20100185334 | TRUCK COMPARTMENT VERIFICATION SYSTEM WITH ALTERNATE TRUCK ID - A fluid overfill detection and control system for controlling the transfer of fluid into a transport vehicle having multiple fluid compartments includes a plurality of overfill sensors that are connected in series with one another and that each produces an output pulse when the fluid level in its associated compartment is below a threshold level. A diagnostic line connected to each of the overfill sensors provides a diagnostic signal indicative of the number of overfill sensors that generate an output pulse, while a module on the vehicle provides an indication of the total number of overfill sensors located in the vehicle. To prevent a hazard due to the possible bypass of a overfill sensor, the controller compares the overfill sensor count signal to the diagnostic signal and inhibits the transfer of fluid into the vehicle if the values do not match. | 07-22-2010 |
20120245792 | PORTABLE TRUCK TESTER - A hand held portable truck safety equipment tester uses loading rack criteria to confirm proper operation of the truck but is contained in a small portable battery operated unit.

20150198016 | SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY FOR FORMING GRAVEL PACKS - A technique facilitates formation of a gravel pack. Gravel slurry is delivered downhole through at least one solid walled tube disposed externally to a base pipe positioned in a wellbore. A structure is used to enable connection of base pipe joints while enabling flow of the gravel slurry past the base pipe joint connection and into a corresponding downstream tube or tubes. The gravel slurry is then discharged at a desired location to help form the gravel pack by depositing the gravel and separating the carrier fluid. The separated carrier fluid is returned back through at least one permeable dehydration tube. | 07-16-2015 |

20130055824 | Weld Strength Test - A push test fixture having a cradle and a load pin is provided along with a test sample that reasonably represents the strength and quality of the original welds that hold the wrap wires and axial wires of the sample together. The test sample is placed in the push test fixture such that a particular weld on the test sample is aligned between the cradle and the load pin. A load is applied through the weld using the load pin, and a strength property such as the ultimate strength or the yield strength of the weld is determined. The cradle helps maintain the original, as-wrapped curvature of the wrap wire. The test samples can come, for example, from direct wrap filters or wire-wrap jackets. The strength property can be determined for at least every third wrap wire of the test sample. | 03-07-2013 |
