings, and thereby prevent damage to the seals and bearings, at least until a flow of flushing fluid can be restored. The repelling vanes further serve to circulate and exchange any process fluid and catalyst that remains in the space between the impellor and the seals, so that localized warming and run-away formation of polymer solids near the seals is avoided. The repelling vanes can be curved or straight. In embodiments, the repelling vanes reduce pump efficiency by less than 1%. | 11-12-2015 |

20090090798 | INDUCER COMMINUTOR - A device for reducing solids and increasing pressure in a fluid handling system has comminution and inducer sections in a housing upstream of a pump impeller. A rotor has a hub with a small inlet diameter and a larger outlet diameter and a helical rotor blade with its blade pitch angle progressively increasing from inlet to outlet as a polynomial function. The comminutor section has a larger diameter than the inducer section and comminutor vanes extending inward forming a vane edge effective diameter equal to the inducer section diameter. The rotor blade turning within the closing fitting cage of vane edges provides a crushing and shearing action to solids in the fluid flow. Cutouts on the blade edge provide additional crushing and shearing action against the vanes. The fluid passageway sectional area at the outlet is bigger than the throat of the downstream main impeller. | 04-09-2009 |

20130329980 | AUTOMATIC PROJECTION OF LANDMARKS TO GENERATE ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCES IN IMAGE REGISTRATION - When registering multiple multidimensional images based on landmarks, the system improves the distribution and density of the points in correspondence across images, which are of crucial importance for the accuracy and reliability of the resulting registration transform. Projection of input corresponding point landmarks is performed in order to automatically generate additional point correspondences. The input existing landmarks may have been manually or automatically located in the input multiple images. Projection is performed from each source landmark along one or more determined projection directions onto one or more determined projection targets in each image. The projection target(s) can be explicitly materialized or implicitly defined. Candidate new points are identified at the locations where the projection ray paths intersect with the projection target(s). Correspondence between the new points across images is transferred from the input landmarks from which they have been projected, with further distinction by projection direction and/or projection target in the case where a plurality of these was used. Subsequent registration can use all or a selected subset of all combined input landmark correspondences and correspondences between additional projected landmark points. The additional correspondences between projected landmark points contribute in refining the image registration. Such accurate, efficient and robust tools for image registration and any downstream processing, such as contour propagation or image fusion, are highly demanded for various medical applications, such as adaptive radiotherapy. | 12-12-2013 |
